Meet warriors Gunnarr and Védis, two Viking softies looking for a good home who swear that their days of pillaging and butchery are over. The cuddly toys, designed by Scatterpillar Designs, have been commissioned as part of the National Museum's exhibition documenting the Viking Age in Ireland.
The cuddly digitally-printed duo come with historically accurate felt and appliqué finishes. They come in two sizes, 18cm (€29.95) and 30cm (€49.95) or buy a pair of the smaller size for €50.95 at the National Museum, Collins Barracks and Country Life, Turlough Park, Co Mayo.
