Mega Monster Moop
Here is Mega Monster Moop made by Chelsea over at loveandasandwich.etsy.com. Here is his story:
Moomp monsters are the most delicate of all creatures in the monster kingdom. And I don’t mean physically. I mean, emotionally. The Moomp needs constant attention and nurturing from it’s owner in order to feel important. But beware of giving it too much praise, because the Moomp does the...

Buy some of the PlushYou SF customs
All of the work from the PlushYou SF show can be bought here. I think my favorite is the yellow guy above, “Poxmonster” by Tenisha Sprague. I also like the dude to the right, “Flash Mcenroe” by Ninon.

Custom Plushforms up for Adoption
The custom plushforms made for the Midwest Plushform Show on Nov 7 are up for auction on Shoparooni. Plushform is a blank DIY plush made by Shawnimals and this custom show called upon a bunch of artists to make their own and submit them into a contest. The winner’s creations are now up for sale for you to own. They range in price from around $50 - $100. I like the bearded man. (makes sense...
Mochimochi
Mochimochi Land is a place where knitted toys and people can live together in a spirit of tolerance. All of the knitted beings are made by Anna Hrachovec, a designer from New York, and she just participated in the Plush You SF show on Nov 7. Something that is a little different about her is that she does not sell the actual knitted toys, but the pattern that allows you to knit the design...

My Cryptonauts
My Cryptonauts hail from Hawaii with some nice handmade luchadores. They are kind of like faces with ears. They are all handmade. I really liked this wood piece seen below.
Sambo
Sambo is another Argentinian plush company. Also awesome. All of their characters has a spec sheet with their skill levels on them, helping you to decide which plush toy you need to better yourself. I am yet to find a toy with full evil…
they also make some nice bags
Doma!
Doma is from Argentina and they make some of coolest Design plush I have ever seen. There website is hard to navigate, being in a different language and everything, but their flickr has a bunch of good photos. I’d like to see more of their stuff around.
Anna Chambers
Anna Chambers is a more crafty plush artist that not only has a couple of manufactured lines but does a large quantity of original plush for special events or organizations. She recently came out with a new series of plush blocks called doolie boxes. This sad sea creature is one of my favorites.

This is how Circus Punks describes what they are - “It’s Americana! - From the1930’s Knock down doll MIDWAY days. The cat-rack collection is back and now available with crazy designs by ARTISTS from around the world.”
Monster Factory
These guys are based out of Toronto and they make a bunch of extremely well made monsters. They also make a wide variety of these little dudes, all with a couple lines of a story. For a promotional tact they have a weekly video staring a depressing pickle named Pickley. Its pretty funny. link
Dreamlets!
Based out of Seattle Washington these little dream creatures are looking pretty good. They look very well made and their simple designs are enduring. My favorite is BeeBee (pictured below). Also they are doing a “1% for creativity” thing which is nice as well. Basically they give 1% of their profits to a foundation or organization that does something to promote creativity. I dig...
