We did it!! Monty Mothman has officially reached his funding goal—with 10 days to spare! I can’t thank you all enough for believing in this project and bringing Monty to life. Your support, enthusiasm, and love have truly made this possible!
⚔️ Poll results! ⚔️
The votes are in, and Series 3 will officially be called... Fabled Friends! 🏰✨
A huge thank you to everyone who participated! I’ve heard your feedback, and for the next poll, we’ll keep it open longer to give even more people a chance to weigh in. Let’s keep this momentum going!
🦉 New Poll – Help Choose the Owlbear! 🐻
Meet Oswin Owlbear, the fluffy and courageous fella. While mighty in my mind, I can't quite pin which design I like most, so I need your help again! I've designed four Owlbear variations inspired by aGrizzly/Great Owl combination, and I can’t decide which one to move forward with. So, I’m asking you - which is your favorite?
Four Owlbear design options for the next poll
📢 Poll open until February 9th, 5 PM EST!
For this one, I’m testing out hidden results until the poll ends. 🤫 Let’s see which Owlbear comes out on top!
🔎 Color Close-Up: While I won’t reveal all of the plush designs for Fabled Friends just yet, I can share that another design in the series will feature warmer orange/brown tones - which is why these Owlbears lean more towards the red-brown spectrum.
🌙 What's Next? 🌙
✨ Unlock Goal: $16,000 ✨
That’s the current target, but I’m actively working with our manufacturer to see if we can lower production costs and unlock more moths sooner. Fingers crossed - The new information should be coming in the next few days, so I’ll update you as soon as I know more!
No matter what happens, today we celebrate Monty’s success! WE DID IT!! 🎉
