Hi there friends, it's time again for our monthly update.
Unfortunately, sampling is still taking way too long. The last update improved Pocketcat's eyes, but they're still not looking the way I want them to, and my manufacturer is taking a long time to update me.
Kalev keychains are now being produced! He had no more edits, so it's just straight production from here :) Still waiting for an update on Moonless unfortunately.
However, now all pins are complete, and shipping to me soon, including cross-collab pins! For our next update I hope to have finished samples for at least Pocketcat, and professional looking pictures of the enamel pins.
Hi friends! It's been a bit since the last update, so here's May's update!
Unfortunately, things have been going way slower than I expected. Sample updates from the manufacturer are going way slower, with edits taking weeks. At this point I would expect fulfillment to be pushed back a bit as I first expected sampling to take 1-2 months.
PLUSH
Pocketcat is almost done, but needs adjustment to the eye embroidery.

proposed edits
Kalev was received in my studio, he's very small and very cute!
Moonless is still in sample update hell, so I have no update for her. I'm hoping to get one in the next week or two.
PINS
Pins have all finished sampling and are in full production. Here's a look see at them.
That's it for now. I thank all of you for your patience, and I'm sorry this one wasn't very exciting! I hope that the next update will be more eventful ❤️
Hello friends! Things are still chugging along, let’s make an update for what’s happened in the last month!
Plush Samples
Pocketcat is one update away from being perfected! We just need to change the orientation of his arms back to the original.
Kalev’s first sample is done. His full production has been paid for now, and we’re going to be making him brown. Otherwise, no more changes to the design.
Moonless is still… struggling, but she’s definitely getting there. I expect needing one more update to perfect the design. I’m going to change the mane colour to the same one used on her tail, make her teeth more rounded and change the body material so the paws aren’t as different.
Pins
The mini Moonless and Pocketcats are in full production and are being filled with colour.
The cross collab pins have finished colouring and sanding and are now waiting for electroplating!
Tariffs
As many people know, the USA currently has an 145% tariff on Chinese goods, which has been a problem for lots of creators I know. I’ve had a few people ask if it will affect this campaign - for now, the answer is no.
I’m based in the UK and my plushies are being sent from here, so there should be no tariff charged to any of you in the US. Currently UK goods are being charged at 10%, but your pledges come under the ‘de minimis’ exception which excludes goods under $800 from being tariffed.
I know this has caused a lot of anxiety for people, so I hope to assure you guys that as of now you won’t be affected. I’m keeping an eye on the situation and will keep you informed if there are any changes.
That’s all the updates I have for now. Thank you guys for your patience while I’m sorting production out!
Edits have went out for the second sample. These changes arent 100% concrete but I'll ask for your guys preference when the next sample comes out.
Freebie pins are also complete.
By the way, I've opened a Discord server to keep smaller updates like progress shots, wips and new merch, and feedback/suggestions, so if you're interested, you can take a look here! You'll be able to see progress shots for the plush as soon as I get them instead of waiting for enough content for an update!
I received the new Pocketcat sample pictures today.
It’s definitely looking better but I think the legs could be thicker, and his eye placement needs fixed and features shifted down on the face.
I’m asking you guys for your opinions before we move onto the second revision of the sample. Please comment any thoughts you have!
Re: the buttons, sadly the way they were affixed in the first sample was not high quality. They were very easily pulled out, so we’re currently working on a way to either attach them securely or replace them with another material.
The new Kalev sample is here too. They’ve added the cheek fur and chin fluff, but not yet the new colours. The shape of this plush won’t be changed anymore.
Otherwise, pins are progressing. Here are some of the blanks:
The freebie pin has only had the glowing portion filled in yet but is looking fantastic.
Coins are already complete.
Thank you for your patience and support 💖 Princefizz Art
