Plenty of tender loving care clearly goes into the creation of cmh design’s incredibly soft Wee Ones stuffies and pillows! Perfect for babies and kids from 1-92. Just because we’re not 5 anymore doesn’t mean we can’t hide a fake baby tooth in the Tooth Fairy Pillow and see what happens. =)

PIPEROIDS paper robots have long ruled the robot block here at Modern Mouse, but they’re now joined by a new friend — Ritz the Robot from Robot in the City! Ritz (seen here talking to Hammer Rose and Muscle Joe) and the PIPEROIDS have been getting to know each other since Ritz arrived at the store yesterday in the hands of Alexander Shen (whom we’re ever so grateful to fun and faithful Modern Mouse customer Shannon for introducing us to)!
Of course, we can’t exactly say that PIPEROIDS have been the …
