Tomorrow I will pick up an ugobe pleo. I bought it for 30 €.
It has all the skin with holes and very deteriorated. So I will start a new project to create a new skin for this pleo using fabric. ;)
I convinced my grandmother to help me build the skin . I will design skin (measures, form, etc) and my grandmother will build it.
So i hope this project will help and interests the people who has it's Pleos with the skin like this and will be useful.
A hug to everyone!
P.D: Tomorrow i will post pictures :dino-chase:

And yeah Echo haha I think it will be cool to have a pleo with a fuzzy cover. I'm searching a thing like this:

I found this after digging around online for a while. The Pleo appears to be covered in a fabric skin, and the man's name tag says Jetta on it. Has anyone else seen this before?
[Edit] After more digging I found this image in an old post on this forum so it's definitely known. I guess it was an old prototype the company never followed through with? Either way it may help someone here trying to make their own skin.

I can't view the image. All that shows up is an error box.
On another note, I've never made a fabric skin for a Pleo, but I have made one for an Aibo (made to look like the character Densuke from the show Dennou Coil). It's a lot easier for an Aibo though since they already have a plastic shell and you don't need to cover moving joints. I used fleece for the Aibo costume and the fabric feels pretty fragile, but it's very soft and has held up really well so far and doesn't seem to pick up dust or dirt easily (the robot has a full range of motion and runs normally wearing the costume).
I do have a skinless Pleo though and one with falling apart skin, so I might attempt to make something for a Pleo some day.

It's the fluffiest Pleo I've ever seen. I'm not really sure how they managed to add padding to the entire thing and still get normal movement from it.

I will share the pattern when it's done if I ever get around to making a fluffy pleo
