🎉🎊 WE DID IT - THANK YOU!! 🎊🎉
over 1 year ago – Fri, Feb 14, 2025 at 12:48:41 PM

Hey Wild Ones!



💘 HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! 💘 

And with that... the Plushpanions Series 2: Eclipse Pals campaign is officially over! 🎊🎉


A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible! Whether you shared, contributed, or cheered us on, you’ve helped bring Monty and Laisy to life! 🥳🎉



🔓 Plush Unlocks 🔓

Together, we successfully funded Monty Mothman and unlocked a bonus plush design - Laisy Luna Moth!

Once Laisy's plush prototyping begins, I’ll be sharing Behind-the-Scenes photos every step of the way! Their design is similar to Monty’s, except for wing shapes and fur lengths, so I’m hoping for a quick turnaround on samples, but only time will tell!



📊 Fabled Friends Poll 📊

There are just 3 days left to vote on the unlocking order for the Fabled Friends campaign ( Series 3 )!

I say "upcoming" loosely - because there’s a lot of work to do before launch ( namely, creating plush prototypes! ). These are complex designs, and I won’t rush them.


🔥 Our biggest poll turnout yet: 67 votes! 🔥 Golan and Griff are neck-and-neck - who will come out on top? 👀

Current Results:


💀 More Moths! 💀

Since the start of this project, I’ve received so much love for Dottie! From fellow Halloween lovers ( like myself ) to those who simply appreciate spooky things. To that I say: don’t worry, Dottie will be made!

Dottie will be the sole focus of a future project! 🎃 I’m not sure yet if it will be before or after Series 3, but I do know I want to give everyone time to recover from the massive Pintopia success - so Dottie gets the best chance to shine!



📝 What to Expect Next 📝

📬 Surveys – March 3rd 📬
~
BackerKit surveys will be sent around March 3rd. This is how you’ll:
✅ Confirm your plush selections
✅ Add any extra Add-Ons
✅ Provide shipping details

Surveys are sent two weeks after the campaign ends to allow BackerKit time to process payments.


🎨 Production Timeline 🎨
~
🔹 March 10th: Production begins for pins, stickers, and other non-plush items.
🔹 Early Spring: Monty's plush production starts! Just a few tiny prototype tweaks ( so small most wouldn’t notice - but I have a very specific vision! 👁️👁️ ).
🔹 After Monty’s prototype is finalized: Laisy’s prototyping begins, with Behind-the-Scenes updates along the way!
🔹 July ( Tentative ): Monty plush shipments begin! 🚚💨 ( This may shift, so keep an eye on BackerKit updates. )
🔹 Laisy shipments will follow shortly after! I don’t have an exact estimate yet, but I’ll keep you posted every step of the way.


💚 THANK YOU! 💚

This was my second-ever crowdfunding campaign, and my first with a completed plush stretch goal! I couldn’t have done this without you, and I can’t wait for all the adventures ahead. 💚

Best,
L

🚨 6 Hours Left - Save Laisy! 🚨
over 1 year ago – Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 07:37:14 AM

🚨 Hello, Wild Ones! 🚨


I have an important update to share. In crowdfunding, it’s natural for backers to adjust their pledges for various reasons. While this is part of the process, sometimes it can affect our unlocked goals.

Right now, we’ve dipped just below the funding needed for Laisy - but with 6 hours left, there’s still time to reach the goal again and bring them to life! If you’ve been considering adjusting your pledge or sharing the campaign one last time, now is the moment!

Let’s save Laisy! 💚✨

🎊 3 Days Left - Laisy is Practically Unlocked! 🎊
over 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 10, 2025 at 10:44:32 AM

Hey Wild Ones!

I'm here with poll results, our newest poll for Fabled Friends, and a reminder that there are just 3 days left to pledge! Laisy is practically unlocked - let's go!!



🦉 Owlbear Winner! 🐻

After tallying 55 votes, our official Oswin Owlbear is Version A! I'm really looking forward to this challenging plush design, as it will be my first time translating both feathers and fur into a single plush!



📊 Next Poll - Who's First? 📊

Rather than deciding the Fabled Friends unlock order myself, I want your voice to be heard! The character with the most votes will be first in line to unlock in Series 3: Fabled Friends, followed by the second highest, third, and so on. So - who’s your favorite? Which character stands out as the one you’d love to see unlocked first?

Remember, the Series 3 campaign will be a little different, where clothing and accessories will be separate from the character's themselves. You can customize your class! Thus, this vote is purely about who is your favorite creature.

🦅 Heather Hippogriff 🐴



🦅  Griff Gryphon 🦁



⚫ Gnolan Gnoll ⚫



🦉 Oswin Owlbear 🐻



🐺 Wesley Werewolf 🐺




🐲 Digby Dragon 🐲




Voting ends February 17th at 12 PM PST - this poll is open to everyone, so get your votes in!

🎊📢 NEW PLEDGE LEVELS ADDED - 6 Days Left!! 📢🎊
over 1 year ago – Fri, Feb 07, 2025 at 10:08:18 AM

Hello Wild Ones!!


This project has been an absolute whirlwind! I'll admit - after pouring so much time and energy into preparing for launch, I thought growth would naturally follow. But as I’ve quickly learned, crowdfunding is an ongoing effort, and I’m still learning every step of the way! There’s always room for growth, improvement, and change…

Which is why I’m excited to announce that much-needed new pledge levels have been added! Many of you asked for pledge options that don’t include a plush, and I hear you loud and clear! Here’s what’s new:



🎊📢 NEW PLEDGE TIERS 📢🎊

  • Kidd Krampus (silver metal)

That’s it for the new pledge levels! A huge thank you for always sharing your thoughts and honest feedback - not just on this campaign, but on all of them. Your input helps shape Plushpanions, and together, we keep improving! 💚 Now, on to poll updates!
