Just restocked a few leggy lads (sharovipteryx) (just been freshly legged), also a small sack of gorgonops...

Two plushies resembling a green lizard with very long back legs with gliding membranes. One is still turned inside out with its silly legs sticking up through the hole in its back. The other is nearly finished minus stuffing.

Holding up a plastic bag full of blue and cream gorgonops plushies.

No idea how many of you this is relevant to lol, but... meet me at the Edinburgh museum thylacine in approximately an hour and I will give you a joey.

I have been somewhat frivolous in the Dinocon vendor hall! So, anyone fancy a custom plush? I'm in the mood for one or two! Only looking to do animals I sell in my shop, any colours as long as I have them (no prints this time, but I can do a non-printed gorgonops for example).

Good morning DinoCon! I'm carrying around a few thylacine joeys today. If you are lucky I may bestow upon you a baby. Like a stork!

A bundle of naked pink thylacine joey plushies in pink drawstring bags hanging from my finger. The bags have paper tags which are also shaped like curled joeys. I also have a beaded bracelet with a thylacine charm.

Shiny new microraptor! It's been a while since I've had a fun, experimental personal project like this. He's got sharp little claws and realistically foldable wings. (I'll be carrying him around at #DinoConUK, not a vendor this year but I can't resist making a new creature to bring along anyway...)

A sparkling plush microraptor with its wings spread. Its plumage is midnight blue with silver glitter, apart from the white chest and two long white tail feathers. The face and feet are bright blue, and the eyes are silver. It has shiny black plastic claws.

The plush microraptor perches on the arm of a garden chair, balanced on its two feet with its wings folded at its sides. The secondary feathers overlap the primary feathers.

The plush microraptor leans forwards, still perched and balanced on the arm of the chair.

Some salt & pepper thylacines, and some rainbow dimetrodon are currently in stock! www.thylacinestoyshop.com (Also, I'd be thankful if folks could choose PayPal at checkout this time! I get to withdraw instantly from PayPal rather than waiting a few days, and I do kinda need it just now haha...)

Four little dimetrodon plushies with sky blue bodies with a white cloudy patch on their backs and rainbow back sails.

A heap of little thylacine plushies. Some are black with red, green and white stripes and spots, some are light pink with reddish stripes and red eyes, and some are a patchy mix of both.

Its snout, hands and birdlike feet are pale blue, and it has a purple mask marking over its eyes. It's sitting upright with its long feet sticking out in front.

For Easter I made a hot cross numbat! I think it would eat raisins like ants.

A fluffy plush hot-cross-bun-like critter on a plate. It's round, legless, and has a bushy squirrely tail, a pointy face and big beady eyes. Its fur is ginger and beige with a few pom pom raisins dotted about.

Thought I'd need to fetch a larger box for this cotylorhynchus, but apparently not! Squiiiiisssshh

A small headed but chunky bodied cotylorhynchus plushie beside a cardboard box that is slightly smaller than it.

The plushie is squished halfway in the box, its head and arms sticking out

Only the head is sticking out now, happily nestled among pink tissue paper

The box is closed and taped. You would never know.

I have made my cotylorhynchus plushies larger btw! Head still small though. www.thylacinestoyshop.com/store/p/coty...

A small plush cotylorhynchus being firmly grasped in a hand. It's a vaguely lizardy animal with a big rotund body, four big plappy feet, and a very small head with a pleasant little smile. This one's a kind of purplish browny beige colour.

A plush cotylorhynchus about twice the size of the previous, also being grasped in a hand but less snugly. It's a brighter purplish colour, with more defined scales and wrinkles.

Got some cute little wooden pin badges of Cereal the thylacine in my shop! (plus a couple of the actual beanies!) If you enjoy the card tags I tie onto all my plushies, here is a more resilient version of them that you can put on your clothes.

A small, cream coloured thylacine plushie wearing a wooden badge of himself pinned onto a rainbow checked bandana.

A wooden pin badge held in my fingers. It's a cartoony sitting thylacine, with thick brown outlines and stripes and a pink nose and ears, printed onto pale wood that shows through as the fur colour.

It's been a while, oops! I'm alive. Salt and Pepper thylacines have restocked, but I also mixed up some some Salt AND Pepper thylacines! These hybrid thylas will aways have a unique spot pattern. www.thylacinestoyshop.com/store/p/salt...

A mixed-up heap of beanie thylacine plushies. Some have colours based on pink rock salt, some like rainbow peppercorns, and some have blotches of both, but it's a little hard to tell!

A row of 5 thylacine beanies. A pink salt is on the left, and a black, cream, red and green pepper is on the right. The middle three are mixtures of both, with unique patches of pink and dark colouring.

The three hybrid thylacines posed playfully, showing off their different patterns and spotty noses.

Finally assembled this Eugy cardboard thylacine model last night. (spot the cute surprise hidden inside it in the first pic hehe)

Two plush thylacines 'helping' to build a small model made from stacked layers of cardboard. One is holding a glue tube in its mouth and applying it to the next layer. Inside the model is a pouch with a sleeping joey that will be hidden when complete.

The finished chibi cardboard thylacine has its jaws opened wide towards the two plushies. They look nervous.

The cardboard thylacine faces off against a cardboard Tasmanian devil. Both are cute chibi proportioned, and have wide open toothy mouths. The devil has a cartoony meat drumstick under its paw.

The thylacine has the devil's meat chunk in its mouth. The devil, though its expression is unchanged, looks distraught.

Here's a kinda yucky little thylacine joey! Really had fun making it look shiny and meaty. Little raw meat creature. Forbidden jelly baby. They're designed to fill little gaps when I get fabric printed, so they'll be made alongside future thylacine beanies. Bringing the first few to Dinocon!

A small plushie of a very foetal-looking thylacine joey curled up in my palm. Its fabric is printed to look like shiny pink furless skin, with puffy eyelids that haven't opened yet. It's a bit ugly, but has a sweet smiling face and looks peaceful.

The joey being lightly grisped around its middle and pointed towards the viewer, showing shiny paw pads on its stubby little limbs.

The joey lying on its side on a thylacine patterned blanket, showing a faintly striped back and a subtle vein on the side of its tummy.

The other day I brought my entire thylacine plushie collection out onto the lawn. Many thylacine!!! There's 62 in this group, though one tiny joey is not visible as she's hidden in a pouch. Not present is an oven mitt, which I choose to count as a 63rd plushie, but I forgot to bring it outside...

61 plush thylacines of many different shapes, sizes, colours and fabrics are arranged in a big group on a lawn. Some are wear collars, beads or bandanas.

Been a wee while, but there's some new and restocked plushies in my shop: new Sharovipteryx and Cotylorhynchus beanies, a few pastel raptor chicks, and some Gorgonops! www.thylacinestoyshop.com

Two plush sharovipteryx, lizard shaped reptiles with very long hind legs that they use as wings to glide. One is sprawled flat with leg-wings outstretched to either side, the other sits up with its legs awkwardly folded underneath. They're made from soft printed fabric with a green scaly design.

A plush cotylorhynchus being grisped in a hand. It's got a large round body, four big feet with chunky claws, and a very small head with a cheery smile and beady little eyes. It's printed with a soft brown and cream design.
