(Version III): Printable Pattern and Tutorial Variant. After discovering an image of the MNOG Macku doll thanks to BS01, I decided to attempt an accurate set of the dolls. But with bonus bellybuttons for added fun! I believe I made over +4? test subjects with major alterations while comparing my plush shapes to BS01 images in a collage app. Then two actual fabric test version pairs. And the final set of six! One oddball darker Hewkii due to limited fabric. Fabric is mainly upcycled from formal wear pants/jackets/skirts. Leather eyes from jacket, some new fabrics and fresh and fluffy poly-fill. The assembly on these 12 took ~180hrs total over two months. So about 30hrs per pair. Updated Instructable with free printable pattern & tutorial (updated portion begins at Step 40, all info & images over there.): I have not tested this Version III pattern scaled to 100%, as I opted for a bigger batch. https://www.instructables.com/Hewkii-Macku-Dolls-BIONICLE-MNOG-Inspired-Plush-To/ For non-commercial/personal use only, please. All characters are copyright of LEGO. Some small material abnormalities on a couple of these due to upcycled fabric, as well as the difficulty of detail work in the mini size (I’m afraid a little lopsided in some!). Some of my ladderstitches and knots are possibly peeking out also! Oh well, apologies for imperfect execution, but sewn with love! Made as gifts. I'm keeping 1 pair for possible future sewing reference. (Done over the sickest months in my life I’ve ever somehow survived. Medical emergencies & a daily downhill health spiral. Started as a distraction, and I daresay the endeavor has hugely helped keep me alive while driving me a bit mad!) Thank you to this community for being so inspiring. Would love to see if anyone tries the pattern, especially at full size! Best wishes for you from the Build-A-Bionicle crew!

Greetings! My second attempt at Hewkii and Macku has been made. A very happy time I had with this one, but now, after 90 assembly hours post-drafting for this sixsome, there are a million canonical-copycat changes I crave to carry out! Oh well, time will tell! Tutorial and pattern for this version at least, with more project info & pictures that I fear is redundant if also typed here! https://www.instructables.com/Hewkii-Macku-Dolls-BIONICLE-MNOG-Inspired-Plush-To/ Best wishes for you and your stitches! Update: V3 patterns in progress, scans: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAQV6L

So, does everybody remember how in the old MNOLG game, Hewkii and Macku each had plushies of each other in their huts, like above?Well, I was playing through the game, and, like the Bionicle nerd I am, had to wonder if anyone had actually created their own. I've searched the web and found nothing but some old kits and random pictures. If not, I would be interested in buying one from someone who had the time and skill to make one . Plus, possibly something else. :)So, anyone have one?And if this topic could go somewhere else, please move it. I wasn't quite sure where it would go.
