About a year ago, I dared my friend Joel to imagine what it would be like if he designed a little plushie Wil Wheaton, and this happened:
After we stopped laughing about it, and enjoying how oh-so-clever we were, we started thinking about actually making it a real thing that someone could own, mostly because the idea of letting my dog murderize one was really funny to me. Then Joel pointed out that if we made it, we could give little Wil some minature dice, and someone would probably make a little clown sweater for him to wear…
I know, right? This was long before we even thought about dressing him up as Sparks McGee!
It took a long time and a lot of work, but it's finally happening. Little Plushie Wil Wheaton looks like this:
You can pre-order one of these little guys right now. Seriously, get together twenty of your internet space bucks, and go to the Hijinks Ensue store, for great justice.
Because Pinchy would have wanted it that way.

Shouldn’t Lil Wil have a “Don’t be a dick” shirt on? That’d be worth mega-bux!
“Suck my fat one”? Who ever told the plushie it had a fat one?
Soon to spawn a cottage industry of tiny, yet clever t-shirts and miniature clown sweaters…
It’s so…creepy. Yet, I still want one >.<
It definitely needs a clown sweater.
Oh I hope I hope I hope I hope!
It’s like a Jobu doll for Nerds.
But if I sleep with it, will Anne come to hurt me?
I would totally get one so my bunneh could hump it.
Need to add phrase: “I AM IN YOUR HOUSE”
I don’t think so. It probably has a web cam or something and speakers so it can spy on me. No way am I letting that thing in my house. So it can terrorize the cat? Watch me while I sleep? Steal food from the cupboards? Who left that dice on the floor?
Nice try, Wheaton. (Fry squint)
Hmmm, cat toy or poppet–that be the question.
Oh, how freakin’ funny it would be if one of these showed up in Lucille. (Hardison’s van) (Especially if it had pins stuck in it!!!)
I see you and Lil’ Wil share the same shit-eatin’ grin! Now I know what I want for my birthday!
“…and there’s a creepy doll, that always follows you…”
I know a couple of kniters who could help you out with the tiny clown sweaters.
I would pay good money for a picture of @Wilw collating a group of Lil’ Wils… Can one collate plushies? Only one way to find out.
Here’s to hoping my Arbitrary Day Secret Santa does his/her homework!
will it cure my son’s fear of dogs? does it glow in the dark? will there be peace on earth? can it bring back firefly? what’s that smell? oh crap! something’s burning!
I’m absolutely certain I need this…in a non-creepy way, of course.
As long as you have no follow-up questions, yes.
Will you have the prototype Li’l Wil with you at Polaris? Because I may have something for him that would amuse 12-year-old you. (Not as awesome as a shirt or sweater, but still…)
He needs a side kick, lil Wil and his talking (insert lovable idiot tag-along). Then lunch boxes and trading cards.:)
I want one that says “This is bullshit!” when you squeeze it. 🙂
Almost certainly.
THIS needs to be the new doll in the USPS commercials instead of the evil clown. The one where it mysteriously moves closer to the family- yeah, that’s the one. Mini-Wil would be perfect.
Excellent~ Then I will have geeky things to give you. 🙂
Totally needs a voice box that when squeezed said “Don’t be a Dick!”…. and I think I may have to make a mini fedora!
What kind of beer do we feed him?
*Volunteers*
Yes, Wil, the Doctor Who BBC Copywrite Rebel will make you one. What are the dimensions?
Yeah you know it’s awesome when you can have a plushie of yourself cause I know I’ll never see one of myself unless somebody is really looking to do that lol
Also doubles as a Commander Riker doll.
Homebrew. If that isn't available, any craftbrew IPA will do.
Not as cute as the real thing! 😀
As long as he doesn’t fake pee when I let him drink beer, close his eyes when I put him to bed, or stare at me while I sleep (yeah, i know I just contradicted myself), put me down for one!
holy crap lil Wil kinda looks like Norm Abram from Yankee Workshop

Ok, I definitely want one…. But chances are it will be chewed on by my 6 month old at some point. Any chance it can double as a Baby chew toy without suffering any long term damage (to either the doll or your pride)?
Ohhh Wil…. Clearly you’ll need a Fawkes outfit for him so you and Felicia can have Guild themed play time with your plushies of yourselves.
Haha, I had this same thought cross my mind.
My wife says I can’t buy a plushie Wil Wheaton, but she bought a Misha Collins blanket, so… actually a Felicia Day… um. Hmm. That might not fly, either. ≤ checks prices for ST action figures ≥
But more importantly: do you ship to Europe?
And a suit coat and tie, with a complimentary fez.
I love this idea so much. And that show.
This entry and comments are just too wonderful with morning coffee.
“Do you wanna date my avatar…” I agree, Lil’Wil needs a Fawkes outfit so Wil & Felicia, when she gets her own plushie, can play together. (Anne willing, of course!)
Big question: What will be there given what one doesn’t wear beneath the kilt?
I just checked the NHL store website. Sadly, there are no doll-sized Kings jerseys for Little Wil to wear.
Lil Wil really should be a guest player on Tabletop 🙂
I’m not going to buy one, because I have too much stuff sitting around my house as it is, but…that’s terribly funny. If you give one to you dog, PLEASE post a video online of the mayhem that might ensue.
HowCool has a “Tiny Fez” but it is discontinued.
Too bad, as it looks to be the perfect size.
Hrmm. Wil – I’m not sure if it’s specific to Joel’s site, or his ad providers, or what, but I got a nasty “You’ve won an awesome prize!” popup when I surfed to HiJinksEnsue with my Android phone. No way to dismiss it either, without being sucked into the spammy contest site. Specifically, I noticed it when I went to view the comic he made about your reaction to the Kings winning the cup (which was awesome, btw).
Regarding plushie Wil – adorable! 🙂
