Life Sized G1 Ravage Plush

Man, I've been waiting to do this for a while!

At 5 feet long and 4 feet propped up, this life sized Ravage plush is totally not for sale! He took me only 5 days to assemble, and then life threw a wrench at me (or Ratchet, sometimes it's hard to tell), and his skin had to wait for the finishing details.

Anyways, his core comes out, leaving his legs, head and tail detachable in case of spit ups, sweating, or (if you're me) occasional soda spills.  Made of plush fabric, he's a pillow! He doesn't really sit up, but he does slouch over. His joints are still anatomically as correct as I could get them (two things here: 1- He's kinda hard to decipher from box artwork, toys, comics, and animation, so I did the best I could; and 2-foam stuffing does not like to cooperate. It bends, flops, squishes and slumps. And as big as he is, this can be a huge problem. So, he's reinforced with a lot of upholstery foam- hence, why his legs are so square. That's kinda the only way to get them that geometric. But you have to know your way around a blade and how to use it when slicing a material that, frankly, hates to be cut. Don't try this so large if you want to make something like this. Start small- like with Laserbeak. Cheaper, thinner foam and not so bad on the price tag!)

I'll post more later, but Ravage's Decepticon symbols have not been sliced free, so they are kinda one big pointy symbol. I hesitate to operate on these, cuz they were not happy to go on. Blasted purple thread, breaking on me while I try to do some more intricate knots.

So, yellow eyes (because again, box artwork verse cartoon- yellow seemed more friendly), grey body, and light grey legs.

And now he's off on his big mission to scare my nosey neighbor. And she is NOSE-Y!!!

Total cost- estimated about $150 for materials alone . I used a lot of coupons for the 2" foam, and planned it out, but I salvaged some remnants from other projects as well for filler in the body cavity.

Don't bother flaming, I'm not one to react. But this Ravage is a one of a kind beauty, and (as of this post) is the only one of this size.
