As a parent-to-be (in less than a month!) and a dedicated gamer, this blogger is often faced with a dark dilemma. How to subtly work in gaming influences on the spawnling without pushing a love for things like sprites, whips, and black mages too hard? Trust Square Enix to find a way to make that a little bit easier with this completely adorable rubber ducky that is not, in fact, a duck at all -- but rather, a chocobo. Not just any old chocobo, either, but a fat little baby chocobo that is just perfect for fat little baby hands.The chocobos, which release in April, are a little costly for a bath toy at $13.50 apiece, but it may be worth the premium to snag the perfect tub companion. You can bet there's going to be one in this house.

Hey, congrats on the imminent birth Alisha! I'm sure your kid will love that chocobo - heck, I want one, and goodness knows I'm no child :)

As a father of a 6yr and 3yr old boy(s), I pushed many gaming toys on them and the love for them stuck. Their favorites are the plush Mario mushrooms and a plush ViVi from FFVII.

Whoops sorry, wrong FF. My mind doesn't function before first coffee intake.
ViVi also from Kingdom Hearts 2

Oooh, I may have to look into that stuff. We're also painting wooden coin blocks, because we're big nerds like that. I will, uh, use them to teach punctuation... or something. >.>

Holy smokes, Alisha's gonna' be a mommy! (^-^) Congrats!!
I think the Rubber Choco is the perfect way to inspire your baby gamer! Great idea, hehe.
I'm going to buy one and stash it for when I start manufacturing baby gamers, err, I mean.....having kids.

Haha, I like that phrasing. We're "manufacturing." The gaming industry should thank us for continued profits for the future!
