The day you have all been waiting for is here! I've actually had anky pics for a while and they were posted in the discord, but I've been waiting to get Utah too so I could show them both off!!
Here's the second version of Anky and my changes! The next one should be golden. I also requested that all of his spikes (face and body) be stuffed!
And here's the only pic of Utah I have- my manufacturer has been directly communicating changes for me so I haven't needed to draw them!
He'll get his spots later on once the shape is where it should be :)
I know we were also waiting on a couple other plush to be finalized so here they are;
And as a reminder, I regularly update the project story with new prototype photos as soon as I get them, and I also post them in the discord for feedback! That's all I have for the plushies for now but I'm really hoping we'll have them all finalized within the next 3 ish weeks. Also, a bunch of the samples were mailed to me and they'll be delivered tomorrow!!! I'll be taking lots of pictures of them for the discord, and professional pictures for the website! They'll all be posted to the project story when I have time.
And lastly, a small update about keychains! They're live for for preorder on my website varmintfeathers.com at $8 each!! We're just waiting for the art for Diplodocus to be completed, and then after a round of samples they'll start shipping out! Right now they're expected to ship in the beginning of May! There will also be a new double-sided keychain for the extinct mammals campaign- the triassic cuddle :3
This means we're approximately a month to a month and a half away from them being shipped to me, and about two months from shipping starting!!!! Surveys are going well I think we're close to 70% of them being done! If you opted for pay in four, you won't get your survey until your balance is fully paid. Also, if you bought any addons or from the preorder store, you will be charged for those extras a little bit after I lock surveys! There will be a 48 hour notice before locking (no more edits, but I can unlock if u need me to), and charging! I hope everyone is hanging in there and has something to look forward to this week :) Much love from Varmintfeathers!
OH AND ALSO!! DeinoC's claws are made of soft fabric like his face/hands/feet now! Theri will get the same change

Hey y'all, surveys have finally gone out!! They will get locked once every plush is finalized and the bulk order has been placed. You'll get a 48 hour notice before locking happens so you can make any last minute changes, and then after that any remaining balance on your pledge will be charged (e.g. if you bought more plushies during your survey). I believe you'll get another 48 hour notice prior to this charge.
SHIPPING -> As stated in the campaign, shipping will be charged closer to when the plushies are arriving, and I will make sure everyone knows when it gets added to your order and when it gets charged!
NEXT PROJECT -> The roster for the next project has been decided, here it is! You can follow my next project here
And finally, a website update! The stickers offered in this campaign are now available to purchase on my website varmintfeathers.com ! The keychains I've been working on will be available there too when they're done. Currently we're halfway there, and I'm hoping to have them done and ready by the end of the month. Here's the next of the keychain dinos, Maiasaura
Hey guys! Small update this time around. As far as the next project, voting for the 28" plush has ended, but voting for 18" plush has just opened! You can find a link to the form in the project's updates here -> link
I had Backerkit review my surveys and I need to overhaul some stuff and I'm not sure how to do it. I'm waiting for a support response that should hopefully come Monday, so surveys should start going out Monday evening!
I also have a couple sample updates;
Deinocherius! Just one more round of changes and he SHOULD be finalized! I asked about redesigning the hands of Deino and Theri so they can have minky claws instead of felt and they said they will try!
And Mosasaurus! He is now finalized :)
There's videos of both of those plush in my discord server also -> link
Extinct mammals and others won the vote for the next campaign! As of right now, I have our launch tentatively set for June 15th! Here's a link to the project so y'all can follow along from the very beginning -> link
My suggestions box is open for suggestions for the plush roster for this campaign! I'll be doing a popular vote for the 28" guys first, then the 18" ones. I'm also hoping to include some new stickers, acrylic keychains, and a plush keychain or two! Here's the first official plush concept for the project; a plush keychain Tiktaalik!! You can add your own suggestions here -> link
Other information; Surveys are going to start going out at the end of this week to a few people first so I can make sure they're working right, and then to everyone! My manufacturer will return from their holiday break this Monday, so prototype pics should start flowing again and hopefully we can get Utah and Anky rolling then too. There's no rush on filling out surveys either, and you can go back and edit them anytime up until I lock orders when the bulk shipment is close to arriving to me, hopefully sometime in may. The pre-order store will be open for four more days as of me writing this! This is for anyone who missed out on the original campaign, and there's a link here -> link. I should also have my webstore live on my website varmintfeathers.com here in the next 4-6 weeks with the campaign's stickers, as well as some KEYCHAINS!!! Here's the art of the first keychain; Velociraptor! All of the keychains will be doublesided with the flesh and blood animal on one side, and it's skeleton on the other! I think I'm going to price them around $7 :) The art is being done by the lovely Dopscratch!
And finally, here's the pool of options so far for the roster! Throwing this here so we don't get repeat suggestions XD
