I learned two things after finding Blinkymuffin's 'Monsters for MS' at Etsy.com: The plural of cyclops is cyclopes, and there is such a thing as baby-friendly toys.
Jokes aside, Blinkymuffin's 'Monsters for MS' are charitable stuffed cyclopes that are absolutely adorable. What's even more attractive about them is that 100% of the proceeds from their sale goes directly to the MS Society, and Canadian residents can even deduct their purchase on their taxes as a charitable donation. Sweet.
