Ever go to sleep wishing you could snuggle up to a fuzzy replica of your Blood Elf Paladin geared out in their T6 tanking set? Or is your gaming center just not complete without a plushie version of old Solid Snake’s cycloptic gaze glaring down at you? If so, you are in luck because an artist named Debbie has set up shop creating custom made plushies from a variety of games, animes and movies, including World of Warcraft, Megaman, Naruto and more!
WowInsider reports that in addition to tailoring a very huggable looking female Troll Shaman (complete with totems), Debbie’s talented hands are also responsible for a Raika and Chaud plushie (Megaman NT Warriors) and a female Troll Priestess plushie. A gallery of her past commission works, including Twilight’s Edward if you are into that sort of thing, are viewable on her website.
She generally charges $60 for a custom made plushie and $10 for shipping. The plushies stand anywhere between ten to fifteen inches tall, are dressed in the character’s appropriate outfit, and come with whatever accessories (swords, guns, etc.) that you desire.
$60 may seem like a lot of money for a stuffed animal, but take into consideration that each one of them are hand tailored and probably require at least five or six hours in order to make. And that is not even taking into consideration the materials that go into the crafting process. It is also worth noting that her rates are, at the very least, comparable to getting a drawing or painting of your favorite video game character commissioned.
FigurePrints offers a similar service, allowing gamers to purchase a miniature replica of their World of Warcraft character for $130 plus shipping.
Here’s linkage to her store.
Mark Fujii: I'm your typical college student who plays too much video games. I also work as an electronic sales associate, meaning I sell Ipods and violent video games to your children when not trying to sneak off and play Super Smash Bros while the boss isn't looking. Oh, and I'm totally awesome. True fact.
