One of our employees took some amazing shots while we were working on preorders! All of the Rest O’ Creature, Version You Love, Underwhelmed & Overstimulated, and 90% of the Need Space designs have officially been printed! 🥳🥳🥳 All remaining designs (those with sleeve designs) will be printed next week! Thank you again everyone for your patience and we are so excited for 2026! 🥰🥰🥰
Hello everyone! It has been too long without an update and for that we apologize! One of the things that has been going on this year is we haven’t changing the way our hoodies are manufactured, and that means printing in house! We recently got a large garment printing machine and are currently setting it up. While the machine is here, we have had a lot of trouble with the installation and first prints but these issues are currently being rectified! We decided to pursue getting out own garnet printer to better control the quality and flexibility of producing our apparel and at the end of this our products will have the same high quality or perhaps even better!
We will continue to share updates as we print the pledge hoodies and begin sending out the remaining pledges! Every pledge that does not involve a hoodie has been sent out! Thank you for your patience and more updates are coming soon!

The backerkit is over and it was a huge success! With over 34k raised we have fully funded production on not only the blankets, but the hoodies, pins and prints as well!!
So what’s next? First, everyone should’ve received a notification saying that the money was deducted from their account, but we had a series of pledges fail, so please check your information if you happen to be one of these people. The system will automatically attempt to charge failed payments again in a week.
In one week, once the funds have transferred into our account we will send out a survey, the surveys are where you decide what design you would like and since we funded all of the stretch goals, all of the design options will be available. This is also when we will collect shipping costs, they are a separate cost and may be high for our international audience so please be prepared. (SHIPPING COSTS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR PLEDGE)
Once the surveys have been received, and we know exactly how much to order, production will start.
The projected timeline goes as follows: May 19th: The project goes live May 19th-June 19th: Funding Late June: Surveys (one week from the end of the project). July - September: Manufacturing September – early October: Shipping Mid October: Inventorying and quality checking Late October - November: Fulfillment and shipping Late October - early December: Delivery of the blankets to our backers
We have tried to account for delays in this projected timeline, so there is a chance everything may move quicker. But this is the prime season for the manufacturing of textiles so we will keep everyone updated via emails and project updates.
To anyone who missed out on this project, these products will be available on our website after the orders are fulfilled. We are expecting to be the end of this year or in the new year.
Thank you again to anyone who backed and supported this project. You made something wild come true and we are so grateful! Thank you!
All goals are unlocked, with a special exception made for the Version You Love design, which I have unlocked early due to its popularity and the request of our audience. Thank you to everyone who loved this design, and I am so excited that it is being made!
We have budgeted, conferred with our manufacturer and feel comfortable unlocking this design early as we are less than $2000 away from $30K. This is something that I never thought would happen, I added those last stretch goals as a wild dream not knowing what to expect and the fact that we are this close means so much! There is one day left to support this project and I believe that we can not only reach 30 but surpass it. Please keep sharing and thank you to everyone who has supported this project.
Here is the full collection and the final hoodie mockup!
With just over two days left, our seventh and second to last stretch goal has been hit! Sorry for the delay in this announcement, as we had a huge event over the weekend. But officially now, every design except for the Version That You Love design has been unlocked! This is a huge milestone! We know a lot of people were excited for that last design, and I wanted to pose a question, if we were to unlock it early in the hopes that we reach 30k, how many people would support it? We want to provide people with what they want, but we also need to keep our costs in mind. Please comment or react to this update if you would pledge for this design!
Thank you again to everyone who has pledged and made this insane project so successful! Thank you!
Dear Playing Possum Team,
I don't know where to reach you, so I'm trying here.
Before this pledge, I already once ordered two hoodies from you, when you still had a different manufacturer. Sadly, the prints on the backerkit hoodies "It's a beautiful cycle" and "Not dead yet (alternate)" seem to be of less high quality, as both big prints have started to become flaky after about two or three washes each.
I have washed them inside out, on gentle at 30°C and let them airdry each time, but sadly the prints already started getting flakey, like how it looks when you know that a t-shirt print will start dissolving.
Do you know of any way to fix this or prevent it getting worse? I like those hoodies and would prefer to keep them looking new for as long as possible.
Also, has anyone else noticed a similar problem on their hoodies and different motives?
Signed,
CluelessOctopus
