I'll have to go look. I remember they had big heads and looked like you could do any TF or character. Seems papercraft is getting more popular or maybe its the couple of people I've seen make it look really cool

indeed. i'm working on making a few more of them now. i've got a prowl and a starscream done already. i'm thinking of doing a few customs myself too... they seem incredibly easy to make. i need to make a jazz design (since they didn't already have one made up)

awesome! i'm going to check out his stuff now. i wanna try one of my own for beamer (maybe for blade, polaris and rodeo too)... though if i epically fail at it, i'll look for some advise i think.

starshotseeker In reply to WillMangin [2010-04-24 04:48:28 +0000 UTC]

good luck with them! I want to see when you did some, specially Beamer X3

here I'm trying to design a plushie because I was inspired a lot of time ago by the girl that did the plushformers, but sadly she deactivated her account so now I'm searching some other plushies artists for advice

WillMangin In reply to starshotseeker [2010-04-26 04:21:54 +0000 UTC]

that would be awesome! if you end up doing plushies, i imagine you'll receive a flood of commissions. seems like the people that did them had a HUGE backlog of requests and commissions. it's crazy how much everyone wants those. (personally, i wouldn't mind one myself)

starshotseeker In reply to WillMangin [2010-04-26 04:41:23 +0000 UTC]

haha XD it would be cool if I end doing plushies, but for now I only want to have ones for me, I'm not thinking on doing commisions if I can do them because I haven't the time to do it, and sure my mum is going to finish sewing all XDD so if I start do commisions she is going to kill me
and plus I had bad experience with the commisions of my transformers t-shirts because I haven't paypal

the crazy thing here is that I really don't know how Hasbro or Takara not noticed that the people really loves the plushies, I think if they talk with some of the people here on DA that did tfs plushies they cool see how popular are those tf plushies and it would be so great if they start to do massive plushies like they do with the transformers toy figures... specially because with that sure more girls and little children are going to want a tf, because the plushies too are even more safe to them
the problem here is that to capture atencion the plushies have to be cute and adorables and they have to be chibi style to make transformers looks like that

WillMangin In reply to starshotseeker [2010-04-26 04:52:25 +0000 UTC]

as long as you don't market it as official transformers product (in name or complete design), you're safe. or at least i think that's the rule. they did have a couple of g1 plushies (prime and bumblebee) that came out when the first movie did. they even transformed. i bought both of them for my son.

you should set up a paypal account! it's really pretty convient to have.

starshotseeker In reply to WillMangin [2010-04-26 05:24:17 +0000 UTC]

oh yeah, I saw those plushies in some photos because here in Argentina never appeared, but I know that some people don't like them at all, I really don't know why...

and about the paypal of course I know that is really great and helpfull but sadly I haven't work I only study and my dad pay all for me so that's why I can't have one
