It was probably because of bad timing if anything.

I've been looking for a gummy too. I love him.
>>
>>25389978

It's because they have to come up with a new pattern and iron out the kinks to make it look decent enough to sell. This means they have to spend time and money on something that is niche as fuck which likely means many won't requests for so their time and money are most likely tossed into the garbage because people will keep requesting pones.

>>
>>25390039
What crawled up your butt? I understand the process and of course Spike isn't as popular as the ponies, but he has a fan base and it would still be profitable to make him. It wouldn't be throwing away time and money.

>>25390086
>fan base
it's literally just slashy, tho.
>>
>>25390070
Cute Spike. Would cuddle.
>>
>>25390086

I'm not saying people don't like those characters it's just there isn't a huge interest in those characters in plush form and they would have to spend time and money for the few while they already have a pattern for the many. It's just business anon. And I don't feel like my post came off as rude, just more matter of fact.

>>25390024
That's a damn nice plush

I sent an email a week ago to a plush-maker who I paid for something back in July, and they said it'd be done in September, and I'm still waiting. This wait is killing me. I am really looking forward to this, but I don't know when it'll come.
>>
>>25390883
Sometimes it takes a LONG time. I commissioned a plushie April 14th and just got it last week, over 6 months later. Wound up being better with improved pattern but the wait did kill me too. Was frustrating but plushie is great.

Almost like the pic. Her wings are in the way and I cannot spoon her and it is killing me. I gotta be careful of her wings-I wish they were folded and sewn tightly to her body and not spread. Looks good but I can only sleep on my back and use her as a blanket. I love waking up to her looking at me though.

sure
I just need work on the head pattern a bit
the first one with the gusset going all the way down the center of the head is what I need, but the second pattern makes the head more round, so I'll be figuring out how to make them work together for what I want to have
and I can do WIP for that as well when I get to it, hopefully this week

lol goddamnit I'm ok with a normal plush. The Lyra-ized bowling ball fuzzy hole holds its own hilarity but I don't need a BD cockpocket to warm myself in. That Ponk pony pillow infographic is all I'm after. If I can fall asleep without drinking that would be a plus.

I had sworn that I would never own pony merch (official or not)

I didn't think I'd want a lewd either, but once I cuddled my Dash for the first time, it was pure heaven
I could not not get excited, I still do every time
and if you get a maker opened to that kind of option, I recommend going for it
for the price you're paying already, you might as well (at least a hidden zipper)
but that is up to you in the end, just speaking from experience

I remember before I got my giant Dashie, I was spooning my Scootaloo shoulder pony that I commissioned from the UK. She is not so great for spooning, only holding or sitting in my lap or hugging. I was desperately trying to spoon her.
>>
>>25395570
the 26 inch aurora pinkie I posted is actually full body sized, perfect for sleeping and snuggles. when she sits on your lap you can't see over her head

unless this is the anon that already ordered her, then i'm sorry for not shutting up about this one plush

because it's time consuming and the maker is just charging for their time, assuming minimum wage. Artisan crafts by hand have cost this much since before the industrial revolution, if we account for inflation and assume a living wage. These are not factory made by cheap exploited labor from walmart at slave wages.
Plushies are a luxury item and if you can't work hard and save up the money for your waifu then I'm not sure you love her.
>>
>>25398521
>because it's time consuming and the maker is just charging for their time.
Making video games is time consuming but the developers don't charge based on the time they spent making it. It's arguably harder and even more time consuming than making a plush.

>Artisan crafts by hand have cost this much since before the industrial revolution
I'm fairly certain that the artisan crafts from back then weren't fucking plushies half the time, something that takes even less time than most handmade items.

>These are not factory made by cheap exploited labor from walmart at slave wages.
You're right. They're made by greedy fucks instead.

>Making video games is time consuming but the developers don't charge based on the time they spent making it. It's arguably harder and even more time consuming than making a plush.
Video games take a long time to make. Of course, once they're made, you can re-sell the same code millions of times. A handmade plush is individual and can only be sold once. So if you were buying a custom made video game that only you would ever be able to play, then yes, it would probably be much more expensive than a custom plush.

Do you not even into economics, anon?

Time consuming, skill required for good looking ones, patterning, refining. Like >>25398521 said, they're a luxury item. For people who reeeally want their waifu, saving a few hundred/thousand is worth it.

>what is basic economics

When you pay for a plushmaker, part of what you're paying for is the materials and equipment, but you're mostly paying for is their time and experience.

You can make one yourself for a lot less money, but if you're working and make above minimum wage, the wages and free time lost making a plush end up being a lot more than if you paid someone else to make it.


It's a question of how valuable your time is ultimately. If it's worth nothing, go make one yourself.

>>25398572
>luxury item
No they aren't, they are far from luxury. However if they 'are' a luxury item, they're on of the lowest ends of the pyramid. Plushies are works of art, not luxuries. Same thing with paintings.

>>25398573
>Materials
Understandable to an extent, I suppose. But you should also have materials for said job when you need it.

>Equipment
Shitty excuse, you should always have the equipment you need at all fucking times, this is without a doubt a must.

>the wages and free time lost making a plush end up being a lot more than if you paid someone else to make it.
If it's your first few times, then sure. But there would be not much of a time difference between making one yourself and someone else doing it. Only thing is, one costs less and takes the same amount of time while the other costs a shitton for the same amount of time.

It's absurd. I would rather make one myself, yes, but my hands have nerve damage and so there isn't much I can do.
>>
>>25398459
Because they take fucking forever to make. As far as I know most plush makers don't make great money. Personally I'm not even sure if I'm breaking minimum wage.
>>
>>25398613
>Plushies are works of art, not luxuries.
Luxury (noun) - an inessential, desirable item that is expensive or difficult to obtain.
Oh, why look at that, a painting and a really good plush are difficult to obtain
Luxury also refers to the necessity of an item. You do not need a plush to live. You don't need a painting to live either.
Real art is high on the luxury pyramid as well, baiter.

>you should always have the equipment
good equipment doesn't just fall from from the heavens anon. A good embroidery machine, the thing that makes pony eyes and cutie marks look good, can cost thousands of dollars


If you don't like the state of plush today, then just please leave and stop shitposting.
>>
>>25398705
>Oh, why look at that, a painting and a really good plush are difficult to obtain.
For the former, it depends honestly. I've found some pretty high quality works for rather cheap. But as for the latter, it's not difficult to obtain a high quality plush, what the fuck are you talking about.

>Luxury also refers to the necessity of an item.
You're right, but plushies are still not a luxury.

>Real art is high on the luxury pyramid as well, baiter.
>real art
What constitutes as 'real art' and what makes it different from other art in general. You sound like a pretentious hipster that browses your cities art gallery and thinks "Yeah... I totally get it..." while sipping on starbucks.
>>
>>25398565
is it any different than spending 1k+ for a bed?
for a car?
for a house?
many argue that those are luxury items based on how much they cost, yet they are a basic item that almost everyone needs

>>25398613
I was going to say go make one yourself, but that sucks bro, sorry to hear that

anyway

>Understandable to an extent, I suppose. But you should also have materials for said job when you need it.
they purchase the materials when they get the commissions
most if not all these makers work out of their homes and some have jobs and or are students. so they are limited in time and space

>Shitty excuse, you should always have the equipment you need at all fucking times, this is without a doubt a must.
all machines can breakdown, so they need maintenance every so often

>No they aren't, they are far from luxury. However if they 'are' a luxury item, they're on of the lowest ends of the pyramid. Plushies are works of art, not luxuries. Same thing with paintings.
yes they are, they are an expensive item (especially depending on the persons income) that is not a necessity for standard comfort
paintings are meant to only be looked at and admired
Plushies are meant to be held and loved

if you make 100k a year, you could easily afford a plush
but to someone who makes 20k it's almost a pipe dream for them to afford a plush of their waifu and of good to great quality

there are many reasons why an anon would get a plush, and each anon has differing reasons
>>
>>25398739
>You're right, but plushies are still not a luxury.
You can separate every consumable into two categories: Luxury and necessity. Necessities are needed for survival, luxuries are not. Under this definition of the term luxury, plushes are indeed a luxury.

>Personally I'm not even sure if I'm breaking minimum wage.

Sadly me neither, and I'm one of those awful people charging $1000+ for a big pony. If I could make them assembly line and pop them out all day I would.
>>
>>25398768
>If I could make them assembly line and pop them out all day I would.
best option for that would be to make it your full time job, then you MIGHT have the time
but that's the thing, 99% of plush makers are by themselves, which makes it take that much longer to complete

Agatrix does it full time, while taking care of her kid
she pops one out every few days on top of making a plush once a couple weeks for sale on Ebay
I honestly wonder if she sleeps
yet she's still falling behind, a "biting off more than she can chew" situation
she should close her commission list until she has caught up
>>
>>25398829
Even with working full time I couldn't pop them
out. I would need to divide the labor out to get that to happen.

WhiteDove supposedly has 4 of her family members helping her. Probably why she can get a plush done in less than 24 hours of work.
>>
>>25398829
Agatrix is backed up for a year easy. I count 66 customers on her commission list, some with multiple ponies. She must have nerves of steel.
>>
>>25398444

>>25399073
I can totally get behind an individual making fan-supported plushies in his or her spare time and selling a handfull a year.
They provide a unique service and don't hurt anyone for the most part.

I don't agree with someone who turns it into a full time job, enlisting the regular support of additional people to produce plushies of trademarked characters.
At that point, it's more than "cheating" unless it involves the proper license with Hasbro, and has a legit business set up.
It's basically a bootleg operation then.
I have no idea what her relation is with Hasbro, I'm just assuming she isn't set up as a legit business, since I've never seen the MLP logo on her plushies.

I heard they had C&D her at one point around the same time they did Hoppip for the infamous Lyra plush
if she's still making them, I'd imagine they came to some agreement
I think she posted her commission list at one point (which I heard was a main reason for the C&D), while I don't know what the numbers came to, it was well over 50k for that year

which may explain why she never changed her pattern since then, but still makes them...

She didn't technically get C&D'd, DA was asked to take down her list. Probably because she does make $50k+. Just looking at how many she hauls off to Bronycon with 4-5 months of work, it's insane ($50k alone), then she has commissions on top of that.
