This is such a heartwarming story! Quick synopsis: 9-year old Derek Silva, a big fan of Gorilla Tag, accidentally left his limited edition Makeship Gorilla Tag Plushie at a hotel while on vacation in California, and both he and his mom were desperate for the return of the beloved stuffed animal. After the hotel refused to mail the Plushie back to them, his mom decided to reach out on Facebook to see if anyone who lived near them was in California at the time, and would be able to pick up the Plushie-- Josie Ortega stepped in. She was actually in Nevada at the time and drove all the way to the hotel to pick up the Plushie for Derek and bring it back to Texas, where Derek lives. She even went so far as to document Gtag's journey back to his owner! Such an incredible and thoughtful gesture from a complete stranger. https://lnkd.in/eRiPBpMg

We're excited to announce that Petitions have made their formal debut on our website, where you can find a dedicated space to browse all Petitions currently live! Petitions are a way for creators to gauge fan interest early on, and in so doing support their product idea before a campaign is officially launched on Makeship. Essentially, they are ensuring their product will be fully funded and thus produced for fans, by using the Petition format. Read more about how Petitions work below!

Today we're talking about some of the biggest brands we've worked with! We work with a ton of individual content creators who span the gamut from arts & animation to pets to streamers, however, we also work with game developers and beyond 💫🎮 Even more recently, our partnership with Another Axiom for the Gorilla Tag Monke Plushie was wildly successful, becoming our top-selling Plushie OF ALL TIME 🙊

We're answering FAQ about the Makeship process, let us know if you have any questions about working with Makeship✨✨✨ First, we're tackling how long it takes to make a Plushie with us from start to finish. We work with content creators to design a custom Plushie based on their original characters or ideas, and from conception to finished product, this process can take (many) months!
