Countless generations of osu! players have yearned for one thing: the capability to squeeze an osu! cookie or mascot in plushie form. Thanks to a collaboration with Makeship, your dreams can now come true, with **THREE** new crowdfunding campaigns!
As you might've guessed from our recent [Twitter teasing](https://twitter.com/osugame/status/1600560233885339649) and [subsequent giveaway](https://twitter.com/osugame/status/1601055681217384453), we've partnered up with [Makeship](https://www.makeship.com/) to bring a selection of some iconic osu! figures into squishable life.

Feast your eyes on these glorious plushies in the form of *the* osu! cookie, pippi herself, and the much loved Taikonator 3000:
Exciting, right? While we don't have a banana for scale, we do have an open bottle of authentic green tea, a headphone amplifier and a DAC instead. Can you guess whose desk this is? We bet you can.
Still not convinced? Witness a pippi plushie riding into the (osu! cookie) sunset atop the Taikonator 3000 as she leaves behind a hard life of farming scores for a new adventure that involves actually enjoying the game. She's crying because she's happy.
Take a moment to look back on how far we've come, from clicking circles and making fan art to actually bringing both of them into the real world. In plushie form, no less.
When our dashing developer [smoogipoo](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/1040328) isn't carefully considering code commits, he moonlights as a plushie salesman. Instead of punching time cards, our developers try to sell you things that just straight-up punch you instead.
The one and only **nyankobrq** strides into our Featured Artist library!

**nyankobrq** isn't your ordinary electronic producer. Alongside his super catchy solo instrumental works, he's also a rapper in the unit *nyankobrq & yaca*, which you might've already heard from [twinkle night (feat. somunia)](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/1684705)!

We have ONE more artist planned for this year — a gift from the osu! team to you. You've been asking for this one for a while, so keep tabs on the [@osugame Twitter](https://twitter.com/osugame). You won't want to miss this.
**121** artists have set forth to end an era in osu! with their masterful creations, and now it falls to us to decide the finalists... with only **15** votes each!
With the festive season in full swing and the end of the year not far off, what better time is there to settle down for a couple of minutes and vote on your favourite bits of osu! fan art to close out the year?

Courtesy of one pishifat (for whom this very video is his *third* creation today, on Christmas Eve, bless his diligent soul), we've got a neat preview video showcasing a brief glimpse of what is up for voting, all set to the tunes of [2ToneDisco](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmaps/artists/157) x Kabuki's *Giga*:

We sure don't need to tell you that the window is tight this year, with 2023 *very* fast approaching. The vote will be up for only **7 days** from the date of this post, so make sure to get in quick and choose your favourites while the opportunity is still around!

A selection from the top-voted entries will make it to the game's main menu as the New Beginnings seasonal backgrounds, and their creators will also receive 3 months of osu!supporter.

And as always, the top 3 voted entries will be enshrined upon their author's profiles forever more as bespoke profile badges - a prize you can quite literally not get anywhere else.

A big thanks to everyone who took time out of the holiday season to participate, and we hope the change in schedule worked out a little better for you!

For the rest of us, we must now agonize over how to spend our votes. What wonderful woe.
