we are now in the last week! thank you all so much for the amount of support so far!! im truly amazed by how many plushies are being adopted~! especially the gummy shark!! i will definitely be adding another color way (the pink one!) to the survey as a "pledge to unlock" for more lovelies added to the roster!
if anyone is thinking about backing and hasnt yet, you still have a few days! but it will be ending soon!
reminder that all four flavors and the first color of the shark are available to order! in case some may be confused about how i originally planned the stretch goals to be!
speaking of other pledge to unlock items that i have planned for the survey:\ - gummy shark pink version - blanket - mini wyrms of each flavor
other news, i ordered the other samples of the remaining colors and the shark literally the day before my manu went on a 3 week break for CNY! oopsies, bad timing on my part sorry! but they said they would get on it as soon as possible when they come back from break! hopefully with still enough time to show before the surveys go out to everyone!
im so impressed by the amount of people who want a gummy shark!!! although i am still hoping we reach the optimal funding goal for this plush (which would be 12.5k) i am adding them as a pledge level now to hopefully get more pledges just for them!
so far all five of these plushies will be made! more stretch goals will happen after the 12.5k is reached! there has been some back and forth with cancellations and new backers so we have been hovering in the same amount for a while, but i hope we can do it! please share with anyone you think would also love one of these plushies~!
all samples have been ordered and i will make a new update once each color sample gets completed!
As a few of you already caught, I added the gummy shark to the add ons! I got a little too attached to them and now I just HAVE to get them made somehow :p (I added them yesterday because I was going to anyway, but I didn't want to double ping in one day!) As I mentioned, I am hoping for around 15 orders of them to get them made as part of this whole batch! But if less order them, I will still get them made sooner or later, it just may mean the pledges that include them would just be sent out a bit after the majority of orders are sent out!
I am so open to trying my hardest to squeeze as much as I can into whatever funding the campaign ends with! This includes the other ideas I had that people liked! I will most likely be adding the rest of the ideas specifically to the survey for later unlocking! (Unless we get past the planned funding goal!)
Sorry for not having that option available from the start! It is now turned on so anyone can split their payments for their pledge! Thank you to those who reminded me of that in the last update comments X3
Also! Even though the potential stretch goal poll isn't closed, it seems there's an overwhelming majority on the Gummy Shark option! I was thinking more, and I may add it as an add on, and as long as around 15 people back for one, they will just get made! I may also just add the "unlock this item" goal in the survey! I may also add some of the other ideas as a "add to unlock" (As long as there is enough interest and enough support, I'll just get them made!) I attached a new poll to gauge how many would add the gummy shark to their pledge if I opened that one now ;3
We are very close to the second color way! It’s been a bit slow but I’m excited to keep trying for that push!
But in the end, if we do not get to the total 10k I hope for, like the last campaigns, I am ok with pitching my own money into the last amount! I am also going to be at anime Washington and gaming expo next weekend so either new backers from there or more funding overall I may be able to use! So for those who backed for 3 or 4 plush color ways, I still want to make sure all of them are made! My manufacturer has a low minimum order quantity, so although this funding goals are for an amount I am hoping to produce, I can manage making less of each color to be able to fund them all!
But if we do reach the next goals, here are some ideas I had for more future plushies!
