This is where my mind went too, but I am not familiar with the workings of pokemon plushes and maybe OP is talking about mass produced plushes that are cheaply made and really shouldn't be worth that much, but are sold for that much because of high demand.

It makes me sad though because I have artist friends who make really nice custom plushes and this is typically the kind of response they get. People really need to learn the difference between mass produced- where most materials are being bought wholesale and an individual artist doing one plush for you. That artist has to spend a lot of money on supplies and that's not even taking into account all the man hours it takes to do something custom and hand made (if it is their first custom for a character that also means they have no pattern for it yet.)

Yeah, looking at the picture, it seems to be a factory-made type plush, so quite possibly my objection is invalid in this instance.

I'm still amazed how often I run across these types of objections to actual custom stuff though, so. I have a good friend who makes amazing stuff, and she pretty much only sells to people she knows anymore because she can't deal with the deluge of morons who expect her to practically give it away. Or even better, hand over her patterns for free! Patterns that she spent ages drafting and figuring out and perfecting all by herself. Some people.
