A Boy And His Sculpey Blob

Capturing the cuteness of Wayforward's character designs for the forthcoming WiiWare remake of A Boy and His Blob as his inspiration, Appy molded Sculpey polymer clay to form the titular characters into these accurate models.

Have you seen the remake lately? It's super adorable, with details like the boy calling out "Blooob!" or "Heeyyyy!" when he wants his companion to come to him, or hugging the blob to calm him down (there's even a dedicated button for that, Wayforward promises).

Appy has several other interesting Sculpey creations in this Flickr photostream, such as this female version of Team Fortress 2's Engineer class:
