Project Update: Plush Arrived! Fulfillment Begins >:)
Hey all!
The plush were all delivered to me on Friday morning, which is when I sent out the 48-hour address lock warning! Fulfillment will begin on Sunday, August 16th >:3
Talvi and I have been busy sorting, labeling, and starting to grade. So far, there aren't any major issues and they all appear to be present and accounted for, yippee!!!
The only thing we've noticed is that Taffy's tail is understuffed/not stuffed at all on the plush we've graded so far, so I feel that it's safe to say their whole batch is like this. It's not a huge deal, but if you think it'll bother you, let me know and we can swap your Taffy out for another plush. Lune's is properly stuffed, though!
EDIT— After checking all the Taffy’s, we’ve confirmed that all of them have a non-stuffed tail. Here’s a comparison photo with the prototype on the left and the bulk production on the right.
Plush Care Information
I'll get proper care cards printed for future plush, but here's a general rundown of what to expect for your Patchkins' arrival!
- Your Patchkin is fresh out of the hospital with their new limbs, so they might have a bit of a smell on them. While we can't recommend a full washing machine soak, a gentle hand wash with cold water, mild soap (like baby shampoo), and a tumble-dry on no heat or air dry should help with that!
- Your Patchkin has been through a long journey, so they might look a little squished right out of the package. Give them a massage & plenty of hugs to help them settle properly in no time!
- Your Patchkin's embroidery may still have bits of stray plastic leftover from their surgery. The doctors did their best to clean them up, but if you notice any plastic on your plush, it's safe to help them pick off so they won't feel as itchy!
Shipping Schedule
Here is my planned shipping schedule order, which I will periodically update with checkmarks when the batches are officially sent:
Non-Plush ✅ Shipped!
Non-U.S. Plush ✅ Shipped! (pending acceptance scans)
1 Plush ✅ Shipped!
2 Plush ✅ Shipping Wednesday, August 19th
3 Plush
4 Plush ✅ Shipping Friday, August 21st
5 Plush
6 Plush
7 Plush
IMPORTANT NOTE:
As a head's up, backers receiving only 1 plush is the largest group. All above labels will be printed per group and tracking numbers will probably be sent before your package has actually been shipped, because it makes it easier for me to keep track of on the backend. This will likely trigger Backerkit to mark the campaign as fulfilled, since it automatically does it at 50% fulfillment. Until I have published an update confirming majority fulfillment, please assume we are still packing orders and don't worry!
As always, if you have any questions or need my assistance, please email me at [email protected]. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on Backerkit updates, though I will check for them periodically.
