It's about time that we had an /mppp/ again. What is it?>/mppp/ is the mass produced pony plushie project. itt we discuss mass producing inexpensive pony plushies so every autist can have a cheap cuddlable plushie of their very own. How does this work?>Submit plushie design to plushie manufacturer in China>They make the plushies>(you) pay for the plushie>????>receive pony plushieWant to help? Here's the assets that we've made including the latest design. Feedback is greatly appreciated.>https://u.pone.rs/owxjgclb.7zqrd on the current situation of /mppp/:>Oly factory cannot create new designs right now. Their prototype designer left and they have not filled that role. Unclear if they will ever fill that role.>Symbiote has a prototype designer and can produce plushies for around $7-$7.50 a plush. It's cheaper with greater order volume. Minimum order is 500 units.>Symbiote cannot do individual invoicing and shipping. So, we need to get a 3PL company in China involved if we want to make shipping at all reasonable for non-US fags. >Other option is that the plushies can be sold at conventions for less than $15 or shipped from USA based warehouse for cost of manufacture + shipping + maybe taxes (depends on state). Very expensive for anyone not in USA to get some shipped to them.What needs to be done to make this real:>Find a reasonable 3PL company in Shenzhen that can ship with the epacket system. If any chinafags can help it’d be greatly appreciated.>Decide on final design of the plushie.>buy an adWhat is already decided:>I will be buying an order of plushies regardless to put up for adoption at MF4. Price will be cost of manufacture + design + shipping to myself + tax + booth cost. Expected price is well under $20 per plush. Hopefully less than $15 per plush. >Symbiote is the manufacturer. Oly factory cannot make anything they haven’t already designed and v1 filly won’t be made anymore. The v2 filly has already been done enough.>No one is making a profit from this project.>OP is a fag
>>43135935>v1 filly won’t be made anymoreWhy if I may ask? I mean I have 6 so my filly assets will only increase in value but v1 filly is being asked for constantly by anons
>>43135935uhhhhhhhhh make uhhhhhhhh my oc
>still haven't gotten the second half of my last v2 filly orderI've sent bunch of emails but no one ever replied. Does it mean the Chinks have scammed me?
i want a twiggie
I require the Tracy Plush
>>43135935MAKE CHRYSALIS
>>43136362I'm not not the original guys who did the first three filly runs. Wouldn't feel right to do. I just want to continue the idea even if it means getting different logistics involved.Also fixed my captcha.>>43136387They may just have.>>43136420Me too, Anon. And a Floorb and sgt. Reckless too... Symbiote also does accessories and add-ons to the plushie for cheap prices. We're talking a dollar or less per plush to get a helmet or knife sewn on.>>43136441No, she's licensed. Buy The Official Merchandise™
Still need an unlicensed Tixie plush to rival Twiggie
where's my terri plush??
>>43136692She could be done, but she'd be expensive to manufacture. She's a very special pony.
>>43136587need Floorb and Reckless
>>43135935>sold at conventionswell I'd be screwed, I missed out on all the Mare Fair plush because I can't attend cons
>>43135935Didn't Olyfactory make a Nyx plush?
>>43136692Should come with a phone that has CIA as caller ID calling
>>43136692I want this
Reckless plush when?
>>43136587MAKE LEGALLY DISTINCT CHRYSALIS
>>43136845Those two are probably next. Floorb should be very cheap to make because blankflank. Reckless accessories will have to be decided on later.
>>43135935Make N Y X and D Y X
>>43136587>wouldn't feel right to dowhy not? is not like anonfilly or the patterns are copyrighted or if they forbade you to do it. If everyone wants some v1 fags that could be awesome.
>>43136441https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010522849227.html>>43136859The closest thing they made was this, a pony version of Cynder from Spyro the dragon. I read on some point that Olyfactory can't make more because they lost the patterns.
>>43135935Make Zippers.
>>43135935The burden of making Troona plush is now upon you.
if rerun I would multiple of either twiggles and aryanneif original I would multiple floorb
What are the chances I can find the first /mppp/ anonfilly plush sold second hand?
Oh cool, this again. Are any of the people from the last time this came up still involved? From the website, perhaps?
Would the custom Symbiote be the same quality as their official ones? Because a Symbiote Reckless would be a dream come true
Plush is dead
>>43137513Unlikely as most have already given theirs away and don't want to give away their extra stash
>>43137537I would assume so given the Mare Fair mascots were all done by Symbiote.
>>43135935Are we finally getting Loona?
>bump
Is this going anywhere? Timeframe?
>>43140030the pony hasn't even been chosen yet
>>43140034I mean…when does like a poll or vote start?
>>43136587>I'm not not the original guys who did the first three filly runs. Wouldn't feel right to do.Don't act like a furfag on twitter. You're not stealing anyone's clout or ideas or money by making filly v1.The same thing happened with the 4cc scarves. Original guy said he'd make the 3 stars version some day, then he fucked off. So someone else picked it up and gave the people what they want.
>>43137204Or just say fuck it and do real Woona. Who's gonna stop you?
>>43140409Aaaiiiiieeee you do NOT have my permisshun to make her you heckin' thief!!!
>>43140417Sue me, nut muncher!
>>43138555Even if I offer to pay?
WHAT PLUSHIE IS BEING MADE IM CONFUSED
>>43141066None, because it's a grift and you fell for it
>>43141074
>>43141066They're making my oc
>>43141066Jackie Chan
>If any chinafags can help it’d be greatly appreciated.I'll ask some Alibaba logistic "suppliers" if they can arrange something reasonable.You know where to find me.
>>43137249We're only looking at original designs. Floob or Reckless will be next if this works.>>43137519Wolvan and hi_anon so far. Wolvan is helping with website stuff and hi_anon has been helping try to contact Oly. >>43137537Yes>>43140030Timeframe breakdown:>1-2 weeks prototyping is done>1-2 months orders are taken>2-3 months plushies are made >July plushie invoices are sent out and plushies begin to ship>Mare Fair additional plushies are put up for adoption This all assumes that we can find a good distributor in China that doesn't cost much. It seems that there are some 3PL companies that give the first month of warehousing for free. If that is the case we can have a month long period for people to pay their invoices. On the last day of free warehousing any remaining stock is shipped to USA to be distributed at MF or held as extras in case the mail eats a filly. >>43141066Anonfilly v3 from the OP. Now with heart hooves because I said so.>>43142181You're a gentleman and a scholar Anon. I'll find (you)
>>43143169>Now with heart hooves because I said so. based????
>>43143169Aren't the hearts in the wrong direction? If she's gonna point at you it will be upside down
>>43137249>>43143169If we get to Floor Board we gotta have an extra stuffed Dot Matrix too
>>43143793That's how hooves work yes retard
>>43143793>>43144038They are in the wrong direction if youre rather wanting G5s design.
>>43144063from what I see on boorus, they were drawn both ways even before G5 and about 60-70% are the correct version (guessing not counting).I never cared much for the hearths on hooves so I never paid attention to it
>>43135935FLOOR BORED PONY PLUSHIE PLSSSSSWe already had Anonfilly Nasa and Ary. It's time for the best NEETMare!
>>43144063G5 ponies have upside down hooves, yeahI don't know a single person who wants G5 anonfilly
>>43144375Every 1 in 1000 fillies comes with a free G5 filly. Not as a bonus, but as a burden
>>43144449kek
can we get the milky plushie finally?
>>43144115I also vote for Floorb.
>>43144115How about Frosty again? I don't have her sadly.
>>43135935>first run will be Anonfilly v3, if that's successful, the next run will be a new pony>some anons from the previous project is working on this>Symbiote will manufacture the plush just like the Marefair mascots>Minimum 500 ordered neededOkay I don't mind having another Anonfilly, but can you guys make it filly size this time? I'm thinking something like Symbiote CMCs. Also make the mane big "fluffy" this time around. I don't want a zipper-anon.
>>43143169For the love of Celestia give her a dock under that tail. All the Mare Fair Mares have them and its very kino.
Updates for today:>My LLC registration has been approved. This means that, for me anyway, taxes get less complicated, the company can be represented better to Symbiote and distributors, and invoicing can be done better. Small Horse Imports... May change the name in the future to something like Small Horse Distribution Systems. For now that's the LLC.>News on cost:If we get just 500 plushies with hearts embroidered on the hooves it costs $7.46/unit. If we don't get the hearts it's $7.26/unit. The cost is so negligible it should not be an issue to proceed with the design.>Shipping 500 plushies to a single USA address would be ~$1500. This would put an in person distribution of 500 fillies at $11.14 a plushie. I'd charge $12 per at these rates to keep things even and give myself a small overhead for other BS like gas to move these to the con, tax shenanigans, and other little things.>Price breakdown: (7.46*500)+1500+250+50+55=5585/500=11.17>7.46 for cost of manufacturing>1500 for shipping>250 for cost of prototype>50 for paying artist to make reference renders>55 MF table cost>>43143793No because we don't do G% here>>43143923Lets not get ahead of ourselves. But I mean I wouldn't be opposed to it either>>43144532In due time>>43144809This could probably be done. We have to see what the prototyper comes up with and go from there.
>>43144710I can absolutely ask about making the proportions similar to the filly Luna plush they are making. The mane will be larger than Oly because Symbiote does better manes in general. I can give some instructions, but we'll have to see what the prototyper comes up with.
>>43145150Based as hell. I for one am excited for our new non-betafag plush procurer. The idea we may soon have projects for Floorb,Sarge, Woona, Milky, and Little Pip is a some really good news.
>>43136587>>43143169>v1 won't be made because the original guys aren't involved>look inside>the original guys are involvedwho are you trying to fool exactly?
>>43145150Wait...only 1500...Id pay more than that to have Tixies made
>>43145150how about for shipping to countries other than America? like Canada/Europe countries
>>43145150Would there be a cap on how many fillies one could buy in person? I ask purely because there was at least one dude that ordered 256 v2 fillies and I don't doubt someone out there would be ballsy enough to do so at a booth
>>43145162>proportions similar to the filly Luna plush they are makingThat sounds good, but we don't know how big filly Luna is. The legs are definitely shorter, but the promo pics makes her look as big as a normal pony, but that could just be me.
>>43145150>Shipping 500 plushies to a single USA address would be ~$1500.I hope that you'll consider shipping to other countries and not doing one big shipment for cons only like the mare fair plushies
>>43145425Not all of them, and not something I'm interested in doing.>>43145430You certainly could get 500 Tixies made if you have a spare $5k laying around>>43145503No idea, I imagine more because of higher import taxes. >>43145510Probably day one only, and even then I'll make it high like 5 per. I don't want to take any home except my personal 2. >>43145530Really the filly proportions just mean bigger head and a bit shorter legs. It shouldn't be too difficult to do. We'll see what Symbiote can do.>>43145539I'd really like to be able to find a distributor in China so these can be more than just a con thing. Being only a con thing is sort of the least preferable option.
>>43145578>Not all of themyou can't tell me that hi_anon isn't Princess Shitposter, it's too obvious>and not something I'm interested in doing.and already the story changes
Finally, a new /mppp/ thread.I have three Verity plushies sitting around, so if any Anon wants to get one they can post a throwaway email here and I will contact them.
>>43145259>Little PipWoah, I can't believe the main character from the critically acclaimed game Remains has become so popular that people want her plushie!Jokes aside, there are companies Makeship/Fourthwall that specialize on plushies and often feature videogame characters.https://www.makeship.com/how-it-workshttps://fourthwall.com/products/custom-plushieIf Anons want Littlepip we can:1. Contact Makeship/Fourthwall to produce the plushies and deliver them to Anons.2. Contact Remains devs and ask them to post about this Littlepip plushie on Steam.Makeship is a premium option ($30+shipping), but they can make all kind of apparel and extra items on plushies.So we can expect that they will make Littlepip in her Stable suit and with Pipbuck.And they ship globally directly to the buyer, so there is no need to handle the orders personally.
>>43145832yes, where do I sign up
>>43145578>filly proportions just mean bigger head and a bit shorter legs.Yeah I don't doubt Symbiote, they are currently the best company with the most experience. I just don't want a repeat with Anonfilly v2 MOGGING my Symbiote plushes. Fillies should be smol!!>>43145832I have no experience with Fourthwall, but does makeship have any experience making ponies let alone quadruped plushes? I have a feeling it'll turn out like that terrible youtooz Pinkie.
>>43145942>I have no experience with Fourthwall, but does makeship have any experience making ponies let alone quadruped plushes? I have a feeling it'll turn out like that terrible youtooz Pinkie.They definitely can create a sitting mare like this (looks suspiciously close to an MLP pony, if you ask me):https://www.makeship.com/products/cybermare-plushieBut they also do the design phase together with the person who creates the campaign (not for free, of course).So we can just provide them with the Olyfactory design as a reference if we want.Also we can give them the Verity sewing pattern traced by Anon:https://files.catbox.moe/4qd3za.pdf
>>43145578How can I turn $5k into...Tixie...
>>43145578I know you said it's the least preferable option, but please, for the love of God, don't make them con only.
>>43135935>three (3) runs of anonfilliesChrist
>>43146463>>three (3) runs of anonfilliesThere were two runs of v1 Anonfilly and two runs of v2 Anonfilly.So this run is the 5th.
>>43146155>Tixieumm i think u mean trixie
>>43146463Your right, we need an Anon plush.
>>43146668anonfilly plush already exists
>>43145832We may be able to get a Littlepip plushie from Symbiote for less. But that would be far off.>>43145942So here's the thing. Filly proportions actually mean one of two options.>1. 12 inch body with filly sized head and body. Like the v2 filly proportions>2. A smaller plushie. Pic related. It's what they sent me for comparison. Their filly Luna is actually 12 inches like the rest of the Symbiote plushies. We could get a smaller filly, or we could just go with a 12 inch filly. It may make more sense to go with the 12 inch filly and just let her mog the other plushies. But what are some other good arguments for or against smaller plushie?>>43146155Just have to reach out to Symbiote. >>43146668>Anon plushie with his little suit and tieDon't tempt me.
>>43147311Forgot the retarded trip
>>43147311My argument for smaller is that it would mean I can hold more of them at once
>>43147311I like the filly Luna sized one
The only reason to go with smaller is if smaller also means cheaper
>>43146508No, legally distinct Hazardous Magician Tixie…like Twiggie
>>43147311They’ll make an offbrand Tixie?! Thought they wouldnt cause hasbro licensing for the actual Trixie they make.
>>43147311I want to pay more money for less pone, and I'm not afraid to say it. anonFILLY means SMALL.
>>43147514Here here!
>>43147311I personally don't care if I pay the same amount for a smaller plush, these plushes will be cheap anyways. A symbiote plush is typically $30 + ship, so <$20 for a filly is more than justified.
If we go with a smaller filly it would save maybe $0.2 per unit. Essentially nothing in the actual price. Most of the cost is in assembly, not materials. Shipping cost might be a little cheaper too, but I don't know.Anyway here's a poll. 8 inch vs 12 inch size. https://strawpoll.com/B2ZB9bMM7gJ
>>43147311>>43147959I personally find the smaller filly that Symbiote does to be really fucking adorable, so it would be nice to get a cute little faggot. Her being smaller means you can carry around more, too.
>>43147311Wtf why isn't Gollyta plush official??
>>43148019Anon I......
>>43148033>it's realShould've checked on the /merch/ more often I guess
>>43147311>We may be able to get a Littlepip plushie from Symbiote for lessI searched a bit and there is a huge difference between Makeship and Symbiote:>Makeship launches a crowdfunding campaign and processes money and everything by itself. You only need to pay for the design phase. Also Makeship will host the campaign in their store, which serves as free advertisement and makes it more legitimate for buyers.>Symbiote requires you to pay in advance for all produced plushies and for their storage. So you need to invest money without any guarantees and you will also need to handle all the accounting stuff. And they will not list your plushie anywhere in their store, so this might be confusing for buyers ("why do these guys advertise a Symbiote plushie if there is no such plushie in the Symbiote store?").So Symbiote is more suitable for buying plushies for a con, and Makeship is more suitable for a board project by literally whos where most of the risks and trust issues are mitigated by offshoring all business stuff to the third party company.
>>43135935floorb should also be considered too
>>43145578>more than just a con thingi truly hope so
If we do end up doing smol filly does that mean we can later get an anonmare with the normal adult pony proportions?
>>43149032But Anon, the last 5 runs were AnonMares.
bump
>>43147311>anon plush with his little suit and tie>Don't tempt medewit fagget i'd definitely fucking buy one
You faggots think you're real funny huh? I'll close the poll in a day probably.
>>43149772Yeah sorry that was me. You can just close the poll and go with the 8 incher.
>>43150114I got an 8 incher for you right here
so is this new filly gonna be shaped like a symbiote pony instead of an olyfactory pony?
>>43150509Yep, they use the same blueprint for the marefair plushes.
another anonfilly after the last mppp was v2's again just seems kinda retardedcan we please just do floorb or something... else?I love anonfilly too but fuck, change it up a little
>>43150603i think less anonfillies than floorb etc should be made but i still think a mass produced anonfilly/mare is the beating heart of the project from what little i've seen
>>43150603>>43150607why not both?
Wasn't like a third of both 1.0 and 2.0 anonfillies ever produced just given away? What are the odds of it happening again?
>>43150509Yes>>43150603The Anonfilly is to get things rebooted and test the waters. What I really want to do is Floorb. That's why, if this is successful Floorb is next.>>43150776Those were better economic times. Things were cheaper and Ameriburgers had those free stimmybux. But anything is possible. >>43147959Also vote in this because in a few hours I'll be writing back to Symbiote with a decision.
>>43152053REEEEEE GIVE ME MY SMALL FILLY
>>43147959Fillies should be SMOL It adds to their adorability factor
>>43152053I want a small filly so she's the right size compared to my mare plushes
>>43152053Fuck Anonfilly. We have enough fillies. I want Anonmare!
>literal NASA moon mission currently happening right now>yeah we'll just make more of the green faggot everyone already has
>>43152360>Space mission>Green faggotMakes sense to me
>>43152592I'd fucking love a boop plush man
>>43152678Honestly, anything but anonfilly unless actual filly size. Market is oversaturated with non filly anonfillies
Lil' babby size anonfilly, normal size anonmare mom
>>43152360I don't want any more anon fillies. How many rounds of her have we done now? Enough already. Make something else.
>>43153483NO! Brokie wants his Anonfilly and he wants her NOW!
>>43153483What about Anonfilly but with a funny hat?
We need Floorb or Nasapone again. There are enough of the green faggots circulating around.
>>43153539They're even circulating to Ebay of all places. The 100$+ price points they're being put at are so cringe
>Reckless>Floorb>another round of NASA>TracyShall be passing on faggots. I have enough.
>>43152053>if this is successful Floorb is next.Then you need a roadmap of sorts to show people. Luckily, I took the liberty of making you one
>these niggas really want a normal size mare instead of fun size
