i was looking at the gnawborn pin from the collab and the little mouse is so cute, so i had an idea obviously its like not something I expect anything to come from but. a little mouse cryptid would be so cute to add to the roster at some point! small with big ears, maybe it could be something like a brownie :]
Project Update: Survey and preorder store updates!
I'm looking forward to taking a little break myself, and with prep on the surveys and preorder store almost finished it looks like that might actually happen this weekend haha. The rest of this week was almost entirely dedicated to getting the preorder store set up, which took A LOT more work than I anticipated! We have over 90 unique SKUs for shirts alone so to say it was tedious is a tremendous understatement.
The good news is the preorder store is now live! And surveys are 95% done, I'm just waiting on the backerkit team to do some last minute finagling on their end to get the bundle add-ons working. This can take up to 5 business days, so I'm tentatively planning for surveys to go out on May 5th.
In the meantime if you'd like to look over all the available items and see the size charts for each style of shirt, feel free to check out the preorder store!
Please remember if you already backed the project, do not place a preorder through the store.
Charmsey is chipping away the last few collab illustrations and should have the final artwork finished before surveys go out. Below is the latest WIP for the sweater-- doesn't it just get cuter and cuter? 🥹
I've also ordered the rest of the samples for the button-ups! The next batch of samples should all have pockets and customized button colors.
And finally I'll be paying for the pin and shaker samples next week, so I should have a pretty steady stream of things to share with you over the next couple months, yay!

Hi there!! I was wondering if there’s any chance spectral beez has any chance of coming back at some point! I really love his design and would love to see him made real! I couldn’t find anywhere that was already asked so I figured I would ask!

Project Update: A first look? 👀
As expected many of them still need some tweaks, but they also look better than I was anticipating for a first look! Thornheart is virtually finished, and Cosmic Beez only needs a material swap on their badge and star to be totally perfect.
Attaching them all with my notes in case you're curious about what each one goes through on their way to becoming an official snughoul!
Poor Glitter Moon got a bit of a raw deal compared to the others, but that's okay-- I'm sure the next pass will look much closer to the concept art 💖

Hello! How does the back side of the cosmic beelzebear look like? Does it have a tail? Also, is there a picture of its design available somewhere? :>
Project Update: That's a wrap!! 🎉🎉🎉
In the meantime I'd like share a brief timeline that covers the next few weeks, so you know what to expect-- if you backed series 2 this will all sound very familiar and if you're new here I hope this clears up any lingering confusion!
Week 1 - Payments take about 2 weeks to process. While this is happening I will be working on getting surveys and the preorder store ready to go live. The preorder store will probably launch by next week, but if you already backed please wait for your survey to add more items! Otherwise you'll be charged twice for shipping and that's no fun.
Week 2 - By the end of this week surveys should be almost ready to launch! Usually a smoke test is performed to make sure everything is working correctly (a small percentage of surveys are sent out and responses are collected and monitored for around 24 hours), and then the bulk go out if everything looks good.
Week 2 to 4 (and onward) - I usually follow a two week update schedule unless more exciting stuff happens in between. These are pretty much just progress reports so you know where we're at on prototyping and all that fun stuff!
I do recommend at least skimming them though because I also share important dates this way and address questions I see popping up frequently.
Late May to June - The preorder store and surveys should close around this time. If you added any items onto your pledge or placed a preorder, this is when you'll be charged for these items. I don't have a concrete closure date right now (prototyping is pretty nebulous that way) but I will share one at least two weeks in advance.
I think that just about covers all the most important milestones! SO looking forward to sharing some prototype photos with you all within the next week or so. We've got quite the eclectic bunch of snughouls coming up and I just know they're going to look incredible 💖
Project Update: Only a few hours to go! ✨
With just a few hours to go I wanted to squeeze in one more thank you for the incredible turnout, and a final hoorah of sorts by unlocking Dragon Fruit Bat a little early! I'm kind of in awe we're almost at 90k already, and know 100k is all but guaranteed over the next month and some change of prototyping so it just makes sense!
Remember the bug friend pin set is unlocked too, so it will also be available on the survey sent out later this month!
And finally I just want to reiterate that there will be a preorder window after the campaign, so don't fret or put yourself in a financial bind if you can't afford everything you want right now. You'll have the opportunity to edit your survey and add items through most of May and potentially into June 💖
Project Update: 6th Snughoul Unlocked! And Creature Feature: AuDHD Creatures ✨
We finally hit the 80k mark, meaning a 6th snughoul plush is UNLOCKED! Not only that but Rosy Maple made a stunning comeback in the polls so it looks like they'll be the one joining us first!
Remember if we hit 100k, I'll add Dragon Fruit Bat as well. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, both before the campaigns official ending or after, during the preorder phase!
We should also be getting a plushie update this week, and I'm looking forward to the boost of engagement that will trigger 💖
Now time for the last creature feature while the campaign is live!
I volunteered to draw Ash, the anxiety bunny moth! As someone who has dealt with anxiety all my life, it was an honor to draw them and be part of this project in some small way. You'll soon be able to grab both these designs as a pin, and charm/sticker respectively!

Congratulations to Evan for yet another incredibly successful campaign! Some mindblowing achievements of this campaign: -#1 most funded campaign in all of Pintopia -Third most funded campaign of all the ones live on the WHOLE site (as of right before ending) -2nd largest number of backers in all of Pintopia -Despite being only 0.8% of all Pintopia (1 campaign out of 121), it contributed over 1000 of the total 23,000 backers, and $91,745 of the total $972,735 in funding (Just under 10%!!!) I feel like Snughouls is a cult classic on it’s way to becoming a cultural icon. Thank you everyone for contributing and thank you Evan for continuously making cool stuff for us to love, obsess over, and spend all our money on 😂

Since Evan (McMadmissile) has so graciously reassured us that we can add more items in our surveys and via the preorder store, why don't we help him get a better sense of what he'll need to place manufacturing orders for? Please only reply with items you 1,000,000,000% *for sure* will add in surveys/order in the store. Obviously unexpected things can happen at any time to us all, but barring those kind of totally unforeseeable events, what are you ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE you will add? As for me: * a bat sweatshirt * bug button down shirt * bug friend pin set * Sakura Wolpertinger, Cosmic Beelzebear, and Thorn Heart Wolpertinger (darling Glitter Moon Bat will be my pledge plush 🌙) What are everyone else's *for SURE* survey/preorder add-ons? (Remember what Evan said- don't place yourself in a bind! I'm getting this much in add-ons only because my tax return will finally be sent to me by then, lol)
Project Update: Final Plush Poll! Just 4 days and 4k to go!!! ⭐
I know you're all on the edge of your seat to know who we unlock next, and with four days to go I think now is the opportune time to decide just that. Here are are last two adorably monstrous critters I have to share this pintopia-- Dragon Fruit Bat, and the return of Rosy Maple Mothman!
Because I love them both, and because I love seeing everyone celebrate, if we reach 100k both plushies will be unlocked and not just the winner of this poll.
I'm optimistic that we'll see some prototypes this week, and that this head start will make it possible to stay on schedule even with an additional plush thrown into the mix.
Looking for something to do while you wait for your new friends to arrive?
While I love backerkit as a platform, it has its limitations as a public forum and filling that void is where the subreddit comes in! The amount of creativity and talent this project has attracted continues to blow my mind and I look forward to seeing what everyone shares 💖

Did we ever get the chance to see the full Wolpertinger Sweater Design? I remember seeing the sketching and reading we'd get the full design not long after, but i haven't heard anything about it in a hot minute.
