Non-existent plushie design challenge

Spartan Race has a very nice logo.  I've been trying to found out who designed it just so that I can put a face beside that helmet.  I really like characters drawn in a cute way.  Some people have termed it Kawaii art.  If you look at my room, you will see a lot of cute looking figures collected from all over the world (an obvious exaggeration).

This morning while enjoying my new book "Spartan UP!", I looked at the front cover and thought I have never seen a Spartan plushie!  I wonder how it would look.  A plushie, obviously, has to be cute.  Unfortunately, my skill level as an artist is only limited to copying so I am unable to sketch out the winning Spartan Plushie to submit to the non-existent Spartan plushie design challenge.

Anyhow, feel free to enjoy my sketch.
