Realization! [ATTN: Shadra & Amy]
First off, MAN how'd a week go by since my last entry?! That's really insane...
But anyways, I figured the plushie pricing out!
It will be $100 for a non-jointed/fixed pose plushie
and $150 for a jointed/poseable plushie.
It occured to me just today, as I was thinking "I'd be able to happily sell them for a lot less if it wasn't for the skeleton"... And it's like, DUR, then don't do the skeleton. I'd like to look into that plastic bead sort of armature, but it wouldn't allow hand movement, so I'd still have to rig one up like I do now... So HMM... But I like the way I do them now, anyway... The first try was iffy, but I got the hang of it on Sakura.
This also means though that, because they won't have an internal support or weighted feet, the nonposeable ones will not be able to stand on their own. But they'll also be cuddlier. ^_^ My Crowdia does not have a skeleton... She also super floppy legs though because I made them out of spandex instead of spandex over cotton or interfaced spandex (argh!) but I think that firmly stuffed legs would be able to lean against a support fairly easily... HMM. Especially if the fabric was interfaced. *should try!* I'm also thinking of doing the plastic-beads-in-the-feet thing that real plush companies do. Which MIGHT make them able to stand due to how big I make the feet, but we'll have to see. ^_^
With that said, I just need to know if Shadra & Amy are still interested (and who Shadra would like, of course XD) I don't mind payment after I'm done in the case of you two since I trust both of you (and that way there's less pressure on me anyway). And I looove the little guy Amy was considering, he's SO CUTE.
