Super Mario Craft: Waluigi Crochet Amigurumi Plush

Today we’re showcasing another fine piece of amigurumi craftsmanship (yeah we didn’t know what “amigurumi” was either until starwars.com told us): a Waluigi crochet plush! But today we stand better informed, thanks to the R2D2 artist herself, who had apparently heard of this term but had neglected to tell us when we showcased her R2D2 crochet plush toy last year. Shame on us, what kind of lousy geeks are we? So apparently amigurumi refers to the art of cutesy crochet craft of animals or characters. At any rate, this Super Mario Bros themed craft is another wonderfully cute amigurumi from the same craftswoman, who had help from the same person who cut out Artoo’s laser-precise felt detail.
We love Super Mario Bros just as much as we love Star Wars so don’t make us pick a favorite. Waluigi might be a bit of a polarizing character since he and Wario are kind of the bad guys in the later Super Mario series but we adore him just the same. This Waluigi crochet doesn’t have the detail intricacies as R2D2 but his body shape was much harder to crochet. Waluigi has the requisite pink nose, backwards “L” emblems on his hat and gloves, and the same insidious smile and mustache. From what we can tell, Waluigi is actually two pieces–the upper body which starts with the cap and ends with a round belly, and his overalls which actually wrap over his arms and belly and has his legs attached.
If you look closely enough, you’ll see the Waluigi shares Artoo’s glass bead eye and while very faithful to the real thing, has one small anomaly. We won’t give it away, but if you catch it you can make a guess in the comments. We didn’t even know about it until the artist informed us about this minor embarrassment.
Oh and Artoo says beep…
