Project Update: Almost there + big news coming!

Hi, all! 

We are 75% done and working hard to finish fulfillment by the end of the month! There is a chance that fulfillment may bleed into November since Rio and me got sick at NYCC and needed to take the week off to recover. Good news is that we are feel better and so excited to get back to work! 

When will my package ship?


As a reminder, you will receive an email from Backerkit when your rewards have been shipped! The email will be titled: 

Your items for Anxiety Fox Pocket Friends Plush Toys! have shipped!

The email will contain your tracking number! Please allow up to 2-3 days to see movement on the tracking. Rio and me ship in batches and once we finish each batch, we drop off each back at the post office. This way, we work much faster and see "small wins" each time! It is super effective for us.

I am an overseas backer and noticed that the package was delivered to Illinois, USA but I do not live in the USA.. help!

Don't worry! The package was delivered to a sorting facility and will begin its journey to you. At the sorting facility, your package will generate a tracking number that matches your local postal service. Be sure to follow the tracking with "AHOY" infront of it, with the email provided in the tracking email, and NOT the USPS tracking!

When will everything be available online?


Pocket Friends and the remaining accessories will go online on November 4th! Since we fell behind due to getting sick, we wanted to give us more time to prepare for the launch. As a reminder, you can sign up for the mailing list over at our shop at hellostrays.com ! The shop will also close on November 1st in order to prepare for the grand re-opening :) 


New Colors coming soon.. !


We are currently working on new colors for the next batch of Pocket Friends that we are so excited for you all to see! The batch will also include new characters! We are shooting for a February launch date so stay tuned! The next update will show the available colors, that only backers (and Patrons) get to see.. so we hope you look forward to it!

Thank you all so much again for supporting! You are all so wonderful! I am catching up to emails so thank you for your patience! :)

Project Update: 60% Fulfillment done + NEW Pocket Friends Character

Hi, all!

We are 60% done with fulfilling all rewards, yay! Our plans are to finish fulfilling before the end of the month, so that can give packages more time to arrive for the holidays. Once we are 100% finished, I will make an other update! :) 

All packages are fulfilled by my twin sibling and me and we are working as fast as we can. We really appreciate your patience!

🌸 When are Pocket Friends for sale online??


They are tenatively available online November 1st through my online shop! It is currently undergoing a makeover.. yay! In addition to the Pocket Friends plush toys and accessories, the remainder of the other items like keychains, pins, lanyards.etc will be available as well. Other items will be available then as well and I will make a catalogue once I make the next update!

🌸 New Pocket Friends Character!


A new character enters the Pocket Friends line of plush toys.. Wolf! Wolf is a new character and it makes me so happy that they resonated with so many people. I already put in a bulk order for these plush toys so I anticipate them selling out fast! Again, the exact date + time will be revealed in a week or two.


🌸 Discord! Make New Friends!


A reminder that we have a friendly and small discord where you can chat with new friends, get emotional support, early Anxiety Fox news, and more. You can also share photos of your Pocket Friends there <3

My toys arrived today and they are so adorable! I look forward to when the accessories are available in the shop because my daughter believes that one of each to share among our pocket friends is not enough, and she is right! (The big one will be a holiday present she doesn’t even know about!) Thank you for such a fun and adorable product. They are so soft and the little adoption certificate is so cute. Great campaign!
