First of all I want to thank you so much for your patience if you are one of the few backers who has not yet received your order! While the majority of pledges have been fulfilled, a few have not due to stock issues with wooden pins and Remi stickers as well as one bandana design.
I was able to restock on the stickers and bandanas, but unfortunately the price for the pins has shifted so dramatically (I am assuming due to tariffs) that I can not realistically put in another order.
To keep you guys from waiting any longer I have decided to substitute the Remi Wooden Pin with a small keychain plush (either Honey or Zipper!)
If you have not received your order and a pin is included in your pledge, you can email me at [email protected]to let me know which keychain plush you’d like as a replacement! If you’d like a refund instead I will be happy to process that for you as well. Otherwise you’ll receive a random plush replacement- either Honey or Zipper.
If you have any questions or concerns please send them my way! I will be getting this project squared away over the coming weeks. My new customer service email for this project is…
With that I’d like to thank you all again for your patience and support. The scope of this project was so broad- definitely a bit overambitious for my first time- so I have certainly stumbled along the way. That being said I take full responsibility for any lapses in communication on my end. Let’s finish strong!!
Happy June, lovely people! I am so excited to announce that Honey the Hummingbird Lynx is now available for preorder ✨💚 for a limited time, she will ship to you for free within the US <3 (if you message me with your backerkit order number and big cartel order number I will add her to your backerkit package!)
I’ve also received the bulk plush order- hooray! SO MANY BOXES! 😅 I need to sort and grade all these friends and I’m still waiting for the coloring book order to come in, so it will still be a few weeks before I start shipping orders out.
In the meantime, leftover preorders and bandana accessories are available via bigcartel as well.
I’m so excited for you all to get your Pawdubon Pals! Thank you all so much for making this project a reality. It’s really surpassed my wildest dreams and I’m excited to work on something new soon ;)
Hi friends!! I’ve got great news- all 900 Pawdubon Plush are complete! 🐾✨
Bulk plush are expected to arrive by June 1, so you all can look forward to meeting your new plush pals this July! (I will need to grade and sort plush before I can pack orders- and packing does take quite some time 😅)
I want to apologize for the lack of updates. The current tariff drama between the US and China has been a huge worry for me since my plush manufacturing partners are based in Shanghai but luckily these lovely people finished the order in time to avoid the astronomical increase. (Phew!)
I’m still hoping things will resolve, of course- I have three samples complete for a future campaign that I’d like to run but I’m going to have to delay that project for the time being.
On a more exciting note…
Surprise!!! Zipper brought a friend to the party!!! 🥳 I’ve decided to make Honey the Hummingbird Lynx a reality! She will be arriving with the rest of her Pawdubon Pals, so preorders will begin VERY SOON!! keep an eye out ❤️
100 MOLLY PLUSH!!!! WOWIE
THANK YOU ALL so much for making this project a reality! I can’t wait for you to get your paws on these plush 💕🐾
I first of all want to acknowledge that updates have been slowing down- that is because we’ve moved into the production phase! This will upwards of a month or so, with shipping effectively doubling that time. Instead of biweekly updates during this stage, I’ll update you guys as I have things to share 😅
Pip the Pigeon Kitty is complete!
while the photos I get from my many don’t always look the cutest for sharing (you also can’t see the green portion of Pip’s neck/chest from these angles), I’m STOKED with how this friend turned out!!! Nailing the colors was a bit of a challenge so I’m glad we persisted.
I’m also getting sticker and pin inventory sorted so that fulfillment can be as smooth and speedy as possible once the bulk plush arrive!
It’s so fun to watch things come together. Thank you guys for making it possible!! 💖
I’m here with an early update for you! First off, I want to show off the final sample for Zipper’s keychain plush. They ended up SOO CUTE!
it was a hard decision to go with screen printing but patterning with all the markings was giving the plush a lot of issues with shape. I think it looks super nice, especially with the facial features and paw pads embroidered on!
Pip still needs some important edits, such as the eye and muzzle sizing + some color mix ups, but they are nearly done as well! Pip and Bailey are the last two plush we need to perfect, and based on progress we should be finalizing them in the next week or so!
Don’t forget- backer surveys will lock in less than 48 hours! (3/1)
(since Bailey and Pip are still unfinished, if you’d like to change your plush choices after their samples are complete you will be able to do so!)
Thank you all so much for sticking with me. I’m beyond excited for you all to get your plush!!! aaand I’m beyond excited for another project I’m putting together, too ;) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🐴
