We mentioned Rahball last year:

Here's her latest idea:
Hi guys! I've got a new project - to make soft toys of the O RLY
owl! Have a look here: http://rahball.furtopia.org/orly-owl/
I need 500 pre-orders before I consider going into mass production -
I'm not spending (borrowing) that much money without knowing I can
sell them. I've got all the pricing in US dollars, as I'm looking to
sell to an international market. If anyone here is interested, I'd
prefer to be paid in US dollars (as it's fairer that way), but we can
work out an exchange in Aussie dollars if anyone without Paypal really
wants to order one... Feel free to rubbish my design, that's the
best I could manage on my first attempt. ;)
Rahball.
From the website:
"If you're not familiar with this famous image, see what Wikipedia has
to say:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY_owl
My soft toy version is 25cm (10") tall (though I plan for future ones to
be 7-8"). He is made from lovely soft fake fur and his beak and mouth
are made from acrylic felt. He also has a joint in his neck which allows
it to turn through 360 degrees. In time and materials, he's worth about
US$80."
