I was browsing the internet the other day and stumbled across the stuffed toy lothcats they sell in Galaxy's Edge, and uh...
I don't want to be mean to the toy designers at Disney, but these look awful. Also, they're like 70$ on ebay. No Thanks.
They have cuter ones over in Europe, but those are equally inaccessible.
Anywho, I decided to put my rudimentary sewing skills to the test and make one. I'm inspired by the animatronic lothcat they have in the store where you can buy stuffed animals:
which is apparently animatronic.
I bought a FurReal friends cat. I figure lothcats look enough like real cats that I could just swap the fabric and alter the head and feet a little. It needs C or D batteries, which I don't have on hand, so I'm not sure how the animatronics work (or if they work).
I want to use this faux fur, which I thought I bought at Hobby Lobby but turns out I got at JoAnns (probably).
I'll either find more or paint/dye some white fabric.
Here's the toy without fur, if you like horrorshow stuff
My plans are to get batteries and fabric, and to figure out how to widen the mouth (styrene sheets cut to shape?), and make the head rounder (pos pull out the animatronics for the ears and extend them)
Thanks for reading!
