Project Update: Free stickers and free pins are unlocked! 24 hours(ish) to get to Star Fawn!



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!


Next Steps:


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!

Project Update: Lavender Goaticorn sample photos! Eight days left to get to unlock Star Fawn!

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

Project Update: New Stretch Goals + FREE Stickers! + Dragon design previews!


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!

New Bonus Stickers + Pin to Unlock!



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:

Antique Patina on Gold Metal

Antique Patina on Bronze Metal


Plush Goals


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:

Star Fawn Goaticorn

 
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!

Project Update: Our campaign has lots of free stuff! Let us show you the things!

There are so many free gifts you can get with this campaign!  Let's go over them!

Bonus Pins

The campaign is progressing with all the free mini pins unlocked!  You can now look forward to receiving these little guys in with all physical pledge orders! These are free thank you gifts from us to you. Thank you for helping us fund our plushies!



Collabs!


We really love PondHQ's cute whimsical style, so we thought it would be fun to do a cross collab for this backerkit! The campaign they are running is to remake their adorable Lily Pad Ita Bag


Since it's a remake of an older design, this bag has a ton of new improvements!  It would make a nice accessory for anyone out there who likes water themed pins (looking at my fish and Capricorn fans)!

There are also a variety of pins to choose from:


Lastly, it would be remiss of us to not mention the existence of Karl, who we think would be a fun friend for Moon Fish!

Backing PondHQ's campaign along with ours automatically unlocks bonus stickers!

Behold!  Fred the frog enjoying a pong with Moon Fish!  And we are absolutely dying over PondHQ's version of Rain Dragon napping with friends!  Additionally, you can unlock pins of both designs by generously backing $85 to both campaigns!


PondHQ has not reached their funding goal, so please consider checking out their campaign!  They even have a stretch goal of an amazing Butt Turtle plush!  

GO NOW!!



For the dragon people out there, we are a part of the Dragon's Realm Collection on Backerkit.  Backing three or more Dragon's Realm projects earns you free stickers!   And we all know you love stickers!

Here is the shiny holographic sticker will be gifting!
Fulfill your craving for stickers!


Don't know where to start with Dragon's Realm?  Check out our friend's at Dream Vale with their Dragon Hoard Dice Bags!


There even is a mini one!?!  Obsessed.  Imagine one of these guys riding on Rain Dragon!  

There's many more dragons to choose from from all the campaigns, so please have a look below!


Thanks for reading!  Please look forward to another update in the coming days detailing the design of Void and Fire Dragons.  We will also be updating stretch goals eminently with bonus stickers, another pin and reorganized plush goals.  Please look forward to it!

Project Update: Please vote on what plush design stretch goal happens at 50k!

More goaticorns? Or fire dragon?? We are hoping very hard that 40k will happen and we will get to make the black dragon. After that, we aren't sure what would be most popular. Vote here!
