Gloves | 11,790 Administrator · Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Basically, there's a service where for no upfront cost for VGS we can get plushies made and you can buy 'em. The plushies are professionally designed and built, then shipped out. They're of actually pretty good looking quality. The catch is that we'd need to sell 200 minimum to be able to do it, so before putting in a bunch of effort to make it a thing, I want to gauge interest. Knowing we're a smaller community I'm not sure that there's 200 folks out there who would want one, but I also don't see any harm in tossing up a poll to see. The price per plush would be $42 USD by the looks of it, presumably plus shipping. Here's a few example plushies so you can see the general quality: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A. | 1,139 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 It's highly unlikely 200 would sell at that price. T-shirts didn't sell nearly that many and they are a lot cheaper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,790 Administrator · Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Just now, B.A. said: It's highly unlikely 200 would sell at that price. T-shirts didn't sell nearly that many and they are a lot cheaper. That's my thinking. It's a lofty goal, and not likely reachable. But if like 50 people say "yeah", maybe I look into another service with a lower threshold or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,102 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Nah, $42 for a plushie is a no go for me, $20 or less for shelf filler lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kguillemette | 1,545 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I would love to add a sage to my plushie collection, I'd sleep on 42, but $30 or less would be a no brainer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around $20, and something about the size of a Beanie Baby, and I'd be in. 53 minutes ago, The Count said: I like the idea, but that price point is too high. I personally wouldn't mind having something on top of my CRT on the opposite side of my NintendoAge hat to balance out the display.

LastCat | 246 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I would if the price was a bit lower than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox | 1,667 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Naw don’t have room for any oversized stuff. Something smaller like the world of Nintendo figures or a MUSCLE/Monster in my Pocket figure would fit neatly on a shelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,727 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I'd order one if it were $20 or $30, for $40 or so I'd probably still grab one, but only if I had the funds in PayPal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirVillain | 490 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Apologies for being a downer, but I voted no. Not so much into plushies (only have one b/c it was gifted to me) and just wanted to vote for statistical purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,742 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) I like the idea and I hope it works out, but plushies aren't for me. They take up too much room. I would consider just giving it to my kids, but they have so many already, plus they would have no idea what it was in reference to, and $40 is a bit much for something my kids will play with for 5 minutes and never again. As much as I hate to say it, I doubt you will get 200 people to vote on this thread, let alone vote yes and order. Just out of curiosity, how many VGS shirts have been sold?
