Fun fact about me: I was a very dumb child.
When I got my initial copy of "Pokémon Ruby", I named my trainer "Seth". My name is not Seth, so where that came from is a mystery to us in the present day.
I did, apparently, want to use my name somewhere in my game, and upon my recent cleaning and refurbishing of my childhood cartridge, I came across the gem that is my childhood Slaking; Mike.
Slaking is one of those designs that is both awesome, and insanely silly at the same time. I love the idea of this King Kong sloth being incredibly powerful and durable, but so lax that it needs to chill out between moves. Such an iconic character for me in the franchise, and as such, I needed to include him in my series of felt plush Pokémon based on my all time favorites.
Mikey (as I recently renamed him so that the two of us would not be confused for one another) is the last member of my party, and I will be posting a group shot of the whole squad in the days to come.
As for measurements, Mikey is 4" tall by 3.25" wide.
Thanks for checking out my work! Along with a few more felt plush I have created as gifts for friends and family, I am already hard at work on making my "Pokémon Champions" team in this form factor, so if you're enjoying these felt plush as much as I am, I have many more to keep sharing!
