Space Invaders To Cuddle

To those who can't seem to wrap their heads around the economics, please read this article.

And they're made of really nice (expensive) polar fleece, like Uglydolls, not cheap felt from Wal*Mart. Actually I find it quite amusing Wal*Mart was mentioned, considering the main reason these cost what they do is so we could pay ourselves a whopping ten bucks an hour, instead of having them mass produced overseas by child slave laborers.

I think they're kind of cute.

@Dragoonkin:

Hmmm... so anyone who doesn't like them is a "whiny hater"?

Everyone commented directly on the product, and didn't resort to name calling.

Like you did, for example.

Yeah, I've got to say I'm not all that impressed. Especially for $25 a pop!

These aren't cute at all. They are crap.

The eyes don't even line up with where the other pixels do!

Cute and well imagined definitely does not justify the price tag... I mean this is the kind of project we did in intro sewing class in seventh grade. $15 would be pushing it, $25 is atrocious.

@kokuou: You are right, they were made for much less than $25 each. But they were well imagined and are cute. I can see Bashcraft carrying one around like Sebastian and his teddy bear in Brideshead Revisited.

@kokuou: You are right, they wouldn't cost that much to make yourself. Still, they are cute and well imagined. I can see Bashcraft, who has assured us he actually is a nice guy, carrying one with him in the same way Sebastian in Brideheads Revisited lugs around his teddy bear.

You don't have to be canonical when you are cuddly.

Yeah, they're cute, but so not worth $25, considering that they only cost probably ten percent of that to make each.

So cute! Makes me want to go make some 8-bit plushies.

If only all "Kill All Human" creatures looked that cute.

They're cute, but they look like they'd be rather easy to make out of those cheap felt squares you can find at Wal-Mart. Speaking from experience here, only I made plush 8-bit Zelda items instead.
