Let's just go down the list of reasons that this toy rules:

1. It's a smilin' dictator. That's ALWAYS funny, right?

2. It's handmade, which is a huge bonus in this big-box world we're living in.

3. It's got a REMOVABLE HEAD! That's right! Get Castro in every color, and you can swap the heads around for a veritable Commie Rainbow! WOO HOO!!

4. It's made by a company called "Cupco" which is just the cutest darn thing we've heard in a long time.

5. Did we mention it's Castro? Smilin'? Made of felt? Awesome!

Once again, someone steps up and proves that plush is the new awesome!

It's about time the Castro romance kicked into full gear. This Castro plush doll will allow you to raise your kids with a fond sense of the gentle dictator. (via shoparooni)
