Toilet Toys!!!

So this is an idea we've had for a while and a few people around the globe are making plush poos but we decided to do our own take on it... and as they say you can't do poos without wees!



We then thought about making other bodily functions into plush, sooooo... we made snot!


And farts, this dude is a "shart"!


And here's the labels we've made up for them...

PLUSH YOU 08


Last year we were involved in a cool plush exhibition in at Schmancy in Seatttle and they've asked us to contribute to this years show. It's a lot of fun making toys for things like this, especially when their so far away from New Zealand! So here's a sneak peek at what we made, we'll show the whole toy closer to the show in October. We were also just interviewed by Kristen over at the Plush You blog so go have a read...

Geek Freek in Sydney!!!

A while ago we were asked to particate in a cool Plush Exhibition Ruban Rat in Sydney Australia called "Plush It". The idea of the show is that each artist is given the same template or shape and can do what ever they want to it, similar to vinyl custom shows.

Here's some behind the scenes pics of us making our toy, we'll unveil what the finished product looks like closer to the show in November...





We also answered a few questions for them, check out our interview here!!

Sparkle Friends vs Geek Freeks!!

So this is pretty cool, we were asked to make a plush toy of Gungi from Mukpuddy's cartoon Sparkle Friends (see clip below). It's gonna be used as the prize for a competition on What Now (the kids variety show Sparkle Friends plays on), and kids have to draw themselves as a Sparkle Friend with Gungi. It's gonna be really cool to see what kids come up with and one will be lucky enough to win this handmade one-of-a-kind Gungi Plushy!!!
Here's the latest episode...

So here's us making it...








And heres the toy, not sure if the photos do it justice really...
