I've been approached by a company called Gimme Swag about creating a plush toy. You can see samples of their products here.  I'm considering making one of Dave the Stray holding a bag of Jade Fade. But I first want to gauge interest with you lovely people, the inner circle. What do you think about plush toys? Your honest opinion is greatly appreciated.

Interesting idea. Looking at the co webpage, I bet they could do something that looks like a Metzger character. 👍🏻 Maybe this sounds awful, but I’d only buy a cat plushie 🙈

Brant

Love the idea of a plush Dave but would also like some of the other cats. Appreciate the stoner reference with the Jade Fade, but I’d be more likely to purchase without it. Seems like that might limit the audience a bit.

Sarah Glesmann

Ok I voted for Dave the Stray but also wanted to say I'd buy one of almost any character!! Love this idea. 🤩

Tilghman Lesher

It's not so much that I disagree with Dave the Stray as much as holding up a baggie of green isn't really anything I want to display

Scott Metzger

Thanks, this is helpful. If I do this (and it's a BIG "if" at this point), was also thinking about just Dave the Stray (no catnip) or Eddie (the gray cat who's had a lot of jobs).

Melissa

I'm sure a plushie Dave would be awesome, but we're about maxed out with stuffed animals over here.

Jeanette Leone

I went to their website and didn't see one I'd want.

Lisa Krolasik

I like their style and I’m sure they would do a good job! I’m torn between wanting to support and the fact that I’m trying to declutter. I would buy a small one to go on the shelf with my other little stuffed cats if it fit.

Wendy S. Katz

Cute idea but I have too much stuff. And it probably would come to an untimely end in the jaws of my puppy.

Bobbie Gardner

I agree that they're charming, but no stuffed animals last any length of time in my house because of dogs. For swag, I like the idea of showcasing one of your characters, but I think I would opt for something more useful and reasonably priced for you. That's some expensive swag to give away at roughly $35 a pop!

Nancy DeStadio

So happy to see my best buddy Dave in the lead. Early days, but still…

Susan M

Since I’m at the downsizing point in my life I would get them for others. I do buy your t-shirts—I just ordered your grammatical “Tombstone” shirt to celebrate National Grammar Day on March 4th.

Ilze Balodis

A plush toy of one of the tabby cats would be nice, but only if the expression(s) you create in 2D can be captured in the plush toy.

Laurie Stoker

I love plush toys, but I have too many. I would definitely buy one to give as a gift, though!!!

Wendy Adamek

What I really would love is a one-a-day calendar.

Paul Saunders

I'd definitely buy the Dave the Stray with or without the Jade Fade, preferably with.

Scott Metzger

I would love that too. I need to get a publisher for that and it's been a challenge.

Gabriele Presby

I am with so many in that I feel the need to declutter, but Dave would be bought! My hero!

Tbonecat

I am a Patron member and my cat Mahalo was on a T shirt - really loved it. So yeah - I want a Dave the Stray plush cat. After all when it came to decluttering subscriptions I chose you over NYT.

Heather Rayle

Cute idea but as other said my German Shepherds would destroy it…

Leslie Bragg

I love Dave the Stray. I have a big picture of him in my kitchen. He is totally relatable and his attitude should be copied by many people today who take themselves waaaay to seri

Leslie Bragg

Seriously. I’d br one of the first to buy my own Dave the Stray.

Catmomof4

I would love to have a Dave the Stray kitty

Scott Metzger

Thanks, good to know. I'm looking into seeing what this company can produce. The quality has to be good. Stay tuned :)
