3 days is believable. It takes me about 8-14 hours per plush and I average 3-4 hours a night. It can take a long time with all the tiny details.

With the aid of machines that is believable.
My own take me around a fortnight but that's mostly due to making the entire thing by hand (satin stitching takes HOURS).
That and I do work full time :p

Makes sense. :) But I'd like to point out I never said they weren't worth that; I only said I wasn't willing to pay it. Personal choice, that's all.

Can I ask why it's better to pay some overseas factory worker a few pennies a day for their assembly line work, but it's not better to pay your neighbor a living wage from their artistry so they can support themselves?  I really am trying to work out why people always choose the "cheaper" option.  :(  It really makes me struggle when I think about starting a craft business. 

Not personally attacking anyone, but why do so many North Americans think that "made in china" is the logical option?

Because it's cheap lol.

Most of us sew with our hands and not machines so it does take quite awhile to complete. Princess Luna has alot going on with her. The price is very reasonable. She has quite a bit that needs sewing together or embroidered.

I'm waiting on the 4th dimension plushies, they seem really nice. :)

But for the characters outside the mainstream I think several hundred is the standard.

I've got a twilight on order. Sadly they are a bit on the small side.

I'm waiting for fluttershy.  As soon as she is release I want to throw my money at them as quickly as possible, lol.  I've been waiting for a cute show accurate fluttershy for a long time. :)

I hope if they are successful that they will branch out and make the more popular characters.
