I wanted to check in this week and go over some of the progress we've made so far. First off, the meat pop plush is virtually finished! Because of some difficulties sourcing a purple zebra stripe fabric, I opted to go in a slightly different direction with this first version.
This is a pretty stark departure from the original color palette though, so I've also got a more similar one in the works now. We sourced the perfect fabric and I'm confident it's going to look both adorable and delicious!
Both options will be available via the preorder store, and anyone who added the meat pop plush to their survey via the campaign will receive the striped design most similar to the concept art by default (however you can edit this if you prefer the green one).
Gutsy and Moonlight Mothman are nearing completion as well! Unfortunately with Gutsy the bone applique I was hoping for isn't possible, but the way the belly marking is applied was changed slightly to look a bit cleaner and I'm still very happy with them overall.
All they need is darker circles under their eyes, and they'll be finished!
Mothman is receiving a bit of a facelift to look as similar to the concept art as possible as well as a good fluffing, but I believe the next update will be a promising one.
In addition to these updates I just paid for all of the remaining prototypes (apart from the other moths), so progress pictures of everyone else should be trickling in very soon!
In case you don't follow me on twitter, I'd like to share this here as well. We hit an INCREDIBLE milestone last week. I knew we would hit the big 500k eventually but honestly wasn't expecting to be celebrating it so soon, so thank you all again for your love and enthusiasm! 💖 Your excitement is what keeps this project chugging along, and every extra dollar will be going into future prototypes and releases!
Don't quote me on this but I think this also puts us in the top 5 most funded plushie projects ever-- how cool is that??
Finally I've been doing my best to respond to any support requests within 24 hours and so far I've been doing a good job of keeping up with everyone. If you reached out to me and haven't received a response yet, feel free to give me a poke here! Its likely your message was eaten or accidentally overlooked by me.
My main hubs of communication are email, twitter, and here so if you reach out to me somewhere else it's very likely I won't see your message right away.
