PHOTO UNAVAILABLEA deeply suspicious source of comfort.
A round plush plague doctor with a beaked mask, top hat and tiny lantern. Its entire wardrobe suggests bad news; its actual job is sitting there being soft.
It may look like a punchline. Look closer: what it does, why it caught our eye, and who would actually enjoy it.
A roughly 9.5-inch plush character dressed as a plague doctor: dark coat, tall hat, beaked white mask and a little lantern. The lantern has a glow-in-the-dark detail; this is a stuffed collectible rather than an electronic nightlight.
Give it a place on a shelf, desk or bed. Let the lantern's glowing detail appear after exposure to light, and introduce the character to visitors without explaining why your room needed a tiny masked physician.
A beaked mask and dark clothing usually make a figure unsettling. Here those same shapes become a rounded, almost apologetic companion. The interesting part is the collision between its ominous costume and its very unthreatening body.
Gothic-decor fans, collectors of unusual plush characters and friends who prefer their cute things with a faintly alarming backstory.
