I am so happy to let you all know that the Dumpster Darlings are on their way to me, and I am locking pledges! Which means that you have 48 hours to change anything on your order, such as addresses or which plushied you would prefer.
On Thursday, I will be charging cards. I wanted to let everyone know beforehand so you are aware that the shipping (+ any add ons you added) will now be charged to your cards on file.
I am SO excited to send your darlings to you! They will be arriving to me in North Carolina at the end of august-early September. Once they arrive, we carefully quality check and tag each one before shipping them out. You can expect to see tracking information + updates in late September/ early October!
Here's a picture sent to me from my manufacturer of the precious Robby the raccoon getting ready to be packed up!
Its robby!
I hope you all are having such an amazing summer, but be ready for our Dumpster Darling fall!
(Psst! Are you going to New York Comic Con? I will be debuting my dumpster darling booth display there!)

Guys!! Its the last hours of the campaign, and I am so absolutely thankful for all of you who have made this possible!
We have unlocked 5 Dumpster Darlings and one Mini Plushie Keychain! Thats insane! I am so so excited about bringing these babies to life with you all over the next few months.
Now, we may not be reaching Edgar, which is a little heartbreaking, but! that does not mean that he is not being made! I will be listing him for preorder (along with any locked mini plushie keychain design) on my website alpacasews.com. Backers of the campaign will get exclusive discounts and free shipping for these designs!
The sample for Edgar is officially finished, and is heading to me! But, in the mean time, here is a photo of him from my manu!
Once again, thank you all SO MUCH! for all of the support for Dumpster Darlings! This is just the beginning of our journey with these adorable babies, and I cant wait to see what comes next!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]!
Edgar!
The sample for our mini plush version of Bernard is HERE! He sits at 4 inches tall and fits perfectly in my palm!
Since we are less than $300 before he is unlocked, I have added his add on! You can now choose to add a mini plush keychain of Bernard to your pledge through the add on page.
