Throwboy Launches Giant Pillow Modeled After Mac Finder Icon

[MacRumors]

Throwboy, known for its line of pillows designed to look like classic Macs, this week launched a new jumbo version of the Apple fan favorite Icon Pillow.

Designed to look like the Finder icon from early Macs, the jumbo Icon Pillow measures in at 37 inches by 37 inches by 15 inches, and it is the biggest pillow that Throwboy has created to date. It is made of a soft plush material with fleece eyes and smile, and it is so big that it weighs in at 16 pounds.

According to Throwboy, the jumbo Icon Pillow is the ultimate home decor for tech lovers, and it is sized for snuggling with. It is filled with a plush, poly filling that is meant to give it a bouncy fill, and it is designed to be durable.

Throwboy makes the Icon Pillow in a range of sizes, from jumbo to the more reasonable 13 inch by 13 inch version. There's also a mini pocket Icon pillow and one that comes with a sad face.

The jumbo Icon Pillow can be purchased from Throwboy for $390. It is available in the U.S., UK, and Canada.

$400 for a pillow?? Wut?

Apple should make the Polishing Cloth Pro™ with this design, or at least this one:

 

[DroidBro]

$390 for a pillow in this economy is absolutely hilarious.

 

[XboxEvolved]

I mean $50 for a reasonable sized one wouldn’t be bad…

 

[mike...]

That's cool as hell, I'm buying one right now

Designed to look like the Finder icon from early Macs

Um… isn't it designed to look like the current Finder icon?

$400 for a pillow?? Wut?

I don't see why that's so surprising. This is regular pricing for Apple based products.

I’ve still got my Throwboy iCEO Steve Jobs from many years ago

 

[CLS9]

How about a regular-sized throw pillow for $20?

 

[HiVolt]

Lawsuit incoming? LOL.

 

[Fuzzball84]

Just wait till you see the upgrade options and pricing!

 

[Apple_Robert]

No way I would pay $390 for that pillow.

 

[swiftapplefan]

I thought it looked really cool and actually wanted to get one, until I saw the price…

 

[jz0309]

wow, $390 (+ tax) for a 16lb pillow ... well, sure that some will buy it ...

Edit: + shipping ;(

 

[CarAnalogy]

How about a regular-sized throw pillow for $20?

It's times like this I wish I was good enough at media manipulation to make a really good Cheap Pete meme.

"FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS? For a pillow? Good LAWD that's a lot of money! How about I give you $20 and you draw me a smiley face on a regular pillow?"

In case anyone forgot I'll remind you that Cheap Pete is the legendary Chris Rock.

Would love Throwboy to make a version of the iCloud 404…

 

[ethanwa79]

If this isn’t officially licensed from Apple, it will be gone tomorrow.

 

[nutmac]

Lawsuit incoming? LOL.

Nah, Apple employees LOOOOVE Throwboy products.

$400 for a pillow?? Wut?

You can probably cut it up into 20 polishing cloths.

 

[coffeemilktea]

The jumbo Icon Pillow can be purchased from Throwboy for $390.

For that price, it better come with a complementary Apple Polishing Cloth™, or at the very least a complementary charging brick for non-pillowy Apple products.

 

[Royksöpp]

They can barely keep the little pillows in stock. What even is this?!

 

[kagharaht]

Even in my old days of being a Fanboy, $390 is a big ask! LOL...

 

[Bawstun]

$390 for a pillow in this economy is absolutely hilarious.

And they’ll sell thousands of them, that’s even more hilarious. A fool and their money are soon parted.
