Hello, hello, everyone!!

I woke up in the middle of the night to the Discord server sending me a lot of excited and sweet messages and as I read them.. I realized that the last stretch goal was UNLOCKED! When launching this project, I was so nervous since I haven't done a plush crowdfunding project since 2020. It means SO much to me that you all believe in this project, show enthuiasm, and more! I am still processing this all, so I hope to calm down a bit so I can write a proper thank you update... HAHA! I am channeling all the jitteriness by updating the campaign story, Pledge descriptions etc etc! 

BUT!

Thank you all for being so patient about Tanuki! Here are PHOTOS!! As you can see, the factory has to do one last set of revisions (nose should be an oval, change the rings on the tail etc) but overall, the shape is PERFECT!! What do you think? Here is the natural color as well!!!

Orange is winning but I also love yellow.. so.. BOTH colors will be made! You can choose with one (or both) when you all get your survey. Here is a better image of the mockups, as well at the photos of the yellow plush again!

The manu updated the clown and now, it is perfect!! The clown nose is large and now, the tail is a softer fur and each tail will be "random" colors of soft pastel rainbows! Excuse the cruddy ph otos. I will ask the manu to retake them!

Any pledge with at least one Pocket Friend can select the clown plush design!

Having a hard time keeping all your Pocket Friends together? I have now added a reusable totebag to the add-ons! These totebags are waterproof, strong, and even fold into itself in the inner pocket!

Tote-bags are $15 each!

New hoods are in the works and will be revealed tomorrow! I am super excited about these designs! As a reminder, Patreon members will get access to an exclusive hood as well! I hope you all look forward to seeing the designs tomorrow!

Thank you all so much.. omg.. I am speechless and EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for your support and kind words on this project! As someone who suffers from severe anxiety and other disabilties, I have been taking the Pocket Friend prototypes with me to the doctor, new places etc in order to help comfort me and "stim" on them. They are so helpful for me so I hope they can be helpful for all of you too!
