FarmVille plush toys coming this holiday season

FarmVille, Zynga's popular Facebook game, is getting real -- well as real as it can with a collection of limited-edition plush critters sold exclusively at Best Buy starting Nov. 25.
Fans can chose among the pig, sheep, goat, duck, cow, chicken, horse and rabbit. Each of FarmVille's stuffed animals is priced at $9.99. They're 99 cents each with the purchase of a $25 game card.
The move to sell plush toys is not new for a hit online game.
Rovio, the company behind the global hit Angry Birds, started selling plush toys of the temperamental birds and pigs in December 2010.
More than 230 million people play Zynga games each month on Facebook. FarmVille is the company's global hit.

Each critter comes with:
  • Collectible barn-box that houses a surprise FarmVille animal in winter garb.
  • 10 free Farm Cash ($2) which is redeemable for FarmVille virtual items.
  • An exclusive FarmVille in-game version of the plush toy.
  • Players who fill their farm with all eight animals will receive a bonus in-game Super Orchard.
