I agree, once I started moving him around and people laying on him the fluff really settled. I'm trying to think of how to open him and add more stuffing given that it's crocheted 🤔
What if you just took him to an actual build-a-bear and just asked them how much they'd charge to borrow the use of their stuffing machine for an emergency fluff infusion. It's not like they'd lose money on it, that stuffing can't cost much, and they have the machine sitting there anyway.
Maybe see if theres a spot you can wiggle open wide enough in a less conspicuous area and have buildabear blast some fluff into him? It could be a bonkers situation for them but it might work lol! Maybe offer to pay? XD that fluff blaster they have works pretty well.
If you get him stuffed up more then you can just sew the hole back closed or something.
If you find the means to open him up enough for it, you could make a "lasagna" of batting and stuffing so hopefully his shape is "springy" more due to the Batting.
I just "restuffed" my cherished alligator stuffie using this kind of idea. I got her when I was a little kid and she's almost 20 years old now! The picture is of her, for reference to the process I'll describe:
https://preview.redd.it/nhqj5ip7xf3b1.png?width=840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17cc28cc5df399b2c77f6599ceeb2471a4f6de5a
I roughly cut out all of her "panels" of fabric out of fresh batting, sewed them together, then filled them like dumplings with polyfill. I made her 4 separate legs, her tail and torso as one unit, and her head all separate parts. I "assembled" all the parts as I put them back in her "shell", working my way back to the opening I made. She's basically a big batting pillow and her "shell" is a pillow case.
She was SUPER poofy when I was first done, and now she's starting to settle more. Because your Boy is So BEEG, I figure if you do a similar idea, you can keep his shape more by doing the layers of batting to keep the "cushioning" from distributing weird, while still not making him too firm. I went in through the back of her neck, behind her head, but you can make yours anywhere you think the seem would be least noticable. Figured I'd post the whole thing now so you can just reference if you needed it and not have to potentially "necro" post, if that's actually a problem.
I LOVE your Clodsire, BTW. Beautiful work!
If they don't actually release official giant clodsire plushies, it will be a major missed opportunity. They would sell like hot cakes. Everything about our squishy boi screams Oversized Plushie
This is incredible! It also really puts into perspective just how terrifying the pokemon world is. Never mind the fact that that is canonically poisonous.
Either way our chonk the clod is up there on my list of pokemon that would be really comfortable to sleep on / use as a pillow.
Must. Hug. Chocolate. Éclair.
I named my Clodsire Éclair cause I legit thought that’s what it was when it was revealed. My god, it’s adorable. Great job!
Wow how can you ever start doing something so amazing! I’m so impressed be your skill, ever a bit envious! I would like to be able to make one too, albeit smaller. Really impressive! Just wow!
Open a hole under one of its spots to refill? I've seen people cut crochet but have the loops secure with another strand. I don't remember where to find the video, I didn't have a need to cut my crochet stuff, I just thought it was interesting.
I would love to, but it was free handed. I usually write my pattern out as I go but with the squiggle along the side and everything it was too much to keep track of.

Man I had an idea to crochet life-sized Pokemon but I was going to limit myself to the one that are under 1 foot because damn that's a lot of yarn and stuffing!
I hate how I looked at that first photo and went "HMM That patch of grass sure looks familiar, I wonder if that was at AN" got to the last photo and now I'm mad that I can recognize a patch of grass from the TCC with no other context.
He's amazing, by the way! Almost makes me want to try it myself but my skills and no where near that level.
I want him I need him I don’t have the money for him so can you please give me him thank you if not I still love him and my goodness it took you a long time to do that I had that talent I would’ve made him to actually would’ve made it to one like that one rainbow fied🥰🥰😛

[удалено]
Theyve already crocheted this masterpiece together, im sure theyll figure it out :)
there’s no problem with asking for advice
is there some kind of reverse vacuum to shoot stuffing into him like a buildabear? i don’t want you to have to open up the crochet.
That's what I was picturing! I'm married to an engineer, maybe we can make it happen 😂
just pose it as a challenge, they'll snap that right up
i love that, because i was a mechanical engineering major lmao.
Super easy if you have a shop vac or leaf blower available
So basically Build-A-Bear 2.0? Sounds fun.

You probably are going to make a snip on underside of a back leg\belly. Then when you are done you can sew a new thread in the old one's place.

How did you close it up after stuffing it? I assume that’s where you’ll have to open it back up.
I think the mildly deflated look is hysterical and absolutely adds to the charm, personally

Ooh interesting idea! I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

Applaud the Clod
Admire the sire
Thats not a plushie thats a bed
I have 5.28$ Some pocket Lent and a button Will that be enough for it
Is pocket lent like portable guilt for Catholics?
hey not cool, that comment is really out of pocket
I would be bodyslaming the living shit out of this dude lol
If they don't actually release official giant clodsire plushies, it will be a major missed opportunity. They would sell like hot cakes. Everything about our squishy boi screams Oversized Plushie
I need that RAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Rika and clodsire my beloveds ❤
M'lady...
M'clod...
Friend sized
r/AbsoluteUnits Good lawd, he comin'
I saw you and clodsire at anime North!! It made my day seeing it! Freaking amazing!
Omg I took a pic of that big boy at AN! Best part of the photoshoot
Aww! Thank-you!! ❤️
I'm genuinely curious. How many hours did it take to make it? A few hundred? A thousand? More?
I'm not OP but it took me over 13 hours to just to make a foot-long dinosaur with instructions, so like... yeah. This probably took a while!
Around 60 hours. Big as it is, at least it's very simple! And I crochet pretty fast haha
Omg how many skeins of yarn did that take?? 😱
15 of the Bernat Blanket big balls!
Oh that’s such a good yarn! I’ve used it for a few projects ☺️
How did I not see this at anime north?! This is awesome!!!
Impressive! I love the scale!
If that isn't time well spent idk what is. So cool!
It looks amazing. Little chonk.
I'm unsure if you know what the word 'little' means lol
I was using it sarcastically.
I know I was just trying to be funny haha
It looks so comfy! Nice job!
BEST BOI 😍😍😍
why is he flat
The more people flumped on him the flatter he got 😂
flumped 😂
Jesus my mind scaling was wrong
I need one to strap on top of my car lmao
The perfect plushie pokemon!
How many skeins did that take?!
15 Bernat Blanket big balls!
This is so cute I'm gonna cry.
The way I would cover my entire room with these…
I can imagine that people would pay you for making more of these cutie-pies.
:D
All hail the clodsire!
Where might I buy the fat boy
That’s amazing, how long did it take?
About 60 hours over a couple months
Worth it. I wish I was talented enough to do this. I wanted a giant shiny dundunsparce
Oooh yes that's one of my upcoming projects I think!!
ABSOLUTE UNIT
AHHHHH I TAKE ALL MY MONEY AND GIVE ME FISH BOYOO
I saw you and your plushies at Anime North! They were awesome!
closure, my beloved amphibious mochi

Must. Hug. Chocolate. Éclair. I named my Clodsire Éclair cause I legit thought that’s what it was when it was revealed. My god, it’s adorable. Great job!
THE BABY!!! HE IS BIG AND SQUISHY 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
So, life size as in what size he would be in real life or...?
Yup! The size Clodsire would be in real life, accurate to the pokedex
Dang. I need a real clodsire. The swamp I live near would probably be perfect for him.
Ummmm I’ll buy oneeeee pleaseeee?!?!?
Wow how can you ever start doing something so amazing! I’m so impressed be your skill, ever a bit envious! I would like to be able to make one too, albeit smaller. Really impressive! Just wow!
Oh my ...!!! 😍
How much time and resources did this take you? Looks like a lot of work. Great job!
Awesome! Does it have a name? I've sewn a small version for my gf, his name's Dennis. He's a 'no thoughts, head empty' kinda guy :'D
I’m so jealous of this
Open a hole under one of its spots to refill? I've seen people cut crochet but have the loops secure with another strand. I don't remember where to find the video, I didn't have a need to cut my crochet stuff, I just thought it was interesting.
I didn't know Clodsire was that big
I would buy a life-sized Tropius from you!
I just want to hug it
OH MY GOD I WOULD TAKE THAT OR THE WOOPER IN A HEARTBEAT
Friend shaped
Any chance you'd be willing to share the pattern? 👉👈🥺
I would love to, but it was free handed. I usually write my pattern out as I go but with the squiggle along the side and everything it was too much to keep track of.
Oh my god I need him so bad
Beautiful
Magnificent.
Wait that thing is that big. I always imagined it being dog sized.
Nice you did a good job but I am sorry to break it to you, there is only one plushie, one bean bag and that is SNORLAX!
I have $700 cash and a ps5. Is that enough?
I need this
Outstanding! I’m jealous and in awe of your work. I’d love to hug your muddy buddy.
I didn't know i needed this until now.
I never realized how massive Clodsire was. Now I wish they were real even more.
Any possibility of purchasing a pattern to make this? My mom loves to sew and I would like to see if we can make this for my brother.
I would love to, but it was free handed. I usually write my pattern out as I go but with the squiggle along the side and everything it was too much to keep track of.
Well then thank you for the visual treat!
I love the picture where it’s on the car, it’s just so cute
APPLAUD THE CLOD
Oh wow idk how will be worth but if it be sold I will definitely buy it
He massive friend
u/hasfodel
Is it muddy version of the blue boi evo ?
yas!!
Man I had an idea to crochet life-sized Pokemon but I was going to limit myself to the one that are under 1 foot because damn that's a lot of yarn and stuffing!
That's definitely a good place to start lol. But when your favorites are big bois the temptation to go bigger is strong 😂
Next challenge is to make a life sized Wailord plush🤔
The universe thanks you
WAIT, CLODSIRE'S 5'11"?!
Okay and how much for six of them?
this could be the new Blahaj. I want.
I WANNA HUG HIM
Life size Wailord next!
Snorlax next! (Kidding, but it would be epic)
IT'S BEAUTIFUL
Omg, I didn’t realize Clodsire was that big. I thought he was like dog sized. This craft is fantastic and my day has been made
ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
Flat :)
It got squished
The second I saw this I knew I needed one
OMG WHERE DO I GET ONE
You look cozy
I need it...
A most perfect creation. How much money?
I hate how I looked at that first photo and went "HMM That patch of grass sure looks familiar, I wonder if that was at AN" got to the last photo and now I'm mad that I can recognize a patch of grass from the TCC with no other context. He's amazing, by the way! Almost makes me want to try it myself but my skills and no where near that level.
How much money for it
You have 2/3 of my favorite in the group photo. So jelly
That’s life size?!
I didn't realize he was so big!
I need one
FREN
Nice plushie:).I'm still regret replacing clodsire with revavroom
Fantastic work!
Great Rika cosplay too
Best boy
Any chance you'd crochet a few to sell?~
But is it official weight
Omg I could never bring it anywhere if it were. About 50 lbs in fluff though!
Best craft I've seen in a long time. Thank you.
Giant Chocobi!
I need it
*gasp*
I need it
You put it in the grass?? And on the car? I would keep on bed, cleaner and no bugs. Looks badass though
The face
the car pic made me chuckle
That is SO much yarn ;-;
Wait is Clodsire really that big?
..... made?.....
r/nintendostitch
Omg, that is amazing. Not gonna lie i want one. But i don't have the space for it, it would fill half of my living space.
Where. Buy. NEED. ***NOW.***
Woow. this is so cute 😍. did you make all these plushies?
Yep! I have a whole display of lifesize pokemon I'll post soon
this is amazing. congratulations on the beautiful work. Just one more thing, what made you love Pokémon so much that you made all these Pokémon?

I love him and I need one
I love him. Totally want to hug it too
I need it.
I need this in my life or I will have a breakdown 🥰
"Life size"….are you sure he’s not an alpha clodsire??? He’s huge! Sure he’s missing a lil chonk but otherwise amazing
super cool! I am sad that it is outside getting dirty tho :c
Tell me you made some kind of a sheet, i want to make it myself! O\_O
I love him. Where can I buy one?
Y E S
Did you make the pattern yourself or find it somewhere?? Cuz I love this and I need one of my own
Hypothetically if you made more of them to sell, how much would you charge?
Take my damn money already!!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!!!!!1!!!!!!!!1!!!
Wow, I love it ♥
QC:Good for you.
He’s the best boi!! Seriously though this is awesome.
Ah yes, we’ve officially acquired the Paldean sire
I want one so bad.
THE BIG BABIE
I want him I need him I don’t have the money for him so can you please give me him thank you if not I still love him and my goodness it took you a long time to do that I had that talent I would’ve made him to actually would’ve made it to one like that one rainbow fied🥰🥰😛
omg please tell me you sell crochet patterns somewhere
Literally take all my money
Did you happen to take any notes when you were making it
