The Toy Recreation Process

Toys can hold very emotional memories, for adults and children alike. When recreating replica of a lost toy, we take great care to build sympathetic replacements that capture the character of the original toy as well as the key features. We understand how important it is to get your missing toy replica as close as possible to the original. We try to involve customers at every stage in the process to get as much input from you as possible.

1. Request a Quote

First of all, send us an image or description of the toy in question. We will give you a quote for reproducing your lost toy, usually in the region of £315-£660, depending on the complexity of your toy.

2. Design Phase

Every soft toy repair is unique. You may want your teddy to look like new, or you may prefer it to keep its aged character. Discover more about the various levels of repair we offer, and decide which is right for your teddy restoration.

3. Fabric Sourcing

We source fabrics from across the world to find the most suitable for each missing toy. Some fabrics we can dye, age or distress. For printed toys, we can even create a custom printed fabric to match your original. Adding printed or embroidered text is also an option.

4. Matching Features

Let us know any details that are important to your toy, such as uneven eyes, worn areas or patches. We can either source features to match, embroider them or cast them in the workshop.

5. Making Phase

If you’re happy with the drawings and swatches, we invoice you for the remainder of the price. We make the toy and send it to you.

6. Final Edits

If you require any changes after seeing the toy, we can either make amendments to it, which are charged at £45 per hour, or make a second iteration of the toy, which would cost 75% of the original price.
