Great monsters are not born.  They are made…at the Monster Factory.  A collaboration between three friends, this Toronto-based design firm is in “the business of character development, illustration and most notably the creation of plush monsters.”  Sounds a little high falutin’, but these guys really are great.  Check out their numerous monster lines and see the Guster video below featuring their plush crew.  (If your browser doesn’t support YouTube videos, click here.)
