I have browesed through the website and seen that several of you have Plex come to the party and all of you guys say it's home made. My daughters birthday is September 4, 2010 and I would like to have Plex at her party too. Can you guys give me hint, tips, ideas on how to make my own life size Plex, please?

I found a Plex costume someone made from scratch, and they posted a pretty thorough video on Youtube:

I'd personally switch out the square trash can for a round one or even one of those cardboard fiber drums, but that's just me. The video doesn't show the arms or legs, but you could make sleeves and pants out of some silver fabric and quilt it so it has that segmented look to it (be sure to make them a little longer at first to account for the quilting). Then I'd say you could make the hands and feet from either cardboard or plastic sheets (like "For Sale" signs).

Be sure to post pictures when it's finished!

Notable Quotes

"My kids [Stella, 22 months, and Liam, 3] are obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba! It's a dream to guest on the show and do a dance-y dance!"

-Tori Spelling, actress

"I love YO GABBA GABBA. I don't care what you say, DJ Lance, Muno, Brobee, Foofa, Toodee and Plex have taught my daughter many valuable lessons--like the desirability of napping, for one. Not to throw objects at Daddy's skull. Not biting. The value of 'trying again' and 'not giving up.' All set to surprisingly weird, offbeat songs which--in another venue and with other lyrics, one might find oneself enjoying at a club. They get good indie bands as guests, and Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO is a regular. I know every song and every lyric by heart."

-Anthony Bourdain, host of No Reservations
