Good news.. Okapi is FINALLY APPROVED! The arms are much better and match the back legs now! I am so happy with how it came out. I know that this process delayed this but I feel like it was all worth it in the end since you all deserve the very best from each design!
Look at their floppy legs, ahhh!
I will finally be putting in the big order for all of the Cuddle Friends plush toys this week! As I said before, I wanted to make sure that all the prototypes looked absolutely perfect before ordering.
Thank you all so much again for your patience! Plush making is always so much fun but no matter how many years I have done it, I always want to make sure that you all still get the very, very best!
The next update will have all the plush toys together, finally! Are you excited?
Survey Deadline
As a reminder, the surveys will close on July 31st! If you need more time, just send me an email! I understand that things happen! :)
If you are a Pay-Over-Time backer, don't worry! This deadline does not apply to you.
Hope you are all doing amazing this week! Okapi is NEARLY finished! The only revisions left are easy, and that is making the front legs look more like hooves like the back legs, yay! I didn't want to rush this prototype, which resulted in the delay, but I hope you all understand. I want to make sure each plush is 100% how I want it to be since you all deserve the very, very best! :)
We should be able to get all the plush into production mid July, yay! I am so excited to get the Okapi in hand since the limbs all flop and they are so so cute.
I got some photos of the Red Kitsune! Thank you for your patience with this one!
78% of you finished your surveys, yay! Thank you so much! This gives me a great idea of how much to order so I will be placing the bulk plush order as soon as the Okapi is 100% approved! We are SO close!!
âI am a Patreon who didn't have access to the Patreon only tier. Can I still get switched to the Patreon tier?
Please message me through Patreon so you can prove you are a current Patreon member. Be sure to include the email used to back this campaign in the message body. I will switch you to a Patreon version of your tier, where you can select the Patreon-exclusive design.
âI am a Pay Over Time Backer and I can't get access to my survey!
If you are a Pay Over Time backer and didn't receive your survey, don't worry! You will automatically receive your survey once the 4th installment is paid or paid in full early, whichever comes first. Surveys will be open for POT backers for an additional month, so do not worry about the July 31st deadline.
âWhat if I change my mind on a plush for designs that don't have finished protoypes (Okapi and Red Kitsune)?
You can easily change your selection through your survey if you do not like the final prototypes of those two. Don't worry! There will be plenty of for the final prototypes to be finished to make your final choices.
âI forgot to back during the campaign! Can I still support?
Yes! We will open the Preorder store via Backerkit next week.

Hi, all! The Fairy Moth prototype is DONE, yay!! I am so happy with it! I apologize for the crummy manufacturer photos but they still clearly show how beautiful the design looks! What do you think? The wings will look a bit "wider" from the top, don't worry!
Surveys are still in review but once Backerkit approves of them, I will have them all sent to you! Thank you all so much for your patience! I wanted to make sure the more complex designs had undivided time dedicated to them and not rush them.
This is a short and sweet update but a super, super sweet one, nonetheless!
