Apex Legends isn’t known for its cute and cuddly characters, but a new piece of branded merch looks to change that. A pair of Nessie dolls are coming, perfect for sulking into after you were one shot away from being crowned match Champion. The new Nessie plushies are exclusive to Entertainment Earth.
$10-$30
The 12-inch and 6-inch Nessie dolls are available for preorder at Entertainment Earth. The 12-inch doll costs $30, and the 6-inch version costs $10. But as the Apex social media channel points out, you can have both and make your own little Nessie family. The 12-inch version is coming in April, followed by the 6-inch version in May.
The plushies are a reference to an Easter egg in Apex. Nessie dolls are scattered around King’s Canyon and firing at them all in order will trigger a giant Nessie to briefly spawn in the swamp. The legendary creature has become popular among fans, having appeared on in-game items like charms and badges. These real plushies are modeled after the in-game item.
The Loch Ness Monster (aka Nessie) has been a longtime running gag and Easter egg in the Titanfall series, from which Apex originated. Apex’s connections to that multiplayer mech combat game have sometimes been tenuous, but Respawn promises the coming Season 9 will make Titanfall fans happy by bringing back a lot of its elements.
