Matthew Taranto did a Kickstarter a while back to print up a big volume of all the Brawl in the Family comic, etc, and mine finally arrived yesterday. I'm so excited
Dededoll posed with my life-size Kirby and Daisy crocheted plushes (aka they're both 20cm/8in tall). Perfect hugging size for lil D
waluigi from brawl in the family accidentally walked into a divorce court with a bowl of popcorn and refused to leave until 50 minutes after the trial ended so ig that counts
I finished my Dededoll!!! :D Aside from the little mockups I made to practice sewing the pattern, this little fella is the first plushie I’ve ever made myself! I love him to pieces!!
I made the pattern myself based on photos of the original Brawl in the Family Dededoll, cut out all the fabric pieces, and sewed it together by hand because I don’t know how to use a sewing machine. Since I was making this guy from scratch I also decided to customize him a bit, so I made him a bit bigger (I think? he’s a bit over 10 inches, can’t tell how big the original is) thank the original Dededoll, sewed him a little V-for-victory logo for the back of his robe to match the symbol on Dedede’s robe in the Kirby games, and as a more minor detail made the front/center triangle red.
Brawl in the Family means a lot to me, I started reading it back in fifth or sixth grade not long after it started, and kept reading it up until it came to an end in 2014. I have all four hardcover compilation books, and it was always a big regret of mine that I never got a Dededoll when I had the chance. After years of searching on eBay and other websites, I finally decided that I’d make my own, and here he is :D
