We finally have the first samples for Byte and Timmy!!! Here are my edits so far! I have a few more notes to make, but I have to share these right now because I love them!!!!
PREORDER SHOP INFO:
Since these two are already so close to what the final product will look like, I've decided that the preorder shop will open August 25th! I'll be keeping it open for one month ♡
More info will be coming soon! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
Here are all of the sample pics without edits:
Timmy's colors are super cute, but I want the red a little more saturated. He also needs a proper propeller... I'm hoping I can make it functional, but I'm willing to compromise as long as it's cute! The head needs a 3d eyebrow ridge too. I love him though, ahh!!! 🤩
Byte's missing all of their pink flair! They look AMAZING though omg.... 🥺
I'm interested in a different fabric for the tummy, but this is a good start. It just doesn't seem durable, and I want a different color.
I also wanted to go with embroidered teeth for both of them, but the 3d teeth are sooo cute. Please let me know if you have opinions!
Thank you all so much for your patience with us as we've navigated this difficult family situation. Your support with our project and your understanding with us is truly so appreciated.
Now to the updates! We're almost finished building our preorder shop and surveys for backers. We recently got the funding from BackerKit moved so that we can finally order the last two samples! Once we have those prototypes where we like them (finalized, or at least very nearly finalized lol), we will open preorders. I personally wouldn't want to preorder something without seeing it completed, so that's one of the reasons it's taken us a little while to get our parasaurs in a row. 🦆
We will have updates for Confetti, Pete, Byte, and the T-Rex very soon!
Speaking of the T-Rex.. we still need a name! We have a poll with some suggestions if you'd like to vote. We're also open to more name suggestions if you have any. :3
I will send out more production updates ASAP. Thank you all again!
Thank you for all of the support we've received on our first ever crowdfunding campaign!! This has been such a wonderful experience, and we've learned so much along the way. We hope to apply the things we've learned to a Series 2 in the future!
We will have more information regarding surveys very soon!
Pete the pizza pteranodon sample pics are finally here!!
Pete's face!!!
our beautiful boy's profile
his lil butt :-)
He's so perfect!! I only had to note some minor corrections. His head crest shape, wing size, and embroidery placement. The embroidery and printed fabric will be produced when the base plush shape is approved! Colors are a bit funky right now, but everything will be corrected before we approve the final sample. ♡
I can't thank you guys enough for the support we've received on this project already! In the first week we unlocked four stretch goals!! I went ahead and ordered samples of Pete and Confetti last week, I'm not sure if we will have updates on those before the campaign is over, but I will post them ASAP.
We're currently only $1.1k away from unlocking our spinosaurus plush! I'm so happy everyone loves these goofy lil dino dudes.
Our spinosaurus is arcade game themed. I'm hopeful that we can produce these plushies with a sparkly vinyl square on their tummy, like a screen, similar to the Tubbies.
They also still need a name! I've received a lot of suggestions, so I'll list what we already have. Please leave a comment if you have any ideas! I'll start the poll for their name tomorrow.

Also, sorry for my lack of updates here! I've been keeping up with all of the other social media, but somehow neglected posting actual updates here lol!
