Deciding it best to take the stairs up to the second level of the Bell Tree Manor, you walk down the hall and come upon the door to the main bedroom. You hesitate to grasp the doorknob, but you find the courage to confront whatever awaits you inside. You're welcomed to a room wall-to-wall covered in stuffed animals and plush toys. You get the feeling that they're all staring at you. It's all very unsettling, but you can't help but notice how bare and unintimidating they look. Somehow you have the feeling that this is making the plushies feel dejected... Nothing a bit of creativity and a pair of scissors can't fix!

Q. How will the Halloween Favorites be decided?
A. The staff will review and nominate entries to go to a community poll. Only entries submitted by 2:59pm EST on Sunday the 31st of October 2021 will be eligible to be nominated.​
Q. Can I dress my plush in human clothing?
A. You can, as long as it's just a small part to your whole design. There has to be more to it than just a spooky shirt.​

Q. Can I use porcelain dolls or ball jointed dolls?
A. No, only plush dolls and stuffed animals are accepted. It must be made completely or near completely out of soft materials. If you're unsure if your plush friend qualifies, feel free to send the host a PM directly!​
Q. I don't own any plush toy, can I use a pillow and dress that instead?
A. For this event we're not accepting pillows as a substitute.​
Q. Can I use a Pokémon plushie or [insert anime/cartoon/Disney character] plushie?
A. Yes, as long as they're are made completely or near completely out of soft materials they are allowed.​
Q. Does the outfit have to be traditionally Halloween themed?
A. No, you can make your plushies cosplay as characters from your favorite game or show! You just need to clearly state what your plush is dressed as and where they're from.​
Though, you can't have the plush dressed as themselves, so no Pikachu plush cosplaying as a Pikachu.

My stuffed cat Buttercup dressed as Darth Vader this Halloween. The helmet was made by creating a model out of cardboard, tape, and plastic which was then covered in fabric. The cape is just made out of fabric. I'm not great at making costumes but this was so fun to make
 
Hope it's okay to ask since I have kinda doubts now if my entry is okay: The rules says that premade outfits specifically made for plush toys are not allowed. Do outfits from porcelain dolls however count too or not? Because I used the dress of a porcelain doll and modified it a bit and I'm not sure now if it's against the rules or not. :/

After discussing it with the other staff members, we came to the decision that it does fall into the premade outfit rule. You may edit your previous post with a new entry if you like.

What you have right now is fine. As the skirt is cut up and an accessory to your whole outfit. My only goal with the no premade outfit rule was to prevent having complete outfits that one can purchase for their plush toys and encourage crafting. I'll try to reword the rules a bit better to make this as clear as possible.

Understandable. I have edited my post with the new entry, please let me know if it's now okay!
 
I present to you - The Ninescales of Justice!

Ninetales and her little protégé, Vulpix, are here to ensure that Halloween stays in the hands of the Czar, Jack. After last year's debaucle of Zipper challenging Jack's authority on the holiday, word got to this dynamic duo and they've vowed ever since, to protect Jack and Halloween forever! Ninetales, or Ninescales, as her heroine name, will use Fire Spin on anyone who dare attempts to vanquish Jack.

Note: to be clear, Ninetales is the one I've made the outfit for. Draped some fabric over Vulpix's tag for effect, since there was not anything saying two plushies couldn't be in the picture. For submission purposes, it's Ninetales.
 
COMMANDER ANDREW BUNN AT YOUR SERVICE!

This is Commander Andrew Bunn wearing a homemade Starfleet uniform modeled after the jumpsuit of Star Trek Voyager.

It is a custom home-made design tailored to this bunny plush of mine and cannot be found online for sale anywhere. You can see some of the imperfections he has on the outfit like the cuff sleeves he has. I did my best :D

His Starfleet pips consist of 3 gold buttons which represents his rank of commander.
