The campaign is over, and now the real work begins! Thank you all so much for supporting me for my very first Backerkit campaign. Since this is my first project here on Backerkit, I'm taking things slow so the process goes as smoothly as possible. My assistant, Riot, will be helping me answer questions and e-mails. However, I ask that you please give us a bit of patience as we get to everyone. I will continue providing updates and photos as each step of production commences!
Here's what we're working on right now!
As of November 1st, we have begun processing pledges. Surveys will be sent out shortly so you can choose your Hurtsies and add-ons, as well as setting up shipping. We are delaying surveys a bit until we get the completed samples in. Due to popular demand, we will also be setting up a preorder shop for those who were unable to pledge during the campaign.
Samples are still in production! The first round of photos I shared was graciously sent by my manufacturers so we could speed along the process by getting everything placed roughly where it ought to be. I know the paper faces threw some people off, but it's nothing more than a matter of saving time. I'm about to send off the color edits and adjustments for the finalized samples!
RE: Mishmash's design! I had a lot of comments mentioning that they liked the first sample shown better. However, I need to clarify that this is the same sample. It's just complete with embroidery and updated straps. Due to Mishmash being a backpack, his shape is a little bit different compared to the stiffer base of the other Hurtsies. This is so you can store more goodies inside of him. His legs are a bit longer so that he can be placed in a seated position like the other Hurtsies. That being said, he does still need a few tweaks, but he's getting there!
I'll be making little adjustments to the plushes here and there, but I'll share each step of the way with yall!
My current priorities are getting these samples finished and surveys sent out after! So next update, I'll have even more goodies to share with you. (OH! and did I mention we're getting a cool official logo soon?)
Thanks as always, everybunny! I hope you'll continue to hang out with me as we all watch this project come to life (or back to life?)
