SC Plushies for my store, what do you think?
Protoss Pillow! 30" (2.5 feet!)
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/B9ABZw8.jpg)
Overlord Pillow 15"
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/z8H9xgK.jpg)
I have the design for Broodlord, Pylon, Colossus and Tempest done though, those should be made within this month :3
Later on I am working on Supply Depot pillows, Overlord plush and a big Hydralisk 
Suggestions? Ideas?
I'd love your input guys
------------------------------------
Edit #1:
While I finish up the Broodlord and Colossus plushies, I thought I'd bridge the gap with 2 small projects, these are first draft, but I will add more details I hope. But so far its more for fun.
Oh! Also working on some Xmas stockings
Anyways, here's the a new CHIBI plushy :D A marine will be coming soon too. Let me know what you think
Oh and a DT, Im also working on a CHIBI DT
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kWhTTEC.jpg)
--------------------------------------
Edit #2:
Phoenix price lowered by $10.
Also, if anyone wants a Broodlord, the first photos of the completed project will be posted on FB within a week. It is almost done. I rather love how it came out, only thing that needs work right now is the mouth.
And any future ideas will be appreciated, at the moment I see that people want Dragoons, Immortals and Banelings.
So I will focus on those while the Colossus gets completed
Thank you
------------------------------------
Edit #3:
Sneak peak and pre-order info for Broodlord available now
Here is the sneak peak
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kh0HatN.jpg)
*Preorder update: Had no interest for it, so I will shelve it for now and work on a smaller version of it.
If you are interested shoot me a message.
--------------------------------------
Edit #4:
Baneling and Zerg egg will come soon :3
Also:
Zergy Pillow
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/mnsxUeO.jpg)
and
Zergy Glass :3

Look how it looks like actual organic creep against the light XD

Edit #5:
New trio XD
I just think the etched glasses are too generic, I like color on my drinkware XD
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/C5d9Z6z.jpg)

Finally a Baneling. This photo was of the first one. The new one looks much fatter and better
Eyes GLOW IN THE DARK!

Looking good! Is that first one a drone?
edit -second one, was switched?
edit 2 - nvm.

An infestor with infested marines inside! also these are awesome
|
Carbot's Zergling from StarCrafts... do it
|
First one is a Phoenix. Sorry I got the links switched 
I suppose a big infestor with a couple small marines inside is doable. That's a fun and interactive idea :D

I've seen Carbot's Zergling done before. I haven't done it because I don't know how good Carbot is about other people selling his designs XD But it's quite simple, I should huh? :D
Challenge accepted :3

I do have plans to make carriers with little interceptors but that'd happen mid year if I am lucky. Carriers are capital ships and they deserve detail and care in making them.

Side view
I think I have to perfect it though :3

Zerg eggs pillows would be cool
Big River or infestor pillow
and a Dark Shrine as it has similar shape to pylon

I think he should trademark it if it's not already done, he should be able to make quite a lot of money with those plushies/pillows/general merchandise

Zerg eggs and Dark Shrine sound amazing :3 I shall do the sketches!
Colossus goes first though, I just think it will look great XD As soon as I figure the leg structure.
Keep an eye on our FB page I always update progress there :D

For sure, they are adorable, but I dont think he can trademark them because they are based on the SC designs which are trademarked already including its likeness. Blizzard is just smart and doesnt go after people who make stuff they dont.
I mean it's free advertisement. XD

These are awesome. The Phoenix is on point, and the overlord is cute. Your doing a good job. Cant wait to see the Tempest.
|
These are awesome. Baneling plushies are the best :3
|
I would buy these any day, but if you did an Infestor one I would love you forever.
|
Super talent! Keep it up!
|
Good job. Can you try to make a dragoon too? ))
|
Wow, amazingly talented you are at this! =D I'd love, like many others, a baneling one though. <3

Thank you so much The Tempest I think will come after I make the Colossus and Broodlord. I think it will look great and I will add a plushy "orb of energy" in the middle :D

I've seen them done before, but I think I can make something great regarding Banelings :3
I'm trying to do units that people haven't attempted, but if people want banelings I'd do them :D Specially for HotS with their Campaign upgrade XD

2 people already have and am in the process of making them :3 They are always challenging :D
I may do an infestor soon I love it. Prob my fav unit after Hydras. I think I'd add the little Neural Parasite tentacle too

Oh the Dragoon? I missed an o. Sorry.
Yep, I can probably do one of those. I need to find good reference photos of them though, the bottom part is tricky i think.
But I can

Make a plushie gauss rifle. That would probably sell well because kids could pretend to shoot each other with them and then use them as a pillow afterwards.

I want that overlord pillow! and a pylon pillow maybe

That is a great idea acually. Also really good for cosplay. I suppose the problem plushie wise is that it wont feel as sturdy as one made out of cardboard or aluminum. But I could do one and see how it fares
I want that overlord pillow! and a pylon pillow maybe
I do sell both of these
A pylon plushie or pillow?
A plushie I will make soon, I need the right shade of blue and to make it so it can stand.
A pillow would probably be more 2-D looking like the Overlord :3
|
supply depot pillow is really awesome idea

It'd be really awesome if they could somehow make it like one of those things you can turn inside out. But still retain the right colors and such.

Hehe thank you!
Im thinking one side would be the "Raised" design.
The bottom one would be the "lowered" design XD
|
Maybe not a plushie but an infestor bag carrying infested terrans would be awesome :D
Also, would be great to see Starcrafts zergling http://www.swagling.com/gallery-2 but would most likely need permission from owner.

That seems more doable :D I will see what I can come up with :3
Yeah, alot of people already have done them, and I could, but I don't wanna sell them. I think Carbot will sell their own soon though.
Holy crap, amazing.
Thank you! :D :D

Thanks. If you need anymore great ideas just ask me lol.
Also what could work well is if you used a sort of semi-solid piece of foam inside the gauss rifle instead of plush stuff. You'd want it to be soft enough that kids could still hit each other with them, but solid enough that the gun barrel doesn't droop when it's being held.

I like the Phoenix one, nice work!

I actually just got foam for a cosplay request, so that could work I'll see what I can come up with with the left overs :D
Great idea though. I'd say a couple of psionic Protoss blades would be good too? XD
I like the Phoenix one, nice work!
Thank you very much!
I think the Tempest will look similar but cooler XD
|
PHOENIX SO CUTE :D. I think people give the observer too little love , I think that or a void ray would make a kickass plushie.

When the WoL beta came out I loooved the observer portrait, I hate they took that out. But I concur. I think I can make a rather cute plush of the observer I mean it saves us 'Toss from DTs, Ghosts and Infestors, they deserve love.
The VoidRay I do have a sketch, but I want it to have something as its beam, so Im looking for the right material to use as beams
Like opening it and having a beam come out or something XD
And thank you for the compliment! :D I try ;3

I like these, will follow your FB page, and likely buy one eventually

Second one looks way more like a drone than an ovie to me, must be the claws. I like the designs on the phoenix wings, so cool, I want me a cuddly phoenix.

Hmm I suppose it does. I wanted to make the tentacles, but I decided it would serve best as a normal pillow rather than having parts attached. That way the actual future overlord pillow will be uniquely separate.
Thank you! The design of the wings took abit of time. Messed up the top fins, but they came out great anyways XD
Hope you get one someday soon ;3

Is it possible I could order one of these? if so how much do they cost? I love them, they look awesome :3

Amazing job, I would love to see a Banshee or Carrier

Somehow, Zerg simply make better plushies. Except for probes, of course. Probes are too cute.

Oh wow I leave to play some SC2 and I come back to things to reply to :D
Let me reply to you in order:
Is it possible I could order one of these? if so how much do they cost? I love them, they look awesome :3
Yep you can If you go to our FB shop page: http://www.facebook.com/azzysplushyshop you can find the link to our Etsy shop there where you can order it It IS relatively big and VERY comfy. Trust me.
I send people to the FB page because it's good to like it since I have so many plans for SC, as I said before, my idea is to plushiefy every unit in SC. I love SC. So it's good to keep up XD
Amazing job, I would love to see a Banshee or Carrier
Thank you! I do have plans for a carrier, but as I said before Colossus, Tempest and Broodlord have to go first.
I just have a set concept for those and want them to be carried out.
However I do have concept sketches for carriers, so they WILL be made Probably with companion interceptors
Banshee's (and Terran in general) are usually not my focus, but I do have plans for them. I think I can make a cute banshee However, regarding terran I really want to do the SUpply Depot pillow and the Widow Mine plushy before the banshee Still, it will be done, so follow us on FB to get updates XD
Concur, Carrier would be pretty stinking great.
Thank you so much Read above XD
That overlord pillow is so awesome!!!!
Thank you very much!! :D I will make an overlord plushy in the near future too :3
that is really awesome, I love the pheonix... even though I hate when I see a flock of them coming to my main and im not prepared :-P
I hate that too, but I mean, if you see the Phoenix upclose, its just a masterpiece XD
Thank you so much for the compliment! :D

Wait till you see the Broodlord I'm working on :3
But yes, Zerg make better plushies, I think they are more "Animal" as we are used to seeing so we can make them cute based on similar faces (like the :3 face) that can be added to them. Protoss is way too majestic and Terran seems too MegaBlocks. But they all can be made adorable if you know how to manage them XD
I do want to make a probe (plushy mineral/gas included). I will someday soon.
Stay updated
I second that, would totally buy a Probe!
Thank you! Read above It will be done soon.
love your work man.
Thank you very much! It means alot :3
A reaver pillow would probably sell well and actually double as a nice pillow.
Reaver huh? I got asked if I can make a Dragoon too. I am glad people still have love for our lost SC1 units XD
A Reaver would be very fun to make. It's belly would make for an amazing pillow too XD
I havent really thought it, but I'll make sketches to see how it can be made. Maybe Ill push that one up along the line of production XD

I am really looking forward to the pylon. Seems like the perfect thing to be made into a plush.
I like the overlord pillow more than the phoenix plush just because of the OL-pillows simplicity.

Wooow, these are just amazing good work on making them :D :D
If I was to ask for a plush it would have to be an SCV or a Baneling :D

incredibly well done! I absolutely love the phoenix one! also, a swarm host a muta or a Brood lord would be really funny, especially a Broodlord^^
I would def pay for something like this.

Tank pillow?
I was waiting for someone to ask XD
I do have plans for that one, but I want to make it sort of so it can be changed from siege to normal mode. Abit complex, but I am working in it for sure! :D
A dragoon would be so awesome!
Alright this is the 3rd time I get asked about a Dragoon, so that does it. I'm gnna make it for sure XD
Never thought Dragoons would get so much love I will work on it. Concept art is kinda hard, specially official ones. But I'll do what I can to recreate it :3
Fenix deserves the honor XD

The Pylon should look cute :3 Smallish too so it won't be as expensive as the Phoenix, unless you want it giant sized XD
Haha thank you. The Overlord was made simplistic so as to not overlap the future OL plush. Also it seems better to sleep on XD
Wooow, these are just amazing good work on making them :D :D
If I was to ask for a plush it would have to be an SCV or a Baneling :D

I do have plans to make an SCV or a Mule.
Banelings I havent made them because someone already made a cute baneling version. Mine would be different and more towards the game unit. XD But I will work on it :3
incredibly well done! I absolutely love the phoenix one! also, a swarm host a muta or a Brood lord would be really funny, especially a Broodlord^^
Thank you!! :D I will make a Broodlord withint the next month or so Colossus and Broodlords are my most immediate project, design is pretty much done and Im getting the fabric now :3
Swarm Host will get a plushy too but in the near future. I want to get it right XD
I would def pay for something like this.
Aww thank you! Like someone said, you can find it on etsy, but Id suggest you follow us on FB: http://www.facebook.com/azzysplushyshop To get updates and a link to our shop XD

I just believe people keep wanting plushies and Blizzard only really please WoW players.
So it is unfair to keep the SC community deprived of plushies. They have the money to make them but dont.
Yet some of us SC players barely have money and manage to do them, so if people are interested I think its fair to share the plushy love.
|
So close to ordering the phoenix, but I don't really have a connection with toss. I play zerg, and I like terran too...not so much toss.
I'll order immediately once you have some more cool zerg/terran stuff, the overlord isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Something the size of the phoenix would be awesome, I love that it's so big.
All your plushies look damn amazing, btw :D
|
Ordered both of them ! Amazing work ! I'm absolutely ready for more of these plushes !
Thank you.

Hmm save up then XD
Although the orders keep me afloat and allow me to do more units.
I AM doing a Colossus and a Broodlord. Designs are pretty much done. So I am working on the pattern and getting the fabric. So you should be able to see a Broodlord and Colossus around the shop very soon :3
Terran might take abit longer. But I'll try to focus on at least one Terran because I havent given them any love XD

I do expect to do 2 more very soon (Colossus and Broodlord)

Broodlord is an immediate buy when it's ready, if it's around the same price as the phoenix Gogo! :D

Price should be the same.
Only 2 that are currently planned to be higher are Hydralisk and Mutalisk. Because of the complexity in the plush. But those are abit farther ahead XD

Just one thing, and Im sad to say it, if you mean as a gift for the 14th of Feb. then I'm not sure it can get there on time.
This is due to the fact that its international mail, and even though the US and Canada are neighboring countries it takes longer than domestic. It also has to be made but honestly if its a rush order I can rush that particular pillow soon.
The problem is the mailing time. 
But I am willing to give it a try if you do want to try it, I just can't guarantee the delivery date being the 14th.

How about Sarah Kerrigan plush or Nova plush ? it would be perfect for Terran lovers

Ah that's actually something I havent considered, I've been more focused on unit plushies.
Hmm I do want to make a Zealot and a Marine small "doll" plush.
(Actual plushes will be done later)
So depending on how those come out I'd prob do a Nova AND Kerrigan soon after. Specially since they are both Ghosts and Terran. It'd be a good set too XD

Will a Mothership plush be too hard to make? I'm just wondering, because i want to buy one somewhere and nobody seems to make it...

This is one of the models I'm also working on
(Well I am actually working on ALOT, but this one is one that has priority at the moment too).
So the design is partly made. Im just debating the middle part.
If you look at the unit, there's a small city within the field that protects it.
Simple thing would be to make the orb just plain blue, but I've been thinking about making a small spiky city inside very rough and a transparent orb to better represent it.
Im still debating it.
But I can and will make it
No unit is off really

Needs more plush.
Why have a flat plushie? I never understood that. Unless that OL is a blanket I cannot imagine that being soft or fluffy enough to be a pillow.

It's not flat, it does have quite a bulge to it. I just took the photo before I got to fill it completely.
Might not look like it but it was actually pretty darn comfy. It has alot of fluff. Also, the lighting didn't get the fluff as good.

From your reply I'm not sure you got my point.
If you make money with Blizzard stuff they're entitled to a share.
Make sure that not some day Blizzard's lawyers send you a friendly letter asking for 50% royalties on all your sales.

Waiting anxiously to see the Collossus and perhaps the broodlords. This is definitely a project to support. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the overlord and phoenix, in real life
Thank you AztecTemplar.

No, I totally get your point. But honestly, first it's a waste of their time, because based on the cost of material and making them. Profit isn't that high, so they'll be disappointed and they would have spent alot more in lawyers compared to what they'll gain. Also they alienate fanbase that support plushies of one of their franchises that they, themselves, have neglected to act upon. If that day comes I'd be happy to give what they ask. They just might be disappointed in their gain and I think they know this. Based on my profit, I really make it more for the pleasure of making them and sharing them than actual huge profit.
Waiting anxiously to see the Collossus and perhaps the broodlords. This is definitely a project to support. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the overlord and phoenix, in real life
Thank you AztecTemplar.
Thank YOU! :D Hope you like them in real life XD
I think the Broodlord will be done relatively soon The Colossus probably abit longer, but both should be out and about before HotS comes out :3
Thank you so much :D

What makes you believe Blizzard could only take part of your profit? Your sales is based on reproducing Starcraft characters that are Blizzard's intellectual property, Blizzard can request a reasonable share of your turnover and you can end up losing money.
If you think they will not because you're too small a fish, you may be underestimating Blizzard's determination to enforce their intellectual property.
Don't take any risk, a simple e-mail could be enough to get their authorization.
Over and out.

Thank you so very much!! :D It really means alot :3 Gives me confidence.
Banelings huh? Everyone wants Banelings, Dragoons and a Terran unit lol.
They will probably go after the Colossus and Broodlord, after that I will make many plushies/designs at the same time. So soon XD
You can go to my FB page and like it, thats where I post updates and such: http://www.facebook.com/azzysplushyshop
There's alink to the shop there. :3

Colossus and Broodlord in production now, should have a photo soon.
Also, just to get feedback on what you guys/gals think about an SC blanket.
(Not just a piece of fabric, but as in 2 layers with batting in the middle).
I seek your feedback guys! I feel creative XD
Thank you
|
While I finish up the Broodlord and Colossus plushies, I thought I'd bridge the gap with 2 small projects, these are first draft, but I will add more details I hope. But so far its more for fun.
Oh! Also working on some Xmas stockings
Anyways, here's the 2 new small plushies :D A marine will be coming soon too. Let me know what you think

Im thinking about buying a Phoenix one. How long does in usually take to ship.
|
I would pay anything for an Immortal plushie
|
Oh my god that zealot is so cute :D
|
Naww, this are so cute :3 Really nice work on making them :3

I am making them out of fleece now, rather than minky. So, it takes about a week or 2. I try to stay within the one week.
Except for the current orders I have because those are minky and it takes longer to work with them
I would pay anything for an Immortal plushie
Anything huh? :3
Just kidding. If I can get the shapes right that shouldnt be too hard. The colossus has taken me a while but the Immortal is so bulky and square and I actually started sewing based on cubism, so that should be quite doable ;3 Might be done soon
Oh my god that zealot is so cute :D
Aw thank you! I think its a worthy companion to Protoss players XD
Naww, this are so cute :3 Really nice work on making them :3
Thank you so much! I try. The last 2 are more like small projects while the big ones come out :D
The Pylon might be improved though XD
Updates at: facebook.com/azzysplushyshop
XD

I might make an update to the first post. But, I really need to pay for college, so I will lower the Phoenix price if anyone's interested.
It will be made out of fleece now though, minky fabric will be more expensive.
Also, if anyone wants a Broodlord, the first photos of the completed project will be posted on FB within a week. It is almost done. I rather love how it came out, only thing that needs work right now is the mouth.
And any future ideas will be appreciated, at the moment I see that people want Dragoons, Immortals and Banelings.
So I will focus on those while the Colossus gets completed
Thank you

Update time guys
I know you were dying to see the Broodlord. So I have a sneak peak before the final process begins
Here is the sneak peak
and here is the pre-order if you feel like saving abit
http://www.etsy.com/listing/124166863/pre-order-zerg-25-broodlord-plush
Finally shifting focus 100% into Colossus, Banelings and Supply Depot Pillow
MAYBE a mothership.
Thoughts, as always, are welcome. Your input helps me see what else to make or fix XD
Hope you like the pre-fabrication pic :3
|
Really cool work!
|
Destructible Rock/Debris pillows anyone?
|
Really cool work!
Thank you!!
I hope to have it done this week and then on to what people want...Banelings, Supply Depot and probably start a Dragoon.
Destructible Rock/Debris pillows anyone?
Lol I wish!! Too Generic or edgy for plushies.
I think someone with better art skills in molding could do a baking clay one. I'm barely starting on that front.
Theyd just look like a mass of spheres and rectangles in plushy form XD
Oh yeah if anyone can guide me to official Dragoon photos so I can start making it, I'll appreciate it. I can only find one.
|
Thought I'd update on new things.
BTW Baneling and Zerg Egg will be coming soon. :3
Zergy Pillow
and
Zergy Glass :3
Look how it looks like actual organic creep against the light XD
All available at the store of course, but just thought I'd share the news XD

Based on the quality of the products (not saying they are terrible, just clearly not perfect either), if they ever started to make a significant amount of money blizzard would more likely just produce and sell their own at a lower cost (bulk) with a better design. Which in affect would put the OP out of business.
Typically blizzard doesn't enforce it's IP control unless it's damaging in some significant way to their products or profit. Hence why they went after KeSPA when they cut blizzard out because there was a significant amount of money involved that they were not getting a piece of.
Example of them not enforcing it is that technically you have to get blizzards permission to run any SC2 tournament and a lot of smaller scale ones never do.
The only world I could see them go after the OP would be if they started to make plush toys and the OP was beating them in or close to them in sales which is highly unlikely.
@OP not bad keep improving

Blizzard, like any major companies pays it lawyer an annual fee. Any work required by the lawyer for that year is covered in that fee. OP should not be worried about blizzard taking his profits, he should be worried about copyright infringement.

Honestly, if Blizzard made plushies, pillows or any of that stuff, these things wouldnt be made in the first place.
They are made because we lack it and we want it. How many years have people asked for it and it was never done or produced?
If Blizz starts making plushes or pillows or stuff, trust me, I'd stop making them. These are made mainly for friends and fam, but why not let others have them too? Since they dont even exist. Its not like the profit is too high either.
And yes, afraid of copyright infringement is right. The moment they say to stop, it will be stopped.
But the fanbase wants and needs the plushies. If they aren't going to spend some of their millions into producing better plushies, why stop others from spending work and money on making them for others.

Thought I'd add my new mugs and glass :3
Perfect for the launch of HotS and endless hours playing everyones fave game :D
First ones though, Im hoping second will look even bttr XD
I just feel they look alot better in color than etched :3
Took ages to make too...and patience.

I ordered two of those plush figures on the 4th of february. You're not responding to PM's on here, despite posting. Could I get an update please ?

Just to address the whole copyright thing. I am not the only one doing plushies and I think those of us who do them know about it. Profits aren't amazing, so it's not like we are laughing our way to the bank with the orders. We mainly do it for the sake of giving people plushies of things they love that the official company doesnt want to do. You think they dont have the money to do them? How many people wanted one for HotS LE? They either take ages or don't make them. So some of us took the time to make them. We don't do it for free, but we certainly dont earn enough from them. When, and if, they start making them, I'll be done making them. I dont seek to compete or take business from Blizz. I love that company.
But I hate when you want some plush of your favorite character and you never find it. You either make it or ask someone to make it.
So this is like a friend asking me to make one for them and paying me for the material and abit for my time. Same exact thing.
I do them per order, so in a sense you are my friend asking me to do it for you; I don't have a stash of them and mass selling them. It's custom ordering.
We know the risk. Trust me, I think those who make it do. We just want to keep making plushies, because we love the game, the characters and the sense of having those characters around with us. I actually wish Blizz got that and made official ones.
I appreciate the concern and advice though.
-------------------------------------------
Just to have a small update:
Baneling is now fatter, which makes it look alot better. Different fabric too, more cuddly.
The back "bulb" or butt it has may change of fabric to, to something more cool and soft XD I'm working with that.
The green bulbs on the top may also get bulgier, rather than just glued. But I like how it looks now.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HkHTFe2.jpg)
NEW Phoenix plush!
This one is smaller, the bigger one is now called a pillow, because its about 2.5 feet!
This new phoenix is cuter and smaller at around 15". I LOVE it. Hope you do too.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8fn1ua2.jpg)
Aside from that and making the Chibi DT and Marine, I am working on an Ultralisk and a Swarmhost that someone requested
I really want a Stalker, so I may do that as well.
I am doing things as per request now, rather than me doing designs like crazy. So, we'll see what happens.
If you want something done, send me a message and we'll see what I can do for you :D
Oh! Also a Totodile Pillow, but that's Pokemon and not SC XD Just thought I'd say it XD

That baneling plushy is cute-sauce. Ever considered getting together with Carbot and making plushies of some of their stuff? I'd buy a zergling plushy that looked like one of their zerglings for sure...
http://www.swagling.com/
|
I wouldn't use these as pillows but damn are they cool!
|
Decided to make this one available for a short time.
Baneling cute pillow.
(Yes the mouth in this one is abit crooked, that's how it was asked for, but new ones will be straight.)
Oh and the Ultralisk plush should be done this month :3
Not sure about the Swarmhost though, it's abit more challenging than I thought, and I have other pillows I gotta do besides that.
