Deadly, yet adorable, this plush turret from the game Portal talks and responds when you play with it. It senses when you pick it up, knock it over, or walk in front of it. The stuffing and soft fleece skin make it super cuddly, too!

Untwist the coat hanger at the top.

117. Cut coat hanger

Cut the coat hanger at the bottom corners so you have one long straight piece of wire. I used a wrench to score the cuts before bending it with pliers to make these cuts.

118. Bend coat hanger

Bend the long straight wire so it looks like this. This is the front two legs of the turret. The middle part will sit flush against the bottom of the turret for support.
