A lot of you expressed interest in a more saturated Rainbow Dragon with a black accent so after some designing, I've come up with two that might work! The Pastel Rainbow prototype is still in the works and will be revealed ASAP, but for a farther stretch goal (though we may have already earned it at the rate things are going ahhh), what do you guys think of these?
Black Belly Rainbow
Rainbow Belly Rainbow
The choice would be between Black Belly Rainbow and Rainbow Belly Rainbow with options up in the air for the horns being either Silver or Gold laser fabric for that extra sparkle~
We're only two days till Christmas, and it's been HECTIC! As I'm preparing our Christmas Dinner, Casey and Trixie have been spending some cozy time sharing holiday stories together. Wintertime may be a bit cold for that popular white rabbit yogurt we all loved as kids, but Trixie is determined to make a warm dessert for everyone!

Are you ready for the holidays? We hope you are, and that you are warm and happy, wherever you may be.
And for those who are curious... We're currently prototyping the wristies and snuggie outfit already. How exciting! Very Huggable Softies launches next month, so be sure to follow our campaign if you haven't already! I'll have more updates as soon as I get them.
You may have guessed it... You may have voted on it... You may have even seen it in a dream...
But you guys have gone so quick that we will be unlocking the promised Limited Edition Dragon likely as soon as the prototype is finished up sometime this week!!
BEHOLD!!!!
RAINBOW DRAGON
With silvery sparkle laser fabric horns and claws and a pastel palette, the Rainbow Dragon will be available in both Warmable and Weighted varieties!
Once we hit $550,000 (which, woof, we're already so close to!) they will be unlocked as a color option at pledged ALL tiers for all varieties!
As to HOW limited edition it will be will be decided post-campaign when I have proper order numbers to work with. I wouldn't want to have a number stated and then cut people off from being able to choose it based on a premature estimate!
Additionally, I hope to make it a charity dragon for a LGBT-related non-profit organization, but that, too, will need to be decided at a later point especially once numbers are calculated based on order numbers, etc, but will update everyone when I know! :D
Hey friends, a really really fun update!!! The first batch of plushies hit the US 2 days ago! The second half will be here on the 22nd. Please note it will take at least 2 weeks for them to get through customs and move their way to me. But they're SO SO CLOSE!!!! Now is a good time to double check your addresses! Freebie stickers have also been ordered and are being made! So they will be here just in time along with the plushies. I can't wait for these guys to start heading home!
Hey all, Just a quick update before the holidays (which is literally upon us). I've finished our production counts, and finalizing our production quotes. (something like 2500 of all three kits, 3000 of owlbears, and lots and lots of pins over 2000!)
I recently just spoke to our manufacturer, and I am expecting that the samples are on their way for me to check out and review (likely hat, and fishing kit, and hopefully new shield, as well as the purple colors, finally). From there, it seems like we'd confirm and production would happen in Janurary, which would then put fulfillment probably out to march/april (we'll confirm that as production gets scheduled for freight). When I get the samples I'll post them right away! Thank you all for the support, and patience as we work through the manufacturers, and get these owlbears underway!
Merry Christmas and hope everyone has a jolly happy season, Andreas
is the fabric of the warmable wonders safe for the microwave? as from my understanding anything that is made of faux fur or similar is NOT microwave safe regardless of the certifications the manufacturer of the fabric has. i really really want one is why i'm asking.
also will there be a way to change the shipping address last minute? as i don't know where i will be living by then
Is anybody getting shipping tracking? The person in charge never responded to the other message. So I’m asking here. It’s been over a year since I’ve backed this backerkit, and it’s also been the first backer project I ever supported I also supported their second one. So I’m wondering is this typical of how backerkits are supposed to work? Is anyone else curious about this? I’m really trying to be patient, but they said shipping would start this week and it’s Saturday and I’ve not heard anything has anyone else? My spouse is getting upset, so wants me to ask if this is typical or if anyone else is getting anything. I’m getting worried.
Before we begin, I want to give a heads-up that there will be NO check-in next week! Next Wednesday is Christmas, so we will be busy celebrating with our friends & family that day. I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season! We will see you again on the 1st of the new year! 🎉🥳🎊
🌱 Cinder's first prototype is ready!
please note : the colors are a bit washed out in these photos!
Here's the first look at Cinder's plush! Cinder is looking so good for the first attempt! I think it's one of the best we have seen so far. The dual-toned grey fur was a secret feature I had in mind for Cinder, so I hope you love it as much as I do! ❤️
We only have a few small changes in mind, such as
make the ears smaller
make the eyes slightly larger
make the tail larger & adjust the markings/shape
please note : the colors are a bit washed out in these photos!
Overall, I don't think Cinder's look will change too much, so this prototype is a good idea of how they will look complete!
I know many of you in the Discord server are hoping for Cinder to have a poseable tail, but I want to avoid adding wire to any of my plush. In my opinion, wire takes away from the plush's snuggly feel, maximum cuddliness is a goal I have for Critterfolk!
🌱 Update on Honey's outfit!
The first sample for Honey's outfit is here! These photos also shows her true plush colors much better.
The colors used are looking so cute! I especially love how the shirt turned out. As some notes on changes, we will try different fabric (first samples are always done on minky for ease!) and I want to see if we can get some gathering / pleating added to her dress.
The shirt also shows the new velcro closure! It's baby velcro, meaning its extra soft, and its quite lowkey looking on the clothing. I think it looks great!
🌱 That's all for now folks! It was a short update today, but I'm sure we will have plenty more for you next time we check in! ❤️
As always, if you have any questions about your pledge or the survey you can comment below or email me at [email protected]!

Still making adjustments on this. Haven't gotten any updates for the other designs yet, but hopefully soon.
This doesn't have embroidery yet and I'm still unsure why the color hasn't changed (maybe just working on shapes I'm asking for first). Either way I want it a lot more brown than it currently is, so I'll get that sorted. I want the face fluff more 3d so I'll have them fix that as well. I do like the tail. It's so fluffy!
I know it's the holiday season and pledges have slowed but I expect they will pick back up after. Just a reminder no payments are due until January 16th (around most people's mid-month paychecks).
I also think visa gift cards can be used which is neat.

Happy holidays! ^_^
PS I am working on getting all my ducks in a row so I can mail to the EU as well.
