Put another entry into
the catalog of cute WoW-related dolls, because
this plush Moonkin, made by Serthida of Bloodhoof, definitely fits the bill. Unfortunately, Blizzard has only ever released
a Murloc plush, but that didn't stop Serthida from putting this together. It looks amazing. She even wanted to put a voicebox in there that made the moonkin hoot when squeezed, but we're guessing she doesn't want to
buy a whole case of them from China. She does, however, have mats (see what we did there?) for a second Alliance version -- she says as soon as she can figure out the antlers, she'll get it started.
This one is just her personal project, so it's not for sale at all, and once again, we're guessing it's too much work for her to mass produce anyway. But since the Murloc toy was one of the best-selling items at BlizzCon last year, maybe we'll soon see some more official plush product for sale.
Thanks, Xascha!Tags: alliance, blizzcon, bloodhoof, crafting, cute, doll, jinx, moonkin, murloc-plush, plush, plushie, sewing, toy, voicebox

That's some pretty great craftsmanship there. The eyes are a little creepy-starey, but other than that it looks awesome. Very good job.

I'm really impressed, Serthida! This could easily be a designer prototype, it's clearly made by someone who knows their stuff. Hopefully someone at Blizzard or one of their merchandiser partners sees the potential in it :). And for moonkins everywhere, you rock! (Please please please do the Alliance version!)

Very nicely done! I love the little stars with the tufts around the neck!
Oh, and Mike...Grammar Nazi wants you to know that it's "foots the bill", not "fits". Grammar Nazi will shut up now. :-)

No.. footing the bill means you pay the bill. Fitting the bill means it matches the description, i.e. "catalog of cute WoW-related dolls".
Keyra Apr 27th 2009 4:54PM
Doh! You're right...that's what I get for trying to think on a Monday :-)

For the Horde!
ScytheNoire Apr 27th 2009 4:39PM
That's awesome.
Although I agree with others, eyes should probably be different.
Very awesome though.
Now, where can I get a plush Death Knight?
Serthida Apr 28th 2009 1:22AM
Yeah, I had a hard time with the eyes, I ended up using some buttons I tinted with permanent ink to the color I saw on my own character model. I decided to leave pupils off because otherwise it would have looked even more creepy-stare-y. If I do any more Horde side ones I'll probably pony up the few bucks for actual stuffed animal eyes, I know I can do better.

I don't even really play my druid much but totally cool. Looks very nice... and if I ever find a certain someone that happens to play WoW + play a Druid I'd get this for them :D

Still awesome...but didn't that get blogged last week? I know I've seen this already.
Neirin Apr 27th 2009 5:45PM
I think this was in The Daily Queue or something a few days back, but I remember thinking that it deserved it's own post when I saw it. I love my moonkin - my cute little (well, actually they're kinda big) feathery ball of cuddly death. A plushie moonkin would be a valuable addition to any kid's collection and WoW's playerbase includes many parents (not to mention the countless other people who just want to show off some WoW pride) that would probably jump at something like this if blizz ever mass produced them.
Major kudos to Serthida.

Holy crap that thing is awesome.
Atlas Apr 27th 2009 6:45PM
Aww i wish i had an alliance kitty form plush.. /lust. Aside from that, this is awesome. Pure. Awesome.
Deardramezda Apr 27th 2009 7:22PM
Now...Can we get a death knight Ghoul plushie? ^_^
And when you squeeze it, it says "Me Like....Shiiiiny".
Tee hee.
Karilyn Apr 27th 2009 7:37PM
I want one so bad.
I would donate my Kidney for that thing.
So incredibly cute D:
Rakeesh Apr 27th 2009 7:40PM
