New Pocketcat Sample + Feedback, Pin Process
Hi there friends, time for another update!
I received the new Pocketcat sample pictures today.
It’s definitely looking better but I think the legs could be thicker, a...
There's been almost a year of silence on this and their other projects, and only one Instagram post announcing they'd be at a convention.
I guess I'm just concerned about their well-being since their shop has disappeared and they said they'd be writing update posts.
Sorry for the delay in waiting, I wanted to have some news before I sent out another update!
Production
Pins: Everything has arrived and looks great. Thank you for all the enthusiasm, I can’t wait to get these out to you!
Kalev Plush: Mass production is in the final stretch. QC is ongoing so he arrives perfect.
Prototyping
Pocketcat & Moonless Plush: We’re still in the prototyping stage while I make final adjustments to the eye positioning so the expressions feel just right. I know waiting is tough, and I’m really sorry for the hold-up and I promise these tweaks are worth it for the final look. Unfortunately my manufacturer's pace has slowed down significantly now that they have our money.
Addresses & Shipping
Address Locking: Addresses are being locked now so we can line up labels and fulfilment smoothly. If you need to update your address after it locks, message me and I’ll change it manually.
Shipping Charges: We’re setting up shipping charges so everyone has time to make sure funds are available. You don’t have to pay ASAP if you're unavailable to, you will have from now until fulfillment (which will be a while still) to pay for your shipping.
Non-Plush Orders: If your pledge is pins / non-plush only and you've paid your shipping charges, your items will also be sent as part of this wave.
Hi there friends, it's time again for our monthly update.
Unfortunately, sampling is still taking way too long. The last update improved Pocketcat's eyes, but they're still not looking the way I want them to, and my manufacturer is taking a long time to update me.
Kalev keychains are now being produced! He had no more edits, so it's just straight production from here :) Still waiting for an update on Moonless unfortunately.
However, now all pins are complete, and shipping to me soon, including cross-collab pins! For our next update I hope to have finished samples for at least Pocketcat, and professional looking pictures of the enamel pins.
Hi friends! It's been a bit since the last update, so here's May's update!
Unfortunately, things have been going way slower than I expected. Sample updates from the manufacturer are going way slower, with edits taking weeks. At this point I would expect fulfillment to be pushed back a bit as I first expected sampling to take 1-2 months.
PLUSH
Pocketcat is almost done, but needs adjustment to the eye embroidery.

proposed edits
Kalev was received in my studio, he's very small and very cute!
Moonless is still in sample update hell, so I have no update for her. I'm hoping to get one in the next week or two.
PINS
Pins have all finished sampling and are in full production. Here's a look see at them.
That's it for now. I thank all of you for your patience, and I'm sorry this one wasn't very exciting! I hope that the next update will be more eventful ❤️
Hello friends! Things are still chugging along, let’s make an update for what’s happened in the last month!
Plush Samples
Pocketcat is one update away from being perfected! We just need to change the orientation of his arms back to the original.
Kalev’s first sample is done. His full production has been paid for now, and we’re going to be making him brown. Otherwise, no more changes to the design.
Moonless is still… struggling, but she’s definitely getting there. I expect needing one more update to perfect the design. I’m going to change the mane colour to the same one used on her tail, make her teeth more rounded and change the body material so the paws aren’t as different.
Pins
The mini Moonless and Pocketcats are in full production and are being filled with colour.
The cross collab pins have finished colouring and sanding and are now waiting for electroplating!
Tariffs
As many people know, the USA currently has an 145% tariff on Chinese goods, which has been a problem for lots of creators I know. I’ve had a few people ask if it will affect this campaign - for now, the answer is no.
I’m based in the UK and my plushies are being sent from here, so there should be no tariff charged to any of you in the US. Currently UK goods are being charged at 10%, but your pledges come under the ‘de minimis’ exception which excludes goods under $800 from being tariffed.
I know this has caused a lot of anxiety for people, so I hope to assure you guys that as of now you won’t be affected. I’m keeping an eye on the situation and will keep you informed if there are any changes.
That’s all the updates I have for now. Thank you guys for your patience while I’m sorting production out!
