Throwboy Launches New Apple-Themed Pillows Modeled After iBook G3, iMac G4, Apple Lisa and More

[MacRumors]

Throwboy, known for its range of pillows crafted to look like classic Apple devices, today announced its Iconic Pillow Collection 2, a new series of pillow designs.

Available on Kickstarter, the Iconic Collection 2 features five new pillows modeled after Apple devices that include the 1983 Apple Lisa, 1999 iBook G3, 2000 Power Mac G4 Cube, 2002 iMac G4, and 2003 Power Mac G5.

Throwboy said that the new designs are meant to celebrate some of the most "iconic, bold, swing-for-the-fences designs in computer history" that are still beloved by the tech community. Like Throwboy's other pillows, the new Iconic 2 pillows are made from a soft, plush material with intricate embroidery that makes them impossible to miss as Apple device clones.

The Iconic Pillow Collection 2 is priced starting at $27 for a single pillow, though that is a limited price that will go up when initial slots sell out. All five iconic pillows can be purchased starting at $135 to $195 with early bird backing options.

According to Throwboy, these pillows will ship out to customers in May 2022. The new collection will join the existing collection that includes pillows modeled after the iPod, iPhone, iMac G3, and more.

Still have my Limited Edition iCEO Steve Jobs one, never unboxed. Fantastic.

Sorry, but these look horrible IMO. The blob shapes are somewhat representative of the actual product but isn't quite there.

 

[imran5720]

Wow those are ugly

 

[alexandr]

these look comfy! #sarcasm

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Wow! A rare collection. But they are so expensive. I wish they were signed or had imprinted signature of Apple

 

[grjj]

iBook G5. Can't decide if that's sarcasm, irony or sloppy writing.

 

[grjj]

Wow those are ugly

I'd liken them to a 10th grade home-ec sewing project.

How long til apple shuts em down?

"Throw that s!@# away" Steve

 

[tomtad]

That 2002 pillow looks like it'd hurt

MacRumors has a weird fascination with certain companies, Throwboy being one of them.

 

[ronntaylor]

I admire this company. The founder turned a passion into a business that's still going strong more than a dozen years later. I may actually buy one of the pillows for a family member.

iBook G5 prototype?

 

[TheSkywalker77]

The comments on these types of threads never fail to make me chuckle. ?

iBook G5. Can't decide if that's sarcasm, irony or sloppy writing.

Perhaps both?

iBook G5 prototype?

Alas I don't think one's ever been found. There is at least one confirmed PowerBook G5 prototype design, but the guts were removed and replaced with a dual 1.5GHz G4 design at some point before the system was discarded (and later made its way into the hands of a collector).

 

[ponzicoinbro]

Those are really ugly.

 

[canadianpj]

Wow, must be early and people have not had their coffee or something. Lots of cranky, snarky people.

They look great to me, I'll order, tho likely not the iMac probably.

1999 iBook G3 and 2003 Power Mac G5 look super cute to me. I have some of the Throwboy pillows and they look much better in person with lots of small details, and made of high quality ultra soft materials.

Yes, commissions will do that.

 

[BigMac?]

Error in headline: there is no iBook g5

 

[FocusAndEarnIt]

iBook G5? That’ll fry the goods.

 

[goodcow]

Some of these shapes seem uncomfortable as pillows, but I like the G5 tower.

What would happen if Throwboy was acquired by My Pillow? A present day replay of smallpox blankets? Widespread sickness among Mac users who love snugglemorphism?

Imagine if APPLE was acquired by MyPillow. All vaccinated employees—including Tim Cook—would be fired and masks would be prohibited at Apple Stores!
