All surveys have been sent to Backer emails! Please complete the survey by December 1st. If you did not receive the survey and you backed the campaign, you can request to send another survey to yourself here: https://creature-cafe.backerkit.com/
Preorder store is open for folks who did not back the campaign - it is available until November 25th. Please note this is like buying from an online store and funds are charged within 1-2 days, though your address can be changed before the order ships sometime (currently expected) in the spring. :)
Thank you again!! Nicole/munespice
PS - There was an issue where UK folks could not select their country. This should be resolved now. Reminder that UK folks will pay shipping/VAT closer to when items are shipped through my website: munespice.com.
For folks who didn't get a chance to back the campaign: I got the preorder store up and running over here! The preorder store is for folks who did not back the campaign and would still like to preorder the items. The freebie postcard is not included in preorders, but the prices are still the campaign prices. The estimated shipping for preorders is April 2025. Preorder store will close Monday, November 25th @ 9PM PT.
For folks who did back the campaign: Surveys are coming soon! I have the surveys all created, but Backerkit is currently reviewing my work to double check everything is all good. Once they are approved, I will send a smoke test of the surveys, meaning to just a small, random group of backers. After that, all the surveys can go out! I still estimate the surveys to go out by the end of this weekend, but will once again update y'all when they're out.
Woohoo! Thank you so much!! Have a great rest of your week. Nicole/Munespice
This will be final update during the campaign since it ends tonight!! It will end at 9pm Pacific Time - about 11 hours from now.
What's next? In the 24 hours after the campaign ends, Backerkit will charge payment methods for pledge totals. If payment does not go through for whatever reason, Backerkit will automatically retry over the next couple weeks. It takes about 2 weeks for everything to go through on my end - and all this needs to happen before surveys can be sent - so I estimate surveys (to select pin/lanyards designs, add things, pay for shipping) will go out the week of November 11th. I also hope I will have the Latt-ray sample before then!
Thank you all so so much!! I'm beyond happy about how this campaign turned out! Nicole
We have just over a week left of the campaign, and thanks to all of you, all of our stretch goals have been unlocked, hooray! In review, all of the original bags/pouches, pins, the 2 lanyards, sticker sheet, and magnet have been unlocked. We also unlocked the free Breb wrist lanyard for all Brebs and the Latt-ray bag! These bags can be added as add-ons to pledges, and the sample will be coming soon (though, as I have mentioned before, I don't think the sample will be completed before the campaign ends).
I didn't have too much else planned for the campaign because if there are additional funds, I am hoping to invest those to make cute touches to the packaging! So what's next? Over the next week, I will be sharing more posts on social media showing the creatures. Reminder that the campaign ends on October 22nd and that funds from the pledges will be collected by Backerkit at that time.
Thank you so so much for all of your support! I am excited to keep updating y'all about these guys <3
Thank you all so much for voting in the poll for the type of bag we will have for Latt-Ray! The plush crossbody bag won with 53% of the votes! So today, I am sharing the design for the bag that I am working on getting the sample for - she will be the same soft plush material as the other plush in the campaign. We are currently less than $400 away from unlocking this new back (yay!!) so I have gone ahead and made her available as an add-on for any current or future backers of other pledge tiers. Once we unlock her, I will add the bag as a tier on its own. (Note that this bag can be added onto the souvenir tier, but does not come with that tier automatically.)
Thank you all so so so much for supporting this campaign!! I am so happy that the little creatures can connect with folks and come to the real world. <3

P.S. It is unlikely the sample will be complete during the campaign period but the final bag should be pretty close to this mockup - I will convey all updates as we go!
P.S.S. If anyone is affected by the hurricane today, hope you and yours are safe!
