What, you may ask, is a Loonakit? A Loonakit is a round fuzzy thing, similar to a tribble, but with eyes, ears, and a poofy tail. They're cute, they're psychotic, they want you to take them home so they can be cuddled and coddled and so that eventually, when there are enough of them, they can rise up and take over the world, ah ha ha ha ha! Ah ha ha ha ha!!! AH HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!! *ahem*

If you want to get a Loonakit, you can chose from several different price ranges:

1. Random psychotic Loonakit - $20

Random Loonakits are just that, random. You could get any color of fur, any sort of eyes, any shape of tail, anything! Even multiple eyes, or ears, or tails, or other odd features. Chaos in fuzzy form. Order one and see what you get!

2. Custom crazy Loonakit - $25

A custom crazy loonakit is a normal Loonakit (well, as normal as Loonakits get,) but you get to chose the fur colors, the color of eyes used and any other basic feature that doesn't require me to invent new pattern pieces or buy special supplies. These are made exactly the way you want them made, down to the last detail, but don't include any add-on extras.(The snow leopard and tiger Loonakits in the gallery were custom orders, and are good examples of the kind of thing I can do at this level.) There is an additional charge of $5 if you want glass eyes instead of plastic for these Loonakits.

3. Deluxe neurotic Loonakit - $30 to $50

For the deluxe neurotic Loonakit, anything goes. Your choice of colors, your choice of eyes, plus you can add different ears, or horns, or wings, paws or muzzles, or markings, or pretty much anything else you'd care to name. Price will vary depending on features chosen, but will be no more than $50 at the most. (To get an idea of the kind of thing this price gets you, check out the Cthulakit in the gallery!)

4. Poor orphaned Loonakit - varies

Shipping is FREE on all loonakit orders. (Hey, they're light, why not?) Loonakits are usually shipped by priority post, but international Loonakits go by first class mail.

I accept paypal, check, or money order. To order your Loonakit, simply e-mail me with the type and number of Loonakits desired. If you have any questions about available colors, eye types, or anything else, feel free to ask! There's also a FAQ at the bottom of this page with useful Loonakit information.

Loonakit FAQ

Q. Why?
A. Because!

Q. How big are the Loonakits?
A. They're approximately 12 inches long, counting the tail, and nine inches across, counting the ears. The bodies are about six inches across. (That's the standard ones, some of the custom ones vary from that.)

Q. How long does it take to get one made?
A. Well, it takes me a bit over an hour to sew one, but of course ordering one takes longer than that, as I have to schedule them in around all my other projects. It takes between one to three weeks, from the time I get your payment to the time you get your Loonakit. (International customers may take up to a month.)

Q. Can you list all the fabrics that are in stock for the custom Loonakits?
A. I really can't. I have somewhere around 100 different kinds of fabric here, but what's in stock changes on a weekly or even daily basis, and it's just impossible to keep a webpage accurate like that, given there's just me here and I have to do the sewing too.

Q. Well how do I know what colors I can pick from then?
A. Have a look through my fursuit gallery to see various things I probably have leftovers from, if you want a place to start. Or just ask me! With the afore-mentioned 100 different kinds of fabric, odds are I've got something that's at least close to what you want. And if there's a color you just MUST have that I don't have on hand, it may be possible to order it in for you.

Q. Can I get X special feature on a random Loonakit at the cheaper price?
A. The short answer: No. The long answer: The random Loonakits are priced that cheaply because I can use up fabrics I otherwise wouldn't get rid of, and because I can make them in large batches without having to worry about which colors get matched with what. Economically speaking it costs me more in time, effort, and often supplies to do custom things to your specifications, and thus I have to charge more. So no.

Q. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
A. Well... maybe. If what you want is something I can do fairly easily, I might be willing to cut you a deal. Ask me, and I'll let you know. But most special add-ons are going to cost at least a buck or two extra.

Q. Can I get one made to look like X type of animal?/Can I get one that looks like my fursona?
A. Sure! How much that will cost is going to vary a bit, depending on what kind of animal you're after. If it's something I can do without significantly altering the basic Loonakit pattern, it would fall under the "custom crazy Loonakit" price, but if it has lots of markings, or you want a muzzle with a nose and mouth, or anything that's going to mean pattern making, then it'll have to be under the "deluxe neurotic Loonakit" price.

Q. Do you have bulk discounts if I buy a lot of these?
A. Short answer: No. Long answer: Places that give bulk discounts do so because they have assembly lines and other means of mass production that allow them to make enough volume to make money even if their per-item profit is mere pennies. It's just me here, and if you order one Loonakit, I spend at least an hour on it, and if you order fifty, it's going to be fifty hours of me sewing the things. So trying to make money in bulk just means I'd work myself to death.

Q. Why are Loonakits so expensive? I can get a plush this size cheaper elsewhere.
A. They're expensive because of the laws of economics that say hand-made costs more than mass-produced. And because unique, one-of-a-kind, quality items are worth it. For more about pricing of Loonakits and other things, you can have a look at my mini-essay on pricing.
