Manufacturing reference
A hard edged character made in a soft material, which is the hardest thing to get right in plush.
Robots read as boxes and panels, and fabric wants to be round. Holding a square head in plush means firmer fill, a stiffer backing or an internal frame, and each of those changes how the toy feels in a squeeze test. The lit rings at the ears and the lit disc on the chest are rigid parts in three separate places. The cable route inside the body has to be planned before the pattern is cut.
Use this reference when the character comes from a screen and has to survive translation into fabric. Settle how square the head actually has to be, and confirm whether the antenna and the lit parts are allowed as drawn at the age grade you intend to print.
