This is our third Budsies order
This is our third Budsies order. My daughter loves having her creations come to life. It's such a unique and wonderful concept. The quality is great and results are astonishing. We have been very happy with this service and will use it over and over again in the future.

I bought 2 Roblox characters for my 5…
I bought 2 Roblox characters for my 5 year old grandson he absolutely loves them. They are an exact replica of his Roblox characters. The craftsmanship is perfect and the detail is beautiful. They were expensive about $265 for 2 so im sure there will be alot of kids that can not afford them maybe try to get the prices lowered somehow.

Love my plush!!
He's absolutely adorable! I sent the team one of my characters for the process and he arrived on the 10th, love how he turned out! The plush is amazing to hug, just the right size and the material is so soft to the touch, I've had him in bed with me since he arrived !
Was kept very informed during the whole process and was updated when the production was on the next stage, very happy with the result :]

Family monster
I wouldn’t give it five stars, except that the arms were supposed to be yellow, not orange and my son was a little upset about it. Everything else was perfect the way that they brought it to life was amazing with all of the ridges in the legs and the body and the spikes down the tail, it was perfect.

You guys did a great job
You guys did a great job. My 11yr old son is absolutely thrilled. He designed a character for a comic strip he's drawing and you made it come to life 😁.

Hi Charlie!
Thank you for the kind review! Your son's Time Traveler Pig turned out incredible! He's so talented! We hope his new Budsie keeps bringing him lots of joy. 😊
Poor quality
The result wasn’t as close to my drawing as I’d hoped. The body of my creature is round, but they made her long like a fox. The eyes weren’t even sewed like higher quality plushies. They were just made of pieces of felt cut out. The strips of felt they used for the teeth weren’t even matching in shape. The plushie is white, yet they used visible red stitching where the tail meets the back that didn’t make sense. It just looked sloppy and poor quality.

Our team will be more than happy to help with your questions and find a solution for you! Could you please email support@budsies.com? Our team can help from there! 💙
Shop around before ordering!
Not overly impressed with the quality of the 2 i had them make. They asked me about upgrading to fake fure to make it softer i did for extra cost, it makes it look ratty and isn't softer at all. It took months and found the tags say China, so i guess thats why it takes so long and look the way it does.

Budsies brings visions to life!
Love my book character plush, Princess Daisy, from "The Father's Princess" and "The Princess and the Christmas Gift."
The process was simple, and the result lovely.
It was a special moment for me to hold my book character.

10000% recommend Budsies!
The experience was fantastic from beginning to end. I submitted a very intricate design that my teenage son drew, and the folks at Budsies came through! It was a long process, but absolutely worth the wait. My son is THRILLED with seeing his design in 3D.

Thanks for your kind words! Your son's Budsie of Robot Goober was so fun to make! The colors he chose and the details he added were great! We hope it's brought him lots of joy! 😊
Love it!
I was very nervous about how it would come out. It was perfect! It was just how my daughter drew it and had details in it that my daughter described. Thank you Budies for the great experience.
