Be warned you're paying at minimum an hourly rate for them to do it, plus materials, plus markup. So consider how long you think it would take someone to reverse engineer your toy into a pattern, then recreate that toy from the pattern. Especially if the plush is made out of a non-standard colour/material. As they'd need to buy in a sheet of that material.
So...
>a decent-high hourly rate for your city that covers a number of hours worked, this isn't like a 20 minute job.>fabric costs, maybe quite high depending on your toy/how close you want the match>their profit margin, as they won't work at cost.What you seem to have described is a passion project, which is easy to pay for as an individual doing it yourself, as you don't pay yourself for the hours spent doing it so it's not a cost, thus reducing it just to buying materials. When you start having to pay someone to do the work for you, that's when anything gets expensive.
