LittleBigPlanet: Sackboy is a real Prince!

He’s adorable, sometimes a bit of a Snake, on occasion a Street Fighter, and as Phil pointed out yesterday, Sackboy joined the Helghast! This time he steps into the real world as the modern rendition of the Prince of Persia, courtesy of Maggie Wang.

What some would pay a huge amount of money to buy in the shops, artist Maggie Wang does out of love not only for the source material but the craft itself.

“What I like about making these dolls is that each one presents a new challenge that keeps things fresh. This week’s project was to transform the latest Prince of Persia into a Sackboy, sword, clawed gauntlet, hair, clothing, and all.

It took longer than any of the other dolls I’ve made, but it was well worth the effort. I got to glue gun some polymer clay onto yarn for the first time, too.”

Head on over to her site to see more of her Sackboy creations including an amazing version of Hellboy, as well as Mr. Spock from Star Trek.  She also accepts commissions to create custom Sackboys, so get your PayPal details handy.  I know I am!
