Stuffed Tux penguin toy

I am aware that this is not the usual type of enquiry made in this forum, but I hope that somebody can help.

My wife and I are expecting our first child in mid October and I would like to get them a Tux penguin as their first toy. However I cannot seem to find one in the UK or that will ship for a reasonable price to the UK. Does anybody know of any place where I could get one, I am not looking for the interactive talking Tux, just a simple Tux.

I hope that somebody can point me in the right direction (thinkgeek.com has a perfect Tux, I'm just not willing to pay the extra $25 to have it delivered to the UK).

Kev

I don't know about buying one, but my wife made one with one of these free patterns.

EDIT: I also found these:

He saw thinkgeek, but didn't want to pay the extra cost for shipping to the UK.

Moderators rarely get stuffed. And it's not a good idea to ask one to do so!!
