Life Sized Weighted Companion Cube

I you still haven't played Portal yet (part of the Orange Box package) then hurry up and go play it. If you have, then no doubt you are probably missing your weighted companion cube. An recent ebay auction saw one lucky (rich) person win a Life Size Plush Weighted Companion Cube being sold for $1200. I hope this guy treats the cube well!

Measuring approximately 65 cm cubed and weighing around 12 kg, the cube costed a whooping $100 to ship to the auction winner. That's roughly £650 altogether. This was just one of three hand-made by Diane Koss. The first two cubes were given away at Fünde Razor, raising money for Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity. Diane is taking custom orders for more weighted companion cubes at her web store. However, don't expect it to come cheaply and I can't imagine her doing more than a handful of these as they take a while to make.

If you are poor like me, then you can settle for the 6 inch variety or the car rear view mirror variety both available from the Valve Store. But then again, they hardly compare to the life size version. The 6 inch variety has already been sold out but hopefully there will be more coming soon.
