The stuffed Godzilla I had in college was getting pretty war-weary, so I decided to make a larger, slightly-improved copy of it to test out my new sewing machine. The Juki passed with flying colors, so here's the final product with a 6" Bandai G-Standard and tape measure for comparison.

I should have squared off the corners of the jaw and made the teeth somewhat longer, as the head is somewhat uneven. There are a few other spots with template slip, but all in all, it turned out pretty well for a first attempt. It took about eight pounds of fiberfill to stuff him, I'm lucky I bought another box. Making the 2.5x version is unlikely, I'm not sure if a 40-pound kaiju Squishable is all that desirable. (Okay, I know some of you want that sort of thing, but really, no.)

As the plush I copied is under copyright and might see another production run, I will not release a copy of the pattern or sell copies of the plush.
