I am happy to present to you all the finished Cy-Kill plush! :D

Although I ended up doing some considerable backtracking in this project, I'm quite happy with how he came out in the end and generally glad to have him in physical form ^v^

In terms of unique features really the only thing of note is the fact that his wheels can be removed, then there's also plastic pellets in his hands and feet as per usual

Small bonus:

I ended up deciding to replace his left eye at least 5 steps after the last possible moment

It was quite the finicky process, but at least I found some humour in the situation (shown in the meme I crafted above)

During one of the days of our road trip, we stopped by a peaceful little cafe by a sculpture garden

It did start raining but at least it was a nice break from the unbelievable heat

A distant photo of a duck with their ducklings! I didn't want to approach and spook them, so this is the best pic I could get

I don't think I've shared this yet, but I'm currently working on a Fitor plush :]

Also here's a quick mildly chaotic little peek at the point I'm currently at with the project

I'm quite happy with how he turned out, and especially with how well he goes with Cy-Kill (believe me, getting plushies to scale well with each other when making them from scratch is quite tricky)

In terms of features, Fitor's wings are lined with crinkly plastic for both structural integrity and a fun little sensory/fidgety thing. The wings can also be pinned back with button snaps if need be (as shown in the photos) And like most of my plushies do, Fitor has plastic pellets in his hands and feet

I challenged myself to make a Beanie Baby inspired plushie of the Gobot's Command Center in one day... and this is the result :]

Very happy with how this silly little loaf turned out! Especially considering the fact that I did most of the sewing by machine (I'd usually opt to hand-sew a lot of the trickier seams since the machine feels very easy to make a mistake on)

There isn't much to say in terms of features, this fella's basically just a funky bean bag with legs. I did add a little tag as well, I wanted to experiment a little bit with features I don't typically add

Flytrap plush progress photos! Except they're a bit out of date because I procrastinated on sharing these... this guy's actually in the final assembly stages now, lol

In any case, mainly sharing these to give y'all a better look at the back side of the face, as well as showing to some extent how I went about making the box that encases his head (I opted to leave the outer seams open so that I could ladder-stitch them shut after putting in some acrylic foam sheets)

Here we are folks, Fly Trap's complete! :D

Took me a bit longer than usual since I've been working on two projects at once, but I'm glad I finished him regardless

Now in terms of features, the main one is the bubblegum scent chip I put inside his chest! (Because it felt funny and ironic to make a garbage truck smell like something sweet) I also made his little hip-pouch things removable via buttons, mostly to give them the ability to swivel so they wouldn't get in the way of him sitting

Structurally, I put some acrylic foam sheets inside the box around his head as well as his "cap" brim so they'd keep their shape a bit more, then of course we have plastic pellets in the hands and feet as usual

(Small bonus pic under cut)

Here We Are Folks, Fly Trap's Complete! :D

I managed to fit Fly Trap into the dresser lineup, even if it is starting to be a bit of a tight squeeze (Where exactly a plush is gonna go after I've finished making them always seems to be an afterthought, lol)

Poor Optimus, smothered in his sleep... What an unfortunate way to go U_U

I don't think there's many ways to pack a non-pocket-sized toy into a suitcase that doesn't look at least a bit funny, lol

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to use this as an excuse to share how these two were packed up for a trip I took earlier this month. Probably not nearly as funny as Optimus but I still found it quite amusing at the time ^v^

Poor Optimus, Smothered In His Sleep... What An Unfortunate Way To Go U_U

(Safe to say, they both got very squished during travel)

Oh my god guys, I’m going home today so I had to pack Optimus down and 😭😭

Optimus in the suitcase fo today
Aww he's all tucked in :3 nighty night Optimus
SUFFOCATING HIM UNDER THE PILLOW

I’M SORRY I FIND IT SO HUMOROUS LOOKING AT HIM LIKE THAT. I TUCKED HIM IN AND THEN SUFFOCATED HIM.

Yippeeeee, I've finally got the Crasher plush underway! :D

So far I've got all the pieces traced (most of them cut), and I've even done a bit of sewing since I took this picture

(I've opted to do a good chunk of the sewing by hand so this may take a while)

Despite the fact that she's caused me more trouble than I was anticipating (mostly because I needed to re-cut multiple pieces due to the initial proportions being completely and utterly wrong -_-) I'm quite happy with how she came out ^v^

In terms of plush features, you can remove her brain! I decided it would be fun if you could take her brain out because I just generally like the concept of plushies having pockets containing removable organs. I've also decided to put a rattle in the brain! Since I like when plushies rattle but I'd sometimes rather they be quiet, I figured it'd be convenient to make the portion with the rattle removable so that you could have a smaller object to fidget with and have a plushie that doesn't have to make noise all the time.

I think it's also worth mentioning that I put more beans in her hands and feet than I normally would, which is my attempt at giving a subtle nod to her unique seismic-stomp attack.

(Bonus infodump below cut for anyone wondering why I gave a robot a normal-looking brain)

So! For anyone unfamiliar with the Gobots, they aren't actually fully robotic like you may be expecting. In the lore of the show "Challenge Of The Gobots", they were originally organic beings who had to transfer their brains into robotic bodies due to a cataclysmic event as a result of the raging war threatening to wipe them out.

In the episode "Sentinel", we get to see an x-ray shot directly showing the fact that they have organic brains (Screenshots shown below, I apologise for the nightmare fuel)

Yippeee!! Look Who's Finally Done! :D
Yippeee!! Look Who's Finally Done! :D

As for why I decided to only apply the removable brain idea to Crasher... She just kinda seemed the most fitting. And also design wise, it's far easier to hide the zipper on her than it is on anyone else.

[Slight tangent, but Crasher having her brain fill up that much space in her head just can't be good for her. I understand that the artists doing these drawings probably didn't put too much thought into it, but she seems much more at risk of getting a concussion, especially with how many head-on collisions she gets into]
