Plushie Poll
🕑 Added 2025-04-22 18:41:57 +0000 UTCHi guys! Surprise Tuesday ping!
So, I got a quote back from a plushie company I'm interested in working with. They have very high trustpilot reviews and they have several examples that show me they should be able to create what I want.
I'll cut to the chase: Making these plushies won't be cheap. We're not working with massive corporation standards, I can only do indie numbers, and I want high quality.
The bright side to this is that if I go ahead with these guys, I'll be in total control of the supply just like all my other Etsy products. I'll keep them and ship them from my apartment. I can have more made any time [ that I can afford LMAO ]
Because of this, I think I would have to charge $50CAD [ ~36USD ] for each plushie. Would you still be interested in getting one?
More details:
The plushies will be 12" tall
This is my extremely halfassed project outline I sent for the quote:
[ the eventual plushies might not look like this, this is just a very rough first draft ]
Here are some examples made by the company:
^ This one especially caught my eye, as it demonstrates both an embroidered face/eyes, with a printed pattern on the chin that could work for Strade's stubble, as well as printing on the shirt which would be nice for his green shirt

I adore the fact that you're pulling from the revamped design of strade for this! The hair approach with the soft plush fabric is definitely a lot better of an idea than one with wig type hair because it gets knotted AWFULLY quickly. Also I like the idea of the more balanced approach to his proportions rather than the chibi style because it makes it more accurate whilst keeping his charm!!!
