Katamari Couisn details
Oct. 23rd, 2005 06:27 pmHello, people of LJ.
I have started creating Katamari cousin plushies and Pillow buddies. Once I get my camera working again, I will post pictures.
The pillow buddy is a cousin with a pillowcase for a body. They're insanely cuddly, as people have tended to gravitate toward the big poofy Dipp pillow sitting on the couch.
The plushies are sickeningly cute, too, made out of the same material as the pillow buddy. I used Ichigo and Marcy as my prototypes, and both have been squealed over in delight and tossed about to prove durability.
As far as pricing goes, I did my usual tactic of "ask Anne how much she thinks I should charge, and cut that in half," which gives me $25. Weird accessories/fabrics might be extra, depending. Also, I tend to trust people with payment, so money'll be due when the plushie/pillow buddy is finished.
I thought that $50 was effing ridiculous. I still can't get over the fact that some chick wanted $80 for small cheap falling apart ugly things. I'm even questioning the $25, but as far as I've asked around, people seem to think it's reasonable. I've gotten a lot of "you could get more for them on Ebay!" but why go through that when people love the game here? Or I could be too lazy to set up a seller's account, whatever. The first reason seems more noble and caring.
AAANYWAY!
So, yeah. I'll be putting up order form-like things in the next post. I'll need them returned and filled out (hard copy in person, jpeg file in email, whatever) before I can start making them. I'm still up for custom cousins, as long as I know what to do.
SO! If you're interested, please leave a comment. I just want to see if there's still an interest. Tell friends, and if they're interested too, send them here. I've left this post and the last about the cousins public so that anyone can see/comment.
Enjoy!
