    After Angry Birds proved that cute and cuddly video game characters could be just as cute and cuddly in real life, every notable developer seemed to jump into the plush toy market.  You can buy Cut the Rope stuffies, fluffy Fruit Ninja figures - the list goes on and on.

    By

    Last year, while Disney was paying $700 mm+ for Playdom, Electronic Arts was buying PopCap Games for $1 billion, and Zynga was going to be valued at over $20 billion in an IPO, Bobby Kotick was being ridiculed as as a dinosaur in the games industry for missing the social games boat.  Even, as it so happened, by this guy!

Thanks to the crack investigative journalism of the Gamezebo news team, and a stolen time machine, we've managed to uncover the details of Angry Birds' next merchandising move. Wait, what? This just in: I'm getting word it wasn't a time machine that helped us...it was the internet.

    Toytally awesome: Mattel’s “King Pig” figure unlocks new modes in Angry Birds

In truth, however, my first - and seminal - play experiences were with real toys. Pitting my Toy Story figurines against my Small Soldiers warriors in a made-up conquests for the fate of a made-up empire.

    Out of the sewers and into your living room: Where’s My Water? merchandise is here

    By

    We're at a point where it's almost harder to find stores that don't carry Angry Birds merchandise than the ones that do.

Next up to bat in the war for casual gaming merchandise supremacy is Disney's Where's My Water?, slipping into mass retailers nationwide this June.
