When I think about plushies, I think about Squishmellows or Beanie Babies. Their uniqueness and customization between the plushies is what drew me to them. Each one has their own personality and look. This is what lead me to my first prototype. It was Pikmin!
Here is my circuit diagram of my yellow light. My plushie would have two of these.
But, the Pikmins are a concept that exist already. I want to do something new and more in line with my personality. What about a dog? A dog that you can customize and accessorize!
The CoolDog Plushie would be meant for teens or people in their early 20s, who are seeking connection. He is anyone you want him to be, and can take on any hobbies or talents. This would give teens and adults ideas of what they could do for fun too! It would be made out of fleece, a soft inexpensive material with cotton accessories that you can attach by Velcro pieces.
Look forward to Part 2!
