Please note: our Makeship campaign with the Fuzzy plushies is now over. We will have a LIMITED supply of plushies (approximately 200) available for purchase on site at LAcon V at the Sales to Members desk.
We are so excited to debut, in cooperation with Makeship, a special plush animal themed for LAcon V: Fuzzy the Channel Island Fox.
Fuzzy the Channel Island Fox is the mascot of LAcon V, the 84th World Science Fiction Convention. Named after Marilyn “Fuzzy Pink” Niven (1940-2023), a long-time fixture of science fiction conventions who was known for her efforts to welcome new fans to the community, this plush Fuzzy The Fox will be a memento of LAcon V that will be a treasured keepsake and a tribute to a well loved science fiction fan.
Our site features a web page dedicated to our mascot character, to Fuzzy Pink Niven, and to the artist that brought Fuzzy to life in our publications and marketing, Teddy Harvia. You can also find out about the Channel Island fox on that page, and why we chose this endangered but persevering creature to represent our convention.
Advance sales of the plushie are now sold out; we will have a limited supply of plushies available for purchase on site at the convention.
LAcon V would like to acknowledge the Friends of the Island Fox, who will have a table at our convention to help raise money for their very important cause, helping to preserve this beautiful animal. Our plush toy is an homage to one being sold by Western National Parks, in effort to save the Channel Island Fox.
