Hi everyone, We are just 3 days away from the end of the campaign! I'm excited to see what the final push of backers puts the campaign funding at. I'm also eager to start moving on production and fulfillment when the campaign wraps up this Saturday evening.
______________________________
Current Status:
At the time of writing this, we are at 89 backers with a total funding of $9,944! This is a great amount and beyond the initial project goal. Thanks to everyone who has helped to push the project this far!
With that in mind, there is still a chance to unlock the resin figure. The figure unlocks at $13,000. That's the equivalent of about 25 more backersat the standard plush & pin tier to unlock the figure!
As an additional bonus, if we can reach the $13,000 stretch funding for the figure, I will add a copy of the Haruki sticker sheet, a $12 value, to all backer's pledges for free~
If you haven't backed yet or were on the fence and cancelled your pledge, these next 3 days will be your last chance to lock in a Haruki plush and some additional merch at campaign rates!

Post Campaign:
Once the campaign is finished, pledge manager surveys will be drafted and sent out to all the backers of the project. You will be able to select which pin version and which sticker(s) you would like bundled with your order if applicable. I will set a week long window to finish the survey, so please have them back by the following Saturday.
The Wednesday following that I will be locking in survey responses and collecting funds by charging the card you have on file for your pledge amount. Please make sure the card on file is valid ahead of time.

That's about it for this update. I'm looking forward to messaging you all again when the campaign finishes. Thank you all for your consideration and support! ❤️ 🌸
This update is going out to give some extra details on the stretch goal for the resin figure. Originally I had planned for the figure to be within a certain price range as a backer option. However, to be able to offer the figure at that price point, I would have to place a rather large order with my manufacturer. This is why the original stretch goal was at $25,000.
Since we're past the first major week of funding, I have considered the current funding amount and where we might be by the end of the campaign through BackerTracker analysis. I don't think it's likely we would reach the $25,000. Because of this, I am lowering the stretch goal to $13,000 to reflect the lowest funding needed for the smallest amount of figures that can be ordered. For your benefit, the figures will be offered at their cost to produce.
If we can reach the $13,000 stretch goal, the figures will be available for $60 each. I think we can make the stretch goal if we continue with a few new backers a day.
I appreciate all your support in getting the project up to its base goal and beyond so far! Any other updates I will be sure to post about here. Looking forward to the finish line at the end of the month!
A big thank you to everybody who has pledged so far; With your help, we have just recently met the project goal amount! Haruki and their accessories are fully funded and will go into production after the project completes and after a couple small revisions are finalized~
So what's next?
There is one stretch goal for the project. It is for the resin mini figure of Haruki. While it is still a ways off at $25,000, maybe we could reach the funding for it. If you can share the project around, every pledge helps bring us closer to the stretch goal! The stretch goal would unlock the mini figure as well as two new bundle pledge tiers to get all backer item options at a discounted rate.
Haruki Figure - Our manu did a great job with a clean and detailed paint job on our model!
At the time of writing this, there are still 3 early bird slots available to get your Haruki plush (and free pin!) at a discount from the standard backer price. So if you haven't backed yet, there's still time for a few to lock in an early bird option.
Thank you all again so so much for your support! It means the world to me to be able to share my creations with a community that really enjoys them. Wishing you all the best~
