so exciting! two iterations of the crocodile have been done! he looks so silly! fixes will happen, and my manufacturer says they will be making the crocodile longer than 14 inches, though i didn't get an update if the price per plush will change so hopefully i will be able to keep the current price for them even though they will be larger than expected!

the second sample iteration of the dog has also been sent and its nearly perfect! shes so close to being finished and ready for me to inspect! i hope they will be in my hands before the campaign launch so i can get lovely photos of them to put on the campaign page!

though i was informed they could not make the lumpies of the cuts on the bread, as it would be too hard to manufacture that way, but i think they still look lovely as is!

update on the fear of tariffs hitting:
so as many of you might know, pretty much everything is produced from China, plushies to pins to keychains etc. and hearing the update of the tariffs just for China are going up to 104% is really distressing. but i want to let you all know, i hope i wont have to increase the price of each plush and i will try my absolute best to figure out a different way to mitigate these tariffs by other means! i might just change the stretch goals to be further out in funding so i don't have a too unrealistic fund for each plush!
i hope and pray these tariffs will be stopped before it's too late. if you live in the US and would like to help out, please contact your representatives and state officials about trying hard to stop what is happening and express your grievances, as it is your right to protest against unfair policies! these tariffs only hurt the little people and i hope we can all come together to get through this!
as i do say this though, my manufacturer uses DDP services that pay for the fees or tariffs in the shipping process, but 104% increase is insane, so i do not expect them to cover the entire cost of that change. 

thank you all for your support and love!
