Questions About Custom Plush Toys

Yes. You can purchase prototype toys. Once all the details of your idea are conveyed we will design and manufacture a one of a kind prototype that you can show buyers. Figurine/plush toy prototype fees begin at $500 and include unlimited revisions within six months.

The first step to protecting your idea is signing an NDA (a Non Disclosure Agreement). This means that we cannot reproduce your product without your permission. We have built our company over the last 30 years on the fact that we only manufacture goods for you. We have no interest in stealing ideas. For peace of mind we have an NDA available for you. Look to the bottom of this website for a link to our NDA.

Keep in mind that in developing your unique product, there are many choices that can affect the final price. Therefore it is helpful if you have a budget in mind that we can use as a starting point. There are a few distinct factors that influence the price:

Quantity – In general, the more you order the less you pay per piece with a volume discount. This has to do with not only materials, but also the labor, testing and shipping involved to manufacture your custom plush toy.

Size – Common sizes that we use now are 6" for Beanie type toys, 8" to 12" for smaller stuffed toys and 12" and above for everything else. A bigger toy means more material. The greater the size adds to labor, materials, and shipping costs as well.

Quality - We can choose from many different qualities of plush and materials, which can greatly affect the price.

Detail – similar to the differences in quality but from a manufacturing point of view. A good example of two varying levels of detail in a toy are:

• A bean bag plush bear that is simple in shape and has a cartoon look.
• A realistic looking Grizzly Bear stuffed toy with features that are characteristic of the animal.

All the toys we make are designed and managed in the U.S. with the sample and production run made in China. We work closely with our factories and have worked with many of them for decades.

Our minimum order for custom plush products is only 500 pieces. This is an industry standard. While it is definitely more economical to order 5,000 pieces or more, we understand for a new product sometimes it is best to start with a minimum number. For products such as figurines, Plush with mechanics, and sound, the minimum quantity is 5,000.

Our first price quote is an estimate based on the limited information that you provided on your initial quote form. Although we have spent many years working in the plush industry and can usually get close with our first quote, every project is slightly different. Therefore the final price may be higher or lower then the original quote. However your price will be final before we start production and there will not be any surprise charges to worry about.

Approximately 90-120 days after the prototype is approved. The typical steps and duration are:

• Prototype Stage – approximately 3-4 weeks of the initial sample. 1-2 weeks per round of revisions depending on the amount of detail requested to be changed.
• Production Stage/Overseas Shipping – 30-60 days. This can vary due to production schedule, labor availability, ordering materials and testing.
• Delivery – 25-30 days via vessel and then 5-10 days local shipping.
