He’s here! The prototype, anyway. He’s big, squishy, and friend-shaped. We’ll try to make him as affordable as possible. You’ll have to wait a couple more months to get one, but we might open pre-orders relatively soon.

A stuffed toy in the shape of a round Mastodon, beige, with pink cheeks. He looks large in my wife’s arms who is hugging him.

@Gargron Such a great 'mascot'. Very cute, great design!

Neblib 🥥🌴

@Gargron super cute, but will there be a 1/4 size version? That toy looks huge!

Erik Uden 🍑

@Gargron You don't understand, I NEED one, right now :mastodance:

DELETED

@Gargron Yeah, I need one for my granddaughter.

Shawn Hooper (he/him)

@derickr Oh neat, I didn't know about that site either! I need to improve my elephpant collection. I have one lonely blue one sitting on my desk.

Moritz Dietz

@Gargron Ah, I see you own a or multiple cats. :D Love the plushy!

Didier

@Gargron A fluffy friend for my TUX-penguin! 😍

@Gargron Will there be a blue/grey version?

Crowjane

@Gargron
Aww…isn’t he the just the cutest?

@Gargron Even though I'm not a fan of Mastodon, I do gotta love the Elephant mascot that I'd even buy one.
Jessie Nabein :neofox_peek_owo:

@Gargron :blobfoxaww: :neofox_aww: SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If there's a way to get notified of pre-orders please let me know!!!

@Gargron this is great! :)
where can I get mine?

shadowwwind

@Gargron this is the only post with #Plushtodon

But the plush looks awesoooooome!

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Kestral

@Gargron @Edent Will there be a limited edition version signed by John Mastodon?

K2

@Gargron YAY!! What a fun project and such an adorable result outcome. Many thanks!

@Gargron My excitement is immeasurable and my day is made.

@Gargron The first social network to be funded entirely by plushie sales

@Gargron PLEASE make it accessible without +40€ shipping :neocat_cry:

Eugen Rochko

@BigAngBlack The logistics won't allow multiple colors. Minimum production quantity is 500. So unless we can sell 500 of each color, it's not possible.

Ang Black

@Gargron
😋So you're saying there's a chance...

Kite

@Gargron can we get some sort of guarantee that this wont be produced under sweat shop labor conditions?

Eugen Rochko

@jackemled You mean ours specifically? Still workshopping it. Maybe Levi, as short for Leviathan, because he's such a big toy.

Simon Zerafa :donor: :verified:

@Gargron

Does the mascot have an official name? 🙂🤷‍♂️

jonburr

@Gargron

Made in which country?
Sustainable product, or another throwaway toy for the landfill?

Sorry if I'm not being sycophantic enough, it's easy to be cynical, and all that.

Graham Downs

@Gargron Absolutely gorgeous!

The plushy's not bad either. ;-)

(Just kidding. Congratulations on the achievement!)

vladcampos

@Gargron ❤️🐘 Please try to ship from EU to EU, instead of the current shipping from the UK.

Echedelle ⚧

@vladcampos@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social not sure if I will ask for one, but I hope they dont discriminate Canary Islands which is part of EU too.

@Gargron its huge. i love it. when and where can i get it.

Eugen Rochko

Out of curiosity, if the price point was around 30 USD, and we kept the shipping around or below 10 USD, and you wanted to order one of these, which region would you be ordering from? Trying to get an idea for the logistics.

:idle: OpenSoul :verified:

@Gargron 30+10 € it's really too much, IMHO

Anyway little #masty it's so cute! 😉

Eugen Rochko

@opensoul How much do you expect a toy of this size to cost?

:idle: OpenSoul :verified:

@Gargron 20-25 maximum IMHO, anyway I'm not an expert of these kind of toy, this was only my personal price propensity to buy one 😃

Jérôme

@Gargron you should charge what you need to charge. There’s a market for everyone and there’s always someone that will want to pay less. Can’t please everyone, especially since it’s bulky, shipping will always be big no matter why.

Friedhof der Kuschelbiere

@Gargron
I wouldn't order it. I only love Plushies if they are ugly. And that Plushie isn't ugly at all! But, away from that, the price for it and for the shipping sounds quiet fair to me.

Hobbits Wife

@gargron that’s be £31 ish for the UK so I’d really have to love it at that price & it’s quite a large size. Smaller one, cheaper price, maybe.

Rafael Masoni

@Gargron I’d say USD25+10 would be more reasonable, but it’s also too big. I’d definitely buy one if it was 10~15cm tall.

Nick G

@Gargron

At USD 40 or equivalent, I'd pass.

Rick Belanger

@Gargron Canada (although we do have a US address for shipping cost efficiencies).

FCLC

@Gargron id be surprised if you were able to make any margin shipping from the US into Canada at 40 USD all in.

Same time, yes, I want/need

Eugen Rochko

@fclc Not really in it for the margin. Most of all would just love to see people have these. Still, can't be losing money on it either, so we'll see.

FCLC

@Gargron ah ok.

I was looking at it from the PoV where any profit/margin is effectively a donation to the project!

40 USD is roughly 50 CAD. It’s not inexpensive, but for a large, niche plush, isn’t all that weird.

From the images, it looks a lot like a squishmallow type plush?

Eugen Rochko

@fclc There is a video in my recent posts where you can see how squishy it is.

FCLC

@Gargron I love him(?) and would do evil things (recommend EMacs) in exchange for one.

At 50 Cad, I’d pick one up

Larry Staples

@Gargron If you want usable Japan data, I think you have to ask in Japanese.

riv

@Gargron avid plushie enjoyer and purchaser here, i think those prices are great for this size and quality plushie, especially if they are ethically made (:

sqrt(-1)

@Gargron
Brazil, but probably it would cost ~200 BRL plus taxes (maybe)

corvax

@Gargron Any idea if there'll be multiple colour options?

Eugen Rochko

@corvax Everything depends on the numbers. There’s a minimum of 500 units per batch. If 500 is all there’s demand for, then we won’t be able to have different colors.

Oliver Kamer

@Gargron not sure if people being super excited about the plushy are very representative of the broader audience, but I would go to Germany to pick one up…

Bed

@Gargron Australia, which means there’s no way you can keep shipping under US$10 though :(

Scott Matter

@Gargron

Does the world need more consumer goods?

can

@Gargron If you're looking for a partner to make shipping easier for EU: I run a boutique fulfillment company (based in Hamburg) and we only work with brands that follow some kind of societal or environmental impact. Would love to work with you. Let me know if you want to learn more.

Eugen Rochko

@can That sounds interesting. I can see it's @ravioli. Let's talk over e-mail? Mine is eugen@joinmastodon.org.

can

@Gargron @ravioli Exactly. Sending you an email right now.

Markus Werle

@Gargron Is it possible to obtain it without the elephant and with a green shirt instead of the blue one?

#Merchtodon #Plushtodon #Mastodon

Konato

@Gargron I'd be surprised if you keep 10 USD for international shipping, but other than that 30 USD seems good for the cute plush

pieceofthepie :coffefied:

@Gargron I love it! But also it's a bit big for me personally. If it was more elePHPant sized (1/3 ish) I'd probably pay €25 +p&p as that's the typical going rate for one of those.

elephpant.me/

Pimpdaddysupreme

@Gargron any chance of producing these fist sized? Something maybe the size of a baseball or softball would be easier to hand out at conventions, ship, and sit on a desk or shelf.
