I hope you're doing well, and happy March! Apologies for the delay in updates - I’ve been mass-shipping out Krampus plushies from my first BackerKit campaign. Now that those little fellas are on their way ( and surely up to mischief ), I can fully focus on Monty & friends!
🗓️ Estimated Schedule for the Eclipse Pals Campaign 🗓️
1️⃣ BackerKit Surveys ( Coming Soon! )
These surveys confirm your pledge, shipping address, and payment details.
Initially, "Smoke Tests" will go out, meaning a small batch of surveys will be sent at random to ensure everything is working properly.
Once confirmed, all surveys will be sent!
You’ll also be able to grab Add-Ons like extra stickers, including newly added moth stickers, and the collab pin!
📧 Keep an eye on your email ( including spam ). If your survey is incomplete, you’ll be notified!
2️⃣ Survey Deadline – March 17th
This locks your pledge so I know exactly how many of each item to produce.
Moving this year? No worries! Your shipping address can be updated closer to the fulfillment date - just keep reading updates so you know when we’re getting close to shipping!
3️⃣ Charging Cards – March 22nd
This is the Saturday after the survey deadline.
Cards will be charged for any new Add-Ons and shipping fees.
4️⃣ Production Begins!
Stickers, pins, and plushies galore! Production will officially begin on your goodies.
Laisy will be a little behind since their sample needs to be finalized before full production can start.
5️⃣ Quality Checks & Shipping Prep
Once everything arrives, I’ll check for quality before shipping.
Keep an eye on emails for any failed payments or incomplete surveys.
Before shipping begins, I’ll do a final address confirmation for anyone who needs to update theirs.
6️⃣ Shipping & Delivery Estimates
Monty & other items – Estimated to ship in Summer 2025.
Laisy – Estimated to ship closer to Autumn 2025.
⚠️ If your order includes both Monty & Laisy, your order will be held until Laisy is ready. This helps keep shipping costs lower for everyone!
7️⃣ More Adventures Ahead! Once Monty ships, we’ll be diving into a whole new adventure: Plushpanions Series 3 – Fabled Friends!
By following Plushpanions onBackerKit, socials, or our newsletter, you’ll be the first to hear about: ✨ Launch details 🎁 Plush giveaways ( just like we did for Eclipse Pals! ) 🔥 Exclusive pre-order perks

🦋 NEW Add-Ons! 🦋
I've added some more goodies for you to check out in your surveys - moth stickers!
Each sticker is PVC-free, aka, eco-friendly & recyclable!
They’re around 5cm in size and feature:
🐯 Garden Tiger 🍂 Fall Webworm 🌙 Luna 💀 Death’s-Head 🌺 Rosy Maple
Left to Right: Garden Tiger, Fall Webworm, Luna, Death's-Head, and Rosy Maple moth
Additionally, my collab partner & I have decided to add our collaboration pin to the survey Add-Ons! If you weren’t able to back both campaigns but love the pin, you can grab it now! 🥳
👀 Unlocking Dottie? 👀
There's a new BackerKit feature that I'm trying out - unlocking more Add-Ons! If enough people purchase a specific Add-On, it will unlock for the campaign! In this case, if 95 Dottie Death’s-Head Hawkmoths are pre-ordered, she will officially be unlocked for production! Let’s see if we can bring her to life in the final hour!
This pre-order is open to everyone, even non-backers - be sure to share this page!
Pre-order unlock Dottie plush
⚠️ Important: If the goal isn’t met, all pre-orders for Dottie will be canceled and refunded. You will only be charged if she is officially unlocked.
⏳ Pay Over Time – What to Expect ⏳
If you selected Pay Over Time for your pledge, here’s what you need to know:
Your survey cannot be processed until your full payment is complete! This should align perfectly with the estimated shipping schedule, so no worries!
Please wait until your final payment clears before filling out your survey.
Keep an eye on emails for updates!
🎉 That's about it for now - catch you on the next update! 🎉
In the meantime, if you have any questions and can't find the answer in the FAQ, please feel free to reach out at [email protected]!
