Fulfillment Update + Plushie Timeline & Growlithe Sample
7 months ago – Mon, Jul 21, 2025 at 08:44:08 PM

Hey everyone!

Quick fulfillment update. We are almost halfway through the adventure buddies enamel pin orders! I’m hoping to clear them all by the end of the month but some orders may bleed into early August ^^

Regarding plushies: Still nitpicking samples. But they’re very close to being finalized. I apologize for the heavy delay on the plush orders. Moving forward I will not be funding any plushies I don’t already have a sample for! (Which is sad because I love designing things with yall but I feel real bad when the prototyping phase takes so long! I don’t want anyone stuck waiting and it takes weeks to a month sometimes to get edits back).

If you ordered Forgotten Forest + a plushie, I tried to fit as many of your pins into the forgotten forest order as I can so you can get them sooner!

However the totally generic fire dog is looking much better with the new sew pads ^^ there’s a few issues with the face shape on the Royal but once those have been hashed they’ll all be in production. That takes about a month or two and then it takes a month to get to me so I (hopefully) estimate I can start sending them out October or November and I’ll be cursed if I don’t get them to everyone in time for Christmas 💕

All the plushies have also been paid for (not counting tariffs lol 😭 ) ^^ so it’s good to start moving as soon as I approve the samples



For Pintopia 2 I’ll be doing Media Monsters and I’m going to try to get an Okami plush and maybe a Cerberus plush in the works so I have a prototype in hand in time!

Fulfillment Update
9 months ago – Tue, Jun 10, 2025 at 03:37:45 PM

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let you know I’ll probably be locking addresses soon for non-plushie orders! The 3 remaining plushies are still under prototyping (I just got the recent samples so I’m sending back edits!) this process is taking far longer than I had anticipated due to the manu change but they are so soft and good and I want to make sure yall get the best boys.

To help with fulfillment im bringing on two other local artists, KatzeKreations and RexusIllustrations to help me get through the 533 orders I have this month! If yall get the time go give them love because I came to the realization I need help lol. It’s our goal to finish Forgotten Forest this month and tackle some if not all of the pin only orders for adventure buddies! Moving forward they will be apart of the fulfillment team for the time being and part time help! Thank you all so so much for helping me get to this point. It’s a little wild looking how far we’ve come in only a year and a half!


Finally! Media Monsters is live and fully funded!! This will be my last campaign until Forgotten Forest: Endangered Species so I have time to handle fulfillment and conventions and design creation!

Currently requests for the final backer voted pin are up and tomorrow I’ll run a poll to decide who gets made!

Plushie Prototypes + More Edits + Feedback Welcome!
10 months ago – Wed, May 14, 2025 at 06:22:08 PM

Hey everyone!

The plushie prototyping phase is still ongoing. However the manufacturer wants to send me the current prototypes so I can look at them and send them back more specific edits. This is also the time for yall to make suggestions too! Some things may not translate into plushies or may be difficult to do but I’ll try my best to include y’all’s feedback!

For reference here’s the OG corgi Kitsune and the finalized prototype. There’s no changes to him as he’s already in the works!

Starry kitsune is also getting there and is the closest to being ready!
The eyes way too low but otherwise he’s a cutie! I’d almost be willing to start production on him under the condition the eyes are moved up!

For the Royal Kitsune, is getting there! 

The eyes are too low on the plushie again and need to be moved up, and the cheek thingies are squished and need to be fixed. I may also make minor edits to the cape. 


Growlithe needs the most work.

Namely, eyes are too low, and the stripes are painfully thin. I’ve asked they use sew pads for the stripes so there aren’t issues with embroidery. It may cost me more but I want him to look good! Plus the cheek thingies are off again lol. The tail is a bit rectangular as well. While the head is the exact same shape as the others, with the flatter ears it does make his head look more oval, please let me know if you like or dislike this!


First round plushie samples - Starry & Royal
10 months ago – Mon, Apr 21, 2025 at 05:44:44 PM

Hey everyone!

Here’s the first round samples for the Starry and Royal. Some things still need to be modified. For those of you who are new to plushie making, the manus don’t do embroidery until the final sample so they just draw or print the features onto paper and stick it on lol.

For example:
  • The ear tips need fur the same length as the black fur. 
  • The scarf needs to be the same material as the corgi Kitsune. 
  • The fluff needs to be thicker on the cape and the cape needs to be the same material as the corgi Kitsune scarf and not fur. 
  • Finally the inside of the ears need to be the same type of fur as the corgi Kitsune.

However! Besides from that they’re well on their way!

Adventure buddies pins are here!
11 months ago – Mon, Apr 07, 2025 at 10:03:01 AM

Hey everyone!

Good news! Most of the adventure buddies are here minus the Panthers/Leopards and the premium pin! Tariffs shouldn’t be an issue for these pins <3 (maybe the plushies lol TT)



If you will be at C2E2 or SakuraCon and you want yours early please let me know!! (If you don’t I may not have your freebie stickers <3)

As with most of my campaigns, I pack very slowly due to my autoimmune (generally 10 a day before I start being in pain) but I’ll also be out a lot for conventions this season and I have to move to a bigger apartment. So these may not ship for a few more months. I’m also still waiting on the aforementioned pins and plushies. However, things will still be done within the original timeline!
