Everything You Need to Bring a Product to Life

Plush toys are where most clients start. But the same design, logistics, and compliance infrastructure that produces a toy also produces a book, a figurine, a website, or a fulfillment program. Many clients end up using more than one.

Service 01

Character Design &
Custom Plush Toys

The core. 30 years. The thing we know better than anyone.

A physical stuffed toy manufactured to a design that has never existed before. Not a toy pulled from a shelf with a logo applied to it. A new object — designed, prototyped, revised, approved, safety tested, and manufactured from scratch.

Every quote includes safety compliance (CPSIA, EN71, or AS/NZS depending on your market), quality control inspection, and shipping coordination. The prototype stage is built into every project. Plan for it — it's what keeps the final product right.

Who it's for

  • Corporations needing a branded character or product replica
  • Inventors bringing a toy to market for the first time
  • Authors turning a book character into a physical companion
  • Organisations wanting a mascot in plush form
Honest constraint: This is not a fast process. First conversation to delivery typically runs 4–6 months. Minimum order is 300 units. Custom manufacturing does not have a price list — every toy is unique.

Wearable Mascots

Full-size costumed characters worn by a performer for live events.

A wearable character suit — built to the same design standards as our plush toys. These are not generic rental costumes. They are custom-built characters that match a specific brand, book, or campaign.

Rental mascots are generic. You get a bear or a dragon that vaguely matches your color palette if you're lucky. A custom wearable mascot is the actual character — built to your design spec, with your colors, your proportions, your expression.

Who it's for

  • Corporate clients running brand activations and trade show experiences
  • Authors and inventors wanting their character present at live events
  • Any client whose character needs to exist at human scale
Honest constraint: This is a premium product — significantly more expensive than a plush toy. We build the suit; the client sources the performer. We recommend two suits for continuous-wear events.

Books

Write it. Illustrate it. Print it. Publish it.

A complete book production service — from manuscript to printed, published product. Most commonly used for children's books that accompany a plush toy character, educational booklets, and brand story books.

We project manage this service using a network of trusted writers, illustrators, printers, and publishers. Our strength is the integrated product — when the book and the toy come from the same project, they look like they belong together.

Who it's for

  • Authors who want both a book and a matching toy produced together
  • Inventors who need a story to give their toy retail appeal
  • Corporate clients needing educational booklets (orthodontist guides, curriculum kits)
Honest framing: We are not an in-house writing team or print shop. We coordinate trusted specialists and ensure the result matches the toy — design-consistent, compliance-ready, delivered.

PVC Figurines

Hard resin desktop characters. The collectible counterpart to the plush toy.

A small, hard PVC figurine — typically 3–5 inches tall — cast from a custom sculpt. Where a plush toy is soft and huggable, a PVC figurine is a desk object: precise, detailed, collectible. The PHP elePHPant program is a real example of this at scale — a single character design running as a global program for over 16 years.

Who it's for

  • Corporate clients wanting a premium desk gift for ongoing campaigns
  • Inventors and authors who want a collectible version alongside the plush
  • Tech communities and professional groups wanting a physical mascot object
Honest constraint: Sculpting requires a 3D file or detailed reference. If the character already exists as a plush toy design, the transition to PVC sculpt is straightforward.

Custom Packaging

The box, bag, or kit that makes the product feel like a product.

Custom-designed packaging for any product we manufacture. Boxes, bags, hang tags, poly bags with headers, gift boxes, retail-ready packaging — designed and produced as part of the same project, arriving together.

Compliance labeling — tracking label, choking hazard warnings, fibre content, country of origin — is built into the package design, not added as an afterthought.

Who it's for

  • Inventors preparing a toy for retail or e-commerce — a toy without packaging is not a retail product
  • Corporate clients who want a complete gifting experience
  • Education companies packaging curriculum kits

Websites & Microsites

A web presence for the product, the campaign, or the character.

A purpose-built website or landing page — not a general business website, but a focused digital presence that serves a specific product or campaign. We have been building these since the early days of the web.

For inventors

A dedicated sales or showcase site for their toy or book character — the digital shelf for a product that may not yet be in retail stores.

For corporations

A campaign microsite or program-specific ordering page — where regional offices or event teams can access and order from a consolidated program.

Honest constraint: We build functional, focused sites. We are not a full-service digital agency. You own it, you can edit it.
Del Monte Mini Monkey microsite — sticker promotion landing page

Del Monte wanted to promote their mini bananas, so we created a stuffed-toy monkey: customers at major grocery stores could collect stickers from the bananas to complete the series and qualify for a free monkey. We handled manufacturing the toys, the in-store displays, ran the promotion, handled exceptions — and Del Monte received weekly reports on the health of the promotion.

Service 07

Warehousing & Fulfillment

We make it. We store it. We ship it. You focus on selling it.

An end-to-end logistics service for clients who don't want to handle inventory themselves. We warehouse product in up to four regions — China, USA, Canada, and Europe — and ship individual orders on demand.

Most first-time inventors think fulfillment is simple. It isn't. Customs paperwork, carrier relationships, damage claims, address validation, international material restrictions — these are real problems. We have shipped to 38 countries. We have seen most of them.

Who it's for

  • Inventors selling online who don't want to touch inventory
  • Corporate clients shipping to distributed events across multiple countries
  • Global brands with regional offices ordering from a consolidated program

Corporate trade show Plush toy + packaging + event shipping
Education company Plush toy + book + packaging + fulfillment
Global brand program Plush toy + fulfillment + order page (microsite)

What We Don't Do

Being clear about this saves everyone time.

  • Promotional products. Pens, mugs, t-shirts, printed frisbees. These are a different industry with a different supply chain.

  • Orders under 300 units. The economics of custom manufacturing don't work below that threshold.

  • Rush orders. The timeline is what it is because quality requires it.

  • Manufacturing under our brand. Everything we make belongs to the client. We will never sell a version of your product ourselves.
