Free mini pins are definitely happening! And the free holographic sticker pack is currently unlocked...? I say currently because some big pledges could drop and then we would lose the dragon sticker. (Please don't read this update and drop your pledge haha....)

Anyway, Star Fawn Plush is super close! We are still really hoping that we might get there? She unlocks at 50k, so maybe?

And did you see Lavender Goaticorn prototype?? She's a cutie!

The campaign closes in 24ish hours!  Be sure to check your credit cards and make sure your payment info is correct!  Backerkit will charge cards on February 12th.  Want to add on some items, but are on a tight budget?  No worries!  You'll have an opportunity for that when surveys go out next month.  And payment processing for extra items will not happen until closer to shipping.   

We are currently planning to send surveys in mid March! If we wait until mid March we might have prototype photos of a few things?? Most importantly, we might have prototype photos of Void Dragon! We already paid for the prototype and received a first pass at him. The shapes look good! The colors are being edited. (We asked for a very dark burgundy minky and received a pink minky. It's kind of comical but not ready for viewing.) In mid March we might also have some pin prototypes ready to be seen. We paid for some of the earlier pins and all those little leaping goaticorns are not super complicated to make, so maybe there will at least be prototypes of those!

Once surveys go out, you can choose add ons and international folks can pay for shipping.  The charge process for extras + international shipping will not be immediate; we will make an update when charges for those items will happen.  More than likely, it will be in the summer.  We will be taking a short break in February for shows + a break, but we will be back in March with more updates!

Between now and then, you catch us at Katuscon (National Harbor), Alaska Comic Con (Fairbanks), and Emerald City Comic Con (Seattle)!

See you soon on the other side of Star Fawn Plush? We hope? Her time reaches ever closer! 

Look who came in the mail!!!! It's Lavender Goaticorn! Wow her neck fur is confusingly soft. What happened? Where has this fabric been our whole lives? She is super darling! We love her plum colored eyes and super soft neck fur! I would like to think the softness is visible in photos.

We are requesting one small change (purple minky on the back of her ears instead of white).  But she is a very soft and magical baby! 

As a reminder, we are still working towards the 50k goal to unlock another hooved friend! 

We are so close to Star Fawn! It might be possible to get there??? Eight days remain ...

There are three free stickers to unlock on our way to Star Fawn! So far, Goaticorn Sea Foam is unlocked, Ashen Wings and Fire Dragon are next! All three will be holographic laminated vinyl stickers.

Check Out PondHQ's cute Ita Bag! PondHQ is our collaborator this Pintopia and we are both offering free stickers and free pins for backing both projects!

The big update here is that the free pin was previously available at 85$ pledged to both projects. But Pond's cute bag isn't funded yet! So! The promotion is now a free pin at 35$ pledged to both projects! c:  Please check out Pond's cute bag!  As a reminder, we won't be making these pins unless Pond's campaign is also successful. 

Thanks again for your support!  We'll be posting more videos of plushies over on Instagram and TikTok.  We'll also be at KamiKon in Birmingham, AL this coming weekend!  Caribou, Lavender and Black Goaticorn will be roadtripping with us.  If you wanna hold and pet them IN PERSON be sure to drop by the booth 193/194! 

Many Thanks,
Cari + Amanda 

Void Dragon is so close! He is the next stretch goal! Please consider telling your dragon loving friends??

Thanks to everyone who voted on the last poll!  We have updated the stretch goals a small bit with the addition of a new pin and three new *FREE* stickers!  Let's have a look!

We've added the option to unlock three new stickers!  These will be holographic glitter stickers, like the bonus stickers sent with our previous Holiday Market campaign.  We thought Ashen Goaticorn and Seafoam Capricorn were too pretty to remain as just pins!  If we manage to hit these goals, every physical item pledge will come with a bonus sticker(s) depending on what is unlocked! 

Additionally, we added Cycle of Rain pin as a goal.  It will be unlocked for ordering once we reach $52,500.

Since we are discussing pins, a picture of antique patina was requested in regards to the Ashen Goaticorn Pin. The antique patina is a brushed metal appearance with antiquing that turns recessed parts of the pin darker and makes it overall have a smoky appearance.
 
Here is are two samples of what that looks like on two previously made pins:

Void Dragon continues to be our very next stretch goal. But after that, the poll revealed Star Fawn to be more popular than expected! So we've reorganized the plush goals based on interest as follows:

 
Dragon Designs Details

We are still making our way to unlock both dragon designs.  Void Dragon is still waiting to be unlocked!  Let's have a look!

We've already begun prototyping a sample of  Void Dragon Plush.  He will be the same size as Rain.  He'll feature silver metallic embroidered stars on his sides.  His eyes have a cool black hole motif embroidery.  Down his back  will run a strip of maroon minky and his stomach will be indigo.  We will update soon when we receive photos of his sample!

Here's a closer look at Fire Dragon! 

She will be varying shades of red and orange!  She was actually the first dragon we designed, but then we played with color mock ups and came up with Rain.  So he won out as first dragon to be made. 

If you're willing, please consider sharing our campaign with your friends? As funding stands right now, we will probably not reach most of the plush stretch goals. We are hoping to get to Void Dragon, but beyond that, like reaching Star Fawn for instance, it's hard to say. So if you're willing to share our campaign, it might help!

We hope you have enjoyed this look at our plush designs!  Let's keep working together to make them happen!
