The studio behind your custom plush

Custom plush toys from your drawing or photo, sewn by hand to order since 2009.

✓ You approve photos before it ships.
✓ Full refund if you don’t love it.

We make custom plush toys by hand, one at a time, from whatever you send us: a drawing, a photo, a screenshot from a game, a picture of a toy you lost years ago. Nothing here sits on a shelf waiting for a buyer. A toy starts when someone asks for it.

You tell us what it should be. We work out how to sew it, send you photos when it’s finished, and only then post it to you, anywhere in the world. Custom toys start from $350; a bigger size or extra details cost more.

From a picture to a toy

One real order, start to finish. A customer wanted Raziel from the Legacy of Kain games and sent us detailed reference art. Our artist drew a simpler version that would work in fabric, the customer approved it, and then we sewed it.

1. What the customer sent. Reference art of Raziel.

2. Our concept drawing. Approved before any sewing started.

3. The finished plush. See more photos of Raziel.

You can send us much less than that. A phone photo or a rough sketch is enough to start, and the quote is free. We may show any toy we make on this site, like this one. The photos and drawings you send us stay private.

Dolls of real people

A doll of a real person starts with a few photos. We make two kinds of look-alike: a portrait doll with a hand-painted face, or a soft plush portrait doll with a sewn face. For an anime-style doll, our artist first turns the photo into an anime portrait, and the doll is sewn from that.

We also make reversible dolls that flip to show a different mood, and clothes for fabric or vinyl dolls. People order them for a wedding couple, a teacher who is retiring, a grandparent, or someone in the family serving far from home.

See mini-me dolls and character dolls.

Pets and realistic animals

Send photos of your cat, your dog or any other animal, and we sew a plush that looks like them: the markings, the shape of the ears, the color of the nose. We also make realistic stuffed animals, plush pet portraits for the wall and plush faux taxidermy.

See pet stuffed animals and realistic stuffed animals.

Mascots, prototypes and patterns

A company that wants its mascot as a single plush toy. A brand that needs a handmade prototype before a factory run. We do both, and we can also design the toy and draw up the sewing pattern your manufacturer will work from, for plush toys, soft dolls and puppets.

See mascot plush toys and patterns and prototypes.

Toys that bring something back

Some orders have nothing to do with a character. Maybe it’s the rabbit you slept with as a kid and lost in a move, and all that’s left is one old photo. Or a pet who is gone.

We remake lost childhood toys from whatever pictures survive, and sew pets from photos so there is something to hold again. See lost toy replicas and memorial pet plush.

You see it before it ships

We send photos of the finished toy and change what you don’t like before it’s packed. That’s included, not an extra.
