We've been making plush since 2023. After having multiple samples made with different manufacturers, we built a relationship with the manufacturer that we trust to produce quality plush. They produced our first designs – Fudgey Frog and Hippogriff seen below – that were created alongside our talented designer and friend, Sarah Cosico. 

Working with Sarah and our manufacturer over the last year or so, we created designs and produced samples for two new plush (the second will be revealed as a stretch goal later in the campaign). Take a peek at the design process by comparing the concept sketches to the finishes sample.

Since the design and sample process are complete, the plush are ready to be put into production at the end of the campaign and arrive in time for fulfillment with the rest of our pins and other goodies. We'll be using the same manufacturer that made our previous boxes to produce high quality, foil-stamped boxes complete with adoption certificates as well.
