Chimera Bunny: Plush and Cardigan!

Surveys have officially been sent out, so check your email inboxes! Please confirm your order as soon as you can, because the sooner you do the sooner we can place the orders for all the inventory 👀

Orders will still be open for changes for another 1-2 weeks before we lock them, since I want all samples to be completed before then. (Still waiting on the 2nd varsity jacket sample and giant millipede plush!)

We just got in both photos for our snail wallet samples, what do you all think? In a couple days, I’ll get to check them both out in person to see the quality of materials.

For me, I’m leaning on 2 at the moment because it seems a bit thicker material and completely metal zipper. 1 appears to have a plastic zipper, but it is much more spacious and can fit more cards. We also tried out embroidery for the shell on number 1. But we’d love to know your thoughts!

Hiya! I just wanted to make a quick update, the survey will be out monday, the 28th! We delayed it a bit more to give time for backerkit to approve it + hoping to have more sample photos in before then.

Speaking of sample photos... We got the first pictures back of the spider varsity jacket!

We put the sample into production with 2 different manufacturers, so we will hopefully get photos of the alternate version next week! I’ll make an update then to cross compare the jackets. Bye for now!

Thank you so much for supporting our campaign!!! We ended on an INCREDIBLE $70,826 and unlocked EVERY stretch goal! So what happens next?

Survey announcement:
We expect to send out the surveys October 15. In the survey, you will get to select your items of choice, add more add-ons to your order, select your shipping address, and see the shipping total! We will not charge for the shipping costs until about 1 month before shipment starts, which should be in June. We’d like to wait until all product samples are finished so you can confirm what you’d like to order, but in the case that they’re not all ready by then you will still be able to change your order. Orders will not be locked until ALL samples are in!

Sample update:
ALL products have been put into sampling! We do not yet have any new photos, but stay tuned for future updates on product photos of the finished samples in the next few weeks!

Production update:
We will receive the funds from this campaign 2 weeks after it officially ended, and will begin production immediately on majority of items! Products that are not yet finished with their samples will NOT start production until the prototype is finalized. So, any stretch goal item you can expect to take a bit longer to produce/extend the shipping time on your order potentially.

Shipping update:
As stated above, we will not be charging for the shipping cost until 1 month before shipment begins! So when does shipment begin? I’ve illustrated a timeline to help visualize each step of the process!

We expect to charge for shipping in June, so stay tuned for updates and double check your shipping addresses! You can always contact us at [email protected] if you need any help with your order. 

We really appreciate you!! Thank you for supporting our animation studio, we have a ton of plans for the future and this campaign has helped us make them possible. Will make an update again soon if new sample photos release, and to announce when the surveys are live! :D

We did it!!! Every stretch goal has been UNLOCKED!
Sample will now be put into production, and the plush is available for pre-order as an ADD-ON!

Thank you all so much for your support!! I will continue to make updates as samples for the stretch goals come in 👀 and if you’d like to see videos of the samples, feel free to check out our instagram!  

The sample for the beetle bag came in and it’s perfect!
Details:
-interior space is 10 x 8.5 x 3 inch
-comes with 3 straps, to convert between crossbody or backpack
-zipper pocket on the back + an interior zipper pocket (both big enough to fit a phone!
-material is PU leather
here’s a side by side with the plush beetle bag! They are pretty much the same size, except the backpack fits a bit more since it’s 3 in wide. The quality is very nice, and I like how the colors turned out as well.

I also wanted to talk a bit about our next stretch goal! It’s been commented many times on our insta, it seems most people are interested in us doing bigger versions of the bug plush! We wanted to start off with the millipede, who has been the most requested. This would be our biggest plushie yet, at 2.5 ft long. We’ll have to raise the funding goal for this last stretch goal to afford it, since shipping from our manufacturer + storage for how much space these will take up will have to be considered.


For anyone who’s missing the bunny sweater, we'll probably come back around to it some other time 👀 Hopefully you all like the idea of big bug plushies!!
