Animated Cult Cartoon Toys

This Awesome Adventure Time BMO Toy is Lively

— June 8, 2013 — Art & Design
Cult cartoon fans are bound to swoon over this DIY Adventure Time BMO plush toy. BMO is the lovable walking talking video game player from The Comedy Network’s hit show Adventure Time. This awesome DIY cartoon creation is also animated, which should definitely please fans of the show.

Instructables user ‘Shift’ is the creator of this awesome cartoon toy. He made this smile-inducing BMO out of felt and made it so that this beloved character's face is interchangeable. He even made a BMO screen with the Instructables logo on it. One of the character’s interchangeable faces has colored bars on it, like a TV would when it’s experiencing technical difficulties. These face-change options are definitely cute.

Shift, who also makes Nintendo and Lego-themed toys and decorations, is a lover of all things geeky and wonderful. His soft felt Adventure Time plush toy will likely be popular with kids and young adults alike.
