I went to Budsies for a custom plush as I had heard that they were best at replicating the style of a reference; in preperation I had custom drawn a professional concept sheet, with views of all sides and some of the parts with seperate images for better clarity - I was hoping doing this would leave zero room for error and my precious little guy would come out perfectly but unfortunately there were plenty of glaring errors and oddities; - The character’s fur collar was replaced with a single flat shape on the back of its neck. - The wings were completely misshapen despite them being both simple and given specific attention in the concept sheet. - Any small markings were sewn on over the plush’s main fabric instead of being integrated into the base pattern; this has caused some of them to peel off overtime and also shed small bits of fabric all over the place. - The arms are completely out of proportion, being weirdly long compared to the rest of the plush. They were also overstuffed and had to be sewn to the stomach to keep them in their resting position instead of being left floppy to keep the same effect. - Speaking of overstuffing, the character’s torso is also very dense. He is a large round shape so I was expecting it to be a little odd, but it’s to an uncomfy degree. The stomach is also a very strange shape and looks ugly from most angles. There are many additional small errors, but these would be nitpicking more than anything and just bloat up the review. Overall, if you’re not too fussed about your character being exact to the reference then Budsies might be right for you, but I wouldn’t go to them if you’re looking for perfection.

First of all, the customer service was very friendly. They asked a lot of questions about my budsie, they even drew me how it should look like after my descriptions and pictures since I am bad at drawing. - I sent them pictures of the character I wanted but they said it must be a self drawn picture due to copyright of this character which I totally understand. Whatsoever they made a wonderful self drawn picture which looked just like the character even cuter and I was very excited to get this Budsie. They reached out to me a lot and the communication was very good. Also the Budsie came in time before Christmas even sooner then I expected and they had to ship it to Austria. So props to that. I ordered a big sized plushie and it is really big and very huggable. The only thing I am disappointed about, is how the Budsie turned out. It doesn’t really look like the picture. They got the arms and the tail totally wrong- sadly even after all those descriptions and pictures I send and even after they made such a wonderful drawing of it. It seemed like they haven’t communicated with the sewer about how it should look like at all and they just took the information of this one single drawing (which they still didn’t got quite right) It is still cute somehow it just looks different now and it’s kind of disappointing every time I look at it bc I know how it should have looked like from the picture. I wouldn’t have payed so much money for it if I had knew before how it would turn out. I would recommend to order a sneak peak with your budsie because maybe then they can still make some changes so it would turn out exactly as you wished.
