Well, as the guy who does merch management for quite a few artists, I take the extra weight of doing that sort of work from the artist for, as some partners have put it, “an unbeatable price.” Likely referring to my sales cut. As mentioned, I also offer funding for production into merch that are things I don’t already do myself (currently just high quality prints).
 
I guess what I’m saying is, I prevent the job part of making money from merch from weighing your shoulders, by doing that part myself, and you still get the vast majority of gross sales.
 
If you ever feel interested, feel free to contact me. Ask any questions you like, if you do.

It’s just something I’ve never really had interest in doing. I’ve always been worried that capitalizing off of this would turn it from a hobby I enjoy into a job I have to do :P

This is why you have another company or manufacturer make it for you, and you have someone like me manage the logistics of it and determine who pays for the production (I help my business partners with production costs occasionally, for things like comics.), so you can focus on the art and such.
 
I can easily see a small or large vinyl figure of her. Just needs some 3d modeling done that a manufacturer will be able to use, which honestly isn’t difficult for someone that knows it (it’d be either my job or something that also going into production costs), and then getting an order made, and then putting those on an online store, which I just so happen to be working on.
 
Hell, add some functionality. She could hold pens/pencils, function as a paper weight, or maybe a mouse cord bungee if it was made with even more thought in her design.
 
You should capitalize on this concept at some point. Just my opinion.

Yeah, bean bag chairs weren’t never in super high demand, but I still think they’re neat.
 
And a full 40’ long Kalianne plushie probably wouldn’t be very in demand either. But, like, scale it down to a max size of somewhere around 3’4” - 4’ (with the regular sizes being probably about half that) and that spunds like it’d be much more reasonable.
 
Then again, I have no perspective or point of reference for any of this, I’m just talking about what would seem to make sense to me as someone with 0 experience in plushie production or sales or anything of the sort.

Bean bag wise, we’re probably looking at $200+ for a well-done one at purchase. Bean bag chairs also don’t sell well on a global market layout.
 
Plushies and figures, however, do.
 
And these are also radically cheaper to produce and enjoyed by a wider audience.
 
I can already see the potential, what it may look like, the potential price, and I know several production companies capable of it.
 
Heck, if I had a good 3D printer, I’d be capable of it myself.

I could probably get it figured out. The logistics. I already do that for my business partners, when it comes to comics.
 
Maybe something is in the future. We know when the sun rises, but not what the day brings.

It would need to be a firm in the upper body, and loose in the rest of it. Easy to do for any moderately-experienced plushie maker, but it just takes more time and costs a bit more.
 
Not that we’re not willing to pay that, right? XD
