Welcome to the newest inki-Drop plush project! I've created a series of cute mini Mint Chocoturtle sea turtle keychain plush to take with you on adventures or simply to collect and cherish.
Mint Chocoturtle debuted in 2015 as part of the Seawater Sweeties campaign on Kickstarter.
She is a sweet natured baby sea turtle with an ice cream sandwich instead of a shell.
This project aims to bring her to more people, along with many new flavors to choose from.
These small-yet-mighty, highly detailed plush are professionally handmade out of super soft minky fabric, with a combination of embroidered, plush and dye sublimated details depending on the flavor.
They also include a removable keychain attachment so you can bring your sweet turtle friend with you wherever you go. Clip them to your bag, hang them from a lanyard, or simply collect and cuddle them.

Measurements
Each little turtle plush measures 13cm/5"in long from their cute little faces to their back flippers. Height is variable based on design, with Birthday Caketurtle being the "tallest" because of her candle.
For our main goal, Mint Chocoturtle, her measurements are 5x4.5x3"/13x11.5x7.6cm.
For a better example of the size & high detail level of these adorable mini plush, please watch the project video to see all of the variants!

The main goal for this project unlocks the Mint Chocoturtle keychain pendant plush as well as a handful of cute enamel pin designs. The initial goal amount covers the cost of prototyping, product safety testing, packaging, freight shipment and tariffs from China to the US/EU, plus BackerKit fees.
I ship from the EU! Orders to Spain (domestic), Australia, Canada, EU, Japan, New Zealand, the UK & other worldwide destinations will be fulfilled by yours truly from my home in Barcelona, Spain. Due to this, I can ship more affordably to all non-US destinations.
I ship from the US! Packages headed to US addresses will be fulfilled by White Squirrel from their warehouse in Everett, WA.
Splitting shipment locations ensures that we get the lowest shipping costs for everyone! π
PLEASE NOTE: Shipping is not factored into the price of items/bundles. You will be charged for shipping after the campaign is finished, based on actual weight of your items. The amounts below are only an estimation of your final shipping charge.
