You're a few months too late. They let Garth go some time back.


Poppaukko already answered this, but I'll give my own answer too. I have sent a scout lance after him to find out where he lives. He can't hide forever, the Cicada plushie will find its master sooner or later!

Is it wrong that reminded me of this Posted Image


Lol, that's very seductive indeed. :P

Also I imagine him doing an unboxing video and being super emotional (not to say that's a bad thing)
I'll say this again like when he was first let go; even though he wasn't the greatest at his job, hell even down right sucked at it some times. But he was the only one at PGI that made me feel like he cared about us and the game. I still think he cares more than most of PGI.


If he made an unboxing video, it would be great. Then we all could cry with him. ;)

Yes, I really think he deserves this because he really seemed to care about the community and the game. He is a great guy. I want to show him that we care about him too.

Wow! That's huge, Yawn. Great work!

How did you connect the various sections together? Sewn or something like velcro so you/he can leg the cicada and have it hobble around?


Thank you, DevilCrayon! I just used glass headed pins to connect them together temporarily. When it's time to connect them together permanently, I will sew them together. I won't use velcro on that, I will use it only when I start making a mech plushie that can have different looking arms so you can change them if you like to, for example. ;)

What an amazing piece of work! Very well done! :wub:

I always dreamed of having an plushie Archer myself. Cuddly and protecting my dreams with concentrated firepower!


Thank you, Ryoken! :ph34r: Awww, I knew this world needs more plushies!

Hello everyone!

I should probably let you all know why I haven't been updating this for a long time. Garth stopped answering my emails months ago, so he doesn't want the plushie anymore. Obviously that killed my motivation to sew the Cicada. I have also asked our community manager to change this topic's name to "The Cicada 2A Plushie", so no one would get confused because the name isn't "true" anymore. Now I have decided I should still finish this plushie, because it is going to look great! I will name it Garth of course.

Enough talk, now photos! :)

Round... things. I still need to make one big round thing and one small round thing. They will be sewed on the legs to give some detail.

The cockpit and round things are not sewed on yet. I also need to make the laser things!

That's it for now, I hope you enjoy the photos! :3

Sorry about that, sad news indeed. Oh well, I love it man. Cicada is still my favorite mech in game. Long live the swarm!

Thumbs up to a fellow Cicada lover.

You should push to get the CDA-3F in game too. ;)

I love it. Chuu make such awesome plushies. I dream of a Direwolf plushie watching over me, protecting me from a world that wants to hurt me, just like my bro used to. Direwolf was his favorite mech.

Just make sure this thing doesn't go near the servers! PGI is sure to have a professional exterminator on hand to prevent another "The Garth Incident".

Wow! Great work! It look so huggable. You should keep doing this but I'm not forcing you. Have fun with it!

If only I could sew so well -_-
