Hello everyone! I'm Sauren, you can also just call me Ren. I'm a dinosaur fanatic and have been considering making plushies for a long while, and I finally decided to take the plunge. In early 2026 I began designing my plushies, doing lots of research on plushie construction and manufacturing. After a few trips back to the drawing board, I landed on floppy, lightly weighted plushies as my first plushie line. And they had to be prehistoric critters, because obviously.
I wanted to start with some plushies for species I don't often see in this medium, such as Lystrosaurus and Inostrancevia. If the backerkit is successful, I will make more species for future campaigns down the line, but I don't want to overwhelm myself since this is my first plushie campaign, so I'm capping it at seven designs.
I have some experience with crowdfunding campaigns, though I have only ever made hard enamel pins. I have successfully fulfilled all of my campaigns and preorder runs so far, so I'm familiar enough with the manufacturing process that I am comfortable stepping up to plushies. This is also my first time on Backerkit, because I just don't vibe with Kickstarter anymore. NO AI was used at any point in my production process.
SPECS:
* Plushies will be between 23 - 25 inches long from nose to tail tip. * Plushies will be between 1 - 2.5 pounds in weight, still finalizing what I want the final weight to be. They will be lightly weighted.

Prue and Gus sample pictures!
Hello everyone! Here’s the moment you’ve been waiting for: sample photos!
Things to keep in mind: these are first drafts and will be changed! I’m going to experiment with the stuffing and how much of the stuffing is in each section of the plushie so we can find a proper level of floppiness. So these are more “rigid” than the finals are intended to be. So far, I am still very happy with what I see and hope you are too.
Also, I think I’m going to change Gus’ eyebrow color to match his back color, I like it more that way :)
Hello everyone! I wanted to share some more work on the designs so far, plus a new addition to the line:
First up, Arlo and Lucky now have colors!
And, a new friend! Atlas the Alio!
Thank you so much for following the campaign, your support is greatly appreciated. I hope to have prototypes of Gus Gorgon and Prue Para in the next few weeks to share with you!
