Little Big Planet 2 Special Edition

Media Molecule went bigger with the sequel, and the Little Big Planet 2 Special Edition on Playstation 3 wraps that ambition in a package built for collectors who like their shelves tactile. The 15cm Sackboy plushie is the headliner here, a soft, physical version of gaming's most huggable mascot sitting pretty next to a SteelBook case that gives the whole set a premium spine on any shelf. The DLC lineup mirrors the community-driven spirit of the franchise, with costume codes for Pixar's Toy Story 3 Alien, TRON Legacy's Clu, The Muppets' Great Gonzo, and a full menagerie of animal Sackboys including Crocodile, Vulture, Cobra, and Mandrill.

DLC avatars round out the digital side. The SteelBook alone makes this edition worth tracking down for case collectors, but paired with that plushie, you've got a display combo that captures everything LBP represented during the PS3 era. It was joyful, creative, and just a little bit tactile in a way other platformers never managed.

This special edition gets that.
