Latest Updates from Our Project:

Update #10: Surveys & Preorder Store Coming This Week!
2 days ago – Tue, Nov 12, 2024 at 01:51:21 PM

Hello, everyone!!

After a very busy past few weeks for me, I am back!! By end of day Saturday, I plan for the preorder store (for folks who didn't back the campaign) to be open and surveys (for backers) to go out! For the surveys, backers will be able to select designs (such as for pins), add items, and pay for shipping. Folks who didn't get a chance to back the campaign will be able to preorder items through the preorder store. I will post again when all surveys have gone out and the store is open.

Thank YOU so much!!

PS I am hoping to have the Latt-ray sample soon!!


Update #9: Reminder to Resolve Payment Issues!
14 days ago – Thu, Oct 31, 2024 at 09:37:36 PM

Hi, everyone!!

Happy Halloween/Samhain/Diwali! Since the end of the campaign, things have been a bit busy - I got married! - so I apologize for the delay in updates. I've gotten some questions about it so I wanted to address what to do in case of payment issues. Payments have been charged and are processing on my end so we can start to order the items soon, but there are still about 20 folks with failed payments. If this applies to you, Backerkit should've emailed you about the error or you can log into your Backerkit account and check the status.

If your payment has failed, no worries, there's still time to fix it!! It would be best if the payments are resolved by November 4th but pledges are not automatically dropped at this time - instead there will still be a chance when surveys are sent (week of November 11) to fix the issue. :)

Thank you so so much!!! Hope the start of your November is magical and easygoing!

Update #8: Campaign Ends Tonight! & What's Next?
23 days ago – Tue, Oct 22, 2024 at 10:05:43 AM


Hello, everyone!

This will be final update during the campaign since it ends tonight!! It will end at 9pm Pacific Time - about 11 hours from now.

What's next? In the 24 hours after the campaign ends, Backerkit will charge payment methods for pledge totals. If payment does not go through for whatever reason, Backerkit will automatically retry over the next couple weeks. It takes about 2 weeks for everything to go through on my end - and all this needs to happen before surveys can be sent - so I estimate surveys (to select pin/lanyards designs, add things, pay for shipping) will go out the week of November 11th. I also hope I will have the Latt-ray sample before then!

Thank you all so so much!! I'm beyond happy about how this campaign turned out!

Update #7: Cross-Campaign Exclusive with Hurtsies: Interactive Zombie Plushies!
25 days ago – Sun, Oct 20, 2024 at 08:35:33 AM

Hello, everyone!


Exciting news! Loppy Rae (creator of the  Hurtsies: Interactive Zombie Plushies campaign) and I have teamed up to create a cross-campaign exclusive! If you pledge to both of our campaigns before they end (mine ends in less than 70 hours), you will receive a zipper pouch from each of us!! You can find the Hurtsies campaign on Backerkit over here and the Creature Café (mine) over here. The Hurtsies are some of the coolest creatures and you should definitely check em out ❤️

Have a great rest of your weekend and start to your week! Thank you so much everyone!

Update #6: Last Few Days to Adopt Breb & Friends!
27 days ago – Fri, Oct 18, 2024 at 05:33:23 PM

Hello, everyone!

We are down to the last few days of the campaign! I can't believe 2 weeks have already gone by! I wanted to pop in to say THANK you so much for all of your support over the campaign period so far. I'm so happy all of these little guys will come to life, and that everything is unlocked/adoptable :) <3

I have been getting the questions: Will these items come to your shop later/can I add more items when I complete the survey? And the answers are yes and yes! More items can be added when surveys are sent in the weeks after the campaign ends. There will also be a brief preorder period for folks who didn't back during the campaign, but the benefit of pledging during the campaign is the free 4x6 thank you print that comes with edge pledge. And items will come to my shop around May 2025!

Thank you again for all of the support! As a reminder, the campaign ends on Tuesday, October 22nd at 9pm Pacific time. Have a good weekend!

<3 Nicole
