Project Update: BeanBuds Final Photos+ Preorder store only has one week left!

(Remember: You can join our discord to discuss the project, get more sneak peeks, etc!)ย 


๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ๐ŸพThe preorder store is OPEN until May 17th for anyone who did not pledge!๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ


The BeanBuds final photos are in! I hope you like them! The only change will be to make Raspberry's banada lighter pink!

With that all items from the campaign have been properly photographed and the preorder store will formally close in a week!


Also, if you did not finish your survey (backers only, not for preorder customers), you will risk losing your pledge with no refund or being sent a random item without the option of choosing. There are over 90 people who have still not finished surveys, which is way too many. Please finish them!


Thanks so much softies!!

Hi Softies!!

The surveys will lock for good tomorrow and there's still nearly 200 folks who have not filled them out. Please, please fill out surveys and make your choices! I've done four of these campaigns now and there are always folks who pledge actual hard-earned money for goods and then never return to claim them -- it really feels so sad and confusing for creators!

So please make your choices ASAP or you could risk not getting a backpack at all, or getting a random one chosen for you when shipping time comes. So sorry to have to be pushy-- but let's get this done so we can move on to the very very fun production updates which we will begin to have soon!

Actually, how about a bandana/inside lining design PEEK? THEY LOOK ALL READY TO GO!!!



Thank you friends!!!!!!

I donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m doing wrong ๐Ÿ˜ญ but Iโ€™ve typed my card info in so many times and double checked that it is correct, but it keeps sending me and worry code saying my card info is wrong and to contact my bank. I called and they said there has been no charges that have tried to go though. Iโ€™ve paid for the product itself with the same card, and now that Iโ€™m trying to pay for shipping it wonโ€™t work :(

.........they are totally done!

These finished prototypes will ship to me next week to begin being photographed BY ME, videoed, put into funny situations, traveled with, tested, etc!!





There is NO photoshopping done on these pals! But they are not posed very well, so just leave that to me.ย 


Raspberry is already here and finished, but awaiting her proper photoshoot with the others!




The BeanBuds are also coming along so nicely! There is a little photoshopping on these, and four need more work, but you can see the progress on the mini pals!!




Thank you so much softies!!

If you confirm your order it locks your survey, that is you locking your choices in when you hit that green button at the end of it. You don't have to do it until right before the period closes on 4/30 if you need more time. If you made a mistake and need it unlocked please reach out to Backerkit but do not feel like you need to fill it out before you're ready during the survey time. It won't make it ship faster, there's no prize for being first. Take you time and make the choices you mean to.

Hello all! I was wondering how I may be able to edit or cancel my order for the locked survey. I had only recently seen the Round 4 batch of prototypes, including Sesame Griffin, and when I went to edit my survey, I noticed it was locked with me being unaware of the lock date. Basically, I had wanted to wait until all the prototypes had been released before making my final decision since I know the concept art doesn't always match the final project (which is absolutely fine and I love to see the process!) and had thus chosen Plum Possum as a placeholder until I could go back again and select another option if I saw fit. I was somewhat indecisive as I thought Plum Possum was really cute, but wanted to see Sesame Griffin's prototype finished and from different angles before choosing them. By the time I'd felt sure I wanted to get Sesame Griffin and went to manage my pledge and edit my survey, it was locked :(. Then, the other day on an a SunnyCritters Instagram post regarding the newest prototypes, I'd seen someone say they were able to reach out to BackerKit directly to change their order after the survey was locked, which gave me some hope, yet this is the second campaign I've backed and am still relatively new to this kind of thing. I wanted to make a post to see if someone in the community could help me either edit the survey or cancel my current order of Plum Possum so that I might get Sesame Griffin from the pre-order store instead (though, my card has already been charged). I may end up reaching out to BackerKit myself, but I wanted to see if I could get guidance here first and know there's probably a limited window of time to make any change happen. If anyone knows what to do, please let me know!! It's caused me a fair amount of stress since I've previously not had issues with BackerKit and have waited to create this discussion post to see if I could figure it out myself first (and haven't had any luck so far) and would rather not be charged for something I don't want anymore. Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! :)

Will items on the heads of the plushies be removable (such as the possum babies)? This sort of thing really effects my decision on which one to get.

Project Update: Snug-Alongs Prototypes ROUND 3: THE PROTOTYPES ARE AT 99%!

(Remember: You can join our discord to discuss the project, get more sneak peeks, etc!)ย 


๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ๐ŸพThe preorder store is OPEN for anyone who did not pledge!๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ


Okay folks. The prototypes are 99% DONE AND SHOULD BE ON THEIR WAY TO ME NEXT WEEK!!

A disclaimer I now know is needed: These photos are just quickly taken by the manufacturer and are not posed cutely or lit very well. Their ears tend to be flopped back and their unstuffed bodies are very crunkled and scrunkled. Sometimes based on the angle of the photo, or the lighting, or my bad photoshopping, the backpacks may look odd to you. But this is just the process and once I have them in my hands, I can take really nice photos showing the colors and details more accurately!ย 

We are also not accepting feedback or criticism or requests for changes at this time, as the artwork --> prototype process began long ago, and thousands of people have now chosen their backpacks based on the work already done. We simply cannot please everyone, and changing anything now would be unfair. Please do not finish your surveys until you are sure of who you want to adopt, and comments about being disappointed/wanting changes/other general criticisms are generally not required. I am a person who THRIVES from criticism and advice and as I work, I ask for feedback constantly, but for this project: it is basically finished and we are in a different stage now!

That being said, here are the scrunkly, wunkly, crunkly prototype photos!
(Photoshopping has been done to Cloud's mane as him needing a haircut is one of the final revisions we are doing, and the orange in Lemon's wing has been lightened as it came out too dark. Otherwise, they are unaltered!)





For the inevitable "can we see the back/front/side/more detailed view of Whatshisname?" questions: yes, you will have all the angles and all the views once I have them in hand in the next week or two! So just stay tuned!

A side note, BeanBuds are also being worked on very hard and we hope to have some of them fully finished next week too. Stay tuned! AND THANK YOU SOFTIES!

Hi all just a reminder for people who might feel the need to critique the prototypes or announce disappointment they don't look like how you imagined the art translating to the plush here on Backerkit. Please DON'T do that here. This is not a debate space. Sunny's manufacturer is following the art as close as possible. Colors are never going to match exactly but there is an attempt to get them as close as possible. The differences you see can in some cases be down to lighting or monitor settings too. But Sunny is going to be matching things as close as humanly possible in this process. There is no point nitpicking them or asking for changes at this point as many others have already chosen then because of how they look now. Again this is not a debate space. Crowdfunding campaigns can sometimes allow critique but even the ones that do wouldn't take it once we're this far in the process. Trust Sunny's judgement, Sunny does not make subpar quality plushies you can see everything made in the past on the Littlesofts shop website. Sunny has many years of experience with this. These early prototype shots are not taken by Sunny is another thing to remember. All these ones in the white space? Those are the makers doing them and often quickly, you will see a big difference in picture quality when Sunny gets them in hand to take proper shots in natural light settings and pose them professionally. There was no need to rush completing your survey as we have over a month still left but if you are completely unhappy you can contact Backerkit support. Thank you.

Project Update: Snug-Alongs Prototypes ROUND 2: The Backpackening

(Remember: You can join our discord to discuss the project, get more sneak peeks, etc!)ย 


๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ๐ŸพThe preorder store is OPEN for anyone who did not pledge!๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿพ


We have more prototypes! They are almost complete now with only very minor changes (which have been photoshopped). Mostly Cloud's horns were too big, Charmy's fur isn't the right shade of yellow, Sesame's arms were too furry, and Lemon's face needed adjustment, on top of other minor color tweaks. Oh, Raspberry is fine. Perfect Raspberry! Sheesh!!!



(BTW because I know it's gonna be asked... Charmy's ears are VERY floppy, don't worry! So are Sesame's wings and Lemon's wings!)

BeanBuds prototypes are also coming along nicely but not many are quite ready to show off yet! ChocoChip really came out a mini version of his big self...can you even tell which is which?!



Thanks softies, and see you in the next update...! Don't forget to do your surveys once you have decided and pre-order if you missed the campaign! But once locked surveys and orders cannot be changed, so only go for it once you are sure! Open till April 30th!


Again: The preorder store is OPEN for anyone who did not pledge!

I don't want to be rude when I say this, so understand this post comes from a place of love. I've noticed more than a few people complaining about having locked in their surveys, only to be unhappy with how the prototype of their chosen Snug-Along looks. I understand the concern and panic of thinking you've made the 'wrong' choice, however... Sunny has given multiple warnings NOT to lock in your surveys until you are 100% positive about which reward you want, and has made it clear that we all have until April 30th to make our decisions. They've also said that in the event you should want to change your reward, you should contact Backerkit directly. I have no problem with people changing their minds about which plush they want, heck, I've cycled through wanting pretty much ALL of them in the last month. Hence, even though I'm more than 95% positive I'm going to want Charmy and Sesame, I'm not going to take my survey until I've seen ALL the finished prototypes. What upsets me is people being mean to Sunny and the Snuggie babies! Saying they regret their choice, and that they don't look as cute as the sketch, and so on. You can't go 'wrong' with ANY of these sweet babies! You could give me my least favorite (Peanut), and I'd still love and cherish him. Understand, Sunny reads these comments, and although you cant hurt the Snug-alongs feelings, you can hurt Sunnys. Please be gentle when changing your mind and asking for help. Being a part of a project like this is a privilege. We're not customers... we're backers!

Project Update: SURVEYS ARE SENT!

(Remember: You can join our discord to discuss the project, get more sneak peeks, etc!)ย 


Hello Softes!! All surveys have been sent out!

If you are ready to pick your rewards, feel free to fill your survey out now!

If you want to want to see finished prototypes, we should have them in a few more weeks, and surveys will not close until late April, so you have time to decide. I WILL NOT CLOSE SURVEYS UNTIL ALL PROTOTYPES ARE FINISHED.


The preorder store is OPEN for anyone who did not pledge! This will also close in late April.


You will be charged for any additional goods and shipping once you have filled out your survey. Please do not fill it out until final decisions are made, as it will lock in your order at that time. You can still change it later, but you will have to email support to do so.


Thanks so much and have fun picking your new pals out!

Hey there! I was hoping to up my pledge to a 2x before the campaign closed but I didn't make it home before the campaign ended (filled with regret!!!!) I was just wondering if there was any option that I'm missing to upgrade the pledge level on the survey, or if add-ons are the only way now? Some campaigns I have backed in the past had a screen toward the start for changing pledge level so I just thought I would ask before resigning myself to spending and extra $20 for the second backpack ๐Ÿ˜… Looking forward to these cuties, regardless! <3
