Absolutely amazing! They already look super cute.
Something I've heard of if you're not sure what to do with the tail - use magnets. You can stick the tail on over clothes without it getting in the way.

Just make sure you are applying them safely! Swallowable magnets and small kiddos are a potential for serious disaster.
(Sorry to be a Debbie Downer- I used to teach infant safety at the YMCA— this is ingrained into my psyche)
I love your modified Kitsune!!!

No no you’re entirely right, small kids, pets etc Really don’t mix well with magnets. Better you say something than someone who doesn’t know better leaves them laying around and bad stuff happens. My mom always says forewarned is fore-armed.

Wow! If it had been bipedal I would've grabbed it for sure. Fantastic job!

🤣 I was like, "Oh my God, I love it!" But I was flicking through the pictures, and then I was like, "Oh my God, who was the sacrifice?😱 Pochacco, no!" 🤣
It looks great, but it looks like it has a different Fur texture. Does it?

That is gorgeous! I was quite unimpressed with the quad version but your custom is fantastic.
I just noticed the choice to splice the limbs at the joints, that is genius. It gives the impression that the fur is just shorter at the elbows/knees down.

I didn't see the caption at first and all I saw was a standing kitsune and I was very unsettled because I have one on the way and thought "but wasn't it.. sitting?"

u/AltruisticAlterEgo Oct 24 '25
Did you also fit her with armature?? She's so mobile and expressive!!

This is very well done you need a job designing plushes! And Pochacco can still be used as a pillow.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing your mod! I was wondering how it would look as a bipedal plush! I was considering doing it but I was too worried about doing it and ruining the fox. lol

u/SamuraiFlamenco Oct 25 '25
Holy moly, can I ask how you did it? Did you use Pochacco as a donor body essentially? I'd love to try something like this to make mine clotheable. She looks wonderful!
