LittleBigPlanet’s Sackboy gets REAL!

Late last year the PS3 got a very innovative game that wasn’t just appropriate for all ages, but also invited you to use your imagination and creativity in ways beyond most other console games. The game was LittleBigPlanet (commonly referred to as LBP) and the ‘star’ of the game was a character called SackBoy. The game invited you to envision new worlds and new costumes for SackBoy in its’ tagline – Play. Create. Share. Gamers adopted the game relatively slowly at first, but momentum hasn’t stopped growing in the more than six months since the game launched – nor has the creativity of folks who are creating both virtual and real SackBoy creations.

One look at the SackBoy character and I was immediately reminded of a classic stuffed animal toy. Evidently that is not a coincidence, as many real-world creations of SackBoy have emerged that are essentially dress-up dolls. But there is some other really cool stuff folks are doing .. here are just a few:

On this site Adam from the UK gives us a complete step by step guide to making your own SackBoy costume.

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!
