Which plush should I make?

[The Highway]

yay indeed

Okay, as promised, and although nobody is likely to care since I bet you're all busy downloading, I'm adding the Sam&Max pictures, all together in a single post for the first time! (previously seen in the preorder forums where they can still be found in between unrelated posts):

[Fealiks]

D'awww! Those Sam and Maxes look so cute!

Also that cat is SUPER realistic. How the hell did you knit it?! It's crazy. Oh, wait... I didn't read your post properly. Never mind.

(Sorry about that, I'm running for Most Obvious Bad Joke Award 2010. Fingers crossed!)

[dentbuds]

Thats really good. I especially like Sam. Not that Max isn't just as good (don't kill me!)

[Silverwolfpet]

I demand a Kauff von Diefendorf plushie and a Gustav von Schneider plushie!

Still working on the rocket. After a few failed tries I managed to get a cone. Then I realised the rocket looked like something it probably shouldn't look like so I'm going to work on it some more to make it better.

I have some questions about the narwhal:

a) should the narwhal be screaming, or happy? Don't tell me "both", it's going to be hard enough to make it one of the two xD ("Neither" is a perfect I-will-love-you-forever answer though)

b) I don't have to make it look like Majus's narwhal, right? It can look like an actual narwhal instead? I'm mostly thinking of the :3. I have no clue how I could knit that, although I guess I could try.

I'll use your answers in making it when I'm done with the rocket.

[Avistew]

I finished the rocket. It was less straightforward than I though, and I had to do all but the main piece a couple of times before I got them right, but considering the lack of details and small number of parts it was still rather simple.

Haha... oh dear. Now I'll never be quite able to look at the finished product with a straight face.

Why does Avistew find it necessary to measure her giant red penis?

You should have seen it before!
I thought adding fire would help. Surely nobody would think it's a penis if it's on fire, right? Plus I changed the top and I added the small red part at the bottom. It looks more like a rocket this way.

Meh, I'm sure it will look better when there is a screaming (or otherwise) narwhal strapped to it.

EDIT: wait! When I quoted it, it wasn't saying that!

I put the measuring tape so you'd have an idea how big it was. When I quoted you I could have sworn you were saying "Why did Avistew knit a giant red penis?"...

It just looks like something is coming out the wrong end to me, like someone messed up the directions and put something on the base rather than the tip.

...actually, it doesn't look that bad. Thing is, though, I came in here and saw the picture before reading the post above it, and thought "RED KNITTED PENIS", followed by a few seconds of wondering what it really was before it clicked.

Or otherwise? Like a Moaning Narwhal?

It was a really quick edit. If it's in your post, my edit did get through before you clicked "Quote", but after you read it. I thought that way of saying it would be funnier.

I can't stop laughing at this.

Poor narwhal... I think the expression you choose for him (happy or screaming) will say a lot more about his tastes than we should probably know.

Well, people have also been requesting a... happy... narwhal...

Dammit! I wanted to keep this thread clean! Majus, I blame you 100%.

EDIT: I'm making a new cone. I'll hopefully finish it today or tomorrow and maybe it will look better that way.

... the worse part is that with my record, nobody's going to believe it wasn't on purpose

If there were yellow stripes it wouldn't look like anything because I still wouldn't have figured out how to make it yet. So there.

I'm not stopping the project. Just starting over part of it. The most annoying part. GrrrRRR.
Hopefully that will fix it.

[The Highway]

if i were avistew (which coincidentally i am not, i would just PAINT on the yellow stripes.

Yes, good! The project needs emotions and passion like that!

[Fealiks]

Could you put a plastic cone or something inside it to make it look more angular and sturdy?

I was just thinking that, with thick paper or cardboard, but the plush wouldn't be washable anymore. However, plastic... That might be an idea.
Of course, to make a plastic cone the right size and shape... is another story

[ZombieAtPlay]

Avi, go by Majus' new picture...no stripes on that rocket

Suggestions:
Torture me Elmer (with little torture implements)
Jurgens monster
a Desoto (but i know that would be really difficult...and big if it was to scale!
A rope sack for sam and max
tiny jimmy two teeth
an internet (wtf??)
a respect for living things (i'd love to see that)
A hypno bear
A Trogdor!
