During the summer of 2017 I was nominated by the toy making company Budsies to have my cartoon character Bernie made into a bulk order of plushies. Originally I sent in my design to have them make a single Bernie for myself, however, they reached out to me before launching their Market contest because they felt that my design had a fair chance at succeeding. I was given two weeks to reach a goal of 100 pre-orders before they followed through with designing my character Bernie by the masses. I was rewarded 10% of sales for each Bernie plush sold. I sold about 112 plushies. Thank you to everyone who supported me!
