Garth looks terrifying, but he's a friendly guy! He's just really loud, which intimidates some folks. I promise he is howling with laughter, not bloodlust! Garth is:
Primarily long pile minky!
Detailed with applique face details and minimal embroidery to keep him super soft!
Has a snarly minky smile and big yellow minky eyes!
Completely black other than his face details, but the different lengths of fur give him excellent texture!
Skye is actually a white werewolf, but he loves to show his pride this time of year! Please stop him from dying his eyebrows next year, you're not supposed to do that... Skye is:
Primarily long pile minky!
Detailed with applique eyes, mouth, and brow spots!
Embroidered with details, but is kept as soft as possible!
Rocking a BIG mane of shaggy white faux fur!
Moose has very simple taste. He likes food, sleep, and having a good laugh. Watch out for his pranks! Luckily he does not have a youtube channel. Moose is:
Primarily short pile minky!
Detailed with applique spots!
Embroidered with a BIG ol' smile!
Blessed with a long pile minky mohawk, making it softer than standard faux fur!
Udon prefers swimming to flying. His one big regret: he didn't know about the noodle dish when he chose his name. Please don't tease him too much! Udon is:
Primarily long pile minky!
Detailed with sewn in and applique stripes and markings!
If the project is funded, Garth the Black Werewolf, Skye the Trans Pride Werewolf, and Moose the Gnoll will all be immediately available! You can choose from any of these 3 40 inch plush at launch, or a Valentino the Grey Werewolf. At 6 feet long, Udon is not an inexpensive plush to make! It will be a serious victory if we unlock him! As soon as 45K is hit he will become available as an add-on and a new pledge level, but until then there is no option to purchase him.
Can you guess who it is from the silhouette? They aren't a very well kept secret, but they ARE a cutie, and will be even longer bodied than Udon! 2 super long plush is not an easy task to fund, but they'll be amazing for hugs if it happens. The full plush will be revealed if we hit 50K!
3 inch vinyl stickers with adorable designs of our plush characters! These stickers are not recommended for outdoor use as they are not tested for lightfastness under direct UV exposure, but they are otherwise durable and waterproof with vibrant prints! Here are all the currently available designs. You'll choose the design you want after the campaign!
All these designs are by these amazing guest artists!
Returning backers get a free sticker of their choice!
4 inch name tags made of synthetic wood at a scale that matches the plush! These are for putting on a collar you give your new friend. For default names, they've got the character name integrated in to the design. These are available as add-ons!
For custom names, the name is applied as a sticker with a varnish sealer to protect it, giving it a raised feeling. This is custom printed and cut so you can choose a name by default. These are only available via pledge!
Want something extra special? Get a fully custom design! Back for the custom tag tier and not only will your name be custom, but so will your tag's shape and colors. This is only available as a pledge!
Random is fine! Don't like making choices? You can get something completely random for a fun surprise!
All custom names and shapes must be SFW.
These plush have already been released and are up for order or pre-order on our site, but by ordering them here you help the campaign out! Fulfillment windows are the same as the other items in the campaign, not what is listed on lairbrew.com. Choose from Valentino the Grey Werewolf, the original 40 inch long werewolf plush, or our giant gryphon, who's larger than the werewolves but not as long as Udon!
Enjoy the spoils from previous campaigns at their campaign-exclusive pricing! This is our third Backerkit campaign, so if this is your first time here you're still in luck!
The campaign ends on July 7th, 2025. As soon as funds clear safety testing, manufacturing, and related costs (such as label printing) are paid for all plush with finalized prototypes. Production begins in August for every plush without a prototype delay, most likely early on depending on safety testing results. Production should end in Late October to mid November, and sea shipping begins right afterward. That means these plush will be hitting the border just in time for holidays to be slowing everything down. Plush may arrive in early December, but may arrive Mid-January at latest. Fulfillment should be just starting in mid-February at latest for all plush launching with finalized samples, and at earliest it might be wrapping up around that time. These are big plush that will take a long time to make, so these estimates have buffers built in.
Pay in 4 is not currently anticipated to be a problem, but it has the potential to create up to 4 months of delay to any given estimate. This would move expected fulfillment to as late as mid-may 2026. This is a worst case scenario that we want to disclose just in case. It is far more likely that any delay would be only 1 or 2 months. Any such delay will be shared as soon as we're aware!
These are estimates for stuffed, unweighted 40 inch plush, which include the 3 werewolves and Moose! Currency exchange rates for getting other currency totals vs. USD were done on 05/28/2025.
Shipping prices and the value of USD vs other currencies are in more of a state of flux than usual. I need to stress that these are estimates, not guarantees! You will see your actual shipping charge when you receive your survey, so you can double check it before you are charged. Domestic fulfillment will be handled by the in-house team at Lairbrew. If fulfillment becomes a large enough task due to campaign success, the extra strain will be alleviated by working with Nextsmartship, with whom we already have an established relationship.
International fulfillment will either be handled via Nextsmartship or in-house from the US, depending on the tariff situation when production wraps up, and the end country in question. This campaign is not shipping to the EU, but we will be fulfilling to other countries outside the EU!
Don't worry, we're going in to this as educated as possible and as prepared as we can be without a crystal ball!
If tariffs don't change:
The initial funding goal and all subsequent stretch goals include the current tariff rate as of 05/27/2025 as part of the expenses. If they do not increase they should not be a problem! I can't promise that things will remain stable, but I can promise I've gone in to budgeting knowing that things might be on shaky ground. I also already experienced a tariff upset with my last campaign Carrion Baggage, so I have immediate plans in place for peace of mind.
If tariffs do change:
If tariffs are re-instated or increase, an attempt to raise additional funds will be made to cover the difference. If this effort is unsuccessful or the increase is absurd all US backers will have a choice: having their order fulfilled directly from China, or accepting credit for use at lairbrew.com equal in value to what they pledged for the campaign. Choices will not have to be made until fulfillment time is here.
Refunds will not be offered in response to tariff changes, as due to the nature of crowdfunding, the money will have been spent on the manufacturing process. You will receive an amount of goods equal to what you backed for in either case however!
Backerkit is a pledge now, pay later crowdfunding platform! Your card won't be charged until the end of the campaign, and if we don't reach our funding goal you won't be charged at all! You can edit, add to, or cancel your pledge any time between now and the end of the campaign, and add-ons can still be added even after the campaign ends. Waiting to pledge doesn't help us reach the goal, so if there is something you want it is best to pledge now instead of waiting for the campaign to be nearly over. If you back for a plush you will also have a pay in 4 option presented to you!
You will need a Backerkit account to back, but it is free and super quick to sign up for! Make sure you pay attention to the timeline, since crowdfunding plush like this is a lot like a pre-order. Your order will not ship right away, so check the estimated timeline! Pledges successfully charged after the campaign ends are final.
Plush are expensive to make, especially at this size, and that is before you factor in the current tariffs, card fees, Backerkit fees, sea freight cost, safety testing, fulfillment materials like shipping bags, and a cushion for unexpected expenses! This potion is a rough visual of where the money goes if we succeed. Manufacturing is by far the most expensive part, but tests, freight, and development just about double that. Everything else looks like a drop in the cauldron compared to those big costs!
At time of launch, Moose does not have a finalized prototype. He is well on his way however! If for some reason he does not have one by the time the campaign ends, please rest easy knowing your order will not be locked until it is finalized. This will allow you to change Moose to a different 40 inch plush in case his final iteration is not to your taste. Refunds will not be provided, so please only back for Moose if you are sure you would be ok with receiving one of the werewolves instead!
