March has been a very wolfy month for me. No sooner had I finished the Fruit Brute mask Sackboy then yet another wolf-themed doll order came in from a co-worker. He wanted a Sackboy doll based on the Teen Wolf character played by Michael J. Fox in the 1980′s. He even provided some nifty screen [...]
Little Big Bad Wolf: Fruit Brute SackboyWhat do you get when you mash up a regular classic Sackboy and an obscure kid’s cereal from the 70′s? Fruit Brute Sackboy! The Fruit Brute mask is completely removable via a slit in the bottom of the mask. Due to the relatively large size of the Sackboy’s head, the mask is removed by pulling [...]
Ulala Space Channel 5 SackgirlIt’s rare that I get an order for a female Sackperson since most people seem to want male characters turned into custom dolls, so when Game-Boy from Gaygamer.net asked if I could make Miss Ulala from the Sega Dreamcast game Space Channel 5, I agreed immediately. She’s about 9.5″ tall thanks to her platform boots [...]
Sackboy Kratos, the Little Big God of WarSay hello to Kratos from the PS2/PS3 video game God of War in Sackboy form! I modeled him after the pre-order bonus skin from LittleBigPlanet, down to the jagged-edged swords, chain trim, and grumpy faced expression. He features a real antique brass-colored zipper, silver-tone chain trim, crocheted thread tattoo markings, and custom sculpted and painted [...]

(For those who have emailed me, I’m way behind on answering that first round of emails, but I am going to do my best to answer everyone by this Sunday at the latest.) [...]
Sack Prince of PersiaWhat I like about making these dolls is that each one presents a new challenge that keeps things fresh. This week’s project was to transform the latest Prince of Persia into a Sackboy, sword, clawed gauntlet, hair, clothing, and all. It took longer than any of the other dolls I’ve made, but it was well [...]
Hell(Sack)BoyI put the final touches on Hell(Sack)Boy today including revised legs, shorts with a hole for his tail, decorative top stitching, and a cigar. I kind of liked him without the decorative stitches, but he’s cute this way, too.
Custom Crochet Sackboys GaloreWelcome to all of the visitors from Kotaku. Thanks for checking out my dolls, and sorry for the slow site. I didn’t expect this many people stopping by. Sometimes, I amaze even myself. From left to right: Hellboy, Spock, Daft Wullie (a Nac Mac Feegle from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books), and Sackboy Classic. Each of [...]
