The dolls are each $39.98 (or two handy payments of $19.99) from the Ashton-Drake Galleries, an affiliate of the Bradford Exchange, which has been an official NFL licensee for years. Although you can only buy the dolls from Ashton-Drake, the NFL sales department is very familiar with them and says the Broncos Couch Potatoes have proved popular -- if a little creepy.
Fair warning: Ashton-Drake won't ship your custom couch and Broncos blanket until after your first two little spuds have been paid for and delivered. But you can also buy solo fans, including a Tailgatin' Tot. Sadly, unlike other baby dolls sold by Ashton-Drake, which you can warm up in the oven so they feel more real when you cuddle with them, these couch potatoes are standard room temperature. As is the IQ of anyone who buys them. Have a tip? Send it to [email protected].
