First, I want to thank you all for supporting this project! I really appreciate all of you for helping these plushies come to life :) <3
Now that the campaign has ended, let's talk about what happens next:
Cards will be charged Over the next 48 hours, Your card on file will be charged for your pledge. Please make sure that your card information is correct. Cards that fail will be retried again for a two week period. If your payment method fails, please update your information ASAP.
Surveys will go out in about 2 weeks Once cards are charged and all backers are confirmed, surveys will be sent out. In your surveys, you will be able to choose the plushies styles you want and add any additional items to your pledge. Backers who chose pay over time will not receive a survey until full payment is met.
I will be keeping the surveys open until the pre-order store closes, so that we can see if any additional plushies styles unlock.
Shipping will be charged closer to fulfillment time, instead of when surveys go out. You will be charged separately several months from now. So I just wanted to give everyone a heads up for that, I will remind everyone again when we get closer to that date. ALSO!! Any extra items that you add to your pledge through the surveys will be charged later, not immediately!
Plush Outfits I just want to make sure that everyone is aware that the outfits are not 100% interchangeable!! On the campaign page under 'outfit details,' I listed the outfits that would fit each plush, but if you are still not sure, feel free to contact me!
What happens to the plushies that weren't unlocked? For the plushies that weren't unlocked, they will be available as add-ons in your surveys. The remaining plushies need 25 orders to be manufactured. We can reach this goal through survey add-ons and also through the pre-order store for those who missed the campaign. Some of the plushies already have a head start from campaign add-ons! So for instance, Serena only needs 15 more orders from either the surveys or the pre-order store to be manufactured. And Nessie has already been funded!
If the goals aren't met, then the plushies will be removed entirely. If you already paid for one of the plushies as an add-on during the campaign, you will be refunded.
Pre-order store There will be a pre-order store through Backerkit for all of the campaign items. The plushies that weren't unlocked will be available as post-campaign stretch goals. Please only use the pre-order store if you did not back the campaign, as you will be charged for shipping twice! Any extra items you would like are available through your surveys! I will announce when the store is opened.
Expected Ship Date + Other Info Right now, I am setting the expected ship date for the plushies in December. There is a chance that they will arrive to me sooner because the bulk order will not be as large as previous plushie lines we have done. As time goes on, I will know more about expected ship date and will keep you all updated as I know more.
If you backed for just a fidget toy, they will likely done much sooner as the production process isn't as complex.
Once I receive the funds from the campaign and the surveys are filled out (minus the pay later backers), I will place the plushie order with my manufacturer. I will send more updates about this later.

There is only one week left to back the campaign! I want everyone to have an opportunity to get the plushie they want, so all of the locked plushies are available as add-ons! You can add any of them to your pledge by using the 'add-on' section.We will need 25 of each to be ordered in order for them to made, but this goal does not have to be reached during the campaign. They will also be available in the pre-order store as post-campaign stretch goals, but the price will be increased!
If you only want a locked plushie, you are able to back the $1 tier and add your desired plush in the add-on section.
The locked plushies are only available as add-ons and cannot be selected as a survey option unless their funding goals are reached. So please make sure to adjust your pledge levels accordingly.
Like all of my plush collections, these will be a limited run. The outfits are Backerkit exclusives and only the popular unlocked plush styles will be available on my website later.
I have also received a lot of messages asking about the Fruity Feline mystery keychains. I decided to add a limited number of them as add-ons at the discounted pre-order price! These are currently not available for purchase anywhere else! When they return to my website in July, they will be $5 more.

Our next goal was originally just Benedict Bigfoot, but now once we reach our next goal Heidi will be unlocked too! These two are twins, so its only fair that they will be unlocked together!

These two are some of my favorites in the whole collection, so I am excited that we are heading towards unlocking them! They are featured in many of the add-ons as well :)

Thanks everyone for your support!
It has been brought to my attention that many people were feeling discouraged by the goals and the outfits having to be unlocked. So I changed them! I lowered all of the goals and removed the outfits from the stretch goals.
All outfits are unlocked and available as add-ons!
However, since I lowered the goals, the outfits will be a Backerkit exclusive item, so I will only get the amount that is ordered (for now). If they end up being popular, then I will order extras for my website. So if you are interested in any of the outfits, make sure to add them on to your pledge!
As for the stretch goals, I lowered them to make them more achievable so that we can hopefully unlock all of the designs. The same goes for the plushies, since there are so many of them, I will only get extras of the popular styles to sell on my website post-campaign.
We now have FIVE GOALS UNLOCKED! Francine, Ollie, Patty, Darlene, and Michael are funded. Back now to help us reach even more goals!
Our next goal is now ARNOLD THE DRAGON! We are pretty close to unlocking him already!
Thank you for your support so far! We have unlocked two plushie goals and two outfits. We are super close to unlocking Patty the frog! I have made it so you can add an outfit and plush of your choice to your pledge as well since I know a lot of people were wanting that!
There are also 14 early bird bundles available still! I will be taking them out of stock at the end of the day, so if you are interested in backing for a plushie, an outfit, and a pin be sure to pledge asap!
I took pictures of some plushies in different outfits! Let me know if there are certain plush-outfit combos you want to see and I can put them in a future update :)

Let's try to get Patty the Frog by the end of tomorrow! We are super close and any support is appreciated! Even if the plushie you want isn't unlocked yet, every pledge gets us closer to our goals :)
