Some of you may recall my 1:1 Flareon prototype. It was pretty darn awesome. But it was just practice for the final thing, which I have finished, and which is even more awesome. And although I intended to keep it, having it here is proving... impractical. It's currently taking the entirety of our only couch downstairs. It takes up more of the bed than I do, if I tried to keep it there. It's just in the way. And I'm sort of cash, so it's going up for sale.

How to bid:
-Comment in the bidding thread.
-You must comment in response to the current high bidder, otherwise your bid does not count.
-No non-bidding comments in the bidding thread, if you have something else to say make a new thread for it.
-Do not bid unless you really mean it, a bid is a contract, bid retraction is not allowed, and if you delete your bid I'm going to re-post it for you!
-I will accept payments if you don't have the full sum up front, so feel free to bid yourself into debt. XD
-The auction will run until midnight pacific time on February 5th which is roughly one week from today.
-Payment forms accepted are paypal, check, or money order.

Be aware that shipping is going to be at least $25, and probably more for most people. This thing is huge, and I mean HUGE.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them, just please do not ask questions in the bidding thread, reply to the post to make a new thread for questions.

Thanks!







And here's one with a ruler so you can see it is indeed 1:1 size. :)


It's made from a really nice seal fur (and I do mean really nice, it's one of the softer seal furs I've used) and from spiffy sparkle fur, so the yellow fluffy bits have gold tinsel threads in them. The eyes are embroidered, and the whole thing is stuffed with nearly 10lbs of stuffing. (ZOMG) Sadly it doesn't stand up very well. I was going to reinforce the legs, but I ended up deciding against it. I'd rather have it be snuggly than standing.

Happy bidding.

Jolteon may have a friend, just leaving me to make a Vaporeon to complete the original trio.

Question

From: [identity profile] kyogres.livejournal.com
If I bid on Flareon and won, would you be willing to add support to the legs so it could stand up? I'm not a plush maker, so I don't know how easy or hard that is to do (or if it's even possible once the plush has been finished). I'd be willing to pay extra for the extra work, of course.

OMG.- how have I missed this auctions.

I'm in Australia, would u be willing to ship here (because.of the size)?
And can i roll with a payment plan?

Yes, I can ship to Australia. It's probably going to be more than $50 to do so, just fyi. And yes, I take payment plans. :)
