Seems like sales are down...can't sell anything on eBay or even Bonanza lately, which seems to be a trend with eBay this time of year for the past 5-years! And the mass production (including the illegal ones on eBay) from China are just putting a knife into plushie sales. Those mass productions put a BIG kink in plushie sales last year at BronyCon. All I saw in people's hands were more of the mass produced cheap plushies and less of the beautifully done USA Made plushies. Sad.This is how I make my living, but nothing is selling, and I don't make crap products and I began to get depressed about the whole situation was even thinking of just closing up shop after the few commissions I have are done. Then I said to myself, nope you're not doing that because 'you have patterns' sitting in your sewing just begging to be made LOL!So, I'm trying to find the unusual poses as well as characters that no one has even thought about doing.It funny as everyone does the same old pony stance and as soon as someone makes a new position, like the laying flat beanie or sitting pony, everyone and their aunt and uncle are suddenly doing those poses, and there just becomes too many of the same thing floating around. If we're to make any kind of money doing this, we have to go beyond the norm and not do what everyone else is doing. What also gets me is that as soon as a new character shows up, EVERYONE is out to beat the other plushie makers to make that 'first plushie of that character' instead of just taking your time and making a nice plushie. This isn't a race to the finish for Pete's sake LOL! And fans are expecting to see that plushie up on the internet like the 'next day'! Really?Can't wait to see what you have in store w/Pinkie and Derpy! Let me know how you do with Flutters and hopefully both of us are on the same track
