Talk about cultural shock... I got a lil' moto because I could not* stand the inconsistent schedule on a shitty train line (really not modern, questionable a/c, a bit open, so you have... lower quality of passengers, let's put it).
I was originally expecting it to cost quite a bit more than that, but considering the body was multiple pieces that made it considerably easier to make. If that was all contiguous the design and effort needed to have it hold together properly would probably cost twice as much or more (not to mention getting it home).
I'm typing this out at the start of the video: guess of the price is $1800 Me when the breakdown came up: LET'S GOOOO Me when the breakdown kept going..........oh. oh no.
Child me would have been thrilled to have a room in my house big enough to fit that! Adult me still thinks it's nice but for the past 6 years I've been moving residences so much [rent keeps on going up, wages don't, got disowned, etc.] that it'd be just another series of heavy things to carry. Looks great in any case. Also to answer the question of life sized plush - Honchkrow. Been meaning to make one forever for a Giovanni cosplay, but it's never panned out. And maybe also one of the old style fat Pikachu.
This makes me imagine people in the Pokemon world who selectively breed Onix as small as possible to create like, the Chihuahua version of Onix that's only 8 feet long or something
As someone who has made stuffed animals life sized onyx would definitely be super ridiculously expensive if they’re charging you a fair amount for their work
As soon as you wanted us to guess how much this cost you, I said out loud, "Oh, thousands of dollars. Easily." I've seen much smaller commissioned detailed plushies go for $300. That thing is MASSIVE. Just the work and materials alone... I'll see just how high it goes. I say at least $2k USD?
I saw the end and I have to say... okay, I wasn't that far off! I was doing Price is Right rules in my head, haha. Worth it. Plushie making is such an involved craft and it always has a lot of heart put into it with creators like that. 💖
When he said it was the most expensive thing he'd ever purchasd my brain immediately jumped to ridiculous PC prices and car prices making me think it was $10k minimum Thats actually a surprisingly good price all things considered
Yeah, we have a 49 € tickert for all regional trains in Germany for an entire month (there are cheaper one day tickets) and I've been on vacation to the Netherlands by train and spend like 29 € for a one day regional train ticket for the entire country. Must have used express trains or missed the cheapest options, would have expected around 60 € pP for the entire ride through both countries :D
I'm a plush maker so I guessed around $3,000 USD cuz I wasn't sure what the exchange rate was or what an artist in Germany would charge lol Also I saw this cuz Chie posted about it! Glad to finally see the video :D
As someone without a driver's license, I respect the creativity, and I can assure you...those are roughly the same steps I would have taken to get it home too. XD
that's an amazing Onix! and the way you told your story as having to go there to get it was incredible as well, it was almost as if you were adopting it hahahaha that was such a cool adventure :)
THIS IS EVERYTHING TO ME OH MY GOD WE'VE WAITED SO LONG I LOVE HIM!!!! He's shaped like a friend :))) The only thing is now you're gonna need a life sized cloyster so he doesn't get lonely 🥺🥺
I want the spheal, and the snorlax, and the garchomp, and the wailord, and the lucario, and the larvesta, and the money to afford them all so I can buy clothes that haven't holes in them ;-;
4 uur vertraging maar. Valt reuze mee. Wees blij dat je niet in de herfst was gegaan dna had het halve trein netwerk plat gelegen haha. Wel een gave onix!
It looks really great. I wonder how long it took to craft. and if the maker will ever be able to make another round plushy again or if they are scarred for life
For now 😏 I've been working on a giant plush for my Onix loving spouse, and this video got me so excited to start on it for him 🥰 She did a great job!!
Which life-size Pokemon plush would you love to own? c:
Wailord
Rillaboom
Arcanine 🥹
Clodsire or Quagsire
a diglet, that way i can see the rest of its body
Dont let SmallAnt see this video. He'll feel challenged and we end up with a 30 feet tall Wooper
that'd be sick though
I was so confused by the multiple bags at first because I expected one, continuous, plush, but it being segmented makes so much more sense
Yeah, I thought the rocks would be connected, but I guess they wouldn't be able to rotate or bend into different shapes like Onyx's segments can.
People who are not from Germany dont understand that the happy voice on "only 4 hours of train delay" was actually real.
Talk about cultural shock... I got a lil' moto because I could not* stand the inconsistent schedule on a shitty train line (really not modern, questionable a/c, a bit open, so you have... lower quality of passengers, let's put it).
Meanwhile in Japan ...
It's sad how not punctual Germany's trains are. :(
Unless you watch Jet Lag, then you know all too well.
But if you didn’t take the train you couldn’t have been the weirdo on the train with too many bags! So worth it!
exactly!
Please let us have your outfit 🙏
Onix on the couch looks like it wants to say "draw me like one of your Kalos Pokémon"
I was originally expecting it to cost quite a bit more than that, but considering the body was multiple pieces that made it considerably easier to make. If that was all contiguous the design and effort needed to have it hold together properly would probably cost twice as much or more (not to mention getting it home).
Of course he’d have trouble passing through the turnstiles, steel is supereffective against rock!
I'm typing this out at the start of the video: guess of the price is $1800
Me when the breakdown came up: LET'S GOOOO
Me when the breakdown kept going..........oh. oh no.
lmao Tones
I'm not used to seeing Chris's face from other angles, nor in daylight hahaha
Traveling with all the bags makes you look like you've been unceremoniously kicked out of your apartment xD
It's either me or your Onix!
-- Chris' now ex-girlfriend
The fact that you been talking about this for years and finally did it makes me so damn happy to see it! Damn that guy is big!
the gmod collision sounds as the gate tried to keep you out was perfect
Child me would have been thrilled to have a room in my house big enough to fit that!

cant wait for the runback when they announce onix form in ZA
5:05 i have never seen such a happy Person in my life. Made my day.
I want a life size Gyarados plush, he’s one of my favorite water types and having a giant one would be sick.
4:08 - german engineering at its finest.
Considering Chris got off the train in the Netherlands, I'm not sure the artist is German.
@@DemPudelSeinKern 1:12 - "Long story short, i found a plush-maker in germany that..."
@@DemPudelSeinKern I was surprised too but apparently Chris lives in the Netherlands and went to Germany for the plush
@@DemPudelSeinKern They definitely are German since they had German words on a sign and they have a German accent
I imagine a life-sized Wailord plush would be making a small blimp with felt over it.
The mad lad actually did it
6:02 I burst into laughter so hard that I scared both of the cats sleeping on me, it's so hilariously absurd 😂 Not sketchy at all, alright 😂

Wow, chieplush did so much work to make it look authentic. Props!
This is incredible. Shout out to the artist - what an amazing job!
I was laughing when you said 700$, i figured it would be at least 2k but almost 4k holy smokes! that thing is sick tho!
When he said it was the most expensive thing he'd ever purchasd my brain immediately jumped to ridiculous PC prices and car prices making me think it was $10k minimum
Thats actually a surprisingly good price all things considered
I'm honestly more shocked by the public transportation cost.
Yeah, we have a 49 € tickert for all regional trains in Germany for an entire month (there are cheaper one day tickets) and I've been on vacation to the Netherlands by train and spend like 29 € for a one day regional train ticket for the entire country.
Must have used express trains or missed the cheapest options, would have expected around 60 € pP for the entire ride through both countries :D
international trains get pricey!
I'm a plush maker so I guessed around $3,000 USD cuz I wasn't sure what the exchange rate was or what an artist in Germany would charge lol
Also I saw this cuz Chie posted about it! Glad to finally see the video :D
Now you just gotta bring it to all the different GDQ and ESA events where you have pokemon runs. Its gonna be great! :D
Now you gotta get a steelix version 👍
Remember the red/blue dex entry. Onix grows a new boulder each year, like a tree's rings.
This video deserves sooooo much more attention 😂 amazing work chrism
We need a lifesize gyarados plusie
Exactly, that would be dope
As someone without a driver's license, I respect the creativity, and I can assure you...those are roughly the same steps I would have taken to get it home too. XD
Chie did amazing!
Absolutely amazing
no one can say Chris doesn't commit to the bit
they look like body bags on the train 😭😭
As a Men with "only" a life sized Snorlax, I respect your greatness!
You have the longest tiny Onix, greater than what I've ever imagined to see.
Holy snap. The final price was a lot lower than what I had expected!
That is a man who is very very happy to have a life size onix.
I made a life size sneasel and everyone i know loves her.
Your onix is awesome and I admire the plush so much. Great craftsmanship!
that's an amazing Onix! and the way you told your story as having to go there to get it was incredible as well, it was almost as if you were adopting it hahahaha that was such a cool adventure :)
I remember hearing you talk about this on stream like a year ago, lmao. So sick that the day has finally come.
I had to do it
Pet rock evolved
Kudos to travel the hard way for 'content' lmao 😂
It looks amazing, well worth it
gotta do it for the content heh
5:04 average Dutch weather and train moments
Onix is the best friend you never knew you needed
Imagine just randomly seeing Chris with a massive Onix head and 8+ ikea bags 😂
This was probs the single funniest video I ever ever seen 😂
Chris this is awesome! Sad that I missed the reveal stream but I’m so happy for you!
I love how much joy this brought you!
"The day only blessed us with rain and 4 hours of train delays". Yup that's NS alright.
THIS IS EVERYTHING TO ME OH MY GOD WE'VE WAITED SO LONG I LOVE HIM!!!! He's shaped like a friend :)))
The only thing is now you're gonna need a life sized cloyster so he doesn't get lonely 🥺🥺
Not gonna lie, that's considerably less than I thought it would cost for the labor alone. I guessed more than double!
That onix might be the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life
the b rolls where like a pokemon trainer going to the pokemon center with his onix
5:55 hahahaha omg that's so disturbing 😂😂😂 better watch out Chris or Detective Pikachu will be on your ass🎉
A life size Snorelax, but make it a bean bag chair.
What a legend. No, not Chris, the Onix
I love this! Onix is my all time favorite pokemon. Super awesome to see a life size one! Even if it's a tiny version of the pokemon.
9:23 has to be a new profile picture somewhere!
Congrats! Just your sheer happiness in the video shows me it was definitely worth it 🤗
Yes! Thank you!
Now ask her if she'd do a shiny version.
This is like every weebs trip to Japan personified. The chaos is real, but in Europe now lol
My mouth was actually gaping wide open when the Onix first came in frame that thing is massive and amazing :o
I want the spheal, and the snorlax, and the garchomp, and the wailord, and the lucario, and the larvesta, and the money to afford them all so I can buy clothes that haven't holes in them ;-;
Nice of her to speak English with you for the video...
I bet the onix costed 1 million dollars
Edit: aww man, I got it wrong. Still an AMAZING plushie though.
Damn. I was actually close with my guess! I guessed £3000 for it.
now do a life size inflatable Wailord at the biggest possible size
This is actually the greatest thing ive seen all day
That was awesome! Also the Pokemon remix outro was fire
Chie did such a magnificent job with it!
With Chrism sounding like prism..I should have known you'd be a Rock type gym leader lol
So cool this video needs to be seen by so many more 😂
4 uur vertraging maar. Valt reuze mee. Wees blij dat je niet in de herfst was gegaan dna had het halve trein netwerk plat gelegen haha. Wel een gave onix!
Now you need to get a metal “coat” of armor for the plush to get it to evolve! :D
Imagine coating it in tinfoil lol. Or maybe easier to use those reflective emergency blankets
Yooo, that is The Netherlands!! I wasn’t aware you lived here 😂
i guessed half that price. that is literally insane.
5:06 welcome to the netherlands
You know what...? Subscribed!
I found you when I wanted to watch Mario Party speedruns one day, lol.
My initial guess was that you spent 5000€ on this, but in the end it was a bit less
The long-awaited sequel to Jenny Nicholson's giant spider plush video!!
It looks really great. I wonder how long it took to craft. and if the maker will ever be able to make another round plushy again or if they are scarred for life
What amazing work from the artist!!
Best video I've watched all day 🔥🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🗣️🔥
Imagine if you had gone with the 8 metre size
For now 😏 I've been working on a giant plush for my Onix loving spouse, and this video got me so excited to start on it for him 🥰 She did a great job!!
Totally forgot about this. Congrats on being the weirdo on the train
You mentioned before that you would bring the rock noodle to cons? If so I hope I can see it irl one day!
I'll bring it to Twitchcon Europe!
Okay but life size wailord plush when?
When it was first revealed on stream I was estimating around $4k for I feel validated in my estimation skills :)
Its a masterpiece, i love it chrisPog
Before any price breakdown, I'm guessing this is in the 4k-6k dollar range. The filling is expensive.
EDIT: Very close :) You got a good deal.
Jow de groeten vanuit venlo
Holy. Moly. That is a big plush :D
Disappointed the Wailord plush isn't life-size.
Wow, and you can tell how much work it took to make too!!
And it moves so well too!!
