My boyfriend spent all afternoon playing sonic the hedgehog, which inspired me to make this treasury! I love sonic, but unfortunately, I totally suck at playing it. Anyway, click on the picture to visit the treasury!

Plushie Mega Drive Console
oh man! THAT is a geek craft right there!
Donna Evans shared this supremely geeky creation on the Sprite Stitch boards, a 100% plushie mega drive console (oh and a genesis controller for all you Americans out there!) with removable Sonic the Hedgehog 2 cartridge.
My favourite bits? the cord… the way it’s all cordy, the ingenious use of velcro to secure the game cartridge, and strangely the use of iron on transfers… I don’t usually like iron on transfers, they feel like a cop out, but for this they completely work! they give a complete finished look to the piece.
I just want to squish it SO BAD!!
Also Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was my favourite game on the Mega Drive… because my older brother could play as Sonic on 1 player mode and I could just pick up the second controller and play as Tails, but in 1 player mode Tails couldn’t die. I loved this. And for a child with an urge to play computer games, but an intense fear of ‘dying’ in them it was the best of both worlds.
EDIT: this plushie console is for SALE! see Tavington’s DeviantArt for details
