Cute for all of us Nerds! Sep 01, 2010 I bought this for a friend's birthday gift. She often works with blood samples in a lab so I thought it would be cute if I filled a cylinder shaped glass vase with polished glass rocks the colors of white (for WBCs), peach (for platelets), translucent clear (for plasma), and red (for RBCs). I put the giant RBC on top of those, topped it off with a styrofoam cone that I lopped off to look like a cork and VIOLA! A Nerd-tastic gift for my work-o-holic friend. =)
The plush is approx 5 inches in diameter as stated. It's small, and quite expensive (9$ for the wee thing!). Anyone can easily make them. Of course, you pay for the convenience of it all. And best of all, it's super cute!

My son sleeps with blood May 10, 2009 My son (who was born in 2003) has a bunch of giant microbes now. We have the flu, typhoid, polio, fat cells, bed bugs, a red blood cell and a white blood cell. These are fabulous, well constructed educational stuffies. They come with detailed explanations and fantastic pictures of the actual microbes. We've combined these with the Grossology book for a fun, silly educational experience. We have a lot of fun with flu in particular pretending to sneeze and throwing it at each other. The red blood cell is particularly aerodynamic and helps my son understand how blood works and, combined with the lumpy little white blood cell, explain how his blood tries to keep him healthy.
