Open →A custom plush toy that has never been made before takes time to design, prototype, refine, and produce. Here’s every phase, in plain English.

Open →Get Your Numbers
Pricing first, surprises never. Use the calculator before any conversation.
Pick a size, body type, and quantity. See pricing immediately — no sales call required.
Open →What we do, who it’s for, and what we’ve built for past inventors — including a Lulla Doll that raised $362,895 USD on Indiegogo.
Open →Plan Your Production
Decisions that get cheaper the earlier you make them.
Amazon’s safety-lab quirks mean a wrong test = rejected listing. The fix is one heads-up before we start.
Open →Bulk orders ship by common carrier — an 18-wheeler, a pallet, no tracking number. Know what you’re receiving.
Open →Plush is the start. We also do wearable mascots, children’s books, fulfillment, and more.
Open →Decide & Launch
See real work, talk to a human, and start the clock.
Hundreds of toys we’ve made — for inventors, brands, books, mascots, plush ambassadors, and more.
Open →Have a question the calculator can’t answer? Email or call. Real human, real fast.
Open →Place a small deposit (starting at $500, 100% credited toward production) and we’ll get a real prototype in your hands.
Open →Done with the checklist? Start the clock.
The earlier you start, the more comfortable the timeline. Tell us what you’re building.
