Good news! Despite the delays needed for prototyping, my manufacturer has just finished all the Cuddle Friends plush toys, YAY!!! They are currently going through final quality control checks before they make their journey to Rio and me! We suspect the shipment to arrive sometime in November or so. Once they arrive, we will do our own quality checking before we begin fulfilling all orders. Are you all excited?!
Here are some photos that the manufactuer sent to me, ahhhhhh!!
Surveys Closing on September 31st
Surveys will close on September 31st! This is much later than I would prefer but due to my typo in previous campaigns, I still wanted to honor the mistake deadline date. Shipping charges and additional add-ons will be charged to your cards on this date as well, so please make sure finances are arranged so we do not have to run into any delays.
If you would like to be charged NOW, please message me at [email protected] !
There was a deadline error in the last update! In previous updates, I stated that the survey deadline was September 10th. That was an error on my part since I intended it to be August 10th.
However, I donât want to suddenly spring a deadline on you all so the deadline for surveys will remain September 10th!
If you got an email about surveys being closed via Backerkit, please disregard it. I can reopen your survey easily on Monday. Donât worry, you will NOT be charged on Monday!
My apologies for that, everyone!
If you feel like your survey is all finished and you want to be charged for shipping, just send me a message at [email protected] !
Hi, all! If you haven't been charged yet for shipping (and/or additional add-ons), you will be charged this monday on August 10th! Make sure your payment method is up to date before the deadline! :)
Also note that surveys and preorder store will ALSO close on August 10th! Please make your final selections before the deadline.
All items are in production now, yay!
Photos of All the Plush!
Since we have so many Cuddle Friends designs, I decided to have them all accessible on Drop Box! You can access the Drop Box in the secure link below.
Here is a small sample of the photos that you can find the Drop Box, yay!

Logo!
I designed the logo myself, yay! What do you think? I don't do logo design much so I had a lot of fun! I am no means a graphic designer but it is something I want to continue trying to do.
Got Questions?
Backerkit doesn't notify me when I get comments made here (I hope that they can fix this in the future) so if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] and I will be happy to assist you.
Hi, all! I got some photos, yay! I am so happy to have all the prototypes in hand so we can take some photos! As you can see, we were able to unlock so many designs thanks to you all! I also love seeing the Jumbo Friends with their Cuddle Friend versions, ahhh!!
Fairy Moth!
We got some individual photos of Fairy Moth and ahhh!! I am in love with this sweet! I really want to make more variants of the Fox Moth Fairies hmm.. which designs would you lik to see??
"I want to add adjust my survey but my survey is locked!"
Feel free to message me at [email protected] with your Backerkit email and I will be happy to make any adjustments to your survey! This includes adding on additional items!
I decided to extend the survey deadline due to the final prototype needing longer to approve. The new survey deadline is September 10th!
Okapi Photos!
I received the Okapi prototype and it is seriously so much cuter in person! I love the floppy limbs so much and their weighted body is so comforting to hug. Rio and I decided to do a mini photoshoot to show you all how adorable they are! What do you think?
Flying Fox Bat Photos!
I couldn't help but take our Flying Fox Bat Cuddle Friend along for the fun too! I really love the posable wings since it allows them to be so expressive with them.
Additional photos of the entire group will be posted this week, as well as fun individual photos as well (especially of the pretty Moth Fox)!!
Thank you all so much again! As a reminder, the best way to get ahold of me for any questions is via email at[email protected]
