tumblrs message system is a bit like messenger pigeons only they’re chickens and you just kind of throw them in the direction of the recipient and hope they find their way
Want so bad. I’d love that Octavia, that Coco is adorable, and Bon Bon is lookin lovely.
I found purchase links! Well, for Octavia and Coco. And a bunch of other ponies. I’d be careful purchasing from that site though, I see a ton of knock off and stolen-art items.
another option is eBay (at least then you have buyers protection)
I know of 2 sellers that stock those plushies (and more) here and here
(co-incidentally, those plushies appear to be made by the same people behind the onlyfactory site. they’re decent quality, for what you pay. )
(actually, going to edit in a tag to youobviouslyloveoctavia here. that second ebay link is an Australian seller, w/ free shipping within AU. if you were looking for purchase links)
Thanks for the heads-up. I found the first seller after I reblogged the post, but the second is new to me. I wasn’t gonna get the Coco plushie, but I’m tempted now that it has Australian prices and free shipping.
A lot of the problems with these types of sellers though is that they steal plushie designs. Hopefully that isn’t the case with this.
From what I’ve been able to gather, these are the same people who were behind the onlyfactory site (aka frontwinner). many of these are actually plushies that they had people posting to the site wanting made, that they’ve made but for some reason never sold there. going on my experience with the site, they do have their own pattern (I’m basing this off what they said and the various progress shots they posted while prototyping various character) Naturally I can’t be 100% sure, but it seems like it may be the case.
Of course an offically licensed product of the quality that Nici produces would be optimal imo, but I doubt we’ll see that anytime soon.
