The Bob-Omb plush toy is a cute crocheted figure that takes its appearance after the Super Mario creatures of the same name. This stuffed gamer critter is a perfect present for the Nintendo fan.
This particular Bob-Omb is made out of super soft yarn, with a pipe-cleaner in the fuse and poly-beads in his shoes that allow him to stand on his own. There's no denying that the Bob-Omb plush toy is a wicked figure.
