Project Update: IMPORTANT: Upcoming Campaign Details and Clarification on Variant Selection.
Ahoy Troop!
This update will go over a variety of topics. I will do my best to keep it sectioned for you to easily reference if needed.

Clarification On "Choose Your Noopy" Style:
I did my best to cover all my bases on this previously, but forgot to take into consideration the likelihood of backers adding more plush after the campaign ends. After finding a workaround, I have decided to permit campaign backers to be able to choose their plush if they decide to add more after the campaign ends.
To clarify: This only applies to backers of the campaign. If you are not a backer by the time this campaign ends, this offer is null.
Non-Backers who preorder via the backerkit store we may launch (if we do not reach 500 backers) do not get to pick their style of Noopy. It will be entirely blind.

- "When are Surveys going to be issued?"
I am hopefully going to have them issued within 7-12 days of the campaign ending. This is dependent on Backerkit approving the surveys, and to allow enough time for all of the data to import. I will update backers to let you know when you should anticipate getting them!
- "Will Ace's Sample Be Viewable Before the Campaign Ends?"
Unfortunately, no. I am hopeful to have pictures of him sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. It really depends on the workload of the designer and the material availability.
- "When will Surveys close? (What does that mean?)"
Once I fire off surveys to backers (I will update when I do this), backers have 2 weeks to fill out and 'add on' any extra items they may want. "Closing" a survey just means I will close off the ability to add additional items to your pledge. You'll still be able to fill your survey out, pick your styles from the main campaign, etc as normal.. You just will not be able to add additional items from the campaign (such as another plush).
- "When will I be charged for post-campaign add ons?"
For backers and pre-order customers who add extra items post-campaign, I will begin processing those payments sometime in the middle of August. Again, I will communicate and give backers a heads up before this happens.
Failed Payments & Deadlines:
For those who are currently pledged to the campaign, payments for your primary (main) campaign items will be processed within 12 hours of the campaign ending. If your payment method fails, do not worry. Backerkit will automatically try to process your payment periodically for 2 weeks post-campaign, and attempt to notify you via email if they are unsuccessful.
Unresolved payment methods will be dropped from the campaign on August 14th.

- Shipping Fees:
Shipping fees will be charged separately closer to when we begin to process orders for fulfillment. Right now, this tentative timeline is around December, but realistically might be January.
I will update closer to that time frame to let backers know about the upcoming fees and provide a shipping chart.

- Production Commences → We wait patiently.. → Steven updates us on them being finished (October-Ish*)
- Steven sends me a handful of finished plush to look over and confirm match our production sample
- Plush Dispatch To me → I process payment methods for shipping fees (Late December/Early January*).

*Estimate Only. Does not include production delays or remakes if needed.
"How Do I pick My Noopy Styles?"
When your survey is issued (read the above for estimates on that), you will follow the steps to fill out your survey which includes 'selecting' your styles for eligible items, such as the blind bag plush. If you have multiple plush, the question will be repeated for #1, #2, #3, etcetc. You are also welcome to choose blind if you want to have the authentic blind bag experience. Note that all five styles are available, they're just cut off on these screenshots.

This same format will also apply for those who picked the single charm styles.
