My granddaughter (at age 5) drew a really cool picture of a 'sassy girl'. I loved it so much I recreated in on a tee shirt for her and added "Art by Liz". However I never though to offer it to others as a service... I would just take their drawing and make it myself.

That was the very first thing I thought......just go to etsy. The parents of these children have too much money and too ltle sense. Exactly! That was the very first thing I thought……just go to etsy.

The ability to email an pre-existing picture would be great so you could suprise your child. I do not think FAO should be able to copy the design for the price though. $250 should include the copyright! I agreed.

I agree that parents should be able to mail or email kids drawings versus waiting for a kit, plus get the drawing back with the monster. Seems silly to do it any other way.

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 06:21:50 +0000 http://technabob.com/blog/?p=5387#comment-18491 I understand that most of that price comes from making 'a work of art' because the piece is original. But considering the child came up with the design, it's not original to the company at all. I think $60 would be enough. I could make those in under an hour (and I'm not master of sewing) and maybe another hour to pick the right fabrics to match the kid's design. Considering the sizes, you could get a lot of the fabrics from a sale bin at a Fabric Land. So 250$ for two hours' work and 10$ of fabric, is a little much (especially for a child who will LOVE it for a year, and forget about it for ten) But I'll sound like a broken record here and say I think it's a cute concept and when I have kids, I'm totally doing it for them (for much less of a cost ;) ) I understand that most of that price comes from making ‘a work of art’ because the piece is original.

That is HOURS of work. You put time in designing how the damn thing will work so the child isn't disappointed. Then time shopping for the right fabrics. Then the build itself! Maybe $250 is too much but you are nuts if you think $60 is enough. You people are nuts. That is HOURS of work. You put time in designing how the damn thing will work so the child isn’t disappointed.

Kids would love it and I love the idea of fostering their imagination instead of letting them buy a generic teddy of the shelf at wal-mart. But I could do these easily with less than forty bucks....hell I could make some with scraps around the house and a few odds and ends for like ten bucks. I've always wanted to start doing it though, maybe I should post ads and make kids monster dreams into stuffies for a living! :) enjoy the holidays. I agree that the idea is really great.

This is cool for those who can afford it. Maybe those that can could gather drawings from a children's ward and really brighten the day for some sick kids. Is it required to complain about the price?

I agree with the others who say you could do it yourself for a lot less. And if you can't I'm sure there are a LOT of people in your area who can do it, and would be happy to do it, for even a quarter of the cost. Most I'd pay FAO Schwarz would be $75, including shipping. And the only reason I'd go that high is because I know my kid would really get a kick out of it. Yeah it’s based on your kid’s drawing, but that price is still way too high.
