In an effort to both serve our readers and help support The A.V. Club, we are going to post daily links to deals and interesting items that we find over on Amazon. If you use these links to click through and buy something—not just the thing you clicked—on Amazon, we will see a portion of that income. You don’t have to do that if you don’t want to, but if you do, know that we appreciate it.

Zoomer Hedgiez interactive hedgehog ($29.99)

We have no idea what this thing is or how it works. It just looks insane and, in the commercial on Amazon, rolls around a lot while child actors giggle. If you want to know more—and who doesn’t?—you can always watch Zoomer’s explainer video on YouTube.

Schleich hippopotamus toy figure ($5.07)

And then there’s this hippo, which does nothing but stand there and look fierce as hell.

Bandai Tamashii Nations Sailor Pluto figure ($31.14)

According to the listing, “Sailor Pluto comes with a meticulously detailed Garnet Rod complete with Garnet Orb that can be removed for separate display,” as well as interchangeable hands, face parts, and attachment joints.

Daniel Tiger restickable Colorforms ($10.66)

Give these to a kid on a long car ride for some blissful silence from the back seat.

Old Dutch brandy warmer with tea light and snifter ($10.86)

Did you know that you can heat up brandy over a low flame, like this candle? According to the listing, it “captures and concentrates the taste and aroma of your fine brandy,” but you’ll have to be the judge of that.

Kids USA puzzle ($9.99)

There’s seriously no better way for a kid to learn the states than to put this puzzle—or any state puzzle—together over and over and over again. Take it from us.

Xbox 360 4GB system console with Peggle 2 bundle ($139.90)

Less than $150 for a game system, wireless controller, game, and one month of Xbox Live Gold? That seems like a pretty good deal.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Leonardo figure ($7.19)

Everyone knows Leonardo is the most badass turtle.

Philly Phanatic mascot ornament ($14.26)

Shouldn’t every Christmas tree include a nod to baseball’s weirdest active mascot?
