Gregory's ServerHe’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.

@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.

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

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

@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.

@Gargron aus welchem Material wird er/sie gemacht? Für Kinder ab wieviel Jahren? Waschbar in der Waschmaschine? Wenn ich welche bestelle, möchte ich sie an zum Beispiel an eine (vor kurzem einjährig gewordene) Großcousine verschicken. 😘📦🇦🇺

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

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

@Gargron Absolutely gorgeous! The plushy's not bad either. ;-) (Just kidding. Congratulations on the achievement!)

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

@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 you have to publish the pattern or it can not represent mastodon as foss!

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 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 😃

@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.

@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.

@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. 
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.

@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…

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

@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. |
@Gargron ITS LOOKING GOOD!
