Anyone know … I don't think Housepets! plushies are in the works, but I'm eager to be corrected.

If there was something that was gonna be made public, I'm sure the mods would have let us know.

Most important thing I've learned from D&D?
No matter how tempting it may be, as a DM I can't both present a problem and solve it.
Every time a DMPC or NPC fixes something a payer couldn't i'm diminishing and undermining that player's contribution.

I would go for the K-9 Unit first. Maybe by that time Fox will be more buffer.

I so hope you're right. A buffer Fox would be so neat. hahaAmazee Dayzee wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 8:13 am I turned things around with payday loans and would go for the K-9 Unit first. Maybe by that time Fox will be more buffer.

Re: Who would buy a Housepets! Plush?
Making plush characters is a cool idea. If it ever happened I’d buy Max, Peanut, Grape, Tarot, Dallas, and Marvin.

Having plushies would be a good merch option to help support Rick Griffin =)

Well it might be though I think it would also take a lot more resources to find someone else who could put them altogether and a place to sell them.

I want a Pete plushie where you pull the string and he smugly lords over you with the voice of John de Lancie.

If there ever was a plushie like that and I got one, my mother would be asking me why my plushie sounds like a past character from a soap opera we watch regularly.
(Fun fact: John de Lancie had played the role of crazy but lovable inventor Eugene Bradford on "Days of our Lives".)

Re: Who would buy a Housepets! Plush?
From what I gathered from reading through the two threads related to plushies, the basic problem is that selling plushes would cost Rick Griffin more than he would recoup in revenue.Raku wrote:Having plushies would be a good merch option to help support Rick Griffin =)

Re: Who would buy a Housepets! Plush?
I only know two other webcomics that sell pushes. Slightly Damned and Slack Wyrm. Chu sells hers on Storenvy for $20 (I actually have a Iratu doll sitting above me right now) and travels to cons to sell merchandise and Josh Wright has a pre-order for Slack Wyrm dolls on a site call Makeship store for $25 but it also says its limited quantity.
In all honesty I think it's more trouble than its worth a lot of the time. I think he would personally have to ship each order himself depending on how he manufactured it and did the orders. Not to mention shopping around for manufacturer that could make them for a price for him to turn a profit. Then setting up a storefront online somewhere. Even if he did turn a profit I question it would be enough for all the trouble.
It would be nice to have one but it's a big undertaking.

Re: Who would buy a Housepets! Plush?
It is. Find a designer, figure out the design (that can take a while), figure out the best materials, figure out how to actually sell them.
It's a long and costly endeavor.

Re: Who would buy a Housepets! Plush?
.... and there would be questions of how many you'd need to sell to break even. Design's tricky, too - if people don't think the plush looks enough like the character, you're gonna be stuck with a lot of dollies.

Not to mention fans can be really picky so lord forbid you use the wrong shade of purple for Grape. XD

PVC figures might work better. Plastoy did a nice job on the Asterix characters.

But then they wouldn't actually be plush though. LOL

Yeah, I'm wandering off topic … just a passing thought, variations on a theme.

Though it might be good merchandise if Rick could manage it or wanted to.

Permission to commission a King fursuit at some point? It's for a thesis.

Where did Eudoant get her plushie of "Keene"? Maybe they've set up an assembly line in Pandemonium...

I'm thinking that Eudoant was outraged that he escaped and looked for somebody to blame and then forced that person to make a plushie to make up for it.

Re: Who would buy a Housepets! Plush?
Oh, well I was going to do something as innocent as Kingkaiger cosplay, mixing Aniki Cosplay Rangersuit with contextual Fursuit. I'm sorry if I stumbled on a bad idea.Dissension wrote:Somebody's already done that, actually.

Yeah … and I'm not sure how big the market would be. Maybe just start with Peanut and Grape, see what happens.Amazee Dayzee wrote:That would be a very large amount of plushies. O_o

If you only started with those two also, you need to keep in mind that it would take a LOT more of them to fill up a room.

Honestly I wouldn't. No matter how well-made, plushes always fall right smack in the middle of uncanny valley to me.

How muscular would you want it? Would you rather it be before he joined the K-9s or after?
