When Hunny K and I first came up with the idea of creating a Dinky Ninja Bear plush, we didn’t know where to begin. All we did know was that we wanted to make a friend that could go with us wherever we go – a creation birthed from the Heart, as well as an ode to all the toys/collectibles/art we’ve ever had and loved until now.

Neither of us knew where to begin, or even how to start. But sometimes not knowing what to expect is the best way to handle a situation. So we just pushed forward and started creating. And after many rough sketches, pricked fingers, and a room-full of Dinky Ninja Bear prototypes later; we came up with a simple, finished plush “look” that *yatta! won us over.

So where do we go from here? Well, we just spotted a few of our plush Bears trotting about in Europe. Some on the surf in California. And more frolicking around in Malaysia. And we can only hope that it grows from there. And if it just so happens that these little plushies bring a little Joy in to your Life (plushies have a way of doing that, don’t they?), then consider our job done. Its what keeps us so motivated and proud to do what we do.

We also decided it would be best to donate some of the proceeds we receive to specific Charities. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that $1.00 from each Dinky Ninja Bear type you adopt will go to the corresponding Organization listed below. Here is the breakdown of Organizations:
