BobaFelt... awesome plush by Emily Beaulieu
Emily Beaulieu aka Follow The White Rabbit has been making handmade plush for some time now, and recently she was approached by Mark Austin, who played Boba Fett in the Special Edition of Star Wars: A New Hope! He asked her to make a plush Boba Fett, and she did... and what a cool story, kinda tough to write about it so I will let Emily tell you. Awesome job btw...
Emily's Story:
"Mark was an animator at ILM when he was asked to play Boba Fett in the new Mos Eisley docking bay sequence with Han Solo + Jabba The Hutt. He was already a huge Boba Fett fan prior to his role in the film, so having the chance to play his favourite character in the Star Wars legacy was amazing experience for him. I met Mark when we were animators on the movie G-Force at Sony Imageworks. Mark saw photos of my Princess Leia + R2D2 plush for the Stitch Wars plush show and asked me to create a plush based on his favourite Star Wars character. Boba Fett is by far my most detailed and time consuming plush doll to date, but I really enjoyed using image references so I could add lots of little detailed stitching. :)"
