Would anyone pay over 200 for a very large fat dragon plush? I am starting to get worried and discouraged. The designer in china didn’t tell me how much it would cost per piece I just designed it how I thought it should be and what features I’d want my ultimate dream dragon to have, but they said they couldn’t quote me until he was finished… Soooo I asked this week for at least a rough estimate it isn’t exact and it may be more or less, but at this point they are saying that BEFORE freight, hangtags, the tush tag, and the safety testing required so things don’t get held up in customs we are looking at already over 55 a piece BEFORE all that. To make these even worth selling I’d have to sell them for over 200 a piece which is way beyond what I had estimated or intended. He does have a special keepsake pocket on his chest was going to put little heartshaped notepads with him for a stretch goal or something so people could write their dreams.

Lots of things may have to be simplified. I also did want to do a smaller version as well but they already are telling me for sure for the small version he will need to be simplified, but I’m leaning toward simplifying this one too.

I’d love some feedback. Do you like him? would you want a chonky dragon of your own ad for a premium large plush would 200-250 be fair and would people still want him? I’m planning to get the sample soon and set up the kickstarter page so it can announce when we go live.

He has glow in the dark stars and features the fabric of his tail glows. He is weighted and floppy, and his wings are flexible with a very satisfying flexible armature (Stim toy) ( I am already thinking the flexible wings aren’t necessary even though they are really cool but may just make soft foam to cut costs here to start) I was wanting him to be the ultimate Spectrum friendly plush for both anxiety and for people that figit and or have sensory issues which is why he has 3 different fabric types too belly is mochi / squishmallow and the purple is soft minky and then fake rabbit fur on top that is super soft. I know that costs have gone up overseas since covid but it is a LOT more than last I tried making a plush with even a middleman. Anyways, I’m feeling stressed and discouraged and almost wanting to give up. I have always wanted to design my own plush line Let me know in the comments if this if you guys would even support him and want one of your own.
