Wedge Plushie!

Paints=Helmet Designs

Eyes will be purchased, noses will be formed and mouths will be stitched on.

It's really a lot easier than it sounds (I used to make my own Cabbage Patch Dolls for the kids I babysat when I was in Jr. HS (since no one wanted to spend $50 on a doll at the time and fight w/ other people who were).

 

EDIT: STUPID SNOWBOARDS AGAIN

 

Who's got something going on this weekend?

I'm swamped Wednesday and Thursday (my goddaughter is in town ), but I am open any other evening (but Mondays - Shelter Night).

You guys pick a day and time and I'll be there. Just remember the material needs to have some give, something along the lines of lycra. And the thread needs to be pretty strong & thick (oh yeah, you'll need some regular thread for sewing the body pieces together).

I may stop by the store this week to get enough to work on one doll body, just to work the kinks out of the system (it's been a while since I did any serious soft sculpture ).

 

What about Tues?

Actually, now that you mention it, I like the idea of doing a trial version first, just to work out the logistics, before investing in materials for the whole army. (Though I imagine some of the stuff for the trial run, like paint, will be enough for the whole thing.)

Helmets - are we thinking paint on the head type? Detachable? Solid? Soft? I kinda like the idea of detachable, if it can reasonably be done.

Oh, and what sort of size do you all think would be good for the plushies?

 

Might as well stick w/ the standard at 12"

And the helmets would be made w/ the white Pleather, so they would be detachable. The Paint is going on the Pleather for the insignias and stuff.

Not sure what to do about the chest boxes yet.... Maybe some Papier Mache? ?

Ribbon can be used for the straps (the ribbed stuff).

 

If not for this one line (and the fact that it's a fictional character dreamed up from the mind of an insane -but very cute & funny- board member), Wedge Plushie would've come close to seeing a firebreathing Dragon...

Wedge Plushie: "I wasn't going to teach you how to fly the X-Wing. You were going to teach me how to sew a really pretty Amidala dress."

Once I realized he's gay, I knew it was all good. *cracks knuckles like a goon*

 

Okay, just got another doll to work from (sans the overdeveloped torso - no matter what Fenig has to say about it), I should have a prototype ready some time tomorrow.

Got some ideas for the chest box, looked at the Hasbro 12" figures for some accessory ideas and I think we could have one ready maybe in a week... After that it's time for assembly line Rogues

EDIT: Oh, and they will be slightly larger than 12"

*whimper* What do you mean? Are you saying Wedge Plushie isn't real? Nooooooo! *faints*

 

Ah yes, I remember my first plush wedgie...

 

Thread resuscitation.


Plush Wedgie is NOT Sifo Dyas...

 

Ah, but how do you *know* he's not?
