Feathered Fox Plush - Series 2

Smoke surveys have been sent, which means 5% of you will be receiving your survey early! This is a great way for me to make sure everything is working properly before I send the rest out.

Please, if you need help or run into errors, email me at [email protected]

The rest of the surveys will be sent either this weekend or early next week!

And please, if your pledge payment failed, now is the time to fix it. I will most likely cancel all failed pledges in early November. I won't be ordering as many extra plush so I need accurate counts.

PREORDER STORE IS OPEN

The preorder store is open. If you pledged to my campaign DO NOT PREORDER. Wait for your survey to add on more plush :)

If you didn't pledge to my campaign, now is your chance to order plush while you can! Kitsune, Blackbird, Cardinal, and Mockingbird are also available to preorder, but with the caveat that 65 of each need to be ordered. If 65 are not ordered the item is removed from your order and you are not charged for it.

You can preorder on my campaign home page. There is a preorder button that will take you to the shop! Or here is a direct link

Happy shopping! 

Thank you so much everyone for an amazing 2nd campaign. I'm so pleased to say we made it to Rosy Maple Moth Fox at the very end for a total of 8 designs unlocked. Here's a pic of them all together (minus mini Goldfinch who hasn't arrived yet and mini fennec fox who is still being edited)

The unlocked designs include

Luna moth fox
Kestrel fox
Fruit Bat fox
Fawn Fox
Rosy Maple Moth Fox
Mini Honduran white Fox
Mini Goldfinch Fox
Mini Fennec Fox

Designs currently still locked are Fantasy Kitsune, Northern Mockingbird, Blackbird, and Cardinal, pictured above.

The locked designs still have a chance to be unlocked! I am setting them up now in the surveys and my preorder store. If 65 people preorder a design, that design become funded and 'unlocked'. If a locked design does not get to 65 orders the design is not funded. The item is removed from your order and you will not be charged for it. 

My preorder store will open hopefully within the next week. The preorder store can be found on my campaign page. The original 'Back it Now' button will become the 'Preorder' button. Surveys should also go out in the next week or so! 

Someone also asked for more pictures in the sun so here's individual pics of the unlocked guys. The sun was shining perhaps a bit too brightly today. 

Much love to you all! As alway, ask questions if you have any. I can always be reached faster by email, [email protected]

The final day is here! I can't believe it. We have unlocked 7 out of 12 designs so far, but I believe we will get to 8 unlocked before the end!

I believe I may have been too ambitious with 12 designs, but we will see if some can be funded post campaign during preorders and surveys ❤️

I also wanted to share a discord server I made! I know a couple people have asked. I think it will be a much better place to communicate and brainstorm future ideas, campaigns, and other info. Of course, I'll still make updates here!

Anyways, go easy on me with it! I struggle to navigate discord sometimes and can easily be overwhelmed with notifications so I sometimes have to turn them all off. But I am excited to try using it more :)

Sorry for the spam today, but with just 5 days left I have decided to help fund the last few designs by reducing the stretch goals! Maybe this will help give the extra push they need to get funded <3

In my previous update I also mentioned another option to help fund any locked designs when my campaign ends. That option also still stands :) 

Thanks for all your support! 

At last, fennec fox has an updated prototype! It's still not perfect, but it's already better. Keep in mind, she is a stuffie, so her anatomy will never be truly accurate to a real fennec fox. I think it's a good representation of one though :)

Here 's the old version on the left, new current prototype on the right.

And some more pics

Edits I want done still! Faux fur back in the ears. They went for a super short minky fabric, I'm sure it was a misunderstanding. I want a faux fur like before, just shorter. If that's not possible, I would choose no faux fur. Nose needs to be waaaay smaller still. And under jaw smaller too. This is a slightly edited image below to show changes to muzzle and nose.

I'm wondering if the darker tan stripe on the muzzle is causing this bulge underneath, thus making the under jaw appear too big. I'm not positive this can be fixed without removing the dark striping (which I don't want to do)

And a small detail, but I want this part around the wing embroidered.

Also, please note, the bottom wing position cannot change. I have been informed that it would not be possible to replicate it accurately enough during mass production. Here is what it looks like currently and how it will stay. It's not ideal, but it could be worse. Also, the wings ARE purple, but for some reason the camera makes it appear blue-ish I've been told. 

Overall, I'm pleased with her so far and I believe she will be super cute once finalized. I'm so happy her design is unlocked! She was the one goal I really hoped we'd get to. I'm also debating offering her without wings for those who want. It's hard to find fennec fox plush sometimes! Let me know if it's something you guys would like!

Rosy maple moth is next and I believe we can get there before my campaign ends ❤️

As for the other designs that have not been unlocked yet, here is my other option to fund them.

After my campaign ends I can set up 'goals' to unlock each separate design. If 65 of a design are purchased, either through surveys or preorders, that design will be funded and put into production. My campaign page will turn into a preorder store about 2 weeks after my campaign ends.

So, if you are purchasing multiple designs and 1 of them is not unlocked by the last day of my campaign, edit your pledge to only include the number of fox plush you want that are unlocked. In the survey I send out you will be able to add any of the 'locked designs'. Surveys will be sent to your email roughly 2 weeks after my campaign ends.

If you ONLY want one of the locked designs then I recommend canceling your pledge on the last day (there's usually a surge of backers in the last couple of days, so there's a chance some locked designs may become unlocked). You can then order the design you want through my preorder store. It will open roughly 2 weeks after my campaign ends and go for at least a couple of weeks.

If there are not 65 of a locked design purchased after my campaign ends then it will not be made. The item is removed from your order and you are not charged for it. I will keep the design for a future campaign :)

I know this may be confusing, especially if you haven't used Backerkit before! As always, I'm happy to answer any questions.

*Edit* I just received finalized pics of goldfinch! I had them remove the stiff foam from his wings so they are a bit softer and floppier as well.
