I will be putting in the order for the Nyx and Athena Teacup plush very soon. So I will keep everyone updated on their production.
I was finally able to get some good photos of the weighted Nyx from the old manu. Her front claws look pretty close to the artwork finally. But I'm still not happy with how her front legs are positioned. Hoping that I will like what the new manu does body shape wise, or that they will be able to get closer to my vision.
The Teacup version of Athena is perfect. She exudes the feral goblin energy that is Athena the barn owl Terragryff. The new manu nailed her design almost perfectly on the first try.
The Teacup version of Nyx is way too adorable in person. I love the way her eyes look like they are glowing. Once we had gotten the body shape perfected with Athena, Nyx was easy for them to do. Check out her toe beans on her back feet. --- Comparison between the old and new Manus ---
Its like night and day between the two manus. The new manu certainly nailed my design and vision for the plush. The old manu did not.
I had told the old manu to make the plush larger as originally with the Eudora and Whimsy plush they made them the wrong size. When Nyx and Athena arrived, they were still the wrong size.

I heard from them last night and we should get photos within a week for the first prototype. Which will generally be body shape and then we can go from there.
--- General Life Update ---
I will be moving very soon. This is a sudden new development. But that shouldn't affect anything plush wise. As where I am moving to is already where I was planning on working on packing/shipping the plush orders from once they come in.
If you will be at either the Pickerington Wizard Faire (Aug 9th - Pickerington, OH) or at Akron Pride (Aug 23rd - Akron, OH), I will have all the Terragryff sample plush with me at my booths. So people can check them out in person!
I will also be at Matsuricon the last weekend of August at the TrotCon booth. I will very likely have the Terragryffs with me there too.
