Description
It's Steam Powered Giraffe- The Singing Musical Automatons!Pictured here from left to right: The Spine, Rabbit, and The Jon.
These automaton blokes have got it all: awesome harmonies, old-fashioned tunes, robotic movements, comedy, giraffes, and the occasional reference to quesadillas and/or space burritos.
Here's the ever-popular music video for "Honeybee", for those who want to see them in action: [link]
It took two whole weeks of trial and error to make these plushies...and yet I'm still not satisfied. I may tweak the style and make another set....maybe.
I'll post each member separately to show off some of the smaller details:
The Spine: [link]
Rabbit: [link]
The Jon: [link]
No, I'm not selling these plushies- just keep wishing on that special Steam Powered Giraffe star, and one day, they'll sell some official plushies that look a hundred times better than these. 'Cause these plushies could use a little bit of improvement....
Steam Powered Giraffe is (c) .....Steam Powered Giraffe....?

Wow. wow wow wow. You're awesome. I don't know how you pulled off shiny robots into tiny soft plushies, but you did it perfectly. Any plans on a Hatchworth? Also, what kind of fabric is that? I've never seen metallic-looking fabric

Oh, wow, thank you very muchly! 
Haaa...I really need to get back to work on Hatchy. I started on one back when he was first revealed but then I heard about how he was gonna get a new outfit, so I just stopped and waited for pics of the new outfit. Maybe I'll just remake the whole group of them now that their makeup/costumes have changed a bit...
OH, and the shiny fabric is some sort of satin...I got it at Hobby Lobby- they had just about every metallic color for SPG bots, except for Rabbit's copper. I had to order some online at another place...

Thanks I would've never thought to use satin! So obvious yet I missed it.
Hatchy's new light up circle orb thingy looks mighty fine! If you could somehow make him light up...that would be...grand. Did you ever see the blue lights spg added to their costumes once? They were... interesting xD

OOOOH! That would be awesome to have Hatchy's portal glow somehow! I'd hate to put an actual light in it 'cause eventually, the batteries would die...Mayhaps some glow-in-the-dark fabric paint would suffice...
Ahh, yes the glowy blue lights of SPG's older outfits...I remember seeing them in a video once. Good times, good glowy blue times...xD

Alrighty. I will be watching you so I don't miss that glowy hatchworth >:3

So first I find you've made Baman Piderman plushies, then I find this. You, madam, are my new favorite person!

B'awww, I'm flattered. ^_^
If it was possible, I'd give you an epic high-five through the computer screen...but I'll just have to settle for some happy arm flailing.
Huzzah for liking the same things!

Aw, thanks muchly!
Well, it's doing better than other things I've made- 13 faves in 11 days! Give it time, and they'll eventually start to pick up...steam.
>_> That was a terrible pun...

Out of curiosity, do you use a sewing machine or hand-stitch these? I am totally uneducated in the art of plushy-making.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha! Appropriate link is very appropriate!
But yeah, everything I make is hand-stitched...with lots of hot glue gun thrown in for good measure.

These are absolutely bloody brilliant. Seriously. These are fan-freaking-tastic. Your attention to detail is PHENOMENAL. And I especially love the fact that Rabbit can even wear his goggles (though, be careful with that, what with the lasers and all).
Sorry, I came here from the Cavalcadium link and I just had to comment on how amazing these were.
Did I mention they were awesome?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wowzers, thanks a bunch! I was starting to regret posting up those links...I'm glad you like them so much.
The goggles were so awesome to create, even if they aren't the proper color and all that jazz...I'm just glad that they actually fit around Rabbit's hat and his head- accessories are tough to make...
