With Valentine's Day just around the corner, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company seems to be pulling out all the stops to be "the Creative Alternative to Flowers". Customers can choose from a dizzying array of custom-made teddy bears, each with their own theme and meticulously detailed costume.
However, after visiting their site earlier today (for...uh....research, of course), I noted the Vermont Teddy Bear Company seems to have overlooked a potentially huge niche market. That niche market is, of course, comic book fans!
Enough with the Cupid Bears and Pirate Bears!
Instead, wish your Geeky Significant Other a Happy Valentine's Day with
What says "I Love You" more than a cute-n-cuddly Devourer of Worlds?
Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
You're right. Nothing says it QUITE IN THAT WAY.
Reminds me of a girlfriend I would have broken up with if only it didn't require the Ultimate Nullifier.

LOL! Yes, the handy Ultimate Nullifier is perfect for so many things, isn't it?
As for the GalacTeddy...I'm now crossing my fingers hoping I'm not going to be haunted by the ghost of Jack Kirby.

That is freaking brilliant and it (or the Starman action figure I'd been dropping hints for that he didn't get me either) could have saved my last relationship.

Hi, Ragnell! Yes...if anyone can heal a relationship, it's the Power Cosmic of GalacTeddy.
Thanks for stopping by!

I want this...NOW! Where me buy it?

Sorry, Mike...I wish it actually existed, so I could buy one, too! It's actually just a little Photoshop action on my part...so I guess I did a pretty convincing job if people actually want to buy the cute little ursine Space God. Who knows...maybe the Vermont Teddy Bear Company will take the hint and crank out the real deal.
Either that, or they'll sick their lawyer squad on me!

Looks like Galacteddy has a serious camel toe going on there.
