It’s Survey Time! 💌
Hi Backers Frens!
We have great news: ALL surveys have been sent out!
The Smoke Test went smoothly, and now everyone should have their personal link waiting in their inbox! ...
Today we finally received the very first photos of the Constellation Bear plush sample from our manufacturer — and we just had to share them with you right away!! 🥹
Take a look at this little starry bean!!
🎥 Psst! — Don’t miss the videos! We know it’s a tiny extra step (they’re not embeddable directly here, sadly 😔), but please do check out the two video links below — the plush looks even better than in photos! You’ll be able to see more details, get a better sense of the shape, and yes… one of the videos even shows Constellation Bear naked without the sweater!! 🌟🐻
Bonus: the one with the sweater on was also filmed under natural daylight, so you get the most accurate view of the colors and textures too! 👀✨
We’ll most likely make a couple tweaks on a few details (especially some shape-refinement for the star on the forehead), but we’re already SO in love with how it turned out. The deep blue fur, the embroidered mini stars on the head and ears, and the little constellation on the sweater… it’s giving soft cosmic magic just as we wanted! 🤩✨ Can't wait to put our hands on it!
What do you think so far? Do you like how this little star chaser sample turned out? Do you have any suggestions?! Let us know in the comments — we love hearing your thoughts!
What’s next? We’re currently working on the plush sheets for Clown Bear, 90’s Bear, and Many Thoughts Bear (who, we remind you, was just officially unlocked!). Once those sheets are completed, their first samples for them will begin as well — one step closer to bringing the full squad to life! 😎
🎨 Pin production prep is underway! While we wait for the next plushie samples, we’re also hard at work behind the scenes on the enamel pins — making vector files, choosing Pantone colors for each detail, finalizing dimensions, and preparing everything the manufacturer needs to start production
We’re making sure each pin stays true to our original designs while also being optimized for the enamel process (so things like line thickness and color placement are extra important!). It’s a bit of a puzzle, and it takes time since every step is on our shoulders — but we’ve been doing this for years, and we’re on it 💪🧩✨
>We’re also carefully deciding which manufacturer to work with for the pins, as we want to make sure the final result lives up to our quality standards and responses are not extremely delayed this time (especially after all the hiccups you know we had in our previous projects). We’re taking no shortcuts — just the safest and most reliable path for these bb bears to shine! ✨
We’ll keep you posted once we get the first pin proofs or photos
---
We’ll share more in general as soon as we get further updates — for now, we hope you love these first Constellation Bear photos and videos as much as we do!
Let us know what you think in the comments! Stay tuned for more plushie progress very soon~
We wanted to drop by with some fresh updates now that we’ve officially locked all surveys and charged cards — thank you so much to everyone who finalized their orders in time! 💳✨
👉 Still 30 surveys left to complete! If you haven’t submitted your survey yet, please do so as soon as possible! 🐻💌 We’re now finalizing item counts to place our orders with the manufacturers, and it’s crucial that we have everyone’s responses at this stage — surveys submitted too late may no longer be eligible for fulfillment. So please don’t wait! 🙏
💳 Payment issues – action needed! A few of the card charges we issued have failed — this sometimes happens due to expired cards, insufficient funds, or payment provider errors.
👉 If you received a failed payment notification, please update your payment method as soon as possible! You can do this directly via your BackerKit survey link.
⚠️ Please note: If the payment isn’t successfully processed, your pledge will be considered cancelled, meaning you won’t receive any rewards. In some cases, if resolved later, it may be possible to restore it — but fulfillment could be delayed significantly, or even no longer possible once production is underway.
If you're having trouble updating your payment method, please reach out to BackerKit Support directly — unfortunately, we’re not able to help with payment processing ourselves 💬
And if your card should work but is still getting declined, please contact your bank as soon as possible — sometimes this happens due to currency differences (USD vs EUR) or because it’s flagged as a foreign transaction 🌍💳
>We’d really love to make sure every bear finds its way home in the end, so please check in if you're affected! 🐻💌
🧠🐻 Many Thoughts Bear plush unlocked!
We ended up giving a little more time than initially planned to make sure as many of you as possible could jump in before locking everything… and we’re really glad we did, because we reached a milestone we were secretly hoping for:
17 Many Thoughts Bear plushies have been ordered! While it didn’t quite hit the 25-unit goal, this bear is incredibly dear to us, and we truly want to bring them to life — so we’ve decided to consider them officially unlocked anyway! 🎉 This means Many Thoughts Bear plush is going into production, and we couldn’t be happier 💜
On the other hand, the 🧪🐻 Toxic Bear enamel pin, despite winning the last poll here on BK, only got 6 orders total, so unfortunately it won’t be produced. If you had it in your cart, you haven’t been charged for it Also, if Toxic Bear had been unlocked, we were going to reveal and add another Bear enamel pin to the post-campaign unlockables lineup before closing the surveys… but it wasn’t meant to be this time!
🧢🎀 Bonus accessory news! Even though they didn’t quite reach their initial 30-order goal, we’ve decided to unlock both the Indigo Bear Hoodie and the Red Ribbon accessories anyway as well — we’ll be covering the extra cost ourselves because we really loved the idea of getting them made 🥺💜 It’s always nice to have a little extra outfit option to swap with the base bear sweaters — and we figured Patchwork Bear, being our only completely nudie bear 👀, might appreciate some extra wardrobe choices too! hehe ✂️🧵✨ So if you ordered them: great news, you’re getting them! 🎉
💻 Pre-Order Store still open! If you missed the campaign or want to grab something extra, the Pre-Order Store is still open for a little while — at least until we move from pre-production to the juicy production stages 🧵🐾 So there’s still a chance to sneak in!
🧸 Sample progress update! We’re now preparing the design sheets for the plush samples of:
🤡 Clown Bear
📼 90’s Bear
🧠 Many Thoughts Bear (just added!)
Meanwhile, we just heard from our manufacturer that the Constellation Bear plush sample is (finally 😭) almost ready — and they’ll be sending us photos and videos soon! We’re beyond curious to see how it turned out and can’t wait to share it with you all 🌟🐻 Fingers crossed it’s already as magical as we hoped! 👀💫
Thanks again for being on this adventure with us — more updates very soon! 💖
We’re almost ready to go full speed into production – yay!
Surveys will be locked and cards charged in 3 business days, so if you need to make any last-minute changes, now’s the time!
This will allow us to finalize the count of items selected by backers and proceed with our official order to the manufacturers.
Next in Line: 90’s Bear and Clown Bear Samples Coming! And since we’ve officially unlocked both 90’s Bear and Clown Bear, we’ll be sending both their samples into production right away too!!! 🥹 We’re so excited to see them come to life as well, and can’t wait to share progress pics with you!
The Pre-order Store will remain open for some time, so for all those who missed the campaign, there’s still a chance to grab any preferred bears!
More updates coming soon – stay cozy and bear-y excited!
