Ave.Qute on the UFOcatcher.com BBS found a guide to how a UFO catcher prize plush is developed (it's in Japanese):

But the paper model is way cool.

Plushie

So, someone planted the idea of making a Tarutaru mascot/plushie type thing, specifically one of a guy named Kale that I play FFXI with (he has full Samurai gear that looks disgustingly cute on small Tarutaru) and I thought about how I would do it. And I *remembered* this post.

Amazingly, the way I thought about doing it is exactly the same way the paper model way shows it. Of course, mine will end up all deformed 'n' stuff by the time it's done and will look nothing remotely like a Tarutaru, but it'll be fun.
