Surveys are going to remain open for a little while longer, I do not have a time specifically of when they will be locked but I will give a warning with plenty of time. I have so much on my plate right now with life stuff happening and business stuff as well lol, I haven't reached out to my backerkit team yet to assist and help me figure out the "pay for shipping later" stuff, but I will be doing that today!!

At this time, I do not think that the special edition raptors are going to be unlocked. If you added them on or put a preorder on them through the preorder shop, you will NOT be charged for them if they are not unlocked.

CPC testing was not able to start until the final sample (Raia) was finished, which was about 2 weeks ago, because my manu needed to send all of the samples together to their partner company that does the testing. As soon as it is finished and production begins, I will make a quick update to keep you in the loop on timeframes.

For those that qualify for the freebie kitsune plushies, emails will be sent out at a later time to ask which kitsune plushie those backers want as their freebie. I was not able to add them to surveys.

I am changing manufacturers. My manu that has done all of my Snuggle Dreamers plushies has been increasing their costs to an unheard of rate and they are very poor on timing and taking a very long time to complete production and other stuff, so when Snuggle Dreamers PART 3 plushies are finished, I will no longer be working with this manu.

I have tested 5 different new manufacturers, all of which are making the sample sample: Alaric the Dire Wolf. So far, 2 of the manus I began with have struck out and couldn't make the sample correctly. 2 of the remaining manus are doing a fantastic job, but one of those 2 manus is taking a long time on sample revisions and it seems like designer working on my sample is like the best in the industry but is kind of a jerk to work with and has been commissioned to do lots of samples for their company because of how good he is lol.

All of the manufacturers I am testing are a lot more affordable and I will be judging the samples not just on cost, but how well I work with their reps, how attentive and trustworthy they are, and most importantly - the quality.

Here's some photos of sample progress with the 3 manus I am working with. None of these samples are final, they are all unfinished.

Manu 1 (best one and best price, but this is the one with the mean designer and takes a long time)

Manu 2 (great to work with, cost more than 1st manu)

Manu 3 (not liking it as much, more expensive than 1st manu, let's see how the end turns out)

Follow the campaign pre-launch page to get all the updates related to this campaign as they come in.

I had planned to launch the campaign in November, but due to needing to change manus, it might be February of 2027 when it launches.

That's all for now! Thank you everyone!
