Ten years ago, Hasbro made a transforming Optimus Prime plushie, and it’s one of my favourite transformers of all time. They haven’t made any more in a long time, so I decided to try and continue the line myself.
There are no buttons, wires or hard pieces, it’s simple enough for a baby to transform, and soft enough that you could give it to one! I’m thinking of making more of these, I have an idea for Blitzwing that would be surprisingly simple.
This was a fun experiment! I started with a knockoff Simpsons plushie I got on ebay, and I unleashed my inner Justin and Griffin on it until it looked Just Like Bart!™
Malachite is here, and she might as well have some fun!
I was worried I wouldn’t finish this one in time for May 12. It’s the biggest feltie I’ve ever made, and the first time I’ve made fully posable hands. They were a lot of work, but I’m really pleased with the results! She can even pick up and hold some of the smaller ones.
Sans is having a bad time, and she could literally squish Sardonyx right now, it would not be hard!
OH YES.
Feast your eyes, beauties! A transforming Mettaton doll!
I’ve been working on this for weeks, and I wasn’t sure I would actually be able to pull it off. If I ever tried making one of these again, I’d make the box a little bigger. It’s a very tight fit, and the velcro just barely keeps it all together.
I decided early on that I didn’t want his original body to be something separate that you take off and put aside, so came up with this battery backpack design. It’s inspired by a creepy duracell commercial from my childhood. My only regret is that it covers up his lovingly handcrafted butt.
His neck is extra long and his body is felted a little more loosely than most of my dolls to facilitate the transformation. I didn’t post any in-progress shots of this one because I didn’t want to ruin the reveal!
I admit that the hat looks kind of janky, but it was important that it be removable for obvious reasons.
Without it, Dipper is exactly one millimeter shorter than Mabel.
