How wonderful! I am so glad we can help bring your son's friends to life as Budsies! We all know what comfort our own characters can bring us, so we are glad to create physical plushies for him to have.

I've gotten multiple Budsies and they are all excellent. My daughter draws all the time and we get her drawings made. True lovely keepsakes. Will be back for more soon.

Very well responsive and very friendly staff as well! They do such an amazing job on the orders I've placed in the past. They typically message me on the next step they're on with my order and they alert me when it's completed.

The plushie exceeded my expectations and my 19 year old Grandson LOVED it. The communication with the company was terrific!!! My questions were always answered in a timely matter, and I always knew what stage my plushie was in. I always recommend them to people.

My 7 year-old designed her own plushie, and it turned out great. She was slightly disappointed about the lack of variety in the color of fabric available (her creature was a bluish-purple, but she had to decide between blue OR purple), but once she had her creature in her hands, she was thrilled. The designer(s) sent us multiple emails throughout the process to verify that they understand every element of the design. You do need to stay on top of your email throughout the process, or your plushie will be delayed until you respond to their questions. The end product that we received was very well-made and looked exactly like my daughter’s drawing. Definitely recommend!

Hi Shannon, We love helping kids and artists all over bring their very own designs to life, so I'm so glad we got to do that for your daughter. I'm sorry about the fabric options; there are times when turning a 2D drawing into a 3D plushie can offer challenges, so when there are mixed colors or gradients in color on the drawing, we can't always replicate that onto a plush. I appreciate your understanding! Thank you so much for your feedback of the entire process from initial design to the time you received the plush. I am so glad your daughter is happy with the final Budsie!

If you're thinking about ordering something from Budsies, look no further than this review! I ordered a specialized commission budsie around December, and received it around April/June -- and man I absolutely LOVE how it came out!! The person I was working with was very kind and helpful, and gave me good consistent updates on the progress of my Budsie! Now, for the pros n cons for you all who are thinking about ordering. PROS: - Very high quality material, it feels very soft and is a perfect mix between heavy and soft stuffing, even the embroidery is really nice! - FAQ and staff are very good about answering questions you may have regarding your order, and really quick as well - Budsie itself is actually really well sized, especially if you super size it - The recreations are more often that not EXTREMELY accurate, or as accurate as they can be, and I love that!! CONS: - Some looser stitching may come undone after a couple months of owning it, I had that problem with mine - Limited color palletes - The price, though it's handmade so I can't blame them 🥲 Of course the results of YOUR Budsie will depend on not only the nature of your character, but also which of the team members you're working with. Overall the Budsies team is full of really talented individuals and teams, and I would 1000% recommend them as #1 for anyone wanting a custom plushie of their creations!

Wow - thank you for such a thorough and honest review! I am so glad you love your plush, and our team is grateful for your feedback on the full ordering experience. Our support team is always here if you have any issues with your order, like the stitching. We do have a 'plushie hospital', and we can usually fix them right tup! Thank you again for the review! -The Budsies Team

My kid asked for a custom plushie. My kid can draw. They drew the plushie they wanted. Budsies made it a reality. Kid's favorite plushie now. Happy kid. Happy life.
