So I'm thinking....

Few years back I made small pocket plush transformers and sold out of my backpack for promotion to get people intrested. It's been a while since I've last made a large haul. A few years to be Exact i think Protoman's TFA Rodimus plush was the last one i made...

Anyway i'm thinking of getting back into making them and maybe work on larger ones and sell them at cons. So the question is and i'm hoping you guys can help. What is an average amount i should make as stock if i were to get a table at cons? And would you guys be interested if i did sell them?

There's pics of them in my photo album if ya wanna pop over to my pro and check them out.

Re: So I'm thinking....

You would have to figure out how much the table costs and then how many you would need to sell to turn a profit me thinks.

Those are pretty cool. What size are they? It's a little hard to tell from the pics.

for the plushies? i usually sell them 20$ each for in person, like if i was at a con and/or was meeting up to drop off a local commission.

30$ for mail(20$+10$ for shipping) for across Canada and the US. haven't had commissions from overseas so i have yet to come up with a price.

i figure if i sold at a table i'd prolly sell them 25$ each. i'm making lil accessory items like the Matrix or Energon cubes and maybe some other stuff, i'm basically making things as i go.

so far there hasn't been a character i couldn't make...except maybe the gestalts as my menasor doesn't look quite right. but i've made mostly G1 and 1 TFA characters, i'm still working on the other gens designs. i'm afraid to attempt bayformers...
