-Do you like/own plushies? If so, what age frame/gender are you? Yes! I'm 33 & female
- What animals do you prefer as plushies? Odd critters like armadillos, donkeys, buzzards 
- Did/do you give personalities/make stories for your plushies/toys? It depends, if they have a very stylized look then yes, if they are more realistic then no
- Do you play with them or just display them? mostly display, will use them as picture props sometimes and will sometimes snuggle & sleep with them
- Are you allergic to anything plushies have? nope!
- How important are your toys to you? Very! They are a reminder of a happy childhood that I did not really have; they are an escape and they make me feel good!
- Do you collect plushies? I don't have a huge collection,  but I do have some. It's hard to find cute plushies of some "not so cute" animals
- What size is perfect to you when it comes to plushies? either quite small (3-5 inches) or mid sized (around 10-12 inches)
- Did you ever wish your plushies could move/be poseable when you were a kid? Did/do you own any like this? I have a jointed bear & kitty. They are great and I wish I had more unusual animals that were jointed.
- Did/do you think of your plushies as characters in an imagined world? Sort of. In my mind and my writing, my dolls, ponies and other toys can move and act independently, but they are aware that they are toys and have to work together to get things done in the human world.

- Do you like/own plushies? If so, what age frame/gender are you?
Yes.  I'm woman in my 30s:p

- What animals do you prefer as plushies?
I have  my favorite animals including hedgehogs, bunnies, owls, and kiwis.  I also like dinosaurs, other woodland critters, and just animals in general.  If the plush is cute, I'll be interested:)

- Did/do you give personalities/make stories for your plushies/toys?
Not really.

- Do you play with them or just display them?
Mostly display.

- Are you allergic to anything plushies have?
Not that I'm aware of, except maybe dust.

- How important are your toys to you?
I'm a collector, so pretty important.

- Do you collect plushies?
Yes.  I have a collection of small Steiff plushes, and I'll pick up anything that I think is cute.

- What size is perfect to you when it comes to plushies?
Smaller is always better!  I have space issues, and anything over 5-6 inches will require a lot of thought into if I can even find a place for it.   I *strongly* prefer plushes in the 4 inch or less range, though  I do make some exceptions if it's particularly adorable or cool.  I have a few plushes that are under 2 inches, and I really like those.  I'll actually pay a premium price for smaller items if they're done well.

- Did you ever wish your plushies could move/be poseable when you were a kid? Did/do you own any like this?
Not really.  I had a few, but I generally like plushes that don't move.  The ones with jointed limbs usually looked less cute and were more expensive due to the work involved, so I never really wanted any.  I do have one mini plush(1.5 inches, maybe a little less) with jointed legs, and I think it's pretty amazing because it's so small and so detailed.  Bigger plushes with jointed legs don't do much for me though.

- Did/do you think of your plushies as characters in an imagined world?
As a child-yes.  Now-not so much.

- Do you like/own plushies? If so, what age frame/gender are you?
Yes! I own quite a few plushies. I'm a 16 year old female. 
- What animals do you prefer as plushies?
I love wolves dogs, cats, and bunnies most of all.
- Did/do you give personalities/make stories for your plushies/toys?
Not really! Some of them had likes and dislikes, but nothing in-depth.
- Do you play with them or just display them?
I've always just loved to display them and hold them.  They keep me company.
- Are you allergic to anything plushies have?
Nope!
- How important are your toys to you?
Very important! All of them have some degree of sentimental value. Although, my plastic toys do mean a little more to me than my plushies.
- Do you collect plushies?
Not really. I only still buy them once in a blue moon.
- What size is perfect to you when it comes to plushies?
Any size, really! Just not jumbo-sized. 
- Did you ever wish your plushies could move/be poseable when you were a kid? Did/do you own any like this?
Nope, I was always content with a completely still plushie. However, I did have a bunny with bendable ears and a border collie dog who rolled over and barked at the sound of clapping.
- Did/do you think of your plushies as characters in an imagined world?
Not really.

Good luck with your business!
