Media Molecule writes: "Next Thursday, we'll be going back in time. No not literally, we don't have the technology to do that yet, we do however have the technology to relive the past through LittleBigPlanet, with the History Kit: A creator kit akin to the Monsters Kit, packed with new objects, decorations, music, sounds, materials and 140 (zomg!) stickers, all spanning seven classic historical art styles – Oriental, Arabic, Egyptian, Gothic, Roman, Celtic, and Native American.

Check out the trailer below to see the pack in action!"

Well, that took long enough! Toy News Online is reporting that Impact International has secured the rights to produce plush Sackboy figures -- and a whole mess of other goodies -- for Sony. The UK, Ireland and the Middle East will be getting "plush items, bean toys, mugs, bobbleheads and bags" based on the iconic figure from LittleBigPlanet.

Additionally, Brazier and Co. are on board to make "PVC figurines," and even a "limited edition-themed version of Sackboy" -- whatever that could mean (other than a higher price tag). The various Sackboy-themed items will be hitting stores this October. Various other Sony IP (God of War, InFamous, MotorStorm, WipeOut, Killzone and Resistance) will be getting the poster treatment by way of GB Eye Limited, though no date has been set for the release of those.

When LittleBigPlanet PSP was first announced, we instinctively guessed there would be connectivity with the PS3 game. Looks like we were right. Players that own the original game will be able to unlock bonus content through a feature Sony is calling "Cross-Talk." No details on what the bonuses will entail, but we wouldn't be surprised if owners of both are treated to some exclusive costumes.

"This week, after over a year long wait, Fat Princess will be hitting the PS Store and 'eating' up the spotlight for the week. That's not to say there isn't another "heavy" hitter this week, as a demo for Madden NFL 10 will be tackling the PSN."

vg247 says: "LittleBigPlanet creation aspects are to be expanded in upcoming DLC, Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healy has told VG247.

"A lot of our DLC so far has been based around expanding our palletes, if you like; more costumes, more stickers, and things like this," said the developer.

"A big part of what's coming in the future expands on what's possible in LittleBigPlanet in terms of it being a creation tool."

When asked specifically if he was talking about the game's feature set, Healy responded:

"Yeah. There's going to be lots of exciting things that make it into more of a versatile creation tool."

Healy was speaking after a talk on the visual style of LittleBigPlanet at Develop in Brighton earlier this month, in which he and fellow Media Molecule founder Kareem Ettouney said upcoming content for the game would make fans "very happy".

It was confirmed during the talk that more than 1 million LBP levels have now been created by PS3 users"

Gamezine: It looks as though the loveable Sackboy has been stolen for a Brazilian cartoon.

A new cartoon for a Brazilian children's show on SBT (a Brazilian television network) features characters that have an uncanny resemblance to LittleBigPlanet's Sackboy.

The opening to the cartoon can be found below thanks to XmurielnanetX and the resemblance hasn't gone unnoticed. One YouTube user comments: "LittleBigPlanet: Edição Especial Para Pobres," which translates to "LittleBigPlanet: Special Edition for Poor."

TheSixthAxis:

LittleBigPlanet has received continous patches since its launch, and normally the larger ones have contained some important new stuff like the Metal Gear Solid content, as well as having cute little codenames like Appledore and Ricotta. Not this one – today's unannounced update, 1.16, weighs in at 80MB and thus almost certainly contains future (and currently secret) DLC. For reference, the MGS content was roughly 65MB.

Naturally, nobody seems to know what's in the patch, but we eagerly await any information anyone might be able to dig up.
