Missed the Campaign?! WE HAVE FINTASTIC NEWS

Just finding out about the Wow now? Feeling some flipping fomo? Ya, we get it ^_^ We herd you all, and decided to open up pre-orders so more friends can have their very own Wows.


PRE ORDER Your wows here! You can also still add-on the extra goodies from the campaign. The only thing that won't be available are the 1st day backer goodies (don't worry, next time ^_^)

New Plushie ❗

Our Mashables Plushie Family is looking to grow with the addition of the WOW (part whale - part cow - udderly adorable).

WOW Collage


Squishable (yes, THAT Squishable) has helped us bring our last SEVEN plushies to life, and we absolutely love working with them <3 We've already begun developing these new plush and have gone through the Planning & Prototype phases, which means the WOW is ready for Production!

All we need now is the funding to reach the factory's minimum inventory limit, as this cost is not something our small business can cover upfront. So, once again, we're turning to wonderful campaign funding platforms, like BackerKit, to engage with our community and try to make these new plushies a reality!

Project Timeline ⏰



NOV-DEC 2025: Funding!
JANUARY 2026: Production Starts
MAY 2026: Backerkit surveys and shipping information sent out
JUNE 2026: WOWs arrives at Mashables Warehouse
JUNE-JULY 2026: All orders will be processed and shipped out!

*Please be aware that with the state of the world ever-changing and many supply/shipping issues still causing problems on the market, it's hard to guarantee a solid timeline. We have the advantage of already having the prototype confirmed and specs ready to deliver to the factory once funds are received from BackerKit. This estimated timeframe uses the latest expected dates provided by the manufacturer, as of right now, as we'd rather be realistic than promise an earlier arrival. No matter what, we will always keep Backers updated throughout the process to give you the best idea of when you can expect your rewards ^_^

Shipping 📬



After the project is complete, your payment information will be charged for the pledge amount. Then, closer to the fulfillment date (likely around April/May 2026), BackerKit will send out a survey for you to fill out - with the opportunity to add additional items to your order (such as stretch goal items that may have unlocked)!. This survey is where we'll collect your shipping/address information and charge for the shipping/packaging costs. Please keep in mind that with the current economy, TARIFFS are weird and uncertain :( In the (hopefully unlikely) event we get hit with wild TARIFF charges during this project, this cost might reflect through shipping charges. We will do our very best to make sure you are being charged fairly, and we will keep you posted on any major updates <3 We did not want to preemptively bake this unknown cost into the price of our plushies upfront, because we simply do not know what TARIFFS will look like when we receive this order from our manufacturer next year. That seemed unfair to you, but TARIFFS may end up being unfair for all of us. We just simply don't know, and that kinda stinks. Thank you for understanding!

Keep in mind that if you have selected a tier with multiple plushies, shipping may vary to accommodate size and weight. Below is the estimated cost we've seen others provide, and our shipping fulfillment provider has estimated (be aware these are not the final costs, the final cost will be communicated to you before the item ships, and will also depend on the tier -- costs below are converted to USD):

USPS Estimated Shipping Rates As Of Nov. 2025


These rates were gathered from this USPS estimator and do not account for additional material fees. 

*Please keep in mind that some countries also charge VAT fees that range anywhere from 5%-30% of the purchase. Click here to see what your country's VAT percentage is to get a better idea of the charge.

We understand the additional cost of shipping is hard. Please know that we do our best to reduce the price as much as possible!

About Us 💕

Meg & Kayla of "Meg's Mashables"


ABOUT MASHABLES
MASHABLES: Combining animals with other elements to make a new creation!
The world of Mashables inspires the imagination, teaches real animal facts, and reminds us all that it’s ok not to fit inside one box. We are all unique creatures with a story to tell.

We strive to build a community that provides a safe space for people of all ages, genders, and identities to enjoy and create art. Meg's Mashables strives to be a strong example of how a business can be successful with a strong moral core and continues to be responsible in both an environmental and a humanitarian sense.


ABOUT MEG
Meg (she/her) has been an artist and performer for her entire life. An animal nerd by nature, once an iPad was put in her hands for drawing (and something happened in 2020 that made her schedule free up A LOT), the rest took care of itself. 

In the past 4 years, the Mashables brand has become larger and more life-changing than she could have ever foreseen. And this is just the beginning. With the tremendous help of her family, friends, and the amazing online community of millions of Mashies, she was able to plant the seed of Mashables and watch it blossom and flourish into a thriving, chaotic garden filled with puns and butts. 

Her big picture goals are to have Mashables as a household name, and she's working hard with her friends at Headword to create an animated series! One day soon, the story and world of Mashables will come alive in fun art workshops that are enjoyed by all ages, all around the world!


ABOUT KAYLA
Kayla (she/her) is the Operations Manager for Mashables aka the left brain to Meg's right brain. Often referring to herself as the "magic behind the curtain," Kayla uses her professional background in marketing, content strategy, and project management to handle the analytical and organizational tasks, allowing Meg to focus on being a creative, goofy goober. 

Outside of "work mode," Kayla is just a big-ol queer nerd who plays a lot of Dungeons & Dragons, reads a lot of books, drinks too much coffee, and just generally submerges herself in the world of pop culture.
