The best way to describe Bwoopy is that he's just a little guy! He wasn't designed for any specific purpose beyond just being a round soft buddy to keep everyone company. I hope everyone enjoys him as much as I do!

Although he was originally inspired by a similar character in another property, the natural evolution of his design as I continued to draw him over time turned him into his own unique entity. He's become my mascot, in many ways.

I'm Angie! You may know me as @A2Ziegler on Twitter and @Peregrxnans elsewhere. I'm a hobbyist illustrator who spends a lot of time drawing fanart for Overwatch esports. 

Tim (the CEO) and I met through the aforementioned Overwatch esports and ended up quickly befriending each other. While talking about mascot design and the general process of merchandising, we realized fairly quickly that we had very complementary skillsets: I was great at envisioning, designing, and driving the artistic side of a product line, while Tim knew a ton about product fulfillment and had access to lots of manufacturer contacts. Making some plushies together seemed like a great way for me to create something that I'd otherwise have no clue how to execute, while also giving Tim a way to use his hard-earned logistics knowledge to do something fun. 

The easiest way for us to do this was to use infrastructure that already existed, meaning we'd take advantage of Vite's facilities and servers to sell, pack, and ship all the plushies. That's all! There's no catches or hooks or extra charges that are secretly redirecting your money to some noodle conspiracy. I just happen to be friends with a guy who runs a ramen company, so we're selling through the ramen company's site. Simple as. 

This is definitely not the last project Tim and I will do together, so who knows what the future holds? In the meantime, you can always head over to Vite Ramen's Website, https://viteramen.com, to give their ramen a try.

Bwooper is 100% polyester, so just machine wash warm and tumble dry low. No special care required!  Try to keep him away from open flame, though.

Also, give him lots of hugs and kisses. The more you love on him, the softer he gets over time!
