Please enjoy this statue of the St. George England needs and deserves. He truly slayed that dragon.

Large painted vintage statue of St George with his foot up on a defeated dragon. He's wearing a pale pink tunic with plate and scale armour, with his helmet visor up to show off his long flowing dark hair and frankly sickening winged liner, block blue eyeshadow and extreme goth eyebrows. He looks a bit like Bowie as Jareth, but more femme, he's really slaying.

Also worth mentioning - a lot of Supernatural characters will still be just £40 as they're less detailed to make (Sam, Dean, Cas would be £50 as he's got an extra coat layer) See thread for more details!

A big pile of handmade plushies of Supernatural characters, custom 13cm plush prices start from £40 plus postage (around £5 UK, £20 US) if sold via Goods and Services or Kofi there'll be a small addition to cover fees.

020

Die Booth @diebooth.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

I am also open to taking private orders for custom plushies or Blackbeard pearls, but I'd have to take payment in advance to pay for materials (and because I've had people not pay for completed plushies) but feel free to hit me up for quotes! (Guideline prices in ALT text) #bsnm #ofmd #dollsky

Plushie dolls of OFMD characters Fang, Izzy, Ed and Stede

Plushie prices start at £40 but go up according to complexity, for example here I'd charge £70 for Fang, £60 for Izzy or Ed, £50 for Stede. That's for payment via Paypal friends and family. It's a bit more expensive for via Kofi or Goods and Services, to cover the fees. Postage for a single plushie is £5 for UK, £20 for US, generally around £15-£17 for Europe. I am happy to refund any postage difference if it ends up cheaper when I post it. No obligation quotes provided if you enquire about commissioning one.

Plushie dolls of Bill, Ted, The Ghostfacers from Supernatural, Ketch and Rowena from Supernatural, The Corpse Bride characters and Wednesday Addams

Replica of Blackbeard's pearls from OFMD in freshwater pearls and sterling silver.

Price quote on request once I've sourced materials - likely to be £50-£70 for real pearls and sterling as seen here (given that materials costs have gone up lately) but I'd also be open to maybe doing glass pearls and silver plated/steel, which would be less.

Infographic showing the front cover of Spirit Houses with wording "This is the time of the evening when the Things come. As the trees close ranks and colours all merge into one colour, the Things start to stir – to dislocate their joints and stretch their limbs; rearranging themselves into new images for the twilight, they taste the air with prehensile tongues. That’s what Manda’s father used to tell her. He knew how little Manda loved to hear of the paranaturals. She got that fascination from her mother, he’d say back then. After, he’d say she got that fascination from her mother, but he’d say it differently…

When Manda’s lab partner Daniel Forbes goes missing presumed dead it’s just another normal day at University Hospital. But the circumstances of his disappearance aren’t quite as straightforward as they seem and take Manda and her colleagues at the Department of Paranatural Medicine on a journey across planes and to the fringes of death to find the truth."
