Imagine how you might feel if your wildest and most wonderful fantasies were brought to life. That’s probably how a child would feel if their drawings of strange and wondrous characters were turned into real-life plush toys, which is exactly what Budsies does.
Budsies takes children’s drawings and reinterprets them as 16-inch-tall hypoallergenic plush toys – but they’ll take playful adults’ drawings, too.
NO DON’T GIVE THIS TO TUMBLR USERS THIS IS A GRAVE MISTAKE
CAN PEOPLE OF ALL AGES DO THIS
BECAUSE IMAGINE IF AN ARTIST WANTED A PLUSH OF THEIR OC
You can also make a plush out of a selfie/picture.
Budsies are introducing Petsies soon. To decide who the first 100 people to get Petsies, Budsies will be holding a raffle. Raffle tickets are free and winners are random. Petsies regularly cost $199, but the first 100 raffle winners can order their Petsies for $99 and the next 1,000 winners pay $149. The first 100 winners announced March 15th. Additional batches of winners will be announced weekly thereafter.
This is my 4-year-old son cosplaying as Mettaton Ex from the game Undertale.
Mettaton is his all-time favorite character. He loved walking around the con and striking his signature pose for the legions of MTT fans desperate for a photo of their favorite star. 😉
His armor and belt buckle are made of 2mm foam, all pieces attached with velcro for convenience, comfort, and adjust-ability of size. The sleeves and belt are made from Yaya Han 4-way Metallic fabric, which is AMAZING. The sleeves are detachable for comfort (trying to keep the costume cool since he’s so young and most cons here are in the middle of the summer.) and the belt has long strips of velcro so it will adjust as he grows. Obviously his hair is the wrong color – he wouldn’t tolerate a wig and we decided against hair dye.
The under garments for the costume are a black tank top and black capri leggings – again, more concerned with his comfort and ability to beat the heat than anything else. Very important factors when designing a costume for someone with limited communication skills! If you’re not positive that they can inform you of the symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, make sure that you plan for their comfort and keep them cool and hydrated!
I am the photographer and creator/finder of all aspects of his costume, including the cosplayer himself, though I always ask his permission before taking or sharing photos of him. Toby Fox is the creator of the character.
Monsters University is the single most inspirational film ever, they failed, they got kicked out, they flunked everything and they still got there in the end.
There’s isn’t ‘one path’ no ‘right’ way, there’s many possible paths, sure some of them are quicker but it doesn’t mean you’re any less than anyone else, all it shows is you’re determined, dedicated and willing to work hard for what you want.
You just have to be brave enough to take that first step and keep putting one foot in front of the other even if you can’t see your destination doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Keep going, believe in yourself. You can do it.
Here’s to all my boys with love handles, stretch marks, ribs that show, who feel they are too big or too small, who feel “unmanly,” who have cellulite, who can’t grow facial hair, who can’t seem to gain weight or lose it, who feel “too short” or wish they looked like a male model. Y’all matter. Love you. 💕
