Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
Our manufacturing minimum typically starts at 1,000 units per design. However, you can begin with a prototype first to explore your idea before committing to production.
-
Yes! Many clients start with a prototype only — whether it’s for pitching, photography, or early testing. There’s no obligation to proceed to manufacturing.
-
Absolutely. If you have a rough idea, written description, or mood board, I can help you develop a full character design with sketches and concept art.
-
It depends on the stage. Prototyping typically takes 3–5 weeks. Manufacturing can take 8–12 weeks after the sample is approved. Timelines vary based on complexity and quantity.
-
Yes — you own full rights to the plush toy design we develop for you. I do not retain any ownership, and you are free to sell, license, or distribute your product as you choose.
