Your Production, Your Way
You control the experience — from prototype to delivery
Three stages you control — from prototype validation to final design approval, no rigid packages.
Prototype & Sampling
Hold your character before committing to production. We ship a physical prototype made with your exact materials, stuffing density, and embroidery — zero production obligation.
Production Scale
Start small, scale fast. From 500-unit test runs for convention debuts to 50,000+ unit retail programs — we flex to match your growth trajectory.
Revision & Refinement
Two revision rounds included in every project. Changes go directly to your production engineer — no middlemen, no delays — from your message to the sample room in hours.

Creator Stories
Anime Creators Who Made It Real
From webcomic artists to VTuber agencies — creators who turned their characters into plush.
"I spent three years drawing my webcomic characters and always dreamed of holding them. LeelineToys took my character sheets and turned them into plush that looked exactly like they walked out of my panels. The gradient hair on my main character — a sunset ombre from pink to orange — came out better than I imagined. I sold out 1,000 units at my first convention in under four hours. My readers cried when they saw the plush. I cried too."
Rebecca Hartwell
Webcomic Creator, "Starlight Academy" — 2M+ Readers
"As a VTuber agency, our characters only exist digitally — until now. LeelineToys captured every detail of our talents' designs: the asymmetrical hair cuts, the signature outfits, even the tiny mascot companions that sit on their shoulders. The plush became our top-selling merch category instantly. Fans post unboxing videos that get more views than our streams. The team at LeelineToys understood that these aren't just toys — they're the first physical representation of our talents."
William Ashford
CEO, StarStream VTuber Agency

Common Questions
Your anime plush manufacturing questions, answered
Yes — we only manufacture plush for characters you own or have licensed rights to. For original characters (OCs), you are the IP owner. For existing anime characters, you must provide proof of licensing from the IP holder (studio, publisher, or licensing agency). We sign NDAs before reviewing any design and can assist with China IP registration for your original characters. We never reproduce copyrighted characters without authorization — this protects both you and us.
We match character sheets with precision across multiple dimensions: color (Pantone-matched fabric dyeing), proportions (digital pattern grading from your reference art), facial details (multi-layer embroidery up to 12 thread colors per eye), hair styling (layered fabric pieces with wire armature for poseability), and accessories (in-house fabrication of props, weapons, and outfits). For complex characters, we create a 3D render for your approval before cutting fabric. The transformation gallery above shows real examples of design-to-plush results at three complexity levels.
Our MOQ starts at 500 units per design — accessible for convention merch launches, webcomic creator stores, and VTuber debut campaigns. For clients wanting to test the market, we offer prototype-only orders (physical sample with your exact materials, no obligation to proceed to production). Prototype fee is credited toward your first production order. Volume discounts apply at 1,000+, 5,000+, and 10,000+ units.
Typical timeline: Design consultation and 3D concept renders (2-3 days), pattern making and physical prototype with up to 2 revision rounds (5-7 days), production (15-25 days depending on volume and complexity), final QC and packaging (3-5 days). Total: approximately 25-40 days from concept approval to shipment. Rush production is available for convention deadlines and launch events — contact us for current rush availability. Real-time progress updates with production floor photos throughout.
Yes — this is one of our anime plush specialties. We offer three interchangeable expression systems: (1) Magnetic face plates — embedded rare-earth magnets for seamless swapping, invisible from the outside; (2) Velcro patch expressions — cost-effective for larger runs; (3) Reversible face pieces — two expressions on one swappable panel. Each expression is embroidered as a separate piece and engineered to fit your plush design precisely. We quality-test every attachment mechanism for durability through 1,000+ swap cycles.
Every order includes full EN71 (European toy safety), ASTM F963 (U.S. toy safety), CPSIA (U.S. children's product safety), ISO 8124 (international toy safety), and ISO 9001 (quality management) compliance documentation at no extra charge. All testing is performed by independent SGS, TUV, or Intertek laboratories — we never self-certify. If your retail partners require additional standards (Disney ILS, Target RSL, Amazon CPTL, Walmart audit protocol), we include those in your testing scope from the start.
We provide multi-layer IP protection: (1) NDA signed before any design review — legally binding under Chinese and international law. (2) Design isolation — your patterns, samples, and production files are stored in segregated digital and physical systems. (3) Optional China IP registration — we handle CNIPA design patent filing under your name before production begins. (4) Secure production — for high-value IP, we offer physically separated workshop areas with badge-only access and zero-phone policy. (5) You own everything — all molds, patterns, files, and tooling belong to you permanently. Never resold, never shared.
Yes — we offer three fulfillment models: (1) Bulk shipment to you — FOB, CIF, or DDP to your warehouse or 3PL. (2) Dropshipping — we ship individual orders directly to your customers with your branded packaging and packing slip (no factory branding visible). (3) Amazon FBA prep — we label, poly-bag, and ship directly to Amazon fulfillment centers with full FBA compliance. Split shipping to multiple destinations is available for multi-market launches (e.g., US + EU + Japan from a single production run).
