Ozzy Osbourne may have tired of talking about the time he bit the head off a bat during a 1982 show at Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa (see: the first question in this Time Magazine interview), but the 37th anniversary of the stomach-churning incident had him come around to the novelty of it all with the release of a plush bat featuring a detachable head emblazoned with the singer's name. 

The plush was an instant hit following its announcement on Ozzy's social media pages yesterday, January 20th, and the first batch of the 12-inch tall toy has already sold out according to the official store's description. Fans can still pay for the collector's item, as the company will be making more and sending them out in March. 

If looking to the past has you ready for more current affairs in the Prince of Darkness' musical reign, check out the upcoming next leg of No More Tours 2, beginning with a special January 30th date in Dublin, Ireland with Judas Priest before the official start comes on February 1st in Nottingham, England.
