Plush Game Consoles Revealed 32

Posted by simoniker on Sunday November 30, 2003 @07:58PM from the fanboy-stroking-ensues dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the page showcasing a range of handmade 'plush game consoles', including cuddly, non-functional versions of the Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo GameCube, NEC PC Engine (TurboGrafx), and even the Neo Geo. According to the site: "Zumi [the creator] made these plush game consoles from scratch. They were all made by hand, without any tools more sophisticated than a felt pen or piece of paper." The page was recently featured in UK paper-magazine Edge, and there's now one of a limited edition of plush Dreamcasts up on Ebay, for the committed Dreamcast collectors among us.

  I don't think they're mods, but rather plush toys in the shape of consoles.

  i don't think those are mods so much as...toys, or models.
  They seem to be just plush models of the consoles...a teddybear is not a 'mod' to an actual animal...

    Seriously...no machinery to make these, huh? That's probably one of the most obvious things ever stated.

  Some of the other auctions include some funky mods for video game consoles. The "Skeleton" Saturn is pretty sweet -- translucent case, lights and cut away shielding.

    This is the modified Saturn [ebay.com].
    
    It is pretty cool. The impression I get is that there was a limited release of transparent Saturns released in Japan, and this is a modified version of one of those.

As a screenshot on his site shows, he got the size of the consoles pretty much right... EXCEPT for the Neo Geo, which is way too small.

Still, an interesting display of love for one's games. Really cool stuff. :P

Cool, these are perfect for throwing when your favorite game has frustrated you to the point of seething rage. I can finally chuck a Gamecube at someone without fearing legal retaliation!

Or stuff your plush dreamcast with catnip and now even the cat can come to appretiate Sega.

Nice pillows, but do they provide proper neck and upper back support?

  If you used the PC Engine plush toy as a pillow, the cartridge slot would support your neck nicely. And the Gamecube would make a great footstool, if only it were bigger.

I really don't see the point of these things but they are obviously going to end up here Plushie Sex [plushiesex.com] and I have a feeling Ron Jeremy will be blowing these up on DVD

...when this reminds you of the stuffed TV sets and stereos you made back in the '70s. Somehow, I feel vindicated.

I like the "happy anime face" on the Dreamcast (last pic down).

Also, I wonder how long it will be before someone decides to one-up this effort and make functional plushie versions of these. Now THAT would earn you bragging rights. Or, well, eternal shame, depending.

To be successful, a range of plush toys must have a REALLY naff website [ty.com].

Isn't anyone else concerned about these consoles getting too warm? There are ventilation fans for a reason on consoles that shouldn't be obstructed.
