Happy pre-October critters! I come bearing tons of spooky-cute updates and news today!
First and foremost, if you backed one of the last two snughoul campaigns you should have received an email this week regarding those. In case you didnβt, you can read about Series 2 here and Pintopia here.
Now to hop right into it, Iβve opted to postpone the October preorder until the 15th. The reason is two fold: weβre still waiting on the desert Chupie sample which should be on the way this week, and the 1st is already going to be one busy day for plushies!
Rather than interfere, I think it makes more sense to hold off and extend the preorder window to give everyone ample opportunity to get their orders in.
The official preorder window will now be October 15th - November 20th.
Some additional exciting news: the Chupies will now include a zipper on their bellies so they can be stuffed/unstuffed to their ownerβs liking, weighted, or even warmed with an internal heat pack! Because of their size and posture, they rest perfectly on your chest or back and make excellent sleep aids and stim toys.
Iβll be sure to get some photos of them in action before preorders launch so you can gauge for yourself if theyβll work for you π
We also got our first look at surprise guest, Spectral Beelzebear!! You might say this elusive lil guy was the one that got awayβ but not anymore. Spectral Beelzebear will join the preorder line-up on the 15th at $65 and will likely be extremely limited after preorders close.
Stay tuned for more updates and turnaround photos early next month!
Circus Sweeties launches on the 1st!
Next week is a BIG week for these little clowns! My pal Charmsey has been working her tail off to bring these critters to life for the last several months, and the Circus Sweeties campaign finally goes live on October 1st π
You can check out the landing page here, sign up to be notified when they launch, and claim your early bird freebies!
Youβll also be able vote on which character is unlocked next (lets go Lupin Licorice!!), and meet the rest of the monstrous and mythical Circus Sweetie cast while youβre at it.
Charmsey has cooked up a lil something for everyone, and if you love the Snughouls youβre sure to love the Circus Sweeties as well!
My Cryptid Crush joins the 2025 Pintopia line-up!
Last but certainly not least, Iβm super excited to share that Iβll be participating in Pintopia 2025! My Cryptid Crush launches on January 23rd and will consist of 20+ creative reimaginings of popular cryptids and cryptid-adjacent creatures in enamel pin form.
Follow the project on backerkit here!
Iβve been having a ton of fun coming up with a diverse cast of colorful creatures and canβt wait to share the rest of them with you guys in January (or you can spoil the surprise by joining the discord and taking a peek in the development channel π)
Oh, I thought the desert chupie was going to have faux fur? Spectral Beez looks so good!! Beautiful color.
