Thanks Mathieu,

I'm glad you like the Snailien. He is the favorite of a lot of  
people. It's nice to get positive feedback as well.

This is a commercial process. I've been working full-time on the  
plush designs for the past 6 months... Including a trip to China in  
October. It is not inexpensive and it is not easy going -- But it  
feels great to have my characters becoming toys!

Yeah, for the puppet update, I'll probably make Scurvy's vest to  
match the plush. I haven't uploaded the pictures yet but the plush  
has a nice jolly roger on his back with his name arched across the top.

Thanks also for mentioning being freaked out by the no face. I assume  
that means I'm on the right track -- the character must very original  
indeed if people are so freaked out by it. After all, it's only a  
heart and a bunny. The two separate elements are very familiar  
symbols, very comforting. Put them together and I've got 3 comments  
so far on puptcrit: "freaked out", "uncomfortable", and "not keen on  
the concept"!

Thanks for commenting!

Michael
