making my goobers a reality - weighted plushies of my version of gummy "wyrms"! matching acrylic pins will be unlocked alongside their plush color counterpart!
Welcome to the next installment of silly little creatures- GUMMY WYRMS!! the pun has always been a fascinating little idea, and I wanted to bring my own version of them! These wyrmie babies are designed to be huggable shaped, as I want most of my plush designs to be- ultimate cuddle shapes! with the arms and legs splayed out, you can hug around them without the legs in the way or flop them over your arm with their little arms dangling over! They are going to be weighted as well for satisfying holding and cuddling feels!
I wanted to keep their designs with soft colors rather than the highly saturated ones of regular gummy worms (dont worry, these wyrms have less artificial colors than other worm brands :P)
the weighted beans inside them are microwave safe, if you prefer your gummies warm.
the initial goals will be 24 inches long, but with perhaps a future stretch goals of mini 12 inch versions of them!
although these stretch goals are set up with a specific funding cost, I am passionate about making these guys real and available for my convention antics- so at least three of the four base colors will be unlocked minimum if we can't reach stretches by the end of the campaign!
The initial goal is to unlock the first colorway and its matching acrylic pin! The current flavors of wyrm that are available into the stretch goals are: Strawberry Lemonade, Blue Raspberry Strawberry, Grape Blue Raspberry and Green Apple Orange! If all goals are unlocked, it will be up to backers to decide what the next goals should be! ideas include: more flavors, mini version of the four colors or maybe even JUMBOS??? just ideas! Plush Details: 24 inches long, weighted beans, soft toe beans, floppy body, and flappy wings!
more flavors to unlock! flavors in stretch goals include: Blue Raspberry Strawberry, Grape Blue Raspberry and Green Apple Orange! Currently they will all be available by the end! I am completely ok with filling in the last bit for funding due to the amount of people interested in all four colors to collect! As well as the gummy shark! New stretch goals will be at 15k and beyond!
gummy shark! available now as an add on due to reaching the minimum amount of people backing for them!
other merch items of these Wyrms I've made over my time selling my products! more types of items may be able to be added if this campaign gets popular enough for me to feel like more merch types would sell!
due to the tariff situation being wacky still, shipping estimates for outside the US are up in the air. I will update you guys if there are any questions about the current price estimate! but for now, I won't add international shipping estimates until I know more about them myself!
Due to how heavy these wyrms are weighted, shipping rates may be higher as I make better estimates
USA shipping estimates: 1 plush $13 2 plush $15 3-4 plush $20 (i will add more estimates if people pledge for more than 4 plushies) These estimates also include the matching pin, but don't include any extra add-ons.
Current Timeline estimates: since the shape sample has been completed before the campaign, production should start as soon as the campaign ends, hopefully! depending on how many backers there will be, I may be able to make the order before surveys all get finished.
Campaign ends: February 25th {fund collection time} surveys go out: sometime in March production time: March - April Shipping to me: April or May fulfillment: May
note: these are just time estimates based on previous timelines, but these dates are not guaranteed! I will keep everyone updated as production continues!
Hiya! My name is Skye! i am currently a student of digital art and game design with a hobby for vending at conventions! im just starting my small business journey, and its started rough, but i have confidence in the future if i keep working hard at it!
i usually make my own plushies by hand (so getting a manufacturer is a new experience!) and they've been my pride and joy of my vending experiences, i love when people are so happy to receive a friend i handmade them! i still make plushies very often, but mostly just crochet! they take a lot of time and effort but it is very rewarding!
i have a passion for creature designing and found i love modeling my designs in zbrush, though they are much different from the art i tend to post, since it is usually easier to make my cutesy stuff! my art style has a wide range from realistic to chibi!
