rosequoll Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm really proud of this guy and just wanted to share. Don't have them yet, but they're in 'production' stage now. Few more months and I should have 300 of these guys waiting for me to get my butt out to zoo/sanctuary/aquarium gift shops to try to get him on the shelves. =) All design done by me, from initial sketches to final design and prototype approval. The actual manufacture is being done overseas. There are NO other lungfish toys available so I'm hoping they're well liked. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbeer Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Love it.... Are you doing a tag telling the story of the fish, protection etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosequoll Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 This run has no paper tag simply because of cost. I wanted to though, and Jean Joss offered to do a little blurb about them. I'm working on a website and I'm hoping that people will google the 'brand' in the fabric tag they're getting (TheFishingCat) and check out the website, where I will have info about them, links, etc. Hopefully Jean will be interested in writing something for the site. =) If they do well, the money I make will go towards a next run and I'll get printed/die cut card tags made for them. =) I couldn't care less about profit, I'm just SO bloody excited to get more lungfish stuff out there for people to see. I've sketched up plans for a mudskipper, handfish and a triops as well. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmo Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 My kids would love them. Just the other day my youngest said to me... "I need to get a fishy friend for Shamu because he's lonely". Well done. They look great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
