I just wanted to pop in with a quick update. Our manufacturer has been working on the mass production, and they informed me that the snap buttons that were on our accessories were breaking far too frequently. So, I had to figure out an alternative and decided to go with ribbon.
I realize this may not be to everyone's liking, but it is the best course of action. If we continue with snap buttons, I will likely end up with more customer service emails, refunding and sending out replacements, and it could also lead to more negative reviews.
Many alternatives, such as regular buttons, will make it to where the doll will not pass certain tests I need it to. Velcro was an option, but many folks don't like it, and it has a tendency to wear down as well. We cannot do elastic inside these accessories, because the fabric is not stretchy, and it would ruin the overall shape of the accessory.
If you are unhappy with this change, please feel free to email me at [email protected] and I can refund you.
If you'd still like to receive your doll, I AM offering vouchers for a neck accessory I plan to release with series 2. This neck accessory will have elastic inside, so it will be stretchy! (Examples of the accessory below. These are for EXAMPLE PURPOSES. This is not the actual accessory, and I did not design these plushies).

To end on a good note, here is Bella wearing one of Charmsey Jr.'s newborn dresses!

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I appreciate everyone's understanding on this matter!
Some of you were expressing interest in knowing what the final count was for the bulk order of each doll, so I'm here to deliver!
We based the decision on each characters popularity/sales. Dotty definitely came out on top in that regard haha.
Catsie: 200 pcs Bella: 200 pcs Gertie: 200 pcs London: 200 pcs Millie: 200 pcs Paris (shaved): 250 pcs (Series 2, we'll see if we can do a small run of unshaved ears for Paris!!) Batty: 200 pcs Lupin: 375 pcs Madame: 200 pcs Una: 150 pcs Nessie: 350 pcs Dotty: 475 pcs Remi: 350pcs
All extra dolls will be available on tinyteeth.shop later this year! I will let everyone know in advance the date and time that they'll be available!
I must thank you all again for the overwhelming support. This would NOT be possible without you guys, and I'm just overwhelmed and happy and I really cannot wait to see what happens for us with Series 2!!
....
In other news, I'll be doing hosting a small pre-order opportunity for Cosmic Kittens on tinyteeth.shop soon! I'm just trying to get the prototype finalized.
After the prototype is complete, we can start looking at these other colorways. Black won the poll to be the second one created, but I'm pretty excited for the orange and tuxedo myself!!

The paw beans look so perfect and squishy. I cannot wait to see this floppy baby in person! If this project interests you, keep an eye out for further updates!
It's a bit difficult to update, since we're kind of in limbo at the moment. I did finally, after a bunch of roadblocks, manage to get the manufacturer paid for bulk manufacturing, and they will be starting that soon!
For anyone curious about the shipping timeline, we're looking at around September-ish or later.
I will keep you guys updated, though!
In other news, the manufacturer has sent me Elliot, Marla, and Stella!!!
Elliot, Stella, and Marla
They are so cuddly, and floppy. Stella is a bit more sculptural than the other two, but she is so soft and cuddly all the same!
I can hardly wait to launch Series 2.
OH, other important news:
If you have any questions or concerns, I have created a business email:[email protected]
Let's see... is there anything else? Hm...

Yeah, tons of concepts... haha. The sweaters aren't meant to replace the kigu idea, it's just an alternative option for those who don't like kigus! ^^
So, yeah!
I'll be back with another update. If you are not a part of the Discord, I strongly recommend joining!! I share a lot of stuff there.
If you can't, I understand. I will continue to update here, periodically! I really appreciate everyone's support thus far. Y'all have been so kind to me and I do not take it for granted. ;___;
I just wanted to hop on here and remind everyone that your surveys will lock tomorrow, as will the preorder shop!
If you haven't wrapped it up yet, please do! If you're confused or have any questions, please feel free to post them here or email me at: [email protected]!
I will respond as quickly as I can!
Also, Happy Mothers Day to everyone who celebrates!! ♡♡♡♡♡
