Hi!
I kina have a unique craft that I do, it's crocheted Anime dolls! I am trying to figure out how I want to sell them and I think the best way would be to get peoples orders for them before the convention starts and then sell them to you at the con, cause really, who can afford a $140 table! I would have to sell over 60 dolls to just make back enough to cover table costs! Anyways, I dont know if I can post pictures here, and I dont currently have an internet site yet (going to buy my own server and use linux) so I dont have anything to show you. But within the next two weeks I hope I can finish up a few anime dolls, get a photo bucket site and post some so you guys can see what I mean. If anybody has any advice, etc. please post! Also, if you want to make an order beforeI even have pictures posted, please IM them to me so I can keep them straight.
Prices of the dolls and such hasnt been decided completely, I still need to ask my Salem anime group what they think of them.
Anyways, thanks!

could you make j-rock dolls? <3
-
For me, it would depend on which characters you had, how much they were, and how well they were made.
-
Hmm.. maybe I'm not understanding some things, but is there any specific reason that you couldn't use an artist's alley table to sell these? They would most obviously be your own original work and we all know that art comes in more forms than the drawn/painted variety...
Anyways, to answer your question: it would depend. If they're really cute and not super expensive then I would probably buy one. :) I remember when I was a baby my grandma crocheted me some care bears and they were way cute and lasted forever.
Hmm... one of With from DNAngel would be pretty cute... ;)
-
Maetel-I don't know, I cross stich the faces on, so I could try, but maybe you should see what they look like first!
I haven't decided on aprice yet, maybe somwhere from $10-15? I want to see what other people think (like people who might buy them) So I am gonna take some to my anime club, but I don't have enough ready yet.
Irongs-An Artist alley table might work, how do those sorts of things work? Is it in the dealers room or the art room? Where were they last year? I can do pretty much any anime charater. I plan to have some at next months meeting. I want to see what everyone there would think.
Anyways, thanks for your opinions/suggestions!

Hi!
I just looked up about the tables, and yeah! It would work! I guess I was just a little confused! Anywho, I got a photobucket page and I will have pictures up shortly!
Bunny_Mae
-
Yeah, i'd have to see the pictures before making such a decission. Definantly wanna see quality before I decide to spend money.
-
Actually, if anybody wants to start just posting what anime dolls they would be interested in, then I could get an idea of what everyone wants, you know? I was looking at what people where going to cosplay as, but as I noticed last year, not a whole lot of people bought characters from what they were cosplaying as. So I really dont know what people would want.

Man-Faye Dolls! Complete with hair!
Umm... Maybe not.
-
how about some totoro creatures? all the totoro stuffed animals that i've seen were really spendy so if it looks good for about 10 bucks.....
-
Man-Faye Dolls! Complete with hair!
Umm... Maybe not.
You really ARE evil, Sean. :(
Umm, I'd probably by a Puchuu from Excel Saga.
Puchuu's rock. :D
-
For me, it would depend on which characters you had, how much they were, and how well they were made.
-
Oh, yeah.. that's a pretty reasonable price. I was thinking expensive as like around $40+ (I remember my grandma sold her stuff for like $30)...
-

Sean didn't I say I would help you make those? :twisted:
-
QEvil- Man-Faye 0_o...ewww....I could try, but....ewww...
SuperJaz-Totoro creatures could happen, they would be fun to make too!
Dsutin-Puchuu's would also work..but if you and Dash were gonna make one...I wouldn't want Dash to be mad at you!!
Irongs- At actual craft fairs where people(mostly elderly ladies) sell their crocheted crafts they do charge like $40+ for everything! But, as being a con go'er and an anime fan myself, I know not a lot of teenagers have a lot of money for anime dolls! Besides, $15 would cover material and labor costs plus some, so it works for me! :wink:
Everybody else, pictures will be up in the next two weeks! (I really shouldn't have posted anything till I got some ready, but oh well! :))
Bunny
-
Irongs- that was suppose to be anime fans DONT have lots ot money.. so yeah. :)
Bunny_Mae
-
heh, I always make sure I have plenty of money when I go to cons (think I budgeted around 300-400 for swag/food stuff last Kumori). It just isn't the same without it. ;)
-
ooooo i con't wait to see the pictures to get an idea
-
I'd like to see some pics.
Usually at the cons I plan to take at least 200$ with, found out at the first Kumori that take only 50$ isn't nearly enough.
XD hey, if you're gonna get a table at Kumori 05, maybe I could split it with you and pay half the cost and I could sell my hats there,, I;unno. I might not sell anything for a few more years.
-
Yukimizu- If you want to share a table that would be great! But like Irongs said, I could use the Artist Alley tables since they are for artists to sell their creations and it only costs $25 for them and I think they are fairly small tables.
But does anybody know if you have to man the artist alley tables? I know last year the only person that had an 'artist alley' item was Druid, whom was selling prints of her pictures, and they pretty much watched her stuff for her in the seperate room. But will somone be watching the tables this year? Or are we suppose to sit with them? If people want to buy certain ones from me it would be easier if I maned the booth so I could save certain ones for certain people and not sell away the ones they wanted, you know?
Actually if you split up the money me and my two siblings had together we both had less than twenty bucks for spending on swag, the rest was for gas and food. Hopefully this year will be different.
Bunny
-
I am pretty interested in seeing these!
You can for sure bring them to the LANime parties and sell them there. Our last one had a much larger turn out (30+ people).
-
I will deffinatly bring some to next months meeting. I will probably only have a handfull then, but it would be awesome if I could sell them there too. What I am gonna do is take peoples orders and then make the doll. I really dont know what anybody wants so if they order one it will be easier for me. I just have to find time between studying and my real job to make them!! :shock:
Bunny
-
you know what... if you make a teto(Nausicaa) doll that only cost 15-20 dollars I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER! (no sexual conotation involved) what im saying is... Im Poor! i had $40 for Kumoricon 04 and i was drooling over the 50-60 dollar teto plushies in the dealer room. T.T i couldnt even have a teto for my beautiful Nausicaa constume (lol) any ways... yeah i would totally buy a teto. and... if your other characters were cool too (and i actually have money) i would so buy those to... but i reserve my vote for when pics arrive (and i cant wait till they do!) they sound really cool. if you have any FB characters also... those would rock... maybe a Van from escaflowne (with wings ((drool)) ^.^")
lol... call these suggestions... lol. i think it rocks simply that your willing to sell these for a cheap enough price that we teens who have no money can buy them aswell.
(im gunna include a picture of teto... just in case)

On a far simpler note, would it be possible to make a Datirimon doll?
http://www.digibros.net/~digipedia/encyc/images/datirimon.jpg that's Datirimon.
-
Daystar- For my dolls I have a base shape, a little circle on top and a bigger circle on the bottem. Kina like a snowman, but only with two. So a teto and other creatures that walk on all four (like Kirara from Inu Yasha) would be possible if I can find another recipie or invent one. I can try, thats all I can say now. Or if you wanted one that looked like it was sitting on its but with its paws infront, that would be possible. But yeah, wait till I have them up and then you can see. I have been trying to figure out how to do Kodama too.
Black Jack- Oh my gosh!!! Datirimon's are soooo cute! I deffinatly can do one of these! Are they a digimon? It looks kina familiar.
Bunny
-
Yeah, Dati's from the last episode of season two (Oikawa's partner...and thereby only had about thirty seconds of screen time).
I *heart* Datirimon. I made a rough doll one, but mom put it in the washer--not a good idea when said doll is stuffed with cotton balls.
You know, since it's obviously based on a tomato, would it be possible to have this made with a smooth 'skin' rather than a plush one? Although if you can't do that, that's fine.

OMG I remember that episode, I was SOO crying at that.
It was so sad. I very rarely cry watching anime, but, man, that hit the heart good.
He was so happy to have a partner. :D
EDIT:
Yeah, I mentioned a Puchuu, from Excel Saga, here is an image:

Not to good an image (its an avatar I use on another forum actually), I can try to find a better image, but I have some malware stopping my google searches (sigh).
-
Oh man, I was *bawling* at that scene...
Anyway, Bunny, how much would Dati cost to make?
-
Black Jack- I don't know what you mean by smooth skin... Have you even seen something crocheted? Or even knitted (go to the psi controller sweaters in the general disscusion forum, it has pictures of knitted), but unless I made it out of felt like the normal anime dolls they sell. But my specialty is crocheted. So...I dont know about that. Since Daritimon is a little smaller he would probably be only $10. Let my get my other pictures up adn then I will rough out a pattern and try a datirimon for you!
Dustin- I have a bigger picture of puchuu's I found on google. (this is where I would go na na google works for me, but I am in tears because of you lose, google is not something anyone should have to live without!). They will be fairly easy, I should have a picture of them up about the times that the others are up.
Anyways, my sewing maching has been on the brinking of dying since... well i think since my mom got it for a wedding present! But I am suppose to get a new one for my combined graduations from a two year college and a four year college from my parents. First we have to go look at some that a friend of my dad's has.
Black Jakc- you sew, right? You were doing the how to make costumes thing at last years con right? Do you have any suggestions for sewing machines?
Thanks!
Bunny
-
Oh, I missed that it's crocheted...But that's fine! Yeah, I'd love one!
And no, I really can't make a costume. I hired people to do my costumes...So really I wouldn't know anything about sewing machines.

My wife made a number of anime plush-type critters and had no problems or negative comments for selling them at the art show last time. She made various Pokute's (Hale nochi Guu) and also a pair of Hoshimaru's (Narutaru) a pink Nomad (Galaxy Angels) a small Bunta-kun (FMP-Fumoffu) the goat toy from Last Exile, and several others chibi things which, since NO ONE ransomed them, met their deserved demise HERE:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=41471
She also made a quilt with Kirara (Inu Yasha, NOT Samurai 7.)
So yeah, your critter creations ought to be MORE than welcome!

I'm all for a Red Riding Hood doll.
/me glomps all Jin-Roh references
-
I would so buy a J-rock one from you! :D
-
at the risk of sounding obsesive compulsive could you make a G.I.R. one?, or a unico one :shock:
-
Ok! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I have been busy with midterms, sponge painting my room, work, and the dolls!
Guest (whoever you are)- At this very moment I am downloading your wifes dolls. Thank you for the input though! It is nice to know that they are sellable (is that a word? O_o) I think i might have seen the dolls she made, but I dont remember...I do remember, however, the Kirara quilt, which was awesome!
Princess Frodo- I was googling Jin-Roh and Red Riding Hood, but I only found one picture, of a guy. It would be helpful if you could post a picture or a link to a picture, so I could get a visual.
Kaoru- J-rock would probably be possible like I said before, but wait till you see 'em (which should be soon *crosses fingers*, i hope!)
Super Jaz- A unico would be possible if I can find another pattern, or I have an idea to manipulate the pattern I have now, but let me finish the few I have started and then I will attempt to make a four-legged creature. ~_o As for G.I.R., I googled that and I got a little robot creature and a little green dog with a zipper, which is it? Or is it something completely different?
Well, thats it for now folks, hopefully I wont go anywhere this weekend like last week and I will be able to devote part of the afternoons to the dolls and possible have them up before next month *crosses fingers again*. Laters!

Guest (whoever you are)
It's Guy (this time.) As you know personal choice is to not "do" cookies or "log ins." To me anime is a hobby, and as such I feel that participating and having fun need not be SO intrusive as to 'register' its enthusiasts. Acquiring live ammo for your 30mm Bofors gun, and a safe place to store it, now THAT takes some degree of registration, with fingerprint cards to boot, etc, which is all rather understandable. But for anime, we can just all be friends without tracking down each others' IP addresses, sessions, etc. Just relax & have fun. (</soapbox.>)
At this very moment I am downloading your wife's dolls.
Can they fit through the Internet?
"BLEACH" Spoiler follows!
[STOP READING NOW OTHERWISE!]
We watched 'Bleach' Ep. #15 the other night. My wife thinks 'Kon' (the possessed lion plushie) is a riot and he gets ALL the abuse he deserves (Just like 'Nomad' in Galaxy Angels!) But anyway, in ep 15 someone who is a doll hobbyist** does him up like the doll in Rozen Maiden - OMG - we fell out of our chairs when that part came on! I am hoping she could make 'Kon' with his face in its enraged low-rez mode, as a craft sale item.

-
SuperJaz- Ok, I get it, I think. ^_^
Guest/Guy- I am sorry, I didn't mean to upset you! It's just confusing when I have never met the people with made up names and then guests are even more confusing to me, but 'guest' can be a name also! And I downloaded your wifes AMV but the other computer (the one I am not on) dumped me and I am not sure if it had loaded and havent had the chance to check it!
Bunny
-
Hey Bunny could you possibly make a Kyuubi plushie??? hehehe Kyuubi rocks :)
-
Princess Frodo- I was googling Jin-Roh and Red Riding Hood, but I only found one picture, of a guy. It would be helpful if you could post a picture or a link to a picture, so I could get a visual.
Heh. I find it hillarious that I have a larger Jin-Roh image collection on my laptop than any single place on the net. ^.^; http://dan42.com/jinroh/e/images.html has a good collection of Jin-Roh images, Red Rding Hood is very easy to spot. (A chick wearing red, not armor. There are two in the movie, Nanami Agawa with short hair, Kei Amemiya with long hair.)
I'll have to go through my old files and find my cosplay pic for a good example. But, with all the different pics on that page you should get a really good idea on what Red Riding Hood is wearing. Not the traditional Red Riding Hood costume, I assure you. ^.^
-
Princess Frodo-Thank you for the link! Yes it would be possible, i found some good images that will help me greatly.
Kyuubi- I am a little confused. I have found several things that look simular, are called Kyuubi, and are from different shows. There is one from Naruto, one a girl made up that is called Kyuubi Byakko Ceries, and then there is Ninetails from Pokemon which Google thinks is named Kyuubi. :roll: So...which is it? I thought that maybe your profile would explain it to me but instead it says you are from the Valle of the Wind, which is from Nauusica. I read the first Naussica manga the other day and there wasnt a big, ninetailed, fox in it, so i am further confused. Please, enlighten me. :lol:
Bunny
P.S. progress is slow this weekend, I have a cold and did absolutly nothing but play the Sims 2 yesterday, so nothing is any further then Friday. Bleh. :x
-
I thought my avatar enlightened people
It's the Naruto Kyuubi
^_^;;
-
Thank you Kyuubi! I am sorry, google didn't give me very many pictures and I couldn't tell which it was. I have never seen nor read Naruto and about the only thing I know about it is that everyone loves to cosplay, it's new, and the characters are ninjas. I know, it's sad, but my siblings dont think it is cool and they buy the majority of manga that we read (I know, I am also cheap, but hey, arn't we all?).
Bunny :?
-
Hey Bunny, are you still planning on bringing some finished dolls to one or both of the Salem events?(Thursday's or Saturday's)
If you do we can get some pics of them and put them up here for peeps to see. :D
-
Guest/Guy- I am sorry, I didn't mean to upset you!
[Guy: ] Don't WORRY. You didn't upset me at all. I have an odd sense of humor and was just having FUN. (as I try to do anyways.) I hope -you- din't feel put off, then or now. Relax & enjoy the ride!
And I downloaded your wife/s AMV
:shock:? :shock:? :shock:? My WIFE made an AMV and didn't tell me? (Alternatively, you may have downloaded an AMV made by some other woman - having run last year's AMV competition I can assuredly state there is at least one local AMV editor who was -very- good ... )
- G
PS: and yes I have another couple of twisted AMVs in the cooker ...
-
Guy- So.....whoes AMV does the link lead too? I am slightly confused, but thats ok. ^_^
BUT! I have PICTURES!! They are up at my photo bucket site which you can access through the following link:
http://photobucket.com/albums/v231/bunny_mae/
I have a few dolls made up, including: Miroku from Inu Yasha, Tohru from Fruits Basket, With (the rabbit) from DNAngel, Chichiri from Fushigi Yugi, whom was the first doll I made and I no longer cross stich the eyes on, its markers or nothin' ~_^. And there is a picture of Bob, a new duck, who is just a duck dressed as a beavers fan, its a weird thing I came up with for my older brother for a surpise birthday present and people really seem to enjoy it! So there you go! If you were at Rarnom and Irong's Lanime party this saturday you have already seen them. If you wish to make an order please PM me and they are $15.00 a piece, I havent ever mailed one, but S&H would be added to the price if I had to mail it, or you could always meet me at an anime event hosted by Rarnom. Also I need you to include a picture or a link to a picture or just specify which outfit, name of person and show they are in. Thankies!
Bunny
-
Guy- So.....whose AMV does the link lead too?
If you mean THIS:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=41471
... then (not to brag) but "yours truly" made this one last year. I had seen 'Chibi Things tha Kill,**' and contrarian that I am, despite that there were a ton of folks who found it hilarious, it was the kind of thing that made my blood boil. Just my own reaction. I hated it. It was "wrong" but wrong to me in away that I couldn't just let it go.
[ ** http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=16649 ]
So I plotted and planned, and well, after months of federal paperwork, negotiations, suggestions, learning and consulting with professional folks in pyrotechnics and commercial blasting, PLUS county law enforcement, [MUCH gratefulness!] and networking with an arcane group of folks known as 'Class III weapons collectors,'
{{... yes there -WAS- someone within 25 miles or Portland who LEGALLY owns a 20mm Lahti very much like the one zipping by ("Maybe Next Time ...") ... I met a dealer who owned an original German MG42 (as seen in 'Jin Roh' and worth 10's of thousands now ...) hard to believe designs from the 1920's and 40's are still in field use, essentially unchanged ... }}
Anyway, I learned a LOT.
Then I analyzed -WHAT- characteristics elicit a nearly INSTANT dislike for a character (to me.)
Example: Smurfs.
Example: Barney.
Example: Jar-Jar Binks.
Example: The red spheroid (Haru?) in the latest Gundam. Even though I don't watch Gundam - I only say a few stills in a Newtype and I 'know' that thing is a TARGET.
And so forth. Now, this was after 9-11 so althought there are lots of anime characters I dislike, (don't worry, there are even more that I think are really COOL characters, too) I decided it would be prudent to AVOID any that were humanoid or of human form, so as not to be accused of encouraging or deomstrating any real-world form of violence or criminal activity. Same goes for playing with fun chemicals, some of which have lots of federal strings attached, others very little, and still others, they make a difference depending on what you're using it FOR. Example here is potassium-[censored.] You can buy this at Fred Meyers in the gardening department and use it as a [tree-product.] Or if you are a federally licensed low-explosives manufacturer, you can mix it with [other stuff] keep records of where the compound is, store it in an ATF-approved magazine .. ET CETERA, and then you can use this same stuff combined with other things you can get in the same store - as cannon powder. (Do _NOT_ break the law!)
So I thinned the list down to 11 'targets,' and slowly acquired them. I found someone by means of whom I could get to use a 'toy' whose ammo I could afford. For a day, at least. (Hint: 20mm = $35 for ONE shot.) My sweetie made chibis. She sold some, and the others left behind were on 'Death Row.' People even GAVE me some plushies when they heard what I was planning.
Then one fine day in May 2004, it all came together. Private land, notifications to local law enforcement, approvals for the interstate movement of the registered 'toy' taken care of months previously - and some of my closest friends, who had all researched and practiced with me on how to SAFELY set up use the ordinance we were able to get our hands on ...
... and it became an unforgettable memory ...
If you were at Rarnom and Irong's Lanime party this saturday ...
Sigh - I have training EVERY Saturday through JUNE. (sigh, again ...)
- G
-
Ooook, it is lovely to know how you blew up anime characters. :wink:
So for everyone else, what do you think about my dolls??????
-
So, I haven't had any postive feedback from anyone about my dolls. I was gonna just go, Ok, not-gonna-worry-about-it-never-make-another-one-again, but then I thought about it and really, no one wants to buy one right this minute and you guys already told me which ones you would be interested in buying. Soooo, I will have some at Kumoricon, I wont bug you any more and I will have a larger variety then you have suggested (some of the more popular shows and especially some of the really popular bishonen ~_^) and also the characters you guys have suggested, or as many as I can possibly make before then.
Ok! Thank you for everything!
Bunny
-
hehe, I thought they were cute. You should keep making them (good practice at the least, right?), then by the time the con rolls around and people have $$ and can see them in person you should have plenty. Also, don't be afraid to experiment with new designs/materials. I'd be really interested is seeing what you can come up with. Unfortunately my funds have been kinda strapped as of late (mainly for LAN party stuff heh - and that's the only week I actually see you lol), but we'll see what I can come up with...
-
you don't have to buy any, unless you want to. What other changes would you like to see? I like how I have done the hair with felt, but I always wanted to experiment with yarn hair or even crochet their outfits. I tried painting their faces on a sample piece of cloth and it didn't turn out very well......hmmmm what else should I try?
Bunny
-
you could always do a google or two to try and get some ideas. Hehe, yarn hair would be pretty cool... give your dolls dreads lol! You could even buy sacks of lose extension hair for them if you wanted (only like $4 bag too). It would be kinda tricky for some of the dolls, but if they were wearing a hat or had pig tails or something it wouldn't be too hard. Also, I noticed that you kinda drew on the faces of the ones I saw, have you tried cross stitching some of that on? I've seen it done well before, not sure if you've tried it, but it's an idea. It seems like the craft stores might also have like plastic eyes and such if you look, since I know there's lots of people out there that make dolls. :) Oh, you could maybe even make little wings for some of your dolls (would work well for characters that have them)... either feathered or fairy-ish ones would be cute... there's just a few ideas...
I would just look at what's been done, what works and doesn't, and take a good look at the characters you want to make. I'm sure you'd have fun trying things out. :)
ooh, you know what would be cool too? If you really want to try and make their clothes, make them so they come off and maybe have like different changes of clothes for your dolls for the characters that have alternate outfits. That would be pretty cool! :)
-
Yeah, I thought about the platic hair stuff, but I dont know. It would be hard to put in and make it look nice. For cross-stich faces, i tried but frankly, cross stich and I just don't go together. ^_^ My sister can do it really well but I think it goes along with drawing. I can copy the eyes, but thats about the extint of my artisit (in a drawing sence) ability. ~_^
The dolls I have made have removable clothes but they are complicated and you have to put them just so, so everything lines up. I am trying to figure out a way to make them better to remove and extra suits would be cool! Like a sailor moon with her school girl outfit and then her Sailor outfit complete with hair ornaments and hand wand (or whatever you would call it)!! I need to experiment more! My brother just got his 'graduation' present from my parents so now they know how much they want to spend on us and we are going to talk to a lady with about sewing machines spring break. So hopefully by the begining of next term I will have my new sewing machine up and running!!! Yeah!!! ^_^

Hehe, sounds cool! Have fun with it! I know that I've really appreciated my sewing machine ;)

i realllllllllllllllllllllly want a Kyuubi (naruto) plushie
-
Ok, ok! I haven't worked out the pattern for four legged creatures, but I have decided to take everyone's request, ideas, etc. and make a doll of that to sell at Kumoricon. I will also have many other characters and stuff at the con. And as Irong's suggested I am going to crochet clothes for some of the dolls, make yarn hair, and do other expiraments and sell all the different creatiosn adn styles. If you have any suggestions that you think I should try or you think would be cute, post please!

:) I can't wait to see what you come up with! GL!

YAY KYUUBI PLUSHIE....how much will they be :?

I think a naruto with fox ears & tail would be very cute.

I have a suggestion...
But I can't remember the girl's name. (I don't have the game)
What's the name of that one girl from "Phantom Brave"? She's the main girl, wears a dress, green hair, hangs out with Ash...

What's the name of that one girl from "Phantom Brave"? She's the main girl, wears a dress, green hair, hangs out with Ash...
That'd be Marona. She is adorable! I love that game so much... *goes off to play*

Kyuubi- They will probably be ten to fifteen dollars, probably more towards fifteen. The normal anime dolls that they sell at cons are sold for ten to twelve dollars and they are smaller than mine.
Kurimono- Does Naruto have fox ears and tail in the story, or do you just want him too?? O_O I know practicly nothing about Naruto so please forgive my ignorance. But seeing as how Naruto is extremely popular I plan to have at least one of every most important characters that there is in the series (ummm can anyone tell me who that would be?? ;^_^
Negima- Marona is sooo cute!! She is deffinatly possible, I will try my hardest to have her for Kumoricon!
Thank you for your suggestions!!!

No, he doesn't. there is Kyuubi verison, that mainly affects his eyes and gives him claws. the fox ears & tail is based on fanart(I think) as he does have a fox demon within him. I just think those picture were adorable though!! ^_^

Get ready for a long list (important characters vary from person to person):
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Neji, Hinata, Ino, Li, Shikamaru, Choji, Tenten, Haku, Kiba, Gai, Zabuza, Iruka
Negima- Marona is sooo cute!! She is deffinatly possible, I will try my hardest to have her for Kumoricon!
I'll be sure to check it out then. ^_^

Kurimono- ok i will try to find the Naruto fanart that has him with fox ears and tail. It will be fairly easy to incorporate ears and a tail.
Negima- wow thats a lot, i probably wont make one of each, but I will make as many as possible!

Just thought I should give you as many names as possible so you know just how many characters there are. (And there's more after that)
Good luck on the plushies. ^_^

My sweetie is making a TACHIKOMA PLUSHIE on her sewing machine .... !
She also got a few cardboard tube noisemakers (they make sheep/goat bleats when tipped sideways) and has made a Last Exile goat toy.
I suggested that since the shape is about right, she could insert one into the rear 'can' section of the Tachiikome, but that would be HIGHLY silly:
Take a Tachikoma, tip it over and it says "Bleee-AA-AA-AA-hhhh!"

( PS: You can also get them
in 'Moo,' 'Oink,' and other
barnyard noises. )

Negime- Please no more!!! ~_^ I am deffinatly going to try and read at least the first Naruto (if not more) before I start making them so I can get an idea of what the character should be like.
Guest- That sounds very cute!!! It would be niffty if it was possible to get custom made noise makers. For example you could have a super sailor moon that says "Super Make Up Power!!!" (If there is a super-duper fan of sailor moon reading this, please do not be offended, I have not watched sailor moon since I was little (cuase it isnt on normal, non-cable tv anymore) and I don't remember what she says exactually) when you tip her over. So cute!! They could say five different things depending on if you squeez a hand, a foot, or tip them up side down or give them a hug!! Tee hee!!

I would suggest also looking on the net for pictures of the characters. Some of the characters I listed don't appear until book 4 or so.

Hey Negima, what you think if they made negima dolls?

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ....
... How in the world did that not come to my mind? Talk about forgetting the obvious on my part...
Are Negima plushies a possibility? Maybe Negi, Asuna, or Evangelion?
-
Negima- Yes I do try to google them, but I want to at least get to know some of the naruto characters. And I think i am the only anime freak in the whole world that hasn't read naruto yet, so i think it is time. ~_^ Negima dolls are deffinatly possible, how about a list of the characters from negima that you would like to see and think that other people would like to buy. See if I make only dolls one person wants I would never sell them, because I don't think you want to buy thirty naruto dolls do you? ^_^ If you have a link to a good site with lots of negima and naruto pics that would also be very, very helpful! Thanks!

Naruto pics (http://narutocommunity.net/gallery/cat20.htm)
Came across one site that has a lot of Naruto pics.
I haven't really started on a Negima search yet.
As for which characters, I can't think of many except for Negima, Eva, or Asuna. I'm not sure how everyone else feels about the series.
-
Negima- thank you so much!! That helps a lot! Ok, about the negima pics and the characters.

Ok, ok! I haven't worked out the pattern for four legged creatures, . . .
My wife sold the Tachikoma thingie at Sakuracon. She did a lot of hand stitching for the four legs and the three other weird claw-like thins it has under the saucer section. Go ahead & write her an e-mail if you want some tips or hints.
It would be nifty if it was possible to get custom made noise makers. For example you could have a super sailor moon that says "Super Make Up Power!!!"
Neat New Topic:
OBNOXIOUS NOISEMAKER ANIME PLUSHIE THINGS:
1. Any typical girl combatant from boxing/fight games, especially a type where the ponytail in the back of the head looks like a bearded axe in profile. All it does is say "YaaaAAAAA!" "Iku-wa!" and "Urusanai-wa!" (And OK, that's 30% of the dialogue from 'Real Bout Highschool')
2. The guy from SCRYED who just says "HAMMER!!!" all the time.
3. Any K-drip. Actually, you could do this with a generic boy's body seated with its legs crossed and its hand cupped behind the head. The noise it makes is the well-known, weak simpering laugh when asked to make an actual decision - like which one of its harem it likes best. The neck is actually a screw-thread, to that the heads can be replaced even though the characters all sound the same. The kit comes with heads from 'Ah! My Goddess!,' 'Handmaid May,' and 'Love Hina.' The expansion head-set includes shounen-drips from 'Maburaho,' 'El Hazard,' and of course, Tenchi himself.
4. Miyaka and Tamahome: The noise makers only say "Miyaka!" / "Tamahome!" ad infinitum which is again, about 30% of the dialogue of THAT show ...
5. No wait - this one might be COOL: Xellos with his trademark "Sore wa himitsu dess!"
Any more?!?

G- don't know who your wife is, so I can;t really e-mail her... ;^_^
Thoes are funny, I think it is a good thing that it isn't possible though...thoes would be as annoying as the little bean bags that yell things when you hit them/drop them/throw them on the ground....
