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?!?
