Dilo Prototype Remake is Here! + All Prototypes Have Begun!
The wait is FINALLY over! We opted to pay extra to have our Dilo prototype go through some heavy editing after we received the first one and WOW the results were definitely worth it!
We have smoothed the shoulders and hip joints, adjusted the leg shape, adjusted the back shape, made him a bit less wide, changed the weight pack to now distribute all the way from nose to tail, and most importantly, gave him a longer tail!
It took quite a while to get all the adjustments we needed made, but I'd say it was more than worth it!
All the remaining prototypes are now in production! We waited until the Dilo was done as we wanted to be able to reference his shapes in what we wanted to keep or change for the other designs!
He'll be coming with me to a few conventions the next 2 months, if you'd like to see him at the table, in person!
Thank you for your patience, and I can't wait to show you all the next designs!
I'm back after a much needed weekend away from the screen! This campaign was so much more than I ever hoped for, and I am still at a loss for words!
A few of you may know, I have been experiencing some health issues this year, which has made vending in person much more difficult. This absolutely, single handedly, has opened up new path, of not having to rely on travel as much, and being able to devote more time to actually MAKING things! I'm so excited about the possibilities ahead!
I just wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you! You have no idea how much it means to me!
What's next for the campaign?
We'll be sending out the surveys in about a week and a half! These will stay open for at least a few months, but we'd love to know your choices when you can get them in!
The survey will NOT include shipping fees at this time. We'll be charging that closer to when they're ready to ship to you all. Right now, with everything going on globally, shipping prices are sky high! We have our fingers crossed that the rates will come down by the time they're ready to go home!
We will also be opening a Pre-Order shop, but I strongly suggest backers use your campaign survey to add anything, as you should have a Backer Discount there!
I'll be receiving the first 2 prototypes within the month! Once they're in hand, I'll be getting photos for everyone, and checking over all the details! Once that prototype is approved, we'll be starting the prototypes for the other 14 designs! I expect these to take about 2 months with how many there are, and how complex they are.
Once those prototypes are complete, I will be sharing their finalized photos, and beginning production. With the current speeds of my manufacturers, I expect this to take 3-4 months until they are in hand.
Once they are here, I will be locking surveys, and charging cards for shipping and any add ons you may have selected after the campaign!
If you have any questions at all during the campaign, you are more than welcome to email me at: [email protected]
Thank you all so much again, and you'll hear from me again soon!
Prototype Updates + All In Tiers + Last Chance for Backer Pricing!
Discounts and All In Tiers!
We're down to the final 30-ish hours!! This will be the last chance to order the DinoSnores for the Backer Price! Once they go into the Pre Order shop, they'll be $90 each, and in hand they'll be bumping to $100!
I've had people asking, so we went ahead and added 3 All In reward tiers! One for all the Big DinoSnores, one for all the Beanie Dinos, and one for EVERYTHING! These will be the BIGGEST discounts we'll ever offer for these!
All In Beanie Dinos comes with a free Warmable Egg and is a total savings of $35! All In Big DinoSnores is a total savings of $300 off retail price! All In EVERYTHING comes with a free Warmable Egg and both the Early Bird and Returning Backer Stickers, and is a total savings of $355!
Prototype Updates!
We have two new Prototype Updates! We're just working on editing some sizing issues, so they have a little bit of Photoshop to show what they'll look like!
Beanie Melon Spino has NOT received any embroidery or applique yet, so he looks a bit nude!
We'll also be doing a bit less stuffing to get more of the classic Beanie floppiness!
And the new legs are looking great on the DinoSnore Dilo! We're working on getting them smaller, and having the leg pattern flow into the body pattern, like the Beanie's legs!
We're so excited that these two are almost done! And then we can start putting the rest of the designs into prototype production!
Backer Choice Beanies!
Be sure to cast your vote for the Backer Choice Beanie Dinos before Midnight! The Top 2 will be made, and it's been back and forth all day!
Third Backer Choice Poll- Beanie Dinos + Carno Funded!
Rover (But Make Him Big) has won the design poll! His art is now featured in our Goals section!
And I seriously can't believe it, but right now we are $30 away from unlocking our final tier- 2 Beanie Dino designs, chosen by you!
For this poll, I'm going to be including my idea for what would inspire the design, plus a few suggestions from you all in the Suggest a Species Form! The choices include 2 runners up from the last poll plus all the DinoSnore species that currently don't have a matching Beanie Dino!
The poll will be closing Midnight of the final day of funding! We'll be taking the top two winners to turn into Beanies!
It was close, but Carnotaurus has won the Backer Choice poll!
We're funding even faster than I thought, so it looks like we'll also be making 2 Backer Choice Beanie Dinos! I'll post that poll in the upcoming days!
For Carnotaurus, I wanted to do another design poll like our first designs! This time, it's between Rover (but BIG now) and Lava!
First up is Rover! This design matches our Beanie design, and is based on the Carnotaurus antagonist from the Dinosaur ride and movie, with some added blue for fun!
Next up is Lava! This design is based on volcanos and magma flows!
Let me know which you prefer in the poll below! I'll be back soon with the Beanie Dino poll!
Hello! I need help with my survey. I added an additional Beanie during the live campaign but now I would like to switch that and get an additional bigger Dino instead but it wont let me do that change on my own since it was during live campaign. Is that something I could get help with please?

Hi, I hope Iâm not being a bother. I was just curious if any prototype photos have been posted recently? I have seen the ones for the Dilophosaur, but havenât seen any others and am curious since October is quickly approaching đŦ
