Take this Initial D fans from Hebei, China for example, she made this 3D AE86 plush toy keychain from scratch for her boyfriend who is also an avid Initial D fans. According to her, she has made several 2D (flat) AE86 keychain like the one that Natsuki made for Takumi. Eventually, she did her own research and came up with this 3D plush toy. This is completely made by hand, even the wording 藤原とうふ店 "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" are sewed on manually. The plush toy is only 5 cm (2 in.) in size, so it's very difficult and require a ton of patience to sew the words on the side. She said there are three places for improvement. First, if she ever does it again, she needs to sew the wording even smaller to fit the (自家用) "Private Vehicle" in there. Second, headlights needed to be added in the front of the plush toy. And third, a license plate with the correct numbers. Once she posted about this on the Initial D 百度贴吧 (Baidu Tieba) the responses are overwhelming. We reached out to her and asked her if she would sell something like that for 50 Chinese Yuan (~8 USD), she seems shocked by how much we were offering. To us, this is worth way more than 8 USD. Similar plush toy are for sale on eBay for around $20 USD. But they are not as cute and they are too big in size to use as keychain. (eBay: http://goo.gl/3f7mJq) Our question for you is, how much would you pay for a plush toy keychain like this? If the response is good here, she might consider taking orders. Personally, I would buy this for $10 in a heartbeat. (laugh) | Sources | » 今天终于把立体的小86缝好了 • 头文字d吧 • 百度贴吧 | http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2715984754 Image size reduced, original size: 800 x 882.
