Search Results

So I was looking for sackboy dolls when the game was released but now that the hyped has died down, kind of, it slowly vanished off my want list. But I see a few are still looking for it. I’ve done a bit of research and apparently people are selling them on ebay, be it the real deal (as they claimed) or hand knitted or even hand crocheted ones.

Strange thing is they don’t list them as LittleBigPlanet but Little Big Planet, as three separate words. So you won’t find anything if you search as one word which I later discovered. Anyway here are some ebay search results for those of you who are still looking for one of these.

Ever since I saw the Snake and Sephiroth Sackboy plush dolls from Gametrailers.com, I had been wondering where these or any Sackboys are being sold. Play-Asia came to mind immediately and they actually have them but unfortunately they are “Out of print / Out of stock“. And they don’t have a huge selection either and all the plush dolls have the same skin color and differ by a few little things like an eye patch or sunflower hat etc.

The next place was ebay, hoping someone managed to get their hands on some, either through import or from Japan. And I got empty search results.

Come on, I don’t see why Sony and/or Media Molecule, the company that developed this amazing game wouldn’t want to monetize by selling these adorable plush dolls. I don’t want to sound like a girl but I think they are perfect for my car’s backseats or the back of the rear windshield!

As promised, I bought these packs as my Christmas presents, well a bit too early but what the hell. I have purchased the two DLC packs for LittleBigPlanet – the Metal Gear Solid Premium Costume Pack and the Premium Level Pack. All I can say is its worth the money!

  

As you know there are 5 Story Levels as well as 1 Challenge Level along with 6 costumes and a lot of objects, stickers etc. The first level is basically an intro, you don’t really get to do anything but the scene is nicely done. The second level is where the fun begins because you will get to play with THE PAINTINATOR. I think that’s basically the meat of the level pack and also a break through for LittleBigPlanet because its the first real weapon for LBP. This level will have you practice on non moving targets then move on to the harder, moving objects and dodge away from bullets (huge green balls), not too hard there. A HP meter is also introduced which I find it very innovative, for LBP that is. An enemy will have a HP meter so you will keep shooting it until its meter is empty. Again HP is nothing new in the gaming world in general but it is for this game.

  

The third level is where the actual “story” starts and you will fight your way through this level then progress to fourth and finally the fifth level is the boss level where you will get to fight a Metal Gear which in my opinion, beautifully designed. Its weapons are insane too as it will try and kill you with machine gun, rockets, lasers and the huge laser gun.

  

Overall the 5 levels are pretty shot, about 30 minutes or so, but extremely fun, even better if you play with friends. The Challenge Level, your goal is to surive as long as you can while you blast away the laser cannons on the ceiling. Again pretty fun if you play with others.

  

The costumes are also very detailed and really do resemble the characters from Metal Gear Solid. I personally like Raiden but I think Screaming Mantis has the most detailed features of all costumes. It even has the two hanging dolls behind (see screenshot).

  

I’m not sure about other packs, but these two packs are a definite must for MSG fans as well as LBP fans! Get them now! Treat yourself two special Christmas presents BEFORE Christmas!

And I look forward to more new levels with weapons in the future.

Gametrailers.com has more trailers for LittleBigPlanet for the PlayStation 3. Although they are all in Japanese, just by watching the game itself is more than enough to sustain my hunger for this game. By the way I’ve already pre-ordered my copy at Futureshop because you get an exclusive costume as I posted previously. I will be getting the Nariko costume from Heavenly Sword, speaking of which I will be playing that game again for the 4th time. Such a nice game but far too short.

Anyway back to the topic, these trailers are almost 17 minutes long in total! I particular like part 2 since it demonstrates how Snake and Sephiroth are born from scratch! And then it shows the producers holding real Snake and Sephiroth Sack Boy plush dolls. Man I want to get me one of those! I’m sure they will make them available, at least in Japan, since its another way of making money from us fans.

9 more days people!! Get ready to be creative!

Enjoy the trailers!
