Hi there friends and thank you so much for funding my campaign so successfully! I have a few things to discuss as we move onto our production period!
First off, funds should have been taken from your payment methods this morning. 19 of you have had their payment method declined - if it’s not fixed in the next week, your pledge will drop and you won’t be eligible for your discounted plush, free coin, early bird/collab rewards and free 100 backer pin reward. Those of you with failed payments should receive correspondence from Backerkit with information on how to correct it!
Speaking of 100 backer pin reward, I’ve completed the design. This pin will be 1.5”, Pantone dyed with partial glow in the dark! Every pledge will receive one of these pins.
Next up, surveys. Some campaigns you’re backing may already be sending out surveys for you to choose your items.
Because I’m still working on samples for Moonless and Kalev, I do not know their unit cost and therefore can’t price them accurately to account for time labour and materials. Once they’re complete, surveys will be going out immediately after.
Speaking of Moonless, I’ve received the first draft of her plush!
First drafts are always a little rough looking, so the next steps are:
- neck shorter and head angled lower - grey face and paws - longer fur on body - mane lengthened to chest back and legs - teeth 3d, not embroidered
I receive my funds in 2 weeks which is when Pocketcat will go into full production. He’ll first go through a pre-production sample, when any changes I want to the sample will be made.
Right now, Pocketcat is made of a very short fur. I was thinking you guys might prefer if he had some more plush to him. My manufacturer stocks a ‘small rabbit fur’ (not actual rabbit fur!) that I thought may be better for him.
Here is a picture of the fur I could use, on Moonless: And here is an example of his existing fur.
I’ll attach a poll below for people to decide what I try for his next sample! I’ll poll again once we see the results to make sure it’s what people want!
Thank you again for your support and I can’t wait to start making these silly little guys for you 💖
