Hey all!

I promise I'm alive, ha! Sorry for the delay in any updates, card chargings, etc. I came home from Anthro New England, excited to work but apparently caught something while there and needed more rest than anticipated, yuck! But, the silence brings good news; The HugBubs have been unpacked, add-ons ordered in, and they are now ready to come home to you! Just need to order in the stickers for the Sticker Packs, and fulfillment will begin!

So with that, LAST CALL (for real this time) before CARDS ARE CHARGED and all remaining outstanding balances are collected!
I will officially charge cards for shipping and any additional add-ons by the end of this week, Feb 15th (happy early Valentines day btw!), so be prepared for that! I would've charged already, but since I overshot the initial charge date by so much I figured it was fair to give one final warning so you all know to look out for it!
Fulfillment will begin immediately afterwards!

Please do remember to fill your surveys, if you haven't already! I still do need shipping addresses from some of you, and I would hate for you to never receive your reward!

This is also the last call for Add-Ons! I have decided to keep the surveys open until card charging, so this is your last chance to change, add, or remove any add-ons you desire!

Again, sorry for the delays! I have everyone's chosen critters, for those of you who have already made their picks, set aside and ready to unite with you!

Hey there everyone!

Wow did this month fly by, welcome to the new year everyone!

Wanted to give a pulse check and reminder that the Surveys were due today, but due to the whirlwind of convention preparations (see you at Anthro New England, if you are attending!!), I have decided to postpone survey locking until Tuesday, the 20th! That gives you 5 more days to complete your surveys and be prepared for your card to be charged (for shipping + add-ons)! If desired, you can change your plushie type and shipping address later, but I need to confirm add-ons ASAP!
Do make sure to check if you have any outstanding balances now as well (particularly in shipping!), as the update below is confirming a date to expect plushies to ship! I would hate for you not to receive your HugBub buddy or have it delayed!

In addition, Racket and Banjo plushies have ARRIVED! This puts us way ahead of schedule, so even despite a studio move and set up, there is a very good chance everyone will be receiving their plushies by mid-February! They will also be available for full sale (no more preorder!) this month! There is a couple of back-end things to arrange now, and set-up to ship, but beyond that this journey is almost over!

Thank you all for your patience! See you again once we're ready to go!

Hello everyone! Back again with the update you've been waiting for!

Please check your emails for your surveys, the one you backed this campaign with! There you will be able to confirm which plushies you'd like to take home, select the stickers you'd like, and even throw in anything extra! Plus, cover shipping!

As a reminder, your survey will lock and the fees for shipping and additional add-ons (if any) will be collected on January 15th, so please plan accordingly!

If you missed the campaign, or want to snag yourself a sweet little Banjo Raccoon, you can do so now while remaining fulfillment is secured! They'll only be available while supplies last (while I have the lot of them terrorizing my home), so don't wait!

Go to My Store Here!

That's all for now, please reach out if you have any trouble with either the survey or the store! I'm excited to get these guys home to you!

Hey there guys!

Been a hot second, sorry about that! Been a busy month, between Midwest Furfest prep and preparing a move! But, I come bearing good news: Surverys are DONE (finally) and will be on the way very soon! They are currently being approved, and you'll get to pick your cuddly little buddy (and the option to add more!) very soon!
Because of the delay in sending these out, I will obviously be extending the date for when your survey needs to be in! I want to try and give you all a month to fill it, so your entries will be due by January 18th! Hopefully that will give you enough time, but don't wait too much on it; I don't want you to be missed if you had someone specific in mind! You'll be asked to cover shipping, so be ready for that!

In other news, production has gone smoothly, and VERY quickly! Bobbin and Mercury have already arrived home, having debuted at Midwest Furfest last weekend, and just the day before I got the update that Racket and Banjo have also completed production! Certainly ahead of schedule; great to note for next time!

This confirmed that almost as soon as the survey period has passed, fulfillment will begin! All 4 will also likely be available in person at Anthro New England, where the full collection is scheduled to debut in its entirity! Anyone who missed the fundraiser can catch them there, OR check out my Store to grab the preorder option that has also gone live!

We're already nearing the end of this project production-wise, and I'm so excited to start planning for the next one! Some teases for the upcoming projects are in the works to come soon, so keep an eye out and see you then~!

Hey everyone!

Apologies for the delay in sending this specific update out; I was out in Connecticut at Furpocalypse during the final days, and needed some time to recoup once I got home. But I wanted to make sure I found the time to share my thanks, now that the campaign is over, and discuss where we're going from here and what's next for the HugBubs!

This was my first ever crowd-funded project EVER, so I'm honestly super humbled by the turnout and so, SO grateful for you all! $2.3k and 35 backers for a first-time venture is nothing to sneeze at~! :'D Thank you SO, SO MUCH!! for all the support, love for these little weirdos! It's been so special to see everyone's reactions, and now that I've learned from this experience and how all this sort of stuff works, I'm prepared to go bigger and better with future endeveors (including expansions to this little pack, perhaps?) So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for the support and the belief each and every one of you have given this passion project!! ;w;

So, WHAT'S NEXT?

As you may have seen, Backerkit is starting to collect pledged funds and making sure my bases are covered! In the meantime, I will be navigating my way through the back-end, including surveys that will be collecting addresses, plushie choices, and any other last-minute additions you want included! Keep an eye on that in the coming weeks!
The Preorder store will also go live for Bobbin, Racket, Mercury, AND BANJO around the time surveys go out as well (and I will make sure of it this time, ha!), for the followers or viewers who missed out on the campaign! Yes, you saw that right, I have made some plans for Banjo specifically: due to the fact that the raccoon was NOT unlocked during the campaign, I have elected to have him put into production regardless, but Banjo will be a PREORDER AND POST-PRODUCTION EXCLUSIVE. This means that he won't be a survey option and will only be available for retail price rather than the campaign-exclusive pricing. Sorry if that's disappointing news, but you still have Bobbin, Racket, and Mercury to choose from! I just want to ensure the full current collection is available in some way for you all to enjoy <3

Speaking of the idea of a collection, planning for a second campaign and/or pre-order goal will start going into fruition as well, with plans for that yellow and green design ironed out as the promised backer-vote! There is also a thought to add to the plans to also include an indigo design, but this one may be a bit special... Say, 3x bigger and extra floppy, perhaps? More details to come as soon as possible; there's much to do before then, but wanted to tease you guys to keep an eye out for more~!

Once more, before I sign off and scurry off to get the production ball rolling, thank you all so much again!! Keep your eyes peeled for further updates! <3
