I Made a Maqet!
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
I Made a Maqet!
My associates at The Toy Book recently passed along a pretty cool website, and asked me to test it out.
At Maqet’s website, you get to pick from their selection of different cartoony characters, ranging from a perplexed-looking squid (there’s a phrase I never thought I’d use) to a fashion forward kitty-human. Then you get to choose your character’s color, pose, outfit, and more. Then the even cooler part happens.
Once you’ve designed your Maqet, you can order it and they will ship it to you in the form of an awesome little plush, in small or large.
