Sackboy. Fo’ REAL.
We’re all totally in love with our little Sackboy character, we’ve spent a couple years watching him run, jump and slap his way though dozens of levels, and the little chap has so much personality we could almost believe he’s real.
So our collective jaws hit the floor when we saw what one of our artists MOTHERS had made, Silvia’s actually made Sackboy, for real, in all his knitted and stitched glory! It’s so good we wondered if we’d hired the right member of the family to work here! (Not really, her son is making artwork for the game that will blow you away) but we can certainly see where he gets his talent from..
So adorable. It makes me want to hug him so tightly that his zip bursts and his button eyes pop out. But I won’t.
And here he is in the Chinese dragon costume:
Just in time to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year!
Anyone else got anything to show?! 
Amazing, I’d have one!
A question: is Silvia italian? (Silvia’s a common italian name ;))
raziel | February 6th

Michael Burton | February 6th
You should create these cute Sackboys, they’d fly off the shelves. You should create a Limited edition LittleBigPlanet with a Sackboy included.

Linzoid | February 6th
You SO should make a collector’s edition with one of these little guys. It would be really awesome. This post is rockin’ at Kotaku. Congratz!
PS: Silvia’s also a common Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian and French name! Basically, any country whose language comes from Latin.
JMV | February 6th

Tony | February 6th

Sagge89 | February 6th
I’d love one of these! Have you got any plans to sell real sackboys or to release the plans so I can make one?
Linzoid | February 6th
good one mum. Which game is her son workin on?
wave | February 6th
woah… if you do a special edition of LBP with a sackboy of that level of quality with it, I’d buy it. Fo’ sure!
cubehouse | February 6th
This is amazing. I am so jealous! This would be a perfect Valentines gift! Media Molecule… I think you should start mass production for next Valentines ?
Tomas Gudmundsson | February 6th
<3 Sackboy
Holger | February 6th
Simply wonderful!!! Maybe you could sell a limited edition of LBP including this fantastic Sackboy!!! Sure I’ll preorder it!
TixSoul_Italy | February 6th
wow, just wow. Do you sell those? I would really want one. If you can just mail it to Australia that is
Joe | February 6th
This should definately be mass produced and included in the retail version, or a Collectors Edition. So Silvia, get workin’!
iLuvLBP | February 6th
hahaaha Awesome
nom | February 6th
those are so adorable, it’s almost too much to handle:P

P.S. can’t wait for the game:) i already have it pre-ordered!
Leah | February 6th
You guys should make a special edition of LittleBigPlanet and have a real sackboy with it. i would buy it.

I don’t suppose there is a pattern to make these is there? Because if there is I would love to have it!
Sheldon | February 7th
Wow, outstanding achievement.
It would be great to have one of these with a special version of the game !
It also proves (if it still needs to be proven) how much the game is already inspiring.
Keep up the good work, I admire you artists and mothers of artists.
The_monk | February 7th
adorable
Furmigaotora | February 7th
Cute overload. I need to own one with the dragon costume right now!
hello | February 7th
do you think she could share the pattern my grandmar wants to make them.
please email me at kage05@gmail.com if its alright to use her pattern
Kagr | February 7th
Massproduce it and I (and many more) shall buy it.:)
Kim | February 7th
I want one!! But if you do make them, please don’t make them as limited edition. Make them special edition so everyone who wants one can get one. Also, please release this in other countries as well. I’d hate not being able to get it just because I live in Australia.
Nibehlung | February 7th
To keep in the theme of “create” if Sackboy is mass marketed you should make it all white and give people the option to dye it themselves. Just a suggestion.
Donald Ade | February 7th
or get in with the “build-a-bear workshop company” http://www.buildabear.com/
and pull in the parents and kiddies by allowing them to go to the stores or to the site and customize their sackboy.
Donald Ade | February 7th
I want one!!!!!!!! , How much?! o_o

I would totally buy one of these, its adorable! And I can’t wait for the game!

You guys should included a custom sackboy virtual store within the game itself. When people want a real sackboy with their finish design in the game, you guys should have an ordering process like a “Sackboy Factory” or some sort to send custom orders through the game. It will be convenient for us and you. It could also sell more LBP games by saying “The only way to get the real sackboy is owning the game” or something like that. Just my thoughts……

gimme 1 now. lol
squadas99 | February 7th
so what came first? the perfectly scaled exact shaped star-spring-things? or the in game assets? also… the dragon’s eyes and pattern are a little too like the in game version for me to believe that this was made by a hobbyist. Either existed before the art assets (in which case kudos on basing your art on a really cool cuddly toy) or this has been manufactured. Either way, I think the consensus is that they’d be very popular. Maybe a little something to entice people to spend a little extra on the boxed version rather than the PSN download?
Oh and if I’m very wrong and Silvia did actually hand-make sackboy and all his bits and bobs, I apologise. Nice work… I have a sweater that needs darning, any chance I could send it? ;D
Dre | February 7th
Awesome, just awesome.
So… when will we be able to buy one?
ferruccio | February 7th
I just had to add my voice to this. Sackboy looks amazing! ‘Course, he also looks the sort of fellow not to be trusted in the office alone late at night.. just keep him away from the paper and glue if you value your walls!
Murray | February 7th
WE WANT SACKBOY!!!!!
Even those who don’t know the game would buy a sackboy. Every kid in the world want a sackboy. Customizable sackboy would sell like hotcake.

I know its been said, but you real ought to have your artist’s mother talk with Sony about putting this into mass production (not all by hand, of course, but using her pattern.)
These would sell like crazy, based on the internet response to this.
Evander | February 7th
Omg, i love them! Please sell them alongside the game somehow, they are AWESOME!
Crocadillian | February 7th
Yes please

great work!!! I tryed to make one but could not make the legs. ow well but I would definatly buy a lbp special adition if there was one!!
sam | February 7th
Darnit! She beat me to it! D: I’ve been planning on making on for about a year now. Oh well. Awesome job!
bob | February 7th
OK guys – you seriously have to pursue this. It looks like LBP has already surpassed what even you guys, and especially Sony could have envisioned. This could push it into cultural phenomenon territory. I am 35 (today actually – Happy Birthday to me!), married and even I want one of these – badly.
You must strike some sort of deal with a toy manufacturer to market these things. I hope Silvia has registered these toys as a trademark – or is about to – because she deserves to be a very rich woman.
You have to start selling these things. Make it happen.
Mort | February 7th
I have to have these!!! Please put these out for sale!! I don’t care how, I will buy both of these adorable sackboys.

Hey I don’t know if someone has suggested this, but can’t you guys make a collector’s edition of LittleBigPlanet and include one of these dolls with it? I am sure many people like me would pay extra for the collector edition! this is one game I just cannot wait to get my hands on, I swear I will camp if I must to get this game day one! ><

Please say this will be marketed too. I guarantee many purchases of Sackboy, and it’s many costumes. Not just my wife but for me and my whole family and friends. Limited edition or collector’s? I’ll take it!
Xyn3dy | February 8th
Please, please please please, hire someone making these as merchandise! And with the same love and passion your artist’s mother put into that little one above!
Luke | February 9th
You have to start selling these in Sweden as well… maybe if you buy the limited edition of LBP you’d get one or two in the box.

Come on, do not tease like that. Give us a little dude with a cool costume…or maybe the artist’s mom could make us all one

If you guys harass Sony Computer Entertainment of Europe enough so you can ship the games with one of these sackboys inside it you’d make a lot of money.
I know I’d pay up to $80 for it.
Or make it LM Edition :3

To Media Molecule, as a smaller company I know that you take your community’s comments very seriously, and as you can see, EVERYBODY wants a Sackboy! If you miss out on this marketing chance then you are fools!
Seriously, sell these with the game on release and you will make double the money!
The game looks AMAZING, but only true Playstation 3 owners have found out about it, marketing is going to need to be huge for you guys, most of my mates didn’t know what it was until I showed them!
MAKE MORE SACKBOYS AND SELL THEM!
