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.
