Plushie dolls of OFMD characters Fang, Izzy, Ed and Stede Plushie prices start at £40 but go up according to complexity, for example here I'd charge £70 for Fang, £60 for Izzy or Ed, £50 for Stede. That's for payment via Paypal friends and family. It's a bit more expensive for via Kofi or Goods and Services, to cover the fees. Postage for a single plushie is £5 for UK, £20 for US, generally around £15-£17 for Europe. I am happy to refund any postage difference if it ends up cheaper when I post it.

Screen cap of email showing response to my complaint to the BBC about them referring to trans women as 'biological males who identify as women' they have not amended the article so they're obviously NOT REMOTELY interested in respectful or inclusive language. "Dear  Mr Booth  Thank you for getting in touch with us about the BBC News article “Women's Institute to stop offering trans women membership”. Please be assured that we listen carefully to feedback and hope that we can address your concerns. We understand that some readers found the reference to trans women as ‘biological males who identify as women’ to be inappropriate. While the language used was intended to explain the issue simply and clearly to our wide range of audience members, any unintentional offence is to be regretted and we are sorry if that has happened here. We believe that the description of Sex Matters is accurate, and that their standpoint is clear from the quotes included. We also included lengthy quotes from the chair of trans rights organisation TransActual. While the focus here was on the Women’s Institute’s policy announcement, we understand that there are complex arguments around definitions of sex and gender, which we have explored in previous reporting. Using inclusive and respectful language is important to us, and we value knowing when readers feel that we have missed the mark. Feedback is recorded and circulated widely to ensure that editorial teams are aware of the issues that matter to audience members, and we thank you for taking the time to provide yours. If you’d like to understand how your complaint is handled at the BBC, you might find it helpful to watch the short film on the BBC Complaints website about how the BBC responds to your feedback. It explains the BBC’s process for responding to complaints, what to do if you aren’t happy with your response and how we share the feedback we receive. Thank you again for writing in. Kind regards, BBC Complaints Team"
