Plush Game Consoles Revealed

Posted by simoniker on 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.

    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

    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.

    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.
