Hello all! Launch is on the horizon with the end of February barreling toward us. Are you ready for Spring? I sure am. Longer days and warmer weather here we come. I've been working away at finalizing everything for the campaign and we're now in tip-top shape to launch! I'm here with some art updates and early chances to participate for you all.

There will be an opportunity at the end of the stretch goals to unlock 4 community choice designs: 3 food bags and 1 forbidden snack! The voting for these bag ideas is already open and can be found here:

Currently for the food themed bags, Potion Bottle is in the lead, followed VERY closely by Stego Dino Nuggie and Big Shrimp. They're currently the early standouts by such a margin that I will probably start working on finalizing some art for them very soon. Speaking of finalized art, I have a pile of it to share with you all!

Art and even photos of the other full size bags are out there, but I haven't put up the full spread for these. Here's the art for Tinned Chow and the sardine pencil bag! The pencil bag is meant to match the sardines at the bottom of Tinned Chow, so you can have it be as full as you'd like. Depending on the final zipper choice for the sardine bag I'd like to add the option for a fish hook shaped zipper pull, but we'll see! Colored zippers tend to be less durable so it ultimately may not be a great idea for this one. Both of these bag use fabric printing to add detail to the interior. It is a process I'm picky about, so you can expect to see me being very picky about it while prototyping goes on.

Our grilled meat keychains in the zebra color, neon dino color, and new jurassic color, along with a tuna, salmon, and fish skeleton (to match mako chow, bear chow, and alley chow,) a tiny t-bone and fried egg (to match the mini pouches and sable chow,) and a sardine (to match tinned chow and I suppose also the pencil bag!) These are ultra-cute and ultra-simplified, and if we unlock them all I think I'd like to make a BOGO mystery box for them.

Any of these that unlock will be available to reserve backers as a choice for their free plush keychain! If you see one you like among these please consider becoming a reserve backer. It will be the most cost effective way to get it if it's unlocked!

This is similar in color and concept to the Neon Dino bag from the first campaign, but I wanted something a little more referential with fewer colors. I look forward to seeing how this one turns out, but it is past all the full size bags that require new patterns! These types are actually a lot more expensive if you can believe it. It's a shame. That's actually why only the grilled color for the original campaign will be available to get as part of Second Bite. Re-ordering all the original campaign bags would mean adding a whopping 32 grand spread out between the goals. The price and shipping increases compared to when the original campaign ran have been brutal.
