some details on backerkit + acrylic charms nearly finished!
4 months ago – Tue, Mar 26, 2024 at 08:39:52 AM

Hi again! Just wanted to check in with some info on backerkit and fulfillment!

If you need to change your address! you may do so on backerkit up until we are ready to begin shipping things out! you can go to https://colorful-kitties.backerkit.com/ to log in and edit your address! When the time comes to lock addresses, you will get an email asking for you to update your address if you need to and you will have 48 hours to do so, but there is still about a month before this will be the case!

Fulfillment will be provided by White Squirrel again! They did an awesome job with colorful puppies V2 and I am excited to be working with them again.

I also wanted to give a production update for things other than the plush! Acrylic charms are finished up and shipping to me, after which I will be adding details so some of the charms that have extras and then grading them and adding care info to the packaging!

This is a manufacturer photo and also includes some charms that will be available on my shop later and some that will be a part of my upcoming backerkit campaign for the autism kitty and ADHD puppy plush!

As far as stickers go I am about 1/3 the way through production on them - I am printing, laminating, and cutting all 400 stickers myself, so it will take me a while, but I hope to have them finished before the plushies arrive!

Thanks again for your support!! :D 

production finished for plushies!!
5 months ago – Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 11:11:19 AM

hello all!! I want to apologize for the lack of updates during the production period - I got anxious about updating since things are moving slower than anticipated. I promise to update more often from now on!!

The good news is that production is finally finished for the plushies, and they should be shipping out before the end of the month! This means the EARLIEST plushies will start shipping out will be late April, with May/June being a more likely estimate. This is later than anticipated, but delays like this are inevitable and we are doing the best we can to get these kitties to you asap!! Thank you for your patience! I will continue to update as the rest of the add-ons finish with production :D

As always thank you so much for your patience and support! - Han <3

surveys sent out + new add-on designs!
8 months ago – Wed, Nov 22, 2023 at 08:36:19 AM

Hello hello everyone!! I finally have surveys sent out and ready for you to fill out so you can let me know which kitties and kitty add-ons you would like, as well as add-on any additional items you'd like to add on! Surveys will be open until December 15th, after which they will be locked! You can still change your address up until things start shipping out spring next year, but the items you choose will be locked in after December 15th!

If you do not get an email from backerkit with your survey link, you can check here by putting in your email: https://colorful-kitties.backerkit.com or send me a message here on kickstarter and I can directly send you the link to your survey!!

I also wanted to show off the 12 new add-on designs! We have several new keychain charms and pins done by our wonderful guest artists :D 

these designs will be available for you to choose from for any add-ons you added during the campaign, or you may add them onto your pledge via backerkit! 

I also wanted to share the final sample for Sable :) They turned out so sweet and cute!

Thank you thank you for all of your help! As soon as I have 70% of surveys filled out I can start up production on the plushies and we can get things going! :D

first sable sample + survey timeline!
9 months ago – Thu, Oct 26, 2023 at 12:44:10 PM

Hello friends! Thank you thank you again for funding this project!! We are now in the preparation stage of production - I am currently working to set up the backerkit survey and working on revisions for the Sable plush sample! 

I wanted to share the first rendition of Sable with you! I'd still like to make some changes since I feel the contrast between the two grays isn't quite distinct enough, especially on the muzzle! but other than that I'm super happy with how they're coming out so far!

I want to be sure we have the final version of Sable before I send out surveys, but we are also cooking up a few more guest artist designs for enamel pins and acrylic charms as well! I wanted there to be a greater variety of pins and charms so I'll be including new pin + charm designs for a few extra cats! I want to give the artists some time to finish their designs, so the current plan for when surveys will roll out is late november!! This will give me time to set up the complex survey as well since with over 60+ items it will take quite a while to create items, attach pictures, and so forth.

Thank you so much for your help again in bringing these kitty characters to life! I'll continue to update as best I can as we finish new charm and pin designs. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message here on kickstarter or leave a comment!
