The samples for Banjo, Kopi, and Nova are finally complete! Juno's sample is still in the works and not finalized, so please note that as previously stated, the surveys and preorders are still not closing until TWO WEEKS after I have pictures and videos of ALL finalized samples.
these are manufacturer pictures and videos - I have edited them a little to make the colors more accurate to what you will see irl, as my manu's lighting is super harsh in pictures! as soon as juno's sample is done, they will be sent to me, and I can upload better pictures :)
I have been struggling to communicate the proper color placement for juno's sample for several several months and it is still not correct </3 I am really hoping the next version will be right but based on it not being correct time and time again my hope is not too strong ToT. the light blue is missing from the back legs and middle blue from the front legs and her paw prints are missing from the back legs.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- I have finalized kopi, banjo, and nova's samples. I am checking to see if a dotted fabric is available for bulk production for kopi's blue, but that is the only change I will be making to these as they are to my liking, with the colors I intended to use from the beginning, and I am not requesting feedback on them as they won't be changed.
- Production for Nyx, Ollie, Leo, and Lumi has already began! My manufacturer is hoping to be able to ship that first batch in March, meaning they will arrive to me hopefully in April or May. Grading may take a bit but hopefully we can start getting them out asap. That being said, production for the second batch including Kopi, Banjo, Nova, and Juno cannot begin until all their samples are complete, so only pledges that contain only plush from the first batch can be shipped out until the second batch arrives - which I still don't have an ETA on as I don't know when Juno's sample will be finished. I will let you know once I have put in the order and received an ETA!
- We are only 17 orders away from unlocking TAIJA!! I anticipate his sample could be finished fairly quick as there won't need to be too many changes from Lumi's pattern to Taija's for my pattern designer, pardon her tail being a different shape and face patterns being different. His colors are also more distinct than Juno's monochrome pallet, so if we're able to unlock her before Juno's sample is complete, I don't think we'd be waiting too much longer for surveys to lock! as a reminder, if taija is not unlocked, all orders/add-ons for them will be removed from your cart, so you won't be charged.
- please keep an eye on unlocked blankets as well! depending on my blanket manu's rules I may possibly be able to order smaller quantities than 15 for those not funded, but I will have to check in with them.
more updates to come as they are available! I am most accessible via my discord server where me or a mod can help if you have specific questions. I also post updates there first as I am often traveling and have never been able to get the backerkit campaign admin to work on my phone, so it's easiest to post there! Thank you to those who have been helping share updates from discord here <3 also as a note as i've had a few people ask, if you canceled your pledge, I'm sorry, but I can't un-cancel it haha. you're welcome to pre-order via the preorder store if you changed your mind!
