You may be asking yourself this question right now... Well this is a quite simple answer!
A plush toy line consisting of adorable Noodle dragons!
Our initial funding goal of $22,000 will cover the cost of the first five designs as well as a storage space for these guys as well! We hope if possible to gain enough funding to do two other designs!
This line was originally started in 2023, with a previously used manufacturer. Who created the samples for the original designs. With samples sponsored by those in the community. Below are some of the early artworks, and early samples!
This was the first one designed! And was the only one from the original 6 designs to be turned into one of the new ones too!
These are two other ones that were designed as well, and below we want to share some of the original plush toys made! They were never put into bulk production, but they were sent out to those who sponsored the sample of each design!
There was even one designed to look similar to Haku from spirited away, they were my favorite one personally. But there were many issues with these first samples, shapes not being accurate, printed fabric not being the same quality as non printed, etc. So the project was put back on the shelf.
That is until last November when new designs were created, and new samples made with our new factory who are also the ones making pocket pals!
In November of 2024, new designs were made and new samples created! Below are the new designs for the noodles that were created!
These designs aren't the only ones made, and while we don't plan to have stretch goals, if we are able top reach beyond the needed amount for these 5 designs, we can likely create other designs as well!
These dragons measure a whopping 25 inches in length, plus the fur on their tail tips! And are weighted too, giving them the perfect feel in your arms. They can even sit on your shoulder, and join you on adventures without falling off!!
We worked tirelessly to create the first sample with our manufacturer, making minute changes until the plush shapes were perfect!! Though the first sample completed di turn out a little bit differently than we had thought, we soon were able to reach the final project and from there move onto the other four designs! Leaving us with these beautiful plush toys!
This was the first version of the lovely green dragon, and it had already come out so close to what we wanted! There were just a few small changes that needed made, which led us here to the final products!
These lovely noodles!! Our hope is to be able to fund these five, and if we surpass the goal for them, perhaps fund two other designs shown below!!
So! You may be wondering about the timeline of this project, since it already has its samples produced! With the exception of the two available stretch goals.
Below is a visual graphic to show the timeline of this project using colored sections, and a key at the bottom explaining each section in order! The goal is to have all orders shipped out by the end of August 20205! We have expected shipping dates listed as September, just incase any delays in production occur which should not happen. But better safe than sorry!!
When will the stretch goal samples be made you may be asking? They will be made during the bulk order production! To avoid any delays in shipping and receiving of the bulk order.
*** Please note that this is a tentative timeline. It can end up a shorter or longer timeline but updates will be posted every step of the way!!***
Shipping will be paid for after the campaign is finished. And when surveys are filled out, to avoid any issues with funding. Below are the expected shipping rates for 1-5 plushies! Anything higher than 5 plushies is a case by case basis.
We also will be doing international orders on a case by case basis, since shipping outside North America can be quite expensive with some countries. If you have concerns about shipping costs please feel free to reach out in the community section before backing the campaign!
