If I thought it would be possible to ship something from Australia to the US quick enough I'd ask you to make another one and mail it to me by April 27th ^_^ that's my boyfriends birthday, but I might just try my hand at making my own >.> You did an awesome job!! I think I'll also try making a Wii with wiimote, lol.

It should only take 2 weeks to ship from AUS to US, unless the package implodes or has a magical mystery tour around our postal systems So note me if you're interested!

A Wiimote would be so fun as a plushie although I must admit I'd probably just beat people with it. Wiiflail!

This is brilliant! It's such a contrast to the normally sharp plastic edges

Well luckily I am open for commissions, so if you want one, feel free to note me! I have plans to do more Nintendo plushies soon, too!

This took me about two weeks on an off around work and my (puny) social life. Materials weren't too horrendous, but there was a lot of time involved with all the detail work, and the custom-shaped high density foam wasn't cheap either!

What do you recommend for cleaning the dust and fuzz out of your cartridges?

Seriously, you could probably hatch up a bit of circuit board using gold thread and stiff green felt. I'd suggest using a stiff top for the console should you make a space for a cartridge, but it'd probably make it less snuggly.

I always used to just up-end my cartridges and give 'em a blow. Which reminds me of a shirt I wanted - had a picture of a NES cart on it and said "Blow Me", heheh.

I had thought of making it 'workable', yeah. My original idea was actually a cardboard skeleton stuffed with polyfil, but that's not as snuggly. But would make it able to have an open-close lid and the slot for the carts to slip in.

Green felt and gold thread is brilliant! I might have to nab that idea

How much would you charge?

I ask $80 for these guys due to materials and time involved. Feel free to note me if you want one and I can start work on it straight away

Thanks so much!

The controller and console took about a week each to make, working on and off. I suppose it would have been faster if I'd machine stitched some but then hand stitching and TV goes together so well!
