Impact
This little guy really captures the curious spirit of ferrets. His posture and face are just perfect. The overall effect is a cute and curious guy who looks ready to jump to life.
I especially like how his head is slightly turned, as though he were looking at something off in the distance and was just about to pounce off and investigate. His face and the position of his ears make him look interested and focused, an expression that any ferret lover would recognize.
Anatomy-wise, the tail looks a little off, almost like it's separate or an afterthought, and is somewhat too long. Also, the face is a little short and not quite the right shape, but looks okay because the whole plushie has softened lines and a more rounded look.
Overall, this is a very well made plushie. You don't see ferrets a lot, but this one is especially cute.

Thank you for the critique! I appreciate that you took the time to do so!
I agree with the face shape - it IS a little short and stubby for a ferret. The tail is a wee bit long (probably because it's a mink tail).
I'm still tweaking this pattern, but overall I'm pretty happy with it!

No problem, I couldn't resist... He's just so cute! ^_^ If I had any money, I'd totally buy a plushie like that.

Would it be possible to lay one's paw on one of these? What would that cost?

It depends on materials If you want one made from real fur (like this guy is), $50 for small size (around 5 inches tall, 6-7 inches long), and around $75 for a larger one (around 6-7 inches tall, 8-9 inches long).
If you were interested in fabric, a large polar fleece ferret starts at $20 and goes up depending on markings And slightly more for faux fur (add about $5 to total price of what polar fleece would be)

OK, got to think about that next time the pay check arrives (in about three weeks). If I, god forbid, should forget about you're welcome to remind me D'you approximately how much it would cost to send one overseas (I'm living in Sweden)?

Around $8. If it's less than that, I'd refund the difference

Thank you!! At least all the fur I use is vintage - mostly from coats and stoles.
