Is little "ball droid" BB-8 already the breakout star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens? We're starting to think he is, and it looks like we're not the only ones.

The cute little guy blew our minds when we learned that he's not a visual effect in the film — he's 100 percent real, a feat that required some impressive new technologies. He's already been made into the coolest remote control toy of all time. He's on T-shirts and posters, he's in LEGO sets and books.

BB-8 is everywhere, and now, he can be your squishy.

ThinkGeek has a killer new exclusive from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and words cannot convey how much we want it. This life-size replica of BB-8 is every bit as charming as his movie star counterpart, but this one is good for something the genuine article will never be able to do: hugging.

The Life-Size BB-8 Plush is soft, squeezable, and it longs for a hearty embrace. ThinkGeek's exclusive is weighted on the bottom so he stays "mostly upright," according to the retailer. Standing two feet tall, just like the real thing, the BB-8 Plush will run you $50 plus a $10 fee for the oversized shipment it requires.

However, can you really put a price on true love? We think not.

The BB-8 Plush won't be available until December, but you can preorder him right now. Go ahead, we won't judge.
