The Life-Sized Plushie Companion Cubes
What you see before you aren't just the coolest damn game-related plushies on the planet. They're not just life-sized, and very huggable Companion Cubes, no they're also the grand prizes for the Brooklyn and Denver Funde Razor events happening on Dec. 12 to raise money for Penny Arcade's Child's Play Charity.
That's right, not only can you hang-out with fellow gamers in Brooklyn and Denver and play a little Rock Band or Guitar Hero on a big-screen, but you have a chance at winning one of these Companion Cubes created by Diane Koss with the help of a grant from the Bond Street Group. Each of the two cubes, seen here sandwiching one standard-issue human female, will be awarded to one test subject in each Fünde Razor facility.
Also: We'll be giving away some LEGO, courtesy of Lego and Net Devil, co-creators of the upcoming LEGO Universe massively multiplay online videogame. More prizes to be announced as we get closer to the event.
Joel Johnson will be on hand at the FR in Brooklyn to make sure people get the goodies and I'll be on hand in Denver to rock out.
Hit the link to check out the complete details for the upcoming, and hopefully soon to be, annual event.

Funde Razor '07 NYC Style
wish I lived in that general area :( sounds fun
I'd rather be hugging one standard issue human-female then an inanimate plush stuffed cube.
I want one bad.
Sounds cool.
The question is, if you win do you choose the Weighted Companion Cube or the Standard-Issue Human Female?
I'd buy one if they were for sale :\
But... but... that's MY companion cube. I carried it in the game. Did someone save it?
I want it back! Willing to spend money if necessary.
Sweet. I just turned 21, so Funde Razor is a definite must for me. Anyone else hitting up Barcade?
Companion Cube.....how I love thee....especially when you're so big ;_;
The world needs MOAR companion cubes I say ><
Awesome. What you should do, though, is award the two cubes to two different people, have them compete in Guitar Hero or something, and the loser has to throw his companion cube in a giant furnace.
@kylenalepa: lol Kyle wins.
I already wished I could've gone to one of the Funde Razor events (I'm too far away from both). This just makes me cry now.
@NPlace: I'll be there, dude.
Everytime I see new Funde Razor posts I get more and more excited!!! I can't wait!
Are the cubes going to be raffle prizes? Or Rock Band/Guitar Hero prizes?
I'd love to come out and help the kids (and maybe win a cube or some LEGO swag), but I'm really not interested in the faux musical genre.
Totally hitting up the Walnut Room in D-town. Anyone else? Hopefully there's many standard-issue females.
@NPlace: I'm thinking of going.
Barcade's only about 5 or 10 minutes from my apartment.
finally, a practical companion cube that can be used to depress all the large red buttons in our lives :p
The good news is that you win the cube. The bad news is that they make you incinerate it before they'll let you leave.
@kylenalepa: One given away in Denver and the other in Brooklyn.
Standard-issue?!?!
I didn't get issued one. :(
I was planning on going until I realized I had a final that next day. There is no way for me to drive there for the Funde Razor in Denver and still be home in time for the final. Let alone study for that final. /sigh I will try to catch it next year. The event seems to be panning out pretty well and hope to attend it next year if this year's a hit. I was looking forward to saying "Hi" to the feared pirate Crecente.
@pyrealnova:
@NPlace:
I'll most likely be heading to barcade as i live in brooklyn
LEGOs + Companion Cubes?
this must be heaven
Do we get the girl in the picture too? Please? >_>
Companion Cubes are the pet rocks of the geek n chic? btw I was severely disappointed when I got to that section of the game... I blame myself for reading too much of the hype, and not getting though the darn thing fast enough.
I hate when something cool comes along and its not for sale. I have the worst luck I will never win. Im going to the one in Brooklyn but I know I wont win.
I'd totally spend like $50 for one of those.
oihhh you've made the portal fan girl sad... I want one.
@ichiban1081: My luck is the same as yours :P
Does Fünde Razor want to make some serious cash for Child's Play? They're sitting on a goldmine of an idea right there. They should just make a ton more of those things and sell them, for those who can't actually attend the events, with all proceeds going to charity.
(With Valve's permission of course.)
@1032002:
companion cube > human female for 2 reasons:
1. it will never threaten to stab you
2. it cannot speak.
I want one, too bad they'll end up being a lie.
And by "those things", I mean of course the cubes. ;)
.....I want! pure and Simple I WANT!
@willyolio:
Win.
I really wish i could attend this, if only to see the WCC up close.
I wish I lived in the area! Man VALVe, just make life sized cubes please!!!!
This is why I live in Brooklyn. It's full of NERDS.
(and dangerous people)
Brian, I know that there will be Alcoholic Beverages at Funde Razor. I'm 16; that mean I can't go?
omg those are HUGE! and cuddly! and lovable! and...flame retardant? *crosses fingers* i want!!
I would kill for one of those...and will.
Whoever's interested in going in NYC, feel free to contact me over XBL @ deevoc000 to get in touch before hand as I definitely plan on going.
Those cubes look like the perfect size to bend her over on.
@NPlace:
@pyrealnova:
@tslothrop:
@Thwick:
@designatedrival:
@deevoc:
I'll be there as well!
@carrierj1: Poor taste, my friend.
I'll be in Brooklyn as well. And Cresente, can we get confirmation as for whether those are raffle or competition prizes?
@carrierj1:
That comment looks like the perfect one to ban you on.
Those of us hitting up Brooklyn should coordinate a little.
Standard issue? That's not very nice. She's rather pretty.
Also, is this the only way to obtain a cube? It seems the pics of them have been all over.
Whoa, that cube is pretty cool. I wish they'd sell them :(
No standard-issue human males? :P
I think I'm in love with that lady.
Seriously, she's beautiful.
Want cube.
Those look a lot better than the smaller versions, which are basically spheres with corners stuck on them. At least these are actually, you know, CUBES.
@crecente: Gotcha. That kinda shoots a hole in my plan, doesn't it? Now I've got to get started on figuring out a witty plan for incorporating the next internet gaming meme into Funde Razor 2008... perhaps a stuffed Spore something-or-other? We'll see...
*fap fap*
i want one now!
As much as I'd like one of those companion cubes, I'd like that other hot female companion more.
@ashcraft:
Of all the comments that guy has posted, I'm mildly surprised that was the one that got him banned.
I wish I could go to Funde Razor. I'd never have enough to win the WCC, but I'm sure there's something else my money could go towards. And hey, it's for a good cause.
