Hi friends! Just a reminder that the surveys and preorders close the 14th! If you did pay in 4 and are waiting to make your last payment, no worries! You can still submit your survey whenever the last payment is made, just please know you can not edit it once it has been submitted. Finally...here are all the sugarbeans in my hand!
As well as a super tiny production update: hand tags!! I'll make another announcement once they lock, and I plan on charging preorders August 15th, and the survey shipping/add on in late August, once the pals finish production. Thanks everyone!
Hi friends! Really happy to announce all the plush samples are finally finished, so I'll share baby Melon & The rat twins photos at the end! Additionally, all pals are currently in production. They have been for around 2 weeks now - so they should be finishing up in the next 3-4 weeks, then they will ship to me.
Since the samples are finally all finished - surveys and preorder shops will be closing Friday, August 14th. Any preorder shop orders placed with a debit/credit card will be charged August 14th. Survey add-ons and shipping that was placed wiith a debit/credit card will tentatively be charged end of August. I'll make an announcement closer to when they do and give a week warning! If you don't have the funds at the moment, don't worry- you will have time to fix payments up until fulfillment ends, which may be as late as January. Finally, here are the updated sugarbean samples we've been waiting on!
Sugarbean Melon Sample
Candy Sample
Cotton Sample
If you are unhappy with the outcome of these samples and you purchased any of these babies, feel free to contact backerkit support and they can remove them for you. Thank you everyone for your continued trust, you'll hear from me again once the plushies are finished being made!
Hi pals! It's been a minute, but I wanted to share some updates! Firstly, I've been working on Cotton and Candy a little bit behind the scenes. To be honest, I haven't been satisfied with their turnout so far and am contemplating finding another manufacturer to make them. This would mean production for the two Cotton & Candy may be delayed by a few weeks at most, but it wouldn't affect the others! Either way, here's some update photos:
..and here's an edit I made for Cotton (The blue rat) To hopefully make the face feel a little less guinea pig But I'm still not super satisfied and after this round of edits, but I think I need to see them in person too. Let me know your thoughts! And please don't worry if you don't like them, I encourage everyone to wait til they're finalized, but you can always remove them. Just contact backerkit support!
PRODUCTION IS STARTING! The Sugarbell Pals (Non Sugarbeans) Are beginning to go into production. I'm having an abundance of plushies made, so please don't worry if you haven't filled out your survey yet, there will be more than enough for everyone to choose the pals they would like to receive. That's it for now! I'll make another announcement when preorders & surveys close, but for now that's estimated for late July-early August. <3
Hi friends! So happy to announce that surveys are officially rolling out! They will remain open for a little while, so don't worry if you're indecisive!
Pay in 4 friends: You will not receive your surveys until after the last payment is made. You will be able to fill the survey out after the last payment! ^_^
What's the current timeline? -Surveys will remain open while I receive the last few finalized plushies. - The bulk plushies will begin production by July 1st. - Bulk production will take 1-2 months, so will finalize by August-September. - Overseas shipping will take 1 month, so I should receive them by October to begin fulfillment. Please note I am still aiming to have everything finished by January. The timelines can change, so that estimate gives us a healthy amount of wiggle room!! And for making it this far, here are some updated pal photos!
Check out the Preorder store HERE!!!!!!!!!!(If you already pledged via the campaign, please wait until surveys come out to add on extra friends! Otherwise you will receive two separate packages.) Hi Sugarbell Pal gang!! So so excited to share some updated photos of the pals. Please note Ube's outfit is not finished yet. Puppermint (FINAL SAMPLE! Except for adding her pants bow lol)
they forgot the pants bow it will be added!!
look at that soft chonky belly!!!
Next: Ube!!!!!!! Pls note her outfit is not finalized. there is paper where they will print the actual design!
So Ube's outfit has little slots for her wings. I asked my manu for a photo of someone else wearing it, just to see how much they'd show up. It doesn't look bad so I think we will keep the wing holes!!
