Raving Prince, Assassin and Fischer Rabbids
Posted by Brian Crecente at 1:00 AM on May 31, 2008
Ubisoft handed out packs of these four Raving Rabbids at this year's Ubidays. I'm not a huge schwag fan myself, but these managed to melt even my cold heart. And yes, we're sorry Ubisoft, turns out Sam Fischer did make an appearance at your show.

Wow, I am so jealous, those are really cool. I hope they sell these because I'd buy a set.

The Prince (of Persia) rabbid kinda resembles Prince (the freaky-deaky singer). In one of his earlier fashion phases.
Just switch that dagger for a mic.

Fisher rabbid is probably not a very stealthy rabbid....

The Fischer one freaks the hell out of me, because it's a third eye instead of a goggle eyepiece. Nightmares.

Damn, those are cool! See despite the Rabbib games being good to meh, they do have awesome characters which lead to this kind of awesomness!

@SpishackCola: Agreed.
As much as I would like to see another Rayman game, instead of the slew of minigames that are Rabbids, I have to admit that they're awesome.
And that I've enjoyed Rayman's Raving Rabbids a whole lot.

Those little Rabbid statues are pretty damn awesome. What a brilliant idea those Rabbids were, they'll fit into any situation/costume and charm it the hell up.

@jarjarwang: Obviously you are unable appreciate awesome swag when you see it.
The majority of the time at these press events the pass out bags of crap containing pens and keychains and other stupid shit. This, as swag, is awesome.
I just wish I actually went to the fucking event!

Altair Rabbid should have been the figure that came in the LE version of Assassin's Creed. Maybe they should do that for the second game. It beats the pants off that tiny figure that had poor detail to it. Actually that's it! Make it an LE gift for all those games :3

I'm surprised Ubisoft hasn't done more to market the Rabbids outside of the games themselves. I wouldn't want it to go so far that the series gets a television series or whatnot, but items like these would sell big I'd imagine.
Oh, yeah. I want those.

Didn't the first Rabbids game already have a Splinter Cell Rabbid, and he didn't look like that? Not that these aren't cool.

This needs to be one of those cute little shorts. Altair rabbid sneaks up to his target, then DDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! and hits him in the kneecap with a plunger.

@Jnkzm4: They're way ahead of you. It's pretty well hidden in Google searches, but Ubisoft has a special online store where they sell their more "arty" merch. I just took a look at it, and there's a sidebar image that shows the 4 Rabbids in this article (+ one more with a plunger on his head) and says "Available Soon."
Here's the link: [shop.ubi.com]

What if the Wii Prince of Persia is the same gameplay as the PS360 one, but starring Prince Rabbid and a plunger instead of the Prince and a gauntlet?

I'm hoping they'll make these eventually available for order - Would go well with the other entertaining game merchandise.
