Ok, so the story goes... I was a huge Sonic fan at one point before the games went all 3D. I never owned a Genesis, but I knew enough people who did to totally get into the series. I didn't find out until 1996 after SatAM was canceled that Archie comics was doing a comic book series. So, the fandom didn't die for me.. it only got WORSE! (I never owned a game cube either)
So... ONCE UPON A TIME - in grade school - my mom bought me the small Sonic plushie. Since back then Tails and Knuckles were hard as anything to find (I don't think they ever MADE plushies of Tails or Knuckles until Sonic X)... so I asked mom if she would make me Tails and Knuckles.
All was well until I got into Archie Sonic. Being a teenage now and able to use a sewing machine I used the pattern mom had saved of Tails and Knuckles... and proceeded to sew up a storm.

Julie-Su, Knuckles, Classic Amy Rose (boo on her new look), Mighty, Espio, Charmy, Vector, Sonic (made by Sega), Tails, Athair, and Uncle Chuck. All hand made by me & my mom (and the sewing machine, lol).

I still have the patterns for all of them and I've briefly thought of selling the plushies, then after I dusted them off to take pictures (I missed a spot on Athair's head) I decided HELL NO! d: I made them and I'm SO proud of them. Despite my fandom has died down considerably I don't think I'll ever part with them now.

Nice... you made (most of) these yourself? Ever try makin' a Shadow plushie? Heh, you different from me. My love of Sonic has been growing, more and more, each year.

You ask me: What is the meaning of life? This normally unanswerable question, I think I have found an answer. It is the love of your friends and family, and protectin' them with all your strength. Love... It is the answer to everything.

cool!, i was wondering if that was athair. looking at it my guesses were either Athair or Yanar, then i looked at the description lol! awesome plushies! i could relate to how hard knuckles plushies were to find back in those days, the only ones made in the earlier times were only available in japan : (.
