I am happy to announce that every paid reward has been sent out! All of you should have received a tracking link in your inbox.
In case you still haven't completed survey/paid – this week is the last chance to do so. After the end of the week, I will be closing this project and taking it as finished.
Important announcement
I am currently working on a new product featuring foxes... and that is PLUSHIES!! I am currently in the middle of sampling this red fox, and if this project will be coming up first, I will be sampling two more designs I have prepared right away. My current plans are making red fox, kitsune, sakura fox, star/space fox, fennec... and maybe more, depending on how well the campaign goes~
Which is why I need your help right now – Would you prefer to have pin campaign this summer, or plush campaign?
And stating this beforehand: I am 100 % planning to have both of these campaigns this year.
Thank you so so so much for all the support and love for Café Foxes, and hoping to see you, soon! - Moon Duckling
It has been some time since we've had an update, huh? I am glad to announce today that all backers who backed ONLY Café Foxes have been shipped out! Not only that – I also managed to send half of you who also backed Gaming Foxes! Otherwise, all rewards are packed and only waiting for my next trip to the post office :)
Sooo... why was there a delay in-between the first wave and this one of shipments? The main reason for that was that in May, I had 4 conventions to vend at, three of them back-to-back (and 1 of them being Dokomi, iykyk). We tried to pack and send out as many rewards as possible in the first 2-3 weeks after receiving the pins, but with all the con preparation, I had to take a break from it in-between. I want to apologize if there was any fear on your part, and thank you for sticking through ♥
With both campaigns getting close to being fulfilled, I think it's a good time to start thinking about the next campaign theme, isn't it? I ended up changing some of my plans, and the next campaign is planned for July or August! But I did hit a certain obstacle, which I need your help with... What should be the theme this time? I added a poll to this update, with the three themes I have had in my head. And don't worry – all of them include foxes. A LOT of foxes ♥
P.S. It's also good to mention – a few of you still haven't paid their pledges to this day. There is a possibility an issue happened on the Stripe/Backerkit side – in that case, please contact me, so we can work on a way to get you your enamel pins :)
Tuesday is finally here, and that means only one thing – THE PINS HAVE ARRIVED!
In the following 2 weeks, I wanna go through all of them, grade them and start shipping them to you! 🩷🌸
And two last things – with the pins being here, the pre-order store is still open, until the end of this week! So if you missed out on the campaign, it's a perfect time to still get one (or two!) of the pins! The other thing – there are still several unfilled surveys and unpaid pledges. I contacted several of you to offer an alternative option of payment, in-case your bank blocked this campaign. Please, check your inbox for the survey, or for the email from me. After I'm done sending all the rewards (including POT backers), I will be closing this campaign and you won't be able to pay nor fill-in the survey.
How have you been? I hope you've been absolutely great! I'm here after some time with a new update:
What's completed? This week, I've completed all the stickers and stickersheets for the campaign! I also have a little sneak peek – a (oopsie) stickersheet🤭 I've also picked up all the socks today! And yup, you've read that right – I actually work with a manufacturer here in my city, so they are made in the Czech Republic! But I bet you already wanna see them 👀
Excuse me for taking the pictures on such a messy desk, I am in the middle of a con preparations and... It's always wild during that time 😂
While Sakura and Forest Fox socks have been pretty straightforward and done quickly, we had some problems with Boba tea regarding the colours. I do wanna say I managed to get is as close as possible, considering how little brown the manufacturer offers.
What's left? I'm currently waiting on the plush keychains and enamel pins! All the enamel pins should arrive next Monday/Tuesday – when that happens, I will be here with another update regarding that, finally showcasing some photos! I already saw two of them in a video, and honestly? I can't wait to have them 🤭
And last but not least – to everyone who completed the survey – your credit cards will be charged soon after this update! Please keep that in mind 🌸
I am here with some good... and with some slightly bad updates!
Surveys & Pre-order store
I am here to remind you that it's last 3 days to fill-out surveys! I am still missing responses from 13 of you! It's also last 3 days to order anything from the pre-order store!
After this date, I will be locking every pledge & order and will be finalizing orders for my manufacturers!
Pay-over-time
For my pay-over-time backers – as you might have noticed, you haven't received your surveys yet... This is because Backerkit sends it either when the pledge is fully paid-for, or 4 months after the first charge happened. If I counted right, you should expect your surveys around middle of June! (Thank you to the backer who asked me about this!!!)
Fox Socks remain locked
As for the bad news... the new fox socks haven't hit the new lower order goal of 10 (as of writing this update), so I will be removing them the same day I will be locking orders.
