Did somebody say they want a beastling plushy? I'm thinking of making some for market and would like to know what size would be best for a starter. EVENTUALLY we could have all sizes, but i need only one to get started.

[Dragyn]

You're offering to make them?

Nifty...I placed my vote on "book end size," but "Suitcase Size" would've worked for me just as well.

[villageelder]

I'm thinking of making them....... It's gonna take some more work before i can attempt a prototype.

Also if anyone knows another comic or somesuch who might make good plushies, let me know please.

[Faith]

Awesome!!!  

How would you so that?
Where would you get the stuff, and where would you sell them?
I want one!!!
I still have to vote...

I think the last one's funny.  

Hm... one of the middle two, for sure... but which one?

I think I've decided.

I'd want a bigger one... but to start, it's be easier to make a smaller one to start with, wouldn't it?
Also, they cost less...
I'm short on spending money... with Christmas coming up, and my saving money.

What type of plushie would it be?
Have you made other plushies?
(I'm guessing probably.)
Can you post any pictures of what they've looked like?

[villageelder]

For starters, i doubt they'll be ready by christmas.  

I have made plushies before, Sorry, no pictures.

They will be made from colored fabrics, from a pattern made from the comic, and fanart.  The filling will be loose polyester fiber so they'll be rather soft.

we'll be filling small batches, less than 2 dozen. one plush at a time. sewn by standard household machine. So delivery may be a while.

(wants a wellmade Beastling plushie)

[Dragyn]

For the record, I could offer any sketches of Beastling you need.

As for other comics:  There are many, many comics out there.  If you could be a bit more specific, I could probably link some.

or, you could try the Belfry Webcomics Index.

[Faith]

I've decided then.  

I can't wait to get one!  
How much would they be, as an estimation, at that size?
Can I call one for mine ahead of itme?  

How long have you been making plushies?

[Fox]

Nifty. At least you're thinking of marketing..I just wanted to make one for me. XD Though, I might do a little Beastling area when/if I ever get RPU's store set up, if it's okay with Dragyn.

DMFA has already had a plushie or two made, but Amber's wanting to get more DMFA products made to sell...so that might be a good place to work with..or..whatever.

[villageelder]

Looks like it's unanimous! Bookend size it is!

@ Faith. You can tell me you'll take one but i can't accept payment yet. If i sell you a product that doesn't yet exist, it's considered selling stocks. and unless i've registered said stocks it's selling unregisterd stocks. and thats a fellony.  But yes an unpaid pre-order i can accept.

@Fox. Thanks for the tip.

[Faith]

Do you have an estimation of the price?

[villageelder]

I'm afraid to come up with a price just yet. it's too soon.

I need to pick out fabrics and make patterns. Depending on how expensive the fabrics are and how many Beastlings i have to make to get it right.

THen there's shipping, ...... just too many factors i need to calculate first.

[Faith]

Would it be all right to ask from where the shipping would be?

[villageelder]

All over, i was refering to having fabrics and supplies sent to me. but yes there's also shipping out to you.
