I've been trying to sell quilts for approx 4 years and have only sold 3 baby quilts and one full-size quilt. I've been sewing stuffed creations for approx 2 years, and have had dozens of people want to buy them, but I didn't have a price.
This is one cute critter! I would embroider the eyes for safety and go for it. There are several good suggestions here for where to market your animals. Pricing? I really don't know as this is not something I would be shopping for. However, if you try to place them in some specialty shops you might try asking the shop owners for an opinion.
One other thought - you said you hadn't been successful with selling baby quilts, etc. I wouldn't suggest it as a "package" deal, but what if you had that toy on display at whatever price you decide and ALSO had a toddler-size quilt, priced separately, that kind of matched it.
Let us know how and what you do.
