Hello everyone! I wanted to announce a big yet positive, necessary change to the project...:

After not only deliberating on this for a while, and after doing some calculations to make sure this is actually feasible: I will be changing the initial goal to unlock at $5,000 BUT once reached, BOTH Taohua AND Macaron will BOTH, SIMULTANEOUSLY, BE UNLOCKED AND AVAILABLE TOGETHER! Macaron will no longer be a stretch goal and will be the initial goal ALONGSIDE Taohua!

I think that ultimately, given the poll and with the help of Backerkit's algorithm telling me that a $5,000 goal is very feasible and possible to reach, this is the best outcome and decision I could make regarding the initial goal, so that once it is reached, the two plushies that forefronted this project will be available together. I think this decision will hopefully erase and avoid a lot of disappointment if we don't reach the stretch goal, help with momentum, and create more excitement while avoiding any confusion regarding which of the initial plushies are available since they'll both be available at the same time once $5,000 is reached.

Muffin the fennec fox and Tangerabbit will remain stretch goals but hopefully this all will even help us get those unlocked more easily too!

There will also be discount bundles available for anyone wanting both Taohua and Macaron together.

If you have any questions or anything about any of this change, feel free to email me ([email protected]) or comment here!

I thank you all always for your support and interest in this project and I am super excited to share the smaller ticket goodies as well very soon once those are finalized!

Hope you have a fantastic day everyone, and I hope this decision works best for you, I think it's the best overall decision to make as many people satisfied in the end as possible!

FRUIT FRIENDS PLUSHIE INFO ‼️

I'd like to finally share some pricing info & what small ticket goodies will be available for the Fruit Friends plushie collection as the launch date gets closer! 🍑🍒🍊

The intial goal will be $3k for Taohua (Taohua is the first, initial goal), with Macaron our cherry hyena unlocking at $6k, and Tangerabbit at $9k!

The main attraction, aka the main plushies, will be $45 (before shipping, which will depend on your location and charged later) each. They will ONLY BE $45 VIA BACKERKIT. Once they're up for preorder on my shop later on after the project closes, they will be $50. Honestly, they're pretty big at around 14-16" approximately, and involved designs which is why the pricing is a little bit more.

As always, Backerkit doesn't charge until the project ends which in this project's case is early April (the first Friday of April), so be sure to snag your early bird freebies (yes there's definitely early bird freebies in addition to returning backer gifts too~) when it opens, since everyone will be charged for their pledges at the same time in April, so it doesn't technically matter when you actually pledge!!

The paid smaller ticket goodies will include a Macaron charm, a Tangerabbit heart button, and a Taohua wooden pin~ in addition to a sticker set of all 3 of the characters featured~ Pricing hasn't been decided on yet for those, but will likely be like similar rewards from previous projects of mine.

Feel free to ask any further questions I didn't answer to my email at [email protected]!!

Thank you tremendously as always and forever for your support so far, everyone 🩷

Hello, the fulfillment company has now shipped 99% of the packages! There's still just a small amount left to pack and ship due to some technical issues Backerkit was having but it's all resolved now so those last ones should be shipped within the next few days.

Some of you have already started receiving your cat bags and stickers. If you received a shipping notification but have had issues with your tracking number, please contact me. All bags should have come with a matching sticker to each bag, the stickers will be located inside the box so please double check! If your bag arrived damaged at all, if you received the wrong color bag, or you did not receive your matching sticker, please CONTACT ME so we can arrange getting you a replacement!

As for the winners of the Backerkit bag giveaway, I randomly selected 2 numbers and they were Backers #98 & #123! I've already contacted them so the winners should expect their free bags sometime soon.

Once more, I just want to give a huge thank you to everyone who pledged for this campaign! I know it took a really long time to flesh out all the details for each cat bag but I hope you will see the work that went into each one and love them for a long time!

Extra inventory will be available to order once I'm able to take stock photos, arrange long term fulfillment, and set up my shop website so please be on the lookout for that if you'd like to add another cat to your collection. I will be attending The Great Lace in Chicago from March 20-22 so I will have a very limited number of cat bags there in person.

Again, any issues please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you! :)

Y'ALL are coming through for this lil lad!! 

AND....

I apologies for the lack of updates, a lot of health junk going on, but I deeply appreciate everything you've given us, I hope we can make this awesome for everyone! 
Depending on how we do on backerkit add-ons and such we can also afford a re-stock for Glorp which can help us so so much, so it means a ton to us along with some help with jelly stars so it means a super ton! Thank you so much again!! <3 

We were so close, yet so far.. 
We had a lot of pledge cancellations which is totally okay just pushed us back a bit! But we can do this!!!

I did some doodles and thought they might look a lil funky for a lil funky fellow!
(Final will be cleaned up! ofc!!)

I have a poll below with pictures! Which everyone can vote on, which would you choose to add to your collection of lil guys!

We are in the final weeks and I hope to reach the plush goal for this lil lad but we'll see!!

In total we are about 80%ISH percent between both goals!
