Animal Crossing\u2019s Stitches literally comes to life as adorable plush NintendoA skilled Animal Crossing fan has transformed fan-favorite bear Stitches into a real-life plush toy just in time for New Horizons on the Nintendo Switch. Stitches has been a long-time character in the life simulation series, his first appearance being in Wild World for the DS in 2005. He is a lazy-type bear made to look like a patchwork child\u2019s teddy, and it\u2019s his cute image that has made him such a hit with fans. Because the franchise is so popular, Nintendo has made countless merchandise from stationery, apparel, console accessories, and more. Several characters have even gotten officially licensed plush toys \u2013 something you\u2019d think would be only natural for the bear. It has never happened though, at least not in a permanent form, so a fan took matters into her own hands. Adorable Animal Crossing plush On February 10, user \u2018Courtnipie\u2019 shared her cute creation to the Animal Crossing subreddit. If Stitches could jump out of the screen, he would truly look like this in real life \u2013 it\u2019s so realistic! Every single detail is nailed to perfection, including all of his multicolored patchwork stitching which must have taken hours to sew together and stuff. Even the villager\u2019s cross eyes are accurate, and breathe life into the toy. In the games, the lazy-type wears a Star Tee shirt \u2013 something that the talented fan also made for her plush, making him look even cuter\u2026 If that\u2019s possible. In a surprise twist, Stitches\u2019 head, arms, and legs are jointed, meaning they can all be moved and positioned into different poses, making the creation even more true to the game. Animal Crossing isn\u2019t the only series Courtnipie has taken on \u2013 she\u2019s also made plush toys of characters from popular games and movies such as Pokemon, Digimon, and How to Train Your Dragon. According to her website, the talented maker has over 17 years of experience with drawing and illustrating and over 10 years with sewing, making it no surprise that she\u2019s so skilled at her craft. She also has an Etsy store where she sells various plushes, and even has the option for custom orders in the future. Animal Crossing: New Horizons comes out on Nintendo Switch on March 20, after an agonizing seven year wait for the next mainline entry in the series. There\u2019s also a limited edition console releasing too, alongside a plethora of different accessories, meaning fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
