Dear all,
I will go straight to the chase. I'm trying to start a business basing on selling custom plush toys, right now I'm trying to create a prototype from 2d sketch (which is done). At this point I have a couple of questions (and problems). This is all new to me so I hope I can learn from your experiences.
I'm located in Europe, budget for prototype 500-1500 USD.
Thank you.

- I'm trying to get a prototype done in China, but so far haven't found a reputable company that is willing to do it without purchasing at least 500 toys first. So my question is can you recommend and China company for prototyping such toy? I would like to see the prototype first before purchasing 500 units.
- Did you have to travel to China in order to make this work?
- What about copyrights? I mean at the beginning stages of talk I need to somehow show them my design but this is prior to signing any type of NDA. So can they clone the design and screw me over at this point already? (I'm not saying my design is super precious just it is better to be safe than sorry).
- Is it better to go with European company for the prototyping work?
Thank you.
