Project Update: Plushies getting Packed โ Shipping Prep underway!
Weโve got another exciting update for you โ Cowddles the Cow and Marigold the Red Panda are now being packed and prepped for their journey to us!
Our manufacturer has started vacuum sealing these big squishy babies to save space in transit (theyโre absolutely gigantic, after all!) โ and we couldnโt stop giggling at how funny they look all squished in their boxes! Just look at them!! เซฎโ หต> ใฎ <หตโแ
Weโve already completed the shipping payment, so the cargo will soon be on its way to us. This shipping method is quite slow so it might still take a while for them to arrive in our hands. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly from here on out! ๐ฅบ๐ค
Once the packages arrives, weโll be getting straight to work on sorting and packing each of the shippable pledges with care. As mentioned before, your plush might arrive looking a bit... flattened and wrinkled due to the vacuum sealing. But donโt worry โ a few gentle puffs, squishes, and cuddles will bring it back to full puffy glory in no time!
Weโre also working on a simple illustrated instruction sheet to include with each plush, just in case you need a reminder on how to help them bounce back to their best selves.
Thanks again for your patience and support. Weโre getting closer and closer, and we seriously canโt wait for these cuddly friends to finally meet you! Trust us, they're so squishy and comforting that it's all worth it ๐ฅน
With fluff and love,

Project Update: Cowddles & Marigold are Done โ Bulk Production Complete! ๐
Weโre back with an exciting follow-up to our last update โ and this time, weโve got completed bulk production photos to share!!
While the sample of Peanut the Opossum is currently undergoing some tweaks and adjustments, we have these other exciting news:
โจCowddles the Cow and Marigold the Red Panda are officially finished!โจ
Our manufacturer just sent us these super fresh shots straight from the production line, and we couldnโt wait to show you! Just look at these squishy cuties all ready to cuddle their way to you ๐ฅน๐
Itโs such a huge milestone for this project to see them all done and looking exactly how we envisioned โ from the embroidered little hearts on their bellies and toe beans on their paws, to the custom tags and labels we worked so hard on ๐ We're beyond proud of how they turned out, and we hope you love them just as much!
๐ฆ Next step: shipping to us!
Once they arrive to us, weโll start carefully packing them up for you. Just a heads-up: when your plush arrives, it may look a little flat or squished due to the vacuum sealing of course โbut donโt worry! Youโll just need to give it a few gentle *PUFFS* and squishes with your hands to bring it back to full fluffiness! ๐๐
Weโll try our best to create and include a simple *graphic* instruction mini-sheet with each plush, just in case โ though they're super easy info to remember!
Thanks again for sticking with us on this other plushie journey. We're getting closer every day, and seeing these cuties in bulk now is making it all feel even more real!
We seriously canโt wait to get them into your arms ๐ฎ
Talk soon & take care,
the Quirkory team~
Project Update: ๐ Marigold & Cowddles are here โ Shipping Starts Soon! ๐ฆ + New Peanut Sample Revealed! ๐พ
Itโs been a while since our last update, but we finally have amazing news to share!
After a long journey across the sea ๐ข(yep, sea freight takes a minimum of 50 business days ๐ฅฒ), our Marigold & Cowddles plushies batch has finally arrived โ after also being stuck in Customs for nearly a month ๐ฉโ and weโve already started doing quality checks on them! ๐ผ๐ฎ
Weโre OBSESSED โ theyโre unbelievably soft, squishy, and -as always- cuter in person, especially seeing so many all together ๐๐โจ We canโt wait for you to hug them yourselves โ instant serotonin boost guaranteed!!
๐ Important note about the outfits:
Weโre really sorry about this unexpected delay๐ฅบ
When we posted our last update, we were only running a month behind schedule โ and we genuinely thought things were finally smooth sailing. Sadly, things took a turn (again), but weโre doing our very best to make up for lost time and ensure everything reaches you safe and sound๐ช
Anyways, the manu now confirmed that they will be produced alongside the bulk production of Peanut the Opossum, whose new sample has just been finalized (after countless revisions! ๐ซ ) and we finally received fresh photos and a video from the factory!! ๐ฅ๐
We love this little chunky peanut!! ๐ It will finally enter bulk production as well, yay! ๐

๐ In the meantime, weโll start shipping rewards for those of you who only ordered Marigold and/or Cowddles, so you donโt have to wait any longer for your cuddle buddies! ๐
Thank you SO much for your patience and support throughout all the ups and downs. Weโre incredibly grateful to be making this dream project a reality โ and we canโt wait to see these babies in your arms ๐ฅน๐
With love & snuggles,
Inari & Mako ๐งธโจ

Does anybody know how much longer it is going to be until they are rolled out and shipped? Never expected it to be encroaching on a year until we can get them.
Project Update: Production Updates & Peanut sample sneak peek!
A lot has been going on behind the scenes, and weโve been hard at work to keep everything moving forward as much as we could!
Cowddles & Marigold plushies are still in full production mode โ right now, manufacturer is also printing the tags and labels, and things are looking super cute so far ๐ช We canโt wait to receive some work-in-progress production photos, and see them all finished and ready to cuddle their way to you! ๐ฅน
Itโs been a wild ride full of back-and-forths with the manufacturers, testing different materials and tweaking the details to get everything just right. We really want these plushies to be as special as you imagined when you backed them!
As for Peanut the Opossum plushie, we finally received the latest sample photos!
Phew โ that took quite a while to be sentโฆ ๐ฎโ๐จ And unfortunately, itโs still not quite there yet. There are a few important tweaks we still need to make before itโs ready for the spotlight ๐๐
But weโd love to hear what you think of it so far! Your feedback can help us spot things we mightโve missed!
As for the timeline: If everything stays on track and the manufacturer finishes the plushies currently in production by the end of May as they said, weโre aiming to start shipping the ready items in early July.
Shipping times by sea can be quite long โ sometimes over 30 days โ so that part will largely depend on how fast everything gets to us. . Of course, weโll keep you posted if anything changes โ weโre committed to delivering the best possible plushies, even if it means a bit more waiting.
Thanks as always for your endless patience and support.๐๐ Weโre getting there โ one little step at a time!
Stay tuned & take care,
