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!
Inspired by Up, not North.

Step11

143. Put fabric shell on electronics skeleton

Flip the fabric right-side out, and carefully slip the fabric over the skeleton of the turret.
