Hello all! While plushie samples are still in progress, I want to get started on production for those that have completed samples sooner rather than later, so I am opening up surveys before the end of the month so we can get started on that! I will leave them open until all samples have been finalized!! Please keep an eye out for surveys before the end of the month, unless I update otherwise! I have a few other details about surveys to go over that I'll address later in the update!

Next! HOODIES!! I finally have the samples of the hoodies and am ready to show them off!! You will be able to add these on for $60 each to your surveys. If you did not pledge, they will be available for preorder once surveys open as well!!

The one thing I am not sure about for hoodies is sizing!! They are patterned as "oversize" hoodies, so the sizing runs much larger than normal. Normally I'd like my sizing for clothes to go up to 4 or 5XL, but I feel like since these sizes are much larger than normal we might be good with up to 3XL? Let me know if you feel like you'd need something larger than 3XL, and if possible, let me know what measurements you would like to be accommodated (specifically the chest or chest circumference measurements!)

I also want to share a few more finalized plushies:

I am super super happy with how these two turned out! We are still waiting on finished samples for Em, Melon, and Jazz. 

Speaking of Em, I believe I mentioned it in the last update but unfortunately my manufacturer went back on their word and said that the embroidered wavy line around the outside was no longer possible. This does make sense since in order to embroider a line, the fabric needs to be flat, then sewed into a shape, so for the curved parts of the plush, it wouldn't be feasible to embroider that line. So we need to go in and adjust Em's design again D: I have thought a lot about what options we have going forward and have decided that these three designs I had planned for Em would be most possible to make. Please be sure to vote in the poll attached if you are planning on getting Em as to which design you would most prefer be the final design. All three designs feature some of the middle tone gray in addition to the cream and dark gray.

Lastly I wanted to talk about some of the guest artist add-ons!! I had wanted to commission a pin and sticker for each character, but organizing this for each character takes a lot of time, and I wanted to move forward with surveys and wanted to be sure artists were given adequate time to complete the designs. Because I ran out of time to give them time, there will only be stickers and pins for some of the characters. I also had a few guest artists drop out last minute and wasn't able to replace them quick enough so that's part of the reason for the missing characters as well. I still plan on having these designs made! They just won't be done in time for surveys - so I am adding an option on stickers and pins where you will be able to choose store credit as opposed to one of the designs, so you can buy the missing designs on my shop later as they become available.

Here are a few of the new add-on designs created by some wonderful guest artists!!

Thank you again and again for your patience as we work through this campaign! I dream big and my big dreams usually take more effort than I'm able to muster in the time I wanted to so I appreciate you accommodating the adjustments I'm making. I hope you're having an awesome day!!
