Holy moly folks we did it!
We successfully sent out over a thousand Cacthogs and Snurtles all across the globe, and YOU all are to thank for that. It will forever and always be humbling to know that there are so many out there that love Mashables. Knowing that my chaos resonates with so many is such a beautiful gift that I will never take for granted. Ever. ^_^

So thank you thank you THANK YOU for being here with us, supporting the world of Mashables. We truly couldn't do it without you all. <3 

If you're reading this and you go "wait, I haven't gotten mine yet". Fear not! Reach out to us either through Backerkit or on our website https://megsmashables.com/pages/avada-faqs and we'll figure out what happened. Most of the time it's as simple as a missed email. Once we get your shipping info and payment, we'll make sure your Mashable is sent to you posthaste! (no pun intended...ok... maybe it was a little intended...)

Don't forget to tag us on social to show us how your new babies are settling into their new homes!

ANDDDDD we have a new plush coming out soon! The Honey Dree! Part Honey Bee part Dragon, all fluff, no thought. Part of our collaboration with Monks Meadery. I had the honor of designing their 2025 Limited Edition Dragons Nectar Mead, which is the official Mead of Dragon Con. (Mead is alcohol so our sober friends and kiddos/underage friends obviously can't partake in the mead, but the can is cute and available for sale over on Monks Meadery's website!) These sweet friends have a preorder opening June 11th and should be ready to arrive late August, which WAY less wait time than usual, how cool is that?! And just in time for Dragon Con here in Atlanta where they will be available for pick up if you are local.

To get notified when that preorder opens go here

Thank you all again for being the absolute best community a Meg could ask for. Love you all and can't wait for the next plush adventure! People are already buzzing with excitement... ok we're done... are we though?

Oh my goodness! It's finally time! The babies have officially landed in Mashables HQ and we couldn't be more thrilled! Here's what to expect now.

LOCKING ORDERS 4/7: 
We are locking orders on Monday, April 7th. That means that once they are locked, whatever information you have given us (address, card info, add ons) is what we will work with. So make sure you get your add ons in and triple check your address (ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE AN APARTMENT NUMBER PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT'S ADDED!) *** If you haven't placed and order yet in the pre-order store, this is also the deadline for that shop! They will become available on the website and at conventions closer to June once we have all the preorder friends taken care of.***

CHARGING CARDS 4/9:
Once we've verified that the orders are all set, we will charge your card for the shipping, add ons and any applicable tax. If your card is declined, we won't be able to send you your new Mashable, so please keep an eye out on your emails to make sure it all went through!

EXPECTED SHIPPING - EARLY MAY:
We are perfectly on our projected timeline with when we expected to get these babies out to you. If we weren't ALSO going to the convention C2E2 in Chicago next week, we would have already started packing. But can't control that timing unfortunately, so we will start packing all 900+ plushies and send them out to you all as soon as we're back. You all should start expecting to see your Cacthogs and Snurtles soon after (our international friends will take a little longer). We will keep you posted if this timeline shifts in anyway!

Thank you all for being a part of yet another amazing plushie pre-order. Can't wait for you all to see the next ones ^_^

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out either through Backerkit support or through our website! And don't forget to take pictures of your new Mashables and tag us so we can see all their new homes!

Hello sweet friends!
The plushies are on a boat somewhere in the ocean on their way to the LA port, which means they're almost to us! WHICH MEANS THEY'RE ALMOST TO YOU!

So what's next?! We need to know where we're shipping them. That's where the Backerkit survey comes in. Shortly after this update, you will receive an email from us with your survey. The survey is where you tell us your shipping address, options to add on any extra goodies in the add-on shop (like if you wanted to add another plushie  👀 ), and then payment information for your shipping, taxes and any add ons you grabbed.

Once that happens, we will have a window of time where you can edit your survey (changed address, credit card info, more extra plushies  👀  👀  👀 ). But once we lock the surveys, you won't be able to edit this info. We will give you a heads up when the surveys will be locked. Once they are locked, if you still need to change anything, contact us through backerkit or through our website and we'll get you taken care of!

For those who missed the campaign or know someone who did, we will be opening a pre-order store here on Backerkit in the next few days for people to be able to retroactively back the project. But we want to make sure our original backers are taken care of first and we have their shipping and add on info before we open it back up to the public since they've been patiently waiting for 4 months. <3

Thank you all for being a part of another successful plushie campaign. We're only successful because of this amazing community and we will forever and always be grateful.

Can't wait to see what you all name your new Mashables! <3

-Meg and Kayla

Hello everyone and happy 2025! We hope you are all enjoying the new year and had a wonderful holiday <3

We wanted to touch base and let you know that this project is still on track with the Project Timeline originally outlined!!

The Snurtle and Cacthog are currently in the midst of production and should be arriving to us around April. Once we have a better-expected delivery date from our manufacturer, we will let you know and have a better window for expected shipping times!

In the meantime, surveys for shipping information and payment will be sent through BackerKit sometime in mid to late February. These surveys will be very important for you to fill out so we know where to send your goodies! Any Add Ons that were unlocked will also be available to add to your order.

We will also have the Digital Coloring Pages available for backers in the coming weeks!
If you haven't already, you can also check out the Cacthog Theme Song and Snurtle Theme Songs on social (we definitely didn't have any fun with these ;p)
