I love how the parrot has nails through it's claws.

I prefer the Muppet Show 25th anniversary -- God, I feel old -- posable figurines. The Muppet Labs model comes fully equipped with Beaker and a gorilla detector. (Dr. Bunsen Honeydew sold separately.)

I gave the Rabbit with Big Pointy Teeth to my sweetheart on Valentine's Day.

It's *that* kind of relationship.

I saw the parrot at Cosmic Comics a few weeks ago. I didn't notice whether it was still there yesterday.

For the last eleven or so years, I've given Bernadette a stuffed bunny for Easter. Alas, I had already bought her bunny for the year when I saw the Rabbit with Big Pointy Teeth.

The box for the Parrot is hilarious. I'm trying to remember if the Penguin on Top of the Intel Box (err, Television Set) has come out yet.

I have seen (apparently authorized) collectors' figurines of the Python knights for sale, together with accessories (rabbits, ducks, Holy Hand Grenades, etc.). I've also seen them in catalogs on the web (somewhere: you look for them if you're curious), and they first came to my attention on a medievalist scholars' mailing list, where they were apparently quite popular. I thought them much cleverer, and cuter, than the products described here.
