For a long time I’ve wanted something with some personality sitting on my desk. Beyond figures, what I really wanted was something that represents Linux — like that very fat penguin. I figured this stuff would be easy to find. Surprise: Taobao doesn’t have it. So I looked further afield, and it turns out it’s hard to find anywhere in the world selling toys of this thing, let alone figures. There was a point where I seriously considered buying a Tencent penguin just to convince myself it was Linux’s Tux. Then I found a toy shop on Amazon US selling Tux plushies. Not big, but small enough to actually sit on a desk — they had a hanging ornament, a desktop decoration, and a keychain, three in total.
