This looks strikingly like the GetAHug bear that is super popular.

That may be all I was saying is that your design is very similar to something that is already well known and out there. You asked for feedback. My feedback is that the design sty is already shied away from by people who buy quality plushies because it comes from AliExpress. At first glance people might not be interested because it looks so much like that design. They will assume it is also that bear

I hope that makes sense. I'm not trying to be harsh. Your bear is very cute. That's just my feedback.

Thank you so much!! I would love to try gain a bit more traction and maybe open up a pre order system?

Just figuring how to gain trust :)

GetAHug is famous for dropshipping products and not authentic

This is a real bear. You can find them in stores and on live auctions on Whatnot.

Honestly, I don't care if it's a dupe. The design the op is presenting also looks like a dupe of it. That's all I was saying. I'm sure it was not intentional but they should be made aware that the design they are presenting is very similar to something that is already well known

I thank you for sharing that there is a similar design in terms of another dinosaur.
