Street Fighter Plushies
Craftster user danger0usangel03 made these Ryu and Sagat plushies for a friend who is attending a Street Fighter tournament. I want to attend a Guitar Hero tournament!
Jem Costume
I’m having a childhood flashback to Saturday morning cartoons and playing with Barbies thanks to Craftster user lancmaltby. She sewed a fabulous Jem (of Jem and the Holograms!) costume last year. I still want to be Jem!
Ron Weasley Doll
We are currently all Harry Potter all the time in our house. In the past couple of months, we’ve watched all five movies so we’d be ready for #6, and my little guy and I have been reading the first book, a chapter a night. Now he’s watching Potter Puppet Pals on YouTube, probably completely inappropriate, but very funny. Funny and awesome craftiness. But he just asked me the question I always love and dread at the same time – can I make him a Harry Potter puppet? Love because he thinks I can make anything and dread because half the time it’s beyond my crafting abilities. Any other crafty moms have that problem?
Anyway, all this to say that I took a spin through Etsy to see if anyone else is making Harry Potter puppets right now and found these very sweet dolls, including Ron Weasley, by GirlCalledRic. I love the little Gryffindor necktie! More Potter characters, Star Trek and some super heroes in her Etsy shop.
Knit Star Trek Meerkats
Edit: My bad! The Star Trek Meerkats are made by Heather Levers aka Nifty Knits. Alison Oddy was kind enough to submit the link.
Geek Craft reader Alison Oddy submitted these adorable (albeit a bit random – I love random), knit Star Trek meerkats that she sells at www.folksy.com. She’ll knit up your very own meerkats (choose from Captain Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Scotty and Bones) complete with uniforms, gold emblems and accessories. She says,
“Beam me up an order, and I will boldly knit!”
Like The Next Generation better? Alison also makes a Captain Picard meerkat.
5 Amigurumi Sackboys by causticmuse
I just came across this amazing crocheter (is that a word?) – Maggie Wang aka causticmuse – on Craftster. She has made a whole bunch of cool, very geeky amigurumi dolls based on Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet. I couldn’t pick a favorite as they’re all great, so here are five:
Level 80 Blood Elf from World of Warcraft
The Nameless One from Planescape: Torment
