I know I promised that I would be making XIII-2 weapons (lol technically this guy is a weapon), but this opportunity just came up out of nowhere!

My friends were having a make-your-own weapon pillow fight and I also saw :iconyuuri-k-sama: made a Mog of her own. I also found this tutorial on making a 3D plush [link] , and I had extra foam cushion lying around. pretty much the stars aligned on this one... it did take me a whole night to finish this since I had to make a plush form and pin the fabric down everywhere. All my friends finished their work when I just finished cutting out the pattern xD

It was my first time using a sewing machine for myself, but since it is mechanical it was a fast learning curve for me and I felt pro after a few hours. Obviously since it was my first time sewing by machine and making a plush I messed up on the pattern a little, but it can be easily fixed when I have the time. I feel so much more familiar with the sewing machine that I am confident I can fully make my own cosplays now! Anyways, to make up for the flaws I stuffed this little treasure hunter silly so it is ridiculously huggable!

I am still not done with this guy because I just had this ridiculously awesome idea (thanks to :iconyuuri-k-sama:) that I wanted to try, but I need to dig into my junk pile for a while. Also many thanks to all my friends for creating/hosting a DIY weapons pillow bloodshed.

I am also afraid this plush will get dirty so should I make a thick acrylic seal over the whole thing? Should I make another one to auction at Katsucon? I would like to know your opinion on this!

i couldnt find it in walmart... i have this pillow with the perfect squishy material but i cant use it, the pillow costs $100. where did you get this cushion foam?
also, what did you use to cover the cushion? how did you make the shape?

i basically cut the cushion foam with a box cutter and ripped small pieces off with my hands. the cushion foam is only a squishy base on which i can pin and trace out the plushie to stuff with something else later

if you cant find a cushion foam online then you should try to looking for places where they toss out furnitures

What exactly did you use to make it light up? And what were the procedures?

i broke apart a very strong led (200 lumens, lights up a whole room) and connected it to a usb port(emergency iphone charger), it is unstable and hot because i made it with a very high current to make it bright, the battery power is from a zipper pocket behind his head and the black wire is a bendable laptop usb lamp wire
