Hello all. I am someone who has just started making stuffed bears, bunnies etc. I love horror movies and have actually started making some of the 80s movie monsters in bear form. I started out with pinhead and freddy. Today i started a chucky, another set of bears who are in gimp suits and a burlesque bear. I know this isn't the usual area for this but i am seeking guidance on how to market the bears and where i can find clothes, because making the clothes is getting to be time consuming.
You should search on etsy for similar items. I've seen several such dolls and stuffed animals, including teddy bears on etsy. You could also do some research by searching on pinterest using different keywords and phrases. Deviantart would also be another venue you could search on. I've also found that there are many groups on Facebook that serve certain niche markets.
Would love to see what your making I do a lot of alternative arts too
If you are in the UK, maybe you could try having a stall at Whitby Gothic Weekend.
If you haven't heard of it before, there is one festival at the end of April and one at the end of October (October is the original and usually the busiest)
