WOW!!!!!

This could not have been achieved without YOU!!!

We have already soared past this crazy number and keep climbing in the last hours of the campaign! 

That being said, we smashed through so quick, I wasn't able to reveal the last and final Limited Edition dragon for the campaign - until now - THE GOLD DRAGON!!!

With fancy filigree patterns and sparkles all over, this hefty Wonder is sure to dazzle the skies!

------

As we come to the end of the campaign, some housekeeping things
1.) Cards will be charged at the end of the campaign, which is midnight tonight PST (December 31st, 2024)
2.) Backer Surveys to collect shipping addresses and color choices for your tier will go out ASAP. I hope to have them in your inboxes by the end of the week (first week of January).
3.) Final prototypes of Bold Rainbow, Wittles, and Warmables will be revealed as soon as they are finished, which should also be within the next week or so.
4.) The option to change your pledge tier post-campaign has been TURNED ON as discussed in a Discussion thread, but I am repeating it again here so those who have last minute changes can do those changes.

No one's choices of colors are locked in until far after prototypes are revealed, so no worries on selecting a color quickly if you are not confident of your choice until a actual plush is shown live in living color!

Additionally, an approximate budget will be shown as payments and accounts are finalized in the coming weeks for full transparency.  A bulk of the money will go toward pure production (+overseas shipping) of the plush, especially to have lots of inventory post-fulfillment of the campaign, but some will go toward warehousing, insurance (both for the shipping containers and the product once it reaches the warehouse), wages for helpers (forklift drivers, warehouse staff, customer service, etc) many of which are the family and friends shown in the 'About the Artist' section, but some of who will be hired on temporarily for the initial fulfillment push. 

We will have a better idea of the budget breakdown after the dust of the campaign is settled.  This will take a little bit of time as me and BackerKit work together to pay for AdSpend, their commission, and their platform fee, and any and all transaction fees.  

We are still 100% on track with the given schedule posted on the campaign page, but I will again post here:

Thank you all for your overwhelming support and I will have my finger on the pulse of everything in the final hours and in the days ahead to keep you all in the loop!!!!

At!

Them!!!!!

I super love how Pastel Rainbow Dragon came out!!!

The only minor fixes they're gettin is black embroidery on the face and eyes as currently it's simply printed on for the prototype, but ahhh the colors ;o;

ALSO!!!!! New Wittle!!!!!!!

I think they're super perfect!!
 
I originally thought about making them "baggy" like classic Beanie Babies, but now I'm uncertain. 

What do you guys think?  A little stiff and more structured like this guy or underfill him a lil?

It's been hinted at and talked about, but finally, I am ready to reveal, in the super duper  stretch of the campaign, the littlest lil dudes in town - Wittle Wonders!

Though this is the 1st prototype draft, the final will be a little 'baggier' - think old 90s Beanie Baby style - and available in 9 different colors- Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Purple Orange, White, Black, and Pink!

They will be available to current Backers as an add-on at $20/plush!

BOTH Pastel Rainbow and Bold Rainbow Dragons have been UNLOCKED as an option at all Weighted Wonders tier levels!!! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

They will be available ONLY as Weighted as their patterns are too complex for the smaller Warmable Wonder.

I got the news that the actual prototype for these will be done by Saturday (at least the Pastel one) and no one has to make a color choice until final prototypes are shown of these, so everyone will be happy with their color choices :)

We are still working on one final super duper stretch goal that will hopefully be done before the end of the campaign (cries), but it's a....little...one ;D

Hope you are all enjoying the holiday season and get a chance to rest up for a brand new year!!! ✨💫
