✨✨IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN SOFTIES!!!✨✨

Here at LittleSofts (by which I mean, just me, Sunny☀️) I like to get a new campaign going as soon as the old ones wrap up. Sunshine Teddies (do you want Series 2 by the way? comment that as well!) will be fulfilling soon and as soon as it's completed, I wanna get this BIG HUGS project underway!!

BIG HUGS Weighted Plushies are actually LittleSofts' most popular plush type (click here to meet them if you are unfamiliar!), but I never had a chance to run a campaign for them. I had enough faith in their shop drops, which always did well, and wanted to give campaign spotlight to new shapes, like Snuggle Paws, or Sunshine Teddies.

But BIG HUGS are evolving... IN AN AMAZING WAY! Right now they only have canine, feline, and reptile shapes... and I want to make all the animal shapes. This is a big challenge, as each new species requires a totally brand new pattern and tons of revisions and nitpicking to get right.

With that in mind, what critters do you most want to see as BIG HUGS... or any future LittleSofts plushies? Please comment below -- I say it all the time, but these comments you leave have shaped so many characters and so many campaigns. We even make spreadsheets to count how much critters get commented or liked!!

ALSO! SPECIAL SURPRISE! I loved the reservation feature used on my last campaign and I wanted to make it a crazy good item this time. So meet the very first NON BLIND Lil Freekz weird mini plush ... Paprika the Maned Wolf! Who is possibly the most popular LittleSofts character of all time...?

If you reserve your Paprika now, you get her for only 10$, which is crazy!!!! Once the campaign begins, she will be an add-on, but will cost 20$ instead. This is a tiny, 3-inch tall plushie with a little ribbon and ball chain, perfect for hanging on your bag! I will have a prototype ready to show you before the campaign launches too, if you need more time to consider!

On another note, I recently read some comments such as "how come LittleSofts runs so many campaigns?" and "How can she handle it? LittleSofts must be a huge multi million dollar company!" -- and well, for those curious, simply put, I love to run and organize big projects! Campaigns are the best way to make all my characters! I have a big backlog of 20+ characters I am trying to make into plushies all the time... and every week I doodle more. And then I read your comments, and I doodle more. I love to make characters, and turn animals into colorful and goofy versions of that animal, and design my own mythical critters, and even invent my own species. This is what brings me joy everyday.

As for handling it -- no worries!! I trained in running a little shop and doing fulfillment for 15 years in Tokyo, and learned all I know! I really am just one person, with my two friends helping with emails, and my cool Discord and Backerkit comments mod. I run LittleSofts from my home and pack and fulfill and photograph and design it all myself here. For really big campaigns that won't fit in my garage, we have fulfillment help in Texas sometimes! 

I wish I did have million dollar investors, but right now, all campaign money raised goes into making the plushies, and we are a very small operation! So your pledges, and your support, and your comments, mean a lot to this small business, and means I can keep doodling new characters and starting them on their journey to plushdom.

So I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, you mean the world to me, and I love having fun doing this, and making plushies I hope can comfort you in some way, which is the entire purpose of LittleSofts existing at all. THANK YOU!!!!
