Artist's Comments

This is one of the biggest cosplay i've made... and i put a lot of thought (now that i look at it, no not enough thought when into this, many things occured which i hadn't planned for, such as the weight of the ears, weakness of the foam etc etc), effort, time, and yes blood, sweat... and.. no, no tears...

It looks like a giant plushie :3
It's not THAT huggable though...
He's made from foam mats, fleece and polyester stuffing (cheeks, ears, feet). Held together with PVA and hot glue gun glue. The hat base is made from foam, covered with green felt and yellow fleece with yellow mesh to see out of. The bow tie is made from red velour and stuffed lightly with wadding.

All in all, he costed only AUD$50 to make XD
Although, now i know that the foam doesn't hold out too well with rough treatment >.< As many people liked to abuse him at the conventions :'( people can be so cruel to something so cute!

This was entered into the Saturday cosplay competition at Animania 2005 and Supanova 2005.
Runners up for Most Original (animania) and Best Costume(supanova)
