Just the basics for you to edit as you please!
A basic amigurumi human base for you to edit into your own characters. If you click through the photos above you can see two of my edits - Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games and Ajani Goldman from Magic the Gathering (also to be given their own pages).
Go crazy, edit it how you like! I will make a female version soon too.
