Beware of the rabbids!

Hi there,

I must admit I never was a big fan of Rayman, but that changed pretty fast. Last year a legion of fluffy white, but full-blown evil rabbits pulled my attention at the Ubisoft booth during the E3 convention in Los Angeles. After a few minutes of playing Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Nintendo Wii, I was convinced. These rabbits are cool as fuck.

At the end of E3 all of the white rabbits that were used for demonstration purposes were snatched by the public, within like two seconds. Luckily, Ubisoft started with UBIart, an online shop were you can buy plenty of goodies from the game.

Right away I ordered a set of four vinyl mini figurines (Raving Cook, Rabbinho, Rabbmoo and Rabbmaid - see picture), a plusch rabbit doll for my 2 year old son and the resin toy figurine Bunny Gonzales, a punk version of Rayman riding a mean rabbit. The guys of UBIart surprised me with free extra goodies like a bloc-note and fridge magnets.

And here's the best part. A few weeks ago, as a game journalist, I received during a special press conference for this game in Paris, France a goodie bag, including a button, an inflatable frisbee and a set of wooden tennis rackets for the beach. Great job, huh.

You can order your own stuff at www.ubi-art.com. Enjoy them like I do.

Game on
