Custom Plushies for your Organization? Where and How Much?

[mouser]

We were just toying with the idea of a custom Cody plush toy, maybe not for now, but in a few years?
Found one site that looked interesing, i wonder if people know any others, or have ever bought such a thing for their organization..

Have your idea turned in to the next blockbuster toy, or a great trade show giveaway. Whether it is very high retail quality, or a cost effective promotional item, we can manufacture and deliver a safe, good quality plush toy.
Minimum 500 order.

500 minimum is not bad. Still quite pricey though unless there's some remuneration involved.

Well now it is a few years later and I want a Cody plushy!

Still, it would be quite a financial commitment - do we have the funds and do we want to spend it on plushies?

[mouser]

Well we saw this sample one on their site:
http://www.customplu...display=&start=0


It looks quite a bit like cody, and they listed it as an example custom plushi made for about $6 in a run of 500.

So.. we could probably get a custom looking Cody plushy for $6 a piece.. That seems like a reasonable price per item, but the quantity puts it beyond our budget i'd say.  We'd have to order 500 of them which would be about $3000.

So near, yet so far... *sigh*

Have you thought about the army of under-age Cody chicks forced out of the nest before dawn in order to labour at producing these?

For shame, I say!

Persist in this and I'll have you brought up before the beak.

I am attempting to locate a pattern for the perfect cody doll. I'll mass produce them myself if I have to. No children will be laboring before dawn to make them, so don't worry.

What a fowl alternative that would be!

That's as hard to believe as a politician's speech.

I have located 2 patterns:

1. Cody during his 60's period (as mouser described it):



This one would need to be reworked slightly, to make the neck shorter, but I think it would look quite nice in the right colors rather than a weird patterned fabric, like they used.

2. Another funky Cody pattern:



Again, wouldn't be made with patterned fabric, and would be made with Cody's colors.

Personally, I think I like the first one better, but I'll have to see what happens (and how much they will cost to make)

Don't rush me and I'll see what I can do. Remember it will be just me working in this little NJ sweatshop, and I am a bit low on cash at the moment for supplies, and the fabric I would want to use for this is out of season. (not something the fabric warehouse near me usually stocks in spring/summer)

No children will be laboring before dawn to make them, so don't worry.

I don't have any kids I could force to do it, even if I wanted to...my daughter is 23 and can't sew, and if I try to force my cats to do it, they will just lay on the fabric thinking I just bought them a new bed.

I'll have you know that fabric is torn from my favourite shirt, lost to me lo these 40 years!

That second picture looks suspiciously like the penguin out of Wallace and Grommets Wrong Trousers (he was a master of disguise!!)

[steeladept]

My only question is where is the plush coin he should be carrying?
