Did somebody actually make a plush Dex-Starr? That’d be awesome!
Yeah, someone brought it up to the panelists. I get the impression from Twitter that it was The Nerdy Bird who brought it. I’ve got a few blurry pictures that I’ll try to post tomorrow morning when I can actually get enough bandwidth to do so.
Funny thing: last night my wife looked through the various corps in Blackest Night #0 (it was handed out free with the programs) and decided she wanted to make one!
Yup! Dex-Starr is mine. 🙂
I just posted a whole breakdown of my costume on my blog if you want to give it a look.

I saw your pics/writeup at CBR, and just looked at your blog entry — that’s great! Wonderful costume and awesome stuffed Dex 🙂
I know what you mean about making those rings fit on women’s fingers, as my giveaway Black Lantern ring is too big even for my thumb.
Thanks Lia! I know, the BL rings are HUGE. Maybe I’ll tape up the bottom and make a necklace out of it. 🙂
That’s a fantastic write-up!
