meet the Teddy
Teddy: Soft, huggable, and cuddle-safe. Named for the classic ‘teddy bear’ and the heirloom, childhood favorite plush bears that we all treasured, NN Teddies are the perfect companion for conventions and bedtime alike. They have a satisfyingly squishy head and body with big, sweet shining eyes; weighted, floppy arms and legs; and of course, big tails and ears! They’re deluxe plushies that you can still PLAY with.
Teddies are BIG! <3
Size:
Height: 12" + ears/horns (usually ~14-16" total)
Head Width: ~8" + ears/horns
Head Depth: ~ 8" or ~ 12” for dragon snouts
Weight: 1.4 lb+
Materials:
Each Teddy plush is made from pettable Minky with plastic beadfill weight in its paws and butt, polyester stuffing to fill it, large (25-27mm) acrylic eyes, and a cute little plastic nose.
The majority of the plush is made of 3mm smooth Minky, but we also use specialty materials and techniques as the design requires: lycra, fleece, magnets, stabilizer, foam, buttons and zippers, armature and wire, metal or plastic studs for piercings, fashion fabrics for clothes, and more.
Every Teddy wears my embroidered maker’s tag, both to prove authenticity and so that you can always find and contact me if your Teddy should ever need some TLC!
Adaptability:
We’ve adapted Teddy to encompass a truly impressive range of species and body features.
Special modifications like Tall body, Fat body, Dragon face, Round face, Animal Crossing body, and more, have been developed to answer the needs of every original design and fursona we’ve created. We now can represent nearly any species!
We’ve made dogs, wolves, cats big and small, foxes, otters, dragons, Dutch Angel Dragons, sharks, monsters, hippos, mice, monsters, rabbits, hyenas, pit bulls, deer, goo monsters, digital monsters, passerines and parrots, an Eevee, an octopus, a bear, a Kamen Rider, and even a Xenomorph!
An exceptionally complex project, this Teddy Xenomorph required complex structuring, quilting, soft-sculpture, internal lights and battery pack, armature in the tail and spine, vinyl and pleather spines and scales, and a completely redesigned head!
Pricing: the Teddy base price is $450 for a design with simple markings and color changes which requires minimal extra drafting (such as specialized tails, wings, etc). The price includes free shipping and a lifetime warranty against flaws and typical damages! A Teddy’s cost increases with the complexity of the design, averaging $600 USD! As with all our commissionable plush styles, we happily offer payment plans on any Teddy.
Example: Gale here combines several levels of complexity. Her body shows a lack of complex detail and coloration changes, and her hairstyle is relatively simplistic. But other elements require specialty patterning and additional effort: the uniquely shaped ears, the appliqued cheek markings, the feathered tail made of fleece, and the fleece feathering down her spine.
While her body is relatively simple, her tail and spine are very complex, so in total, Gale displays an above-average degree of complexity. If I was commissioned to make Gale, she would cost approximately $600.
