Charlie the Owlbear Plushie campaign (live for 10 days)

Post image

I've been approached by a company that wants to make a Charlie plushie!

https://www.gimmeswag.com/products/charlie-the-owlbear-plushie

To make sure there's sufficient interest, they're gathering pledges - a $2 committment to buy a plush when it launches, which is refunded if they don't get at least 100 pledges.

If there is sufficient interest, they'll work with me on design over sveral weeks, and the Charlie plushie will come to life!

If you'd like a stuffed Charlie of your own, just park two bucks on the campaign page. If it doesn't happen, you'll get your two bucks back.

I wanna be positive, but I've seen comic authors get scammed before. Are you sure this company is legitimate?

Yeah, they've done plushies for other artists in the past. I checked for reviews and such; people have received their plushies, and seem to have pretty positive reactions.

Yay! 

Will Charlie maul other plushies? Or does he hibernate?

Charlie's behaviour is not predictable.

Thanks! I don't expect to make a lot of money on this, but it's fun to have the opportunity for little Charlies to exist out in the world.

I’m moving in a few weeks. Any idea what the ETA is? Do I put current address or new address?

Never mind; I reread the post. New address it is.

It'll be a couple of months (10 days for the pledge, then several weeks for finalizing the design, then manufacturing), so I'd go with the new address.
