I took the great personal risk of being banned just to try to make you laugh 
Also positive you have a fantastic sense of humor!
Also, IMHO, you should be able to roll these things up like the old "Popples" from the 80s...
+ Show Spoiler +
...so you could roll them around!!
...but they are totally sweet as they are anyways

It would be much cheaper to order them from a Third World country, I am sure....

Whoa, just noticed one of them has spikes, he must be like the leader gremlin.

That's true, but they're not made in a third world country, the OP makes them herself.
Anyway, they're so cuuuuuuuute~

Thank you Box.N.Straw!! <3 <3
I know the price is not Wal-mart prices, but I do hand make them and each one takes about 6+ hours. So calculating in material cost, that's about $10 an hour, possibly a little less. Maybe I'll try and make a smaller less fancy version, that i can pump out in an hour or 2. (that's what she said)

My wife knits things... and co-workers just SWOON over them. They want to know "oh that is so cute, how much for one?"
They are always shocked that the answer is between 40-60 dollars, and that is being pretty cheap on time. (Considering at work she makes $20+ an hour). Though she enjoys the knitting... she can turn out some gloves or a beanie hat in a weekend... with materials and time its always over 20$.
Bar none, people seem practically offended by the prices... "I can buy one at walmarf for $4.99!!!." Sure, go ahead then... and be sure to promptly complain that there are no jobs in this country and that we don't earn enough in wages.
I really just wonder what they expect to hear as far as price...

cursor: The demand is really high right now because there is no competition. And frankly, if a few more ppl start making these, the demand probably will still be pretty high (in the $30-50 range). Honestly, if you make these for any gaming niche ... and post in their forums about it ... you should be able to command a $50 price tag. So if your wife has the time ... I say go for it.
And also, ppl will want to buy the one that looks better/is cuter ... so more competition is good =) (except for the OP).

If they take that long to make then I don't mind the price. As someone else said record the whole process and then play it in fast forward and post the video sped up. And they are cute.

Omg! These pictures are so cute. I wonder if the one I got way back from that other thread is in them. His name is Emilio and he is my little gentleman, btw. The little guy had a bit of trouble standing at first--which was adorable--but he's fine now. Every morning, I see him waiting by my bedroom window to greet me. He really makes my day.
Any chance that you're still planning on making other Zerg plushies? My friends and I can't get over how cute and funny these things are. Emilio too would really like an infestor or hydra companion. A corruptor or ultra would be equally acceptable.
But I absolutely love :3anelings.

almost makes the marine death by baneling animation less horrific 
|
They are so cute. :3
Too bad that the shipping is so expensive.
|
oh my GOD they are so cute, I want one!!
|
is there any way to still get these?
|
Not really trying to necro bump this, but... I just have to post here.
If you plan on selling these again any time soon, I'll totally buy one. Or two. Or ten.

Dog ate the pair I adopted.
