Crush the Stuffed Animals Who Oppose You with Gundam Slippers
After some disappointing movie news, it’s nice to see something done right?slippers in the shape of Gundam’s iconic foot, which even make the Gundam walking noise when worn. Sure, they might look too cute and comfortable to frighten your 5-year-old sister, but if your stuffed animals have declared independence and destroyed most of Earth’s population in a treacherous sneak attack, I imagine a bunny or teddy bear might cower before their might.
