Cyclops... in teddy form?

Well, this must seem a rather mundane reasion to post. Mneh.



Yeah, I couldn't get hold of a Cyclops cuddly toy at the Expo on Saturday-- I mean, I met Eoin Colfer, Mark Sparacio and a load of really really good cosplayers, but all the plushies were FF VII, or animé, and I couldn't be assed to fork out £18 for something pointless.

Nonetheless, I'm not one to back down (come on, I wore an intensely silly bunny hat on the tube on the way home on the tube/train for a bet, clutching a large Astonishing X-Men print protectively), and I really did want that bear rather badly. So, stage one of Cyclops Teddy has been completed; that being the visor, which took a wire frame and a very complex sewing job to get it to fit. Huzzah!

(I apologise for the crappy quality of this photo in advance)

Yeah, it's a bit of a mothbitten teddy, bless it, but it's the most traditional one I have. Plus, don't you think that Cyclops would be a bit worn with use if he was a teddy bear?

Oh my God it's so CUTE!!!
I want one for myself as well, too bad they don't have on-line shopping available.

All of us Cyke fans aren't, hon.:)

PS. Can I borrow this pic to post on another board?

I know! I was so happy once I'd taken that photo and it looked alright.

I'd make another one for you, but mailing it might be a bit dodgy.

Yeah, of course you can put this on another board! I'll post it up on the Cyclops comm soon enough, but I haven't finished yet; the plan is to make the whole outfit, now that the first piece worked out so well.

Yeah, mailing a package of a Teddy Bear in disguise of Cyclops might look a little bit suspicious.:D

Thanks! I'm going to wait for you get the whole outfit done to post it! You must be really good at doing this stuff, I've been wanting to make myself a Cyclops stuffed doll but the process has always been stuck at the stage of daydreaming.

Normally, I get so far into planning something and it gets scrapped at the last minute (most of my fanfic goes down this route), but at the minute everything's going well on this project.

My Mum's all 'you could make a business plan out of this' which is amusing as well as scary. I mean, despite plans for a matching Jean Grey teddy, it probably won't go anywhere else... unless I can find a kitten plushie, in which case I will be dressing it up as Wolverine.
