Crochet Amigurumi Stuffed Tauntaun: Soft Hoth

This adorable crocheted Tauntaun will be a great addition to your other plush Star Wars toys. He will look great on your shelf, your couch, in your bed or wherever. He isn’t big enough to cut open if you are facing bitter cold temps though. Which is good, considering the smell.

As you can see in the picture, Iron Man’s mask even flips up. As a bonus the helmet also comes off completely, revealing Tony’s head and he even has facial hair. Hug him, squeeze him, cuddle with him in bed. It’s all good. No one will know what a softy you are.

He’s the cutest Avenger. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to get all of that detail. In the end he turned out perfect. I wish I had one to put on the shelf and admire for myself.

Amigurumi Plants vs. Zombies: The Crocheting Dead

There’s word on the street that a new Plants vs. Zombies game is being announced at E3 this week. So with the game back on the minds of many, what better time to grab this awesome collection of PvZ amigurumis.

amigurumi pvz 1

This epic collection was created by Komang Damiani and includes a whopping 23 individual Plants and other weapons from your garden.

Unfortunately, The zombies seem to be nowhere to be found in this handmade collection of yarn plants.

Still it’s a pretty great collection for anyone who loves the game. The complete set will set you back $190(USD), so that’s less than $9 per plant. Now all you need is a bunch of crocheted zombies to go with. Oh, they make those too

Crocheted Minions: Despicable Amigurumi

For me, Despicable Me was a unexpectedly entertaining animated film. Perhaps it was because of Steve Carrell’s hilarious performance as Gru, or maybe it was his Raving Rabbids-esque army of minions. Either way, you won’t be able to resist this collection of amigurumi minions.

This set of nine minions was handmade by crochet artist Komang Darmiani, and they’re just waiting to be placed on your desk for family, friends or co-workers to ogle and grope. Each one is made from acrylic yarn and measures just under 3″ tall.

The full set will set you back $99.90(USD) – or just over $11 a minion – not too bad for your own highly-obedient cubicle army, I say.

Snail Avengers: Assemble, Very Slowly!

Avengers Assemble! I said Avengers Assemble! Oh, I see you are working on it. Don’t hurry on my account. The world is only doomed. Looking at my watch. Nevermind, I’ll just call the X-Men. These Avengers snail amigurumis are adorable. They are just painfully slow.

Hulk smash? No, Hulk slime! You have all of the Avengers here in soft snail form and looking to cute to do battle with anyone. They are the work of Etsy seller Fallen Designs and will cost you $17-$20(USD) each.

They would look pretty amazing on your desk with your other toys. I would love to see this movie, although the running time would be about two minutes and it would end with the villain stomping these heroes into goo – or worse yet, pouring salt on them.

Kirby Amigurumi Doesn’t Suck

Check out this Kirby amigurumi. Isn’t he adorable? Of course he is. Well, when he isn’t kicking your butt in Super Smash Bros. that is. Kirby sucked in that game. Literally. That’s what I like about Kirby. He can suck up his enemies and spit them out. If you are a fan of Kirby, you’ll want to cuddle with this cute little guy.

This pink puffy dude was handmade by Etsy artist Emilie Meguid who will even customize it for you if you request it.

He is a bunch of crocheted fun waiting to happen – that’s what he is. Just imagine the adventures that the pair of you will have together, snuggling in bed, snuggling on the couch, snuggling while you play the latest Kirby game…

Solid Snake Amigurumi Will Sneak His Way into Your Heart

We’ve seen an amigurumi of Old Snake before, but I like the young Solid Snake much better than that bitter – but heroic! – old fart. Which is why if I had this amigurumi I would hug it so tightly a ration would come out before I even dropped it.

But since he’s just 5.5″ tall, it’d be easier to squeeze him with one hand than give it a full CQC hug. But look at that awesomely stitched beard. And that mullet! Good thing he doesn’t have a crocheted cigarette or I would’ve given in and bought it, shipping be damned.

For those of you who have been sleeping under a rock for the last 26 years, Samus Aran is the famous intergalactic bounty hunter from Nintendo’s Metroid series, and she was one of maybe a handful of female heroes in video games at the time – not that we knew she was a woman until the end of the game. Now she is all cute and adorable as a handmade amigurumi!
