Daft Punk Plushies

[-Daftest-Punk-]

One thing that has always irritated me

If you watch the end of Interstella 5555 you can see two Daft Punk Plushies on the boys shelf

I have searched the internet to find if there are any copys of them but ive had no luck :(

Any of you lot think the plushies should be made? :)

[Jo_The_Marten]

Okay I guess I'll spill the beans abit here.....


I've actually been working on Plushies for a long time now. I've just taken a very long Hiatus on the project. So right now all I have is a naked headless Thomas. His head is.....in the making....but again, my laziness kicked in so eh..now he's just lying around here. Probably is on the couch somewhere.

I would loose my mind if I saw those plushies in a Crane Game somewhere. I'd probably go broke to get them too.

[piroteki]

i was going to say that plushie making is not that uncommon in various fandoms, so i wouldn't be surprised if some Daft fan made one as well.

it would be cool to see yours, Jo, even if it's WIP.

i WOULD break in! omg i would either do that, or have to be put in a mental institution for bowing down to the daft gods to please get me the plushies

[Lirpanator]

I think I saw Daft Plushies on DeviantArt somewhere... and I think I faved them too... lol I don't really remember...

[BobaFettuccini]

I would totally buy Thomas and Guy plushies for my collectibles shelf. My whole room needs some serious Daft-ization.

[niKa]

i'll made a home-made plushie of daft punk
my new teddy=Guy

[Daniel_Rider]

Pics?

[Medokin]

I've hade plans on making ones, and they are still in my head ;)

[Lady Luna]

Me too, Medokin. Guy-Man plushie. WANT. Call me a freak but I would sleep with the plushie next to my bed every night. If I went on vacation then I would bring it with me. I'm gonna try and make my own but my friends might get worried with my obsession when I bring it on the freshman class trip...

[upset_clown]

That would be nuts.......so nuts that it IS INFACT NIFTY!!!

Omg if i ever got one of those i would totally sleep with it too even if my mom did think i was compleatly retarded

[Jo_The_Marten]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the heads? The heads are the ONLY issue I have.

[digital*aria]

you can always try wrapping the fabric around a styrofoam ball and sewing it that way, then taking the ball out when youre done so you can stuff it..

idk. worked in my head.

[Jo_The_Marten]

Okay I finally got inspiration to work on my plushies again. I finished some HAA pants for Thomas and I'm also going to cut his current head off cause it is gross. I found a new method of making his head so I'm going with it. If all goes well expect me to start a Guy-Manuel plush too. For those who asked for pictures before:

The stuffing is from his ugly head. His new head is still under construction so it's not in the pic. I plan on putting a button on the pants because they're alittle wide around the waist.

[digital*aria]

hahahah i love his butt. just had to say that.

[Jo_The_Marten]

Actually that's his front. :P Unless you have X-ray vision, you can't see his butt.

[Boba_Fettuccini]

That's a pretty good start. What was this 'new method' you mentioned? Did you try the styrofoam?

[Jo_The_Marten]

Yup. I'm carving it out of styrafoam (This room is SO MESSY after the work I did last night) then I'm gonna put bondo on it to make it more stable, then I'll attach it to the body.

Edit: I just finished his jacket! But it still needs the zipper in the front and buttons. Then once I get that done, I'll put rhinestones on the back for "daft punk".

[Boba_Fettuccini]

Once you get it down pat, make more and sell them!

[Jo_The_Marten]

Nevar! I am so lazy I think I can only make one of a kind plushies. xD;

[Boba_Fettuccini]

:(

[tomatorama]

Careful using bondo on styrofoam, it might melt it :/

[Jo_The_Marten]

Really? Have any better suggestions?

[tomatorama]

It might be fine, but a bit of googling suggested it might not be a good idea- see mistake #1 here. You might be fine, but test it on a spare piece of styrofoam first... in school graphics a teacher recommended the wrong kind of glue once and it melted the students styrofoam model and I just thought "doy i thought you were supposed to be helping".

What are you trying to do with it, just harden the styrofoam so that it doesn't dent?

[Jo_The_Marten]

Yeah pretty much. I'd imagine the doll is gonna see rough times so a Styrofoam head isn't going to be the way to go, so I need a coating to make it more durable.

Also thanks for that tip, glad someone told me before I tried it.

[polylateral]

I've always wanted to make some Daft Punk plushies, but I don't know how to sew.
I guess my mom could teach me, and I could look up some stuff online.

Even if they come out really weird, I think it's worth a try.

[Jo_The_Marten]

By the way, I think this should probably be moved to "Fan Made".

[tomatorama]

By the way, I think this should probably be moved to "Fan Made".

I thought so too, even if it was originally asking about buying toys, it's def become a "fan made" topic now that we've established you can't buy them.

*Moved*

[Jo_The_Marten]

Okay I found something even better (not really but I can actually find it at stores for a cheaper price). It's called Mod Podge. :) It can be found around $5 so that helps me out a lot.

[Pants3000]

Mod Podge fixes everything.
