Smoke test surveys sent!
Hello again, everyone!
Another mini update where I wanted to let it be known that smoke test surveys have been sent out, so be sure to check your inbox ...
Thank you so, so much from the bottom of our hearts for your constant support for our silly little cows!! 🐄
We've unlocked all stretch goals save for one, which was roughly €70 away from being unlocked! This is a relatively small amount to cover, so we'd like to announce that Sailor Moo's sticker set has also been unlocked, meaning ALL stretch goals are officially available!! 🥳🎉
So, what's next?
Everyone will get charged for their pledges within the next 24 hours now that the campaign has ended.
If your payment gets declined for whatever reason, BackerKit will keep retrying your pledge payment over the next couple of weeks, so please keep an eye out so that you don't miss out on your rewards and any goodies that comes with it!
It takes roughly 2 weeks for everything to be fully processed on our end, so we estimate to send out the surveys starting around November 18th! We'll make an update accordingly once we've sent out the smoke tests first, and then follow it up with the remaining surveys! Right now, it's basically just a waiting game until everything has been processed properly by BackerKit! 🥰
There will also be a pre-order period for people who missed out on the project but still wanted to get something, which will be done directly via BackerKit!
Mini FAQ
We wrote a mini Q&A update not long ago, but we'd like to add them to this updatet as well so that everyone can revisit this page! If there are any other questions, feel free to leave a comment and we'll get back to you ASAP!
🐄 How do I specify which characters I want?
The survey will give you all the options! For example, if you pledged for one plushie, you'll be shown all 4 available options and select whichever one you'd like. It's very easy and will include visuals for ease! Otherwise, you're free to contact us if you need any help. 😊
🐄 Can I add more items to my pledge when I'm filling out the survey?
Yes, you can!
You're free to add however many items you'd like to your initial pledge. Everything is unlocked, so all items are available for you to choose!
🐄 When will we get charged for shipping costs?
You can pay for the final shipping costs once you've been sent the survey!
🐄 Will these products become available in your shop?
Yes, they will eventually become available in our shop once we've fulfilled and shipped out all pledges!
🐄 When will the first plushie prototypes be shown for Moocha Latte & Sailor Moo?
Depending on how fast things get fully processed by the payment processing platforms and we get the funds, we estimate the first plushie prototypes for these two characters to be around mid to late December.
This can fluctuate depending on our manufacturer, but based on our previous experiences with them for Cherry and Cotton, we consider this a good estimation!
That's all!
Like we've said many times, we appreciate every single one of you who supported us in any shape or form: pledging, spreading the word, words of encouragement, it all means a lot and we're happy to be able to bring to life these cute items and see them be adopted by so many lovely folks. Thank you so, so much to everyone!!
We hope October has been treating you well, and that November will be even better. We'll see you again in the next update! ☕🍂 In the meantime, if you'd like to see more cuddly critters, feel free to follow us on social media or visit our online shop!
We also have a newsletter you can subscribe to where we occassionally send updates re: restocks, new launches, (eventual) future convention schedules, plus we always add a little cheeky, subscriber exclusive discount for you to enjoy with every update! ♡
We hope everything's been going well with you since we last saw you! It's been a while, but we finally have some updated samples for the Sailor Moo and Moocha Latte plushies.
In regards to survey deadlines, we'll be keeping it open until the start of March, so please double-check your choices before this!
PLUSHIES
They're updated with the intended minky fabric so certain design details are more visible. As mentioned last time, we'll be adjusting and refining them further now that we have a more precise vision of what they look like!
Their bowties in particular need some adjusting, as well as Moocha Latte's lil cream dollop! He styled it a little too generously, silly cow.
We're super happy with how the progress is coming along! They're both slowly starting to take shape to their final, lovingly pudgy form! 🐄💕
ENAMEL PINS
The enamel pins are all set to be put into production as well! Our manufacturers had an 8-day long break during the Chinese New Year and have come back a few days ago, so there has been a small period of time where product sampling and prototyping had to put on hold.
However, we're excited to share that the pins can finally be put into production, and we expect them to arrive at our office around late March/early April!
STICKERS
We're ready to ship out the rewards for the stickers-only pledges this month! 🎉 Please look forward to seeing your pledge get shipped out.
That's all for now!
Everything has become harder for everyone in the world the past month, with many uncertainties and unfortunate events thrown at us left and right without warning. However, please make sure to make time to give yourself a break. Have that one indulgent snack, read an exciting book, play your comfort game, rewatch your favorite series, have a fun time with your friends and loved ones... it is important to take care of yourself. 🥰
We hope 2025 has been treating you nicely so far! We're here to update everyone that the survey deadline will have an extension for an indefinite amount of time due to our manufacturer sending a prototype update but they acknowledged that their designer had forgotten to switch out the fluffy fabric for the minky fabric.
We can, however, show you some of the alterations done for the plushies as to how they look like right now! They are coming along super nicely, and will still need minor adjusting and some finishing touches, but they're getting very close! 🥰
We're still waiting for the next sample update as well as the color corrections for all of the enamel pins, so we'll post another update once we have more photos to show you all.
That's all for now! Have a great rest of your day.
This is just a small update reminding people to fill out the surveys before the end of the year. There's a handful who haven't filled it out yet, so be sure to do so so we can do an accurate count of all designs and assure you get the design you want without risking on missing out on it!
We always try to make sure to have extras to prevent such situations, but we'd like to avoid this risk as much as possible by having everyone's survey information in time.
Thank you so much! We hope everyone has had a merry Christmas/happy holidays! We also wish everyone a happy new year, and that it'll be a prosperous year full of health for all of you reading this! 🎉🎆
Hello everyone! We hope you've been having a good day!
We finally got some exciting stuff to show you! Our manufacturer has shared with us the first prototype sample of Moocha Latte and Sailor Moo, as well as the enamel pins, sticker sets, and sticker sheet!
Before we get into it, if you haven't answered your survey yet, please do so before the end of the year! There are still a handful of people who haven't gotten to answer their surveys just yet.
FIRST PROTOTYPE PLUSHIE SAMPLES
Please keep in mind that these are *NOT* THE FINAL PRODUCT, as these are the very first samples and will need refining and adjusting!
KEY NOTES:
They accidentallly used the wrong fabric (fluffy fabric like Cotton's) when they're supposed to have thes same minky fabric used for Cherry. This will be corrected in the next sample update!
Minor adjustments will be made, such as Moocha Latte's tail and dollop of cream on his head, as well as Sailor Moo's bowtie and a fuller hat, amongst other details!
Other than that, the bulk of the design is done and it's just smoothing out some rough edges! 😊
Sticker Sets & Cherry Sticker Sheets
We also received all of the stickers! These are printed beautifully and are so nice and soft to the touch!
Enamel Pins
The samples are finished and finally here!
There are some minor color adjustments that we want to make, such as Sailor Moo's blue coat markings, especially considering sometimes manufacturer photos don't capture the colors quite as well due to lighting's influence, but overall the pins are pretty much solid otherwise!! We're so excited!!
That's all for now! We hope the month of December has been going well for you so far, and we'll see you in the next update! Lots of love, Swamphy
