hi! I hope this isn't weird but I remember you got your OCs ginger and obsidian made into custom plushies, would you mind telling me what site you used to do this, how it is working with them, what the prices are, and how you went about getting them? I'm interested in getting a plush of one of my OCs made at some point
thank youu sorry if this is odd
I used the company Idooodle when getting them!
It was my first ever time using a different company from Budsies (which was the company I usually used beforehand) but Budsies has really fallen off over the years and I didn’t think they’d do my boys justice, especially with their limited color selection and their intense need to cut corners. One of my plushies was literally falling apart when it arrived.
Anyway! I think I payed around 150 to 200 dollars for each plush (I lowkey forgot ☠️) they’re both 16 inches but omfg they’re HUGE if you want a smaller plush just go with the 12 inches lol- They were both honestly super easy to work with, just give them a description and some reference images. They stick VERY close to your reference image, for example they misinterpreted the muzzles on them and gave them like weird bumps on their faces but that was literally my only issue with the plushies HELP
It took a longgg time for them to be made, like a couple months, but my plushies were bigger and have a lot of details to them so I expected that tbh.
You finally get photos of them when they’re complete, and you can either accept or ask for changes to be made. Although you have to pay for changes, and their communication isn’t the greatest, so I ended up not doing any changes (and I just wanted them badly lol)
Anyway they’re perfect and I love them. The fabric is nice (Budsies is softer but they have such limited colors it’s not worth it) they don’t feel like they’re gonna fall apart (like Budsies) they actually make each clothing piece so you could technically take off their clothes if you want to ☠️ and are just very well made overall!! I definitely recommend them if you want a plush of your OC!
I ALSO HEAVILY RECOMMEND READING THIS THREAD ON TOYHOUSE! It’s what made me decide on getting from Idooodle in the first place!!! There’s also a lot of great comments to add onto the thread so you get tons of people telling their experiences with the companies. Its also just better written ☠️🙏
Anyway uh friendship ended with Budsies, Idooodle is my new best friend or something
