Project Update: Large Frankencorgi Goals & Other Catchup
This is probably too much information for anyone new to me either way but here we go (and thank you to everyone who has supported me over these past several years)!
Frankencorgi Plush
I have an event in St Paul this Saturday as well (we'll see how that even goes given everything). I will bring the Frankencorgi samples with me if you're local and want to see them in person. Just know they will look better than what the samples show. They don't have the bolts (on the keychain) that the production version has and the larger corgi will have a custom fluff color (that is $1500 to make!!).

Realistically I just need ~$12,000 to get the large corgi produced. We're at $3k, which is just helping cover the costs I already spent on production for the hair claws ($1,200) and keychain plush ($7,700) that are currently in production while this runs. If we can at least raise that much, I can start production on the larger corgi.
Existing add-ons, stickers, people backing for the large plush over the keychains or backing for the larger Toby & keychain Toby will help with funding.
Add-ons
If there are add-ons or tiers you guys feel need to be added, please let me know! My husband has been out of state for two weeks for work and finally comes back today. I've kinda been scrambling and may have missed a few things on this since I've been busy outside of this as well. I can add additional hair claws once I finish inventory on those and other pins.
I can even add the paper clips if people want them. I made this dumb mistake where I wanted to save money and was like no, I can just count them myself and get tins or something. What a terrible idea lol. Paper clips stick together... Many regrets. I have 10,000 of those I have avoided, but I can add them if you guys want since it will help with funding and these already exist.
Nebula Flames & Flavors 2 & OG Piles of Plush
I have to catch up on some art this weekend that is very overdue from a pin project this summer. I know I usually fill projects pretty fast since I try and get the production/samples started in advance, so I am super sorry to people for two of my projects that have had different issues (sampling/irl issues)! The other Piles of Plush project is over half fulfilled since it was majority corgis and they are aware of sampling issues. If I can magically get any of the designs finalized before this ends, I'll let you guys add them on but for now I'm still pretty unhappy with them. I am going to let people swap their pledge for the large frankencorgi as well as long as it funds enough for me to cover the difference.
This is also why I want to have samples done for plush going forward instead of offering stretch goals because I was caught off guard by having so many issues with prototyping them.
I so badly wanted to add a Murphy Zombicorg to this but frankly, I didn't want to risk it also having sampling issues so it was safer to go this route. I'll be trying to prototype other dogs and corgis for future projects either way. Everyone has way more requests than I have money but I am trying!
I have already updated these projects earlier before this launched, but I will be grinding away on finalizing the art for this so I can get the remaining pins submitted with this project (since factories will be closed for CNY and would not be starting these any sooner).
Anyways I just wanted to be transparent.
Okay that's all for today! I gotta get to work. Stay safe and warm this weekend! <3
