Both Mother’s day and my birthday were last week, so we took a small break, but fulfillment is moving right along and we're gonna keep kickin' butt~ Thank you all for your continued patience and support!!
We finally received the plushies yesterday, so our team immediately began inspecting them and fulfilling pledges! We've already knocked out ~30 pledges, and we'll be sending more out as fast as we possibly can! I will be posting frequent updates on BackerKit, Discord, Bluesky, and Instagram.
The fulfillment process would've started sooner, but as many of you are probably aware, the cost of fuel is ridiculous right now. (Redacted rant.) Due to this, we had to ship the bulk order via sea instead of air, and the plushies took around a month to get to us.
Thank you all for your patience post-campaign. This has been such a valuable experience, despite the speed bumps. Seeing the plushies fill up my house today was surreal, I truly cannot thank you enough for supporting us!!

P.S. I will be posting a care guide for Byte's vinyl patch soon, in case it gets creased during shipping! It's a simple fix~
Edit: Blankets are included in this! We had planned on shipping blanket-only pledges much sooner, but illness/cons/and weather were major obstacles in that unfortunately. Here's some pics, they turned out great!
Reminder: All cards with remaining balances will be charged tomorrow! Plush production has officially begun!
Production will take 35 factory work days to complete. There's a holiday break in the middle of our production timeline, so it will realistically take our manufacturer ~2 months to complete production. I will continue to post frequent updates regarding production and fulfillment on Discord and BackerKit!

⭐ Because the plushies are entering production and so close to fulfillment, I will be charging everyone for their shipping costs starting tomorrow!
⭐ There are also a few backers who still need to answer their surveys!! I have been sending reminders via email periodically. Unfortunately, if you do not answer your survey, I will not know what items you want and your pledge will be considered a donation. You will not receive your rewards if the survey is not filled out.
Our coloring book came out soooo cute! The sample is currently on the way to us. We will test the paper with various materials before we begin production to ensure that the paper is high quality.
I am sooo proud of this book! All of the guest artists' pages came out absolutely perfect as well!
P.S. All of the blankets arrived today! We have a convention next weekend, but it is our goal to begin shipping "blanket only" orders upon returning. We will keep you all updated! ♥
Yayyyyyy
We want to have the 4 other plushies in hand before fully approving the designs, juuust in case something needs corrected. The factory is going on holiday February 1st for ~3 weeks, so getting started now is pretty important. The remaining samples should get here and be approved for production in the next week or so! The factory will hold onto all of the Cade and Fizz plushies until the others are completed, so everything will still ship together. 🫡
We also got approved to rent a space short term for fulfillment!! I'm excited about that because our home is kind of tiny, so that's been a concern lol. The space we're renting is right next to a local game store too!

Here he is!!! The man, the myth, the legend... Timmy T Rex!
Fun fact, his original concept wasn't cool kid gamer boy. He was actually going to be an employee at the arcade. We realized pretty early on that it would be a shame if he wasn't invited to the party, so we scrapped that idea and revived him for #gamerlyfe
Our manu is currently working on fixing the propeller fabric and shape, but just look how stinkin' cute he is!! I think the colors and the embroidery turned out so beautiful on him. I'm honestly very shocked that our manu was able to get this color for us. The last time we spoke about colors for this design I was told that they couldn't order what I wanted. Very pleasant surprise.
I also reeeeally love his goofy 3D teeth.. he's just a baby.
he's so cute djfhakdsjfh
embroidery!!!
tatted up
u got games?
he angy
We will begin production once this sample is approved! Reminder that any remaining balances will be charged on January 12th!
09/14 I asked if the campaign owner would formally post an update regarding shipping, since their last update was 4+ months ago and people are getting antsy about what is happening with their order and shipping. They replied with the following:
"I hate to say “yes! coming soon!” when that was what I’ve said before, but I just need to stress that the actual physical work of fulfillment is more important to us than typing/posting an update where I tell everyone the totals and how many we have to go 😅 There’s just a lot that needs done, so proofreading the update post unfortunately keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.
The update is basically to say that we have under 100 pledges left to fulfill, there are still smaller pledges in there, but most of those are large. My wife also now has a better work schedule to accommodate fulfillment, and our convention schedule is clear until November. I will still work out a timeline to formally share this info."
Hopefully this info will be helpful for anyone waiting on an update.
