The Campaign Has Ended... Here's What's Next! 🎉
Hey Everybody!
First off- THANK YOU so much for getting this project funded! We did it!!!!!
First off- THANK YOU so much for getting this project funded! We did it!!!!!
I took a few days to get all of my information together for you, for one big update, instead of a bunch of little ones haha.
Just a quick check-in with you all, so you know where we are with the production process:
- Currently, most everyone has been charged for their plushies, and funds have been collected.
- Though, there are a few declined transactions, so please double-check your payment methods if you haven't received a charge yet! These will need to be resolved before surveys are finalized so I can include your plushie in the production order. If the payment is still unresolved when surveys are finalized, the pledge will not be included in the production quantity!
Please reach out to me if you are unsure if your payment went through, and I'd be happy to help!

- The big Sheppy is in round 2 revisions, so updates coming soon!
- I estimate getting the sample of big Sheppy before mid-October, so domestic and international shipping costs will be calculated when I get him and get the final weight/package dimensions settled.
- Since there aren't additional samples to do, and Sheppy is pretty much finished with revisions, this process will move pretty quickly. So, I am anticipating having surveys ready by the end of October!
- Once surveys are collected---> I get my final count and the plushies move into production! 🎉🎉🎉
** Please note these are estimates, and the timeline may change a little bit depending on how long it takes to get Sheppy in the mail, etc. **
Regarding the Stickers + Keychains:
- Community vote sticker designs are also in the works! I will be posting the official poll for the designs once finished, and the winner will be the sticker that ALL backers receive :)
- For my Early Birds- your rewards include a special holographic sticker! Would you like to have a separate Early Bird-only poll to choose the holo design? ... or would you prefer for the holo sticker to be a mystery design? Let me know!
- For my Keychain Add -ons/Pledgers- For those of you who added a keychain to your pledge, or selected a keychain pledge tier, the production orders will be placed when the survey is finalized! I may add Wishkeeper Unicorn as a second keychain design option as well. Stay tuned!
Annnnnnd that's it for now! I am busy busy busy working away on logistics to get these guys made. If you need to get a hold of me for any reason -definitely email me ([email protected]) ! Or even shoot me a dm on my socials (@mandys_markk). I check em all frequently.
Thanks y'all!

🚨5 DAYS LEFT & IMPORTANT INFO!!🚨
🚨🚨5 days left for ZipCritterz & some important info! 🚨🚨
🐕 My full size Sheppy sample should be ready by Wednesday so I’ll be sharing pictures of that here soon.
Also- Quick reminder to check the campaign and make any changes/ adjustments to your pledge as we wind down to the last few days.
As it stands, I’ve had quite a few cancellations so I did the quick math for just Sheppy being unlocked- and if everyone backed for multiple plushes moves to a single plushie tier (assuming backers don’t want multiples of the same plushie lol) and without more cancellations we will be $115 short for Sheppy- to which I will fund that gap to make sure sure he at least hits the funding goal to be made.
So just hang tight we’re almost there!
But any shares or shoutouts greatly help get the word out that it’s down to the wire!
And on a more personal note:
It’s been a huge learning curve and I appreciate everyone’s grace, support, and patience with me which I navigate my first campaign. Between working full time and doing art/ art commissions, I also spend a lot of time with my father who has been doing very poorly health wise (due to age and other conditions ) so I’m just a very busy person and this has been my big passion project alongside it all. I can’t tell you how much love and effort I’ve poured into these little guys over the months I’ve spent developing them ❤️
I really want this to be a success and see Sheppy become real ❤️
Thank You

Cache Cat unlocks at $8,000, and once we reach that goal, EVERY backer gets a FREE acrylic keychain! (Design will be decided via community vote!)
I’ve also added 2.5" acrylic holographic keychains as both an add-on and a pledge option for anyone who might want a little ZipCritterz merch without committing to a plush, or if ya want more ZipCritterz art! More designs may be added throughout the campaign, too!
Thank you for backing, sharing, commenting, and helping spread the word! You guys are amazing, seriously ✨

💭 Stickers Feedback & Brainstorming
I'm starting to think about the vinyl sticker designs for the community poll and would love to hear what characters, expressions, or silly moments you'd be excited to see! Drop your ideas below! <3
I'll use your suggestions to help decide what designs to create for the final poll at the end of the campaign!
I did two little rough, sketchy concept stickers for reference:

Project Update: Sheppy Sample Pics!!
First looks at the big Sheppy sample!
He has a few small cosmetic adjustments that need to be made from being upscaled but those will be made with revision rounds before production happens. More photos to come :)
