GUAILA TOYS

There is no fixed fabric list for animal plush, because the right choice depends on the animal and the size. Pile length changes how the finished piece reads: a longer pile sits closer to fur but softens markings and facial detail, while a short pile keeps markings, eyes and muzzle lines sharp. Colour comes from the same decision — the fabric is matched against your reference photos or artwork, and the match is confirmed on the prototype, where you can see it, rather than from a swatch name on a quote sheet.

Zoos and museum retail shops order plush versions of specific animals — the species visitors come to see, in sizes that suit a gift-shop shelf. For them the realistic route is usually the point: the animal has to be recognisable as that species, not a generic bear or cat.

Our product catalog has an Animal Plush Figures section with 10 in-stock animal styles. They are ready-made designs, and they double as a reference for range: the animal types, sizes and constructions we already produce. The catalog page lists each style with photos and details, and stock styles can carry your logo and packaging. If a stock style is close to what you want but not exact, tell us what would have to change — changes to the animal itself normally mean a custom design, which starts with evaluation and sampling as described above.

Sampling follows the same terms as every custom design we make. The fee is assessed from your reference (starting from ¥500) and covers pattern making, up to 3 revision rounds, and 1 final prototype; sampling takes 10–15 working days, and overseas sample freight is prepaid by the buyer. When a single design reaches a 500-piece bulk order, the sampling fee is credited against that order. Export orders start at 500 pieces per design, with 300 possible for simpler designs (the full breakdown is in our MOQ & Sampling Guide). Bulk production takes about 30–60 days; orders of 50,000 pieces and up run 45–60 days. Export payment is 50% deposit and 50% before shipment, EXW and tax excluded; freight is the buyer's, and we can introduce a freight forwarder we work with. The full process, step by step, is on our production process page.

Can you reproduce a real animal exactly? No sewn copy is exact, and we will not claim otherwise. Evaluation exists to settle this before you commit: which features will match — proportions, base colour, large markings — and which will change form, such as fine fur patterns becoming print or layered fabric. What bulk production copies is the prototype you approved, so the time to judge the likeness is at sampling, with the physical piece in hand. What do you need from me to start? For a realistic animal, clear photos are enough — several angles help, and tell us the target size. For a cartoon animal character, your artwork or character sheet. A tech pack is not required; the production pattern is built during sampling. Can I put my own branding on a catalog style? Yes — the in-stock animal styles in the catalog can carry your logo and packaging. Changing the animal itself (its colours, proportions or size) is a different job: that is a custom design, and it starts with evaluation and a sampling fee quote based on your reference.

Use the Product Information form on this page. It asks for a product name, a target size in cm, the quantity per design, your contact details, and a reference image: upload your animal photos or character artwork there, and add your destination country and target date in the requirements field if you have them. That gives us everything needed to run the evaluation and reply with the sampling fee for your animal.
