Hi everybun! With the project officially launching TOMORROW 🎉 I wanted to go over some of the details regarding the project! If you have any questions not addressed in this post, definitely feel free to comment on this post or email me ([email protected])!
The project will feature a variety of Soft Serve themed goodies such as: the 14" plushie, wooden pin, plush orb charm, acrylic keychain, large vinyl sticker, heart button, and a standard sized signed print!
Included in the project as add-ons only (for those who were eyeing these plushies and may want to consolidate the plushies they want) will be Swirly the pup plushie, Hyacinth the lamb plushie, and both chibi and jumbo Valentine plushies. These 4 will be priced the same as they are on my online shop, and are added only as add-ons for consolidation purposes, plus they fit the theme! These 4 will be available in very limited quantities.
Incentive freebie rewards for returning backers and early bird backers will be available as well for this campaign.
The ~ main attraction ~ aka the 14" Soft Serve plushie will be priced at $44 + shipping. Shipping is charged separately after the project is over based on your location and will not be charged until closer to when the items are due to arrive to me after being made up. Please also note that once she's up for preorder on my main online shop, she will go up to $48 + shipping, so make sure to back for her here on Backerkit if you'd like her a bit discounted.
The 14" inch size does NOT include her ears, so including her ears she's a bit closer to 16-18" but her main body and head is 14" in size. Her dress is removable and can be swapped with BaB clothing if you want! Her features are embroidered and she'll have a bit of pink blush airbrushed on her cheeks as well.
For orders $150+ payment installment plans through Backerkit are available!
The total final goal for this project is $3,500 and the duration of the project is 2 weeks as this is a more mini campaign with no stretch goals. If we raise the $3,500 in 2 weeks before the deadline, you will be charged right when the project is officially over and closed up. You do NOT get charged immediately upfront for your pledge the moment you pledge, so you can secure your pledge beforehand and pay once the project's actually ended! You can also add extras to your order after it's over later on as well, but only those who backed the project can do so (pledge tier does not matter for this).
Pledge tier prices do NOT including shipping which will be charged SEPARATELY and later, depending on your location and closer to when I'm due to ship everything out. Please plan accordingly!
If you have any other questions that I did not address in this novel of a post (sorry I just want to be thorough 😭) please feel free to comment or send me an email ([email protected]).
I hope you're all as excited as I am but without the mixed in worry and nervousness haha 😭 I can't wait!! See y'all tomorrow at 2pm EST! 🥹💜🎀🍦
Thanks To Ana we've been able to hit and go beyond our goal of £60!!
We wouldn't have been able to reach this goal without the help of Vincent Zawmek,Em-J Rabbitwolf and Ana so a massive thank you to them!!
We still have one month to go until we can get these into production so keep up the hype and there could even be a possibility of some mlp royal chibi keyrings in the future👀
If you'd like to keep supporting me as an artist I have a ko-fi with an art shop where I sell stickers,kandi,art prints and moreeee!! https://ko-fi.com/smashedskullsart

Under a week, we have already unlocked so many cool things, thanks to you!
🏳️🌈 Bandana Accessories
The next stretch goal will unlock Bandana Accessories! For $5-7 each, you can accessorize your Pocket Friend if you want to show off more than one identity!
Here is a preview of 7 out of the 12 bandanas designs that will be made. We will also include MLM, Gender Queer, AroAce, PolyAm, and Disability designs! We want to offer more stretch goals to offer more designs as well, yay!
We have produced two bandanas before for Pocket Friends, which you can see below!
🏳️🌈 Sponsor Tiers?
A few backers reached out to us about the possibility of sponsoring plush or bandana designs for certain identities. We are currently crunching numbers with our manufacturer but we think it is a great idea! With manufacturing goods, artists need to meet a certain minimum order quantity (MOQ) in order to get something produced. Plush toys require a high MOQ for us, for example, but since we have such a great relationship with our manufacturer, they will allow us to offer much lower a MOQ (10-25 units) for a few designs.
What do you think? Let us know!

Don't see the flag you voted for? Never fear! Another stretch goal is in the works to get more plush made with even more identities!!
A huge thank to our mentors over at GayBreakfast for being incredible and helping us with these designs! We are so grateful for their wisdom! Gaybreakfast is known for thir amazing inclusive enamel pins! Also.. they did our guest pins!!!!
The next plush toy designs will be MLM, Gender Queer, AroAce, Polyamorous, and Disability Pride!
🏳️🌈 Bandanas
I am currently working on the designs for the next goal.. bandanas! They will be representing each of the unlocked designs. With each unlocked plush design, we will make a matching bandana design as well!
