Lead times are pretty consistent for this one — sample runs about 5 to 8 days, then production takes 25 to 35 days depending on the quantty you order, and we usually have stock of the basic sitting pagurian design, but if you want custom colors or embroidery, that adds maybe a week or so to the schedule.

What it does is use a plush outer shell with polyester fiber filling, so it's soft and keeps its shape well, and the hand-made stitching on the claws and shell details is actually tighter than most machine-made ocean toys — we've had buyers say the 10-inch size is easier for small hands to grip than the 14-inch version, by the way.

3 to 8 years is the sweet spot age range for these, and the sitting style means they won't tip over during play, but I wouldn't recommend them for teething toddlers since the small eyes are stitched on and could be pulled loose with enough force — that's just the reality of any plush with decorative features.
CE, EN71, ASTM, and CPSIA certifications are all in place, and our company provide a COA with every batch so you don't have to guess about the lead and phthalate levels — we've had a few buyers use these for sensory therapy setups, which works because teh texture is consistent across units, give or take 2% variation in fiber density.

Customization is where we shine — you can change the shell color, add a logo patch, or adjust the sitting height, and the MOQ for OEM is typically 500 pieces for a new design, but if you're working form an existing pattern our company can do 300 or so, and packaing is per your request (usually a polybag with a hang tag, but we can do window boxes too).

Shipping goes by ocean or air, and our company offer door-to-door service, so you don't have to coordinate a freight forwarder separately — just keep in mind that air freight for a full carton of these can cost more than the toys themselves, so most buyers go with sea unless they're in a rush.
