Pikmin in Needlefelt and Sculpey

Last in the Pikmin series for a while (till the new game comes out and I get requests for new stuff). These are Pikmin from the second game: the original 3 colours and talents with the 2 new ones. I have tried needle-felting with limited success but my friend B is a Jedi Master of the skill and has broken many needles when using the Force.

 She made the fabulous 4 on the left and right of this pic, and I made the grumpy-looking saggy purple one in the centre.

The Sculpey ones above  were much more my thing to make and starred on my son's birthday cake last year. http://socklet-world.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/let-them-eat-pikmin-cake.html 

With Pikmin 3 coming out any day now, this may be the third Pikmin-themed birthday in a row so I'd better look up how to make the 2 new types of Pikmin!
