Summary
APokemonfan made an impressive jumbo Dragonite plush toy. With over 1,000 monsters in the series, manyPokemonfans love creating art inspired by their favorite characters.
Dragonite is a Dragon/Flying Pokemon from Generation 1, and the final evolutionary form of Dratini and Dragonair. In the latest mainline games,Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Dragonite is usually seen flying around an island somewhere in the ocean, and is also able to fly around the globe in only 16 hours. Many Dragon Pokemon-loving fans consider Dragonite as their favorite because it’sone of the strongest from the original 151 Pokemon, and its imposing yet cute appearance.
Dragonite has been the inspiration of manyPokemonfan creations, including a jumbo plush toy made by Reddit user umbratundra. The impressive toy is 2-feet tall and described as “a cross between a sculpture and a plush” made with a 3D-printed resin head and fuzzy fur for its exterior. They also uploaded a YouTube video showing the process of making the Dragonite plush, from painting the head to trimming the excess fuzz off the fur. ThePokemonfan also noted that the Dragonite plush is sturdy and poseable, but still very huggable.
