Project Update: Decision regarding Stretch Goals
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us! We really appreciate hearing from you. After carefully reviewing all the feedbacks and considering the situation, we made a decision. Despite the results of the poll, we've decided to stick with our original plan for the stretch goals.
We initially proposed that, simply because we wanted to do better, to make sure everyone was happy and had a variety of choices (with the current funds, at least 2 big plushies would have been unlocked anyway, and you would have been able to choose which ones to unlock!) Perhaps we could have even raised more funds in the end, unlocking something else. Many people still do not pledge unless their favorite items are unlocked.
That proposal also took into account those who have pledged for the bundle with a little bit of everything, including acrylic charms and pocket plushies. Which in the current situation (with things staying as they are) they could not receive other items but the big plushies (although extra credit can still be used in the survey for the shipping costs or for extra items to add later).
Just fyi, we couldn't make a change into the stretch goals order just after one day or a few days from launch. It's hard to predict how a campaign will progress (especially with the strong start this had), how much funding will come in next, and which things should be switched at start. These factors can only be evaluated after a good amount of time has passed.

>After seeing other creators make similar changes -switching goals- in their campaigns, we thought about doing it ourselves too, in this situation.
Also, turning this campaign into one focused only on big plushies and saving the other items for a future campaign, isn't something possible right now. Once a tier is pledged to, we can't remove it in any way... so those items have to stay available.
Strong words have been used towards us and we understand that our proposal may have stirred up strong emotions or anxiety for some of you (which was never our intention, especially in a campaign focused on providing emotional support).
As a result, we have decided to maintain everything as it is, and we will keep working to ensure that this campaign is the best it can be for all of you. Your support and understanding mean a lot to us in this situation!
We hope that you will still find joy in these goodies and that together we can overcome any challenges~
Thank you for being a part of this Cuddles&Snuggles journey so far. We appreciate your understanding, your valuable input and continued support!
Wish you a lovely Friday and weekend ahead in the meantime,
