Club Penguin Plush!

Disney has released plush toys to tie in with their latest video game release, Club Penguin Game Day.  The game lets you, or rather, your penguin avatar, compete in Winter Olympic-style games and will release for the Wii in just a few weeks, well before the Christmas buying season.

The toys are pretty cute, especially the pajama one and the bumblee penguin.  What do you think about the trend of releasing plush toys to coincide with video games and movies, like the Super Mario plush or the minions from Despicable Me?  Are they funny or do they just end up in the charity donation pile after a couple of months?
