About the Plush Toys

The original plush toy designs are created by the original character artist, Hono from Orange Juice, for this campaign. We are currently partnered with the U.S.-based Symbiote Studios for the production of the plushies.

The plush toys will be approximately 10 inches (25cm) tall. They have been designed to sit upright on their own without support.

The Gallery has the first pictures of the plushie samples. Please note that these prototypes are not final products, and there may be differences to the final product. The rewards will be manufactured using these samples as the prototype, but employing different processes - for example the sample hair has some visible issues stemming from manual production, but during production, the final fabric will be made with a professional die cut machine to keep it together smoothly.

Funding Goal

We are funded!

The Kickstarter campaign goal of $13,000 will cover the initial production cost of the minimum number of Marie Poppo and Suguri plushies and allows us to scale the production to demand. This allows us to manage the risk of such a big order. The plushies will be produced solely based on the Kickstarter orders, and possible leftover stock will be made available from our online store afterwards for the estimated retail price of $40 (or $50 with the character accessory added via stretch goal) per unit.

We are also making additional characters available as stretch goals at price points that allow us to cover their initial production cost! All the rewards allow you to choose any combination of plushies you want, so if stretch goals are met, those new characters will be available for your selection after the campaign, as well. More on the stretch goals in the next section!

Funding Breakdown

The initial production cost for the minimum amount of plushies will be approximately $8.000. Since the price point of the plushies is relatively low and shipping is included in the amount raised on Kickstarter, it raises our goal accordingly. The exact amount we can put toward the production depends on the tiers all of you back (we especially recommend the double plushie pack for the cheapest shipping!).

The estimate that enables us to produce these goods is as follows:

Schedule

We expect the production of the plushies to take up to two months from the campaign ending, and full delivery to take a total of 3-4 months.

If additional character designs are funded via this campaign, and you pledge for several plushies including a new design, they will all be shipped together in Wave 2 after new models are complete. If you wish to receive the plushies separately, it increases the shipping cost to the regular $15 per plushie - message us to change the shipping method.

We are working together with Interweave Productions, LLC. on the U.S. based operations of the campaign.

Shipping and Handling

The shipping cost will be $15 per unit to anywhere in the world, with a double pack containing 2 plushies costing $20 to ship. For the 1-plushie tier, we cover $1 of the shipping cost to bring the price of the pledge down to a round $50.

The shipping cost also includes handling fees - our Kickstarter campaign has been calculated to raise the exact minimum to cover everything from production to shipping and handling at no profit to ourselves.

Unfortunately, due to import laws and customs, WE CAN NOT SHIP TO: Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Afghanistan, as well as active war zones.

PayPal

As the funding has been met and thus the production guaranteed, we have added the option to pledge via PayPal.

With the campaign drawing to a close and the campaign page locking down soon, we have removed the link to PayPal pledges.

Note that we will confirm PayPal pledgers' character selections by e-mail at the end of the campaign, so if you use this option, make sure to use a valid and active e-mail account.

Although impractical to track in real time, we will consider possible PayPal pledges toward stretch goals at the end of the campaign to see if extra milestones can be reached.

Retailers

If you are a retailer who would like to sell a large number of the plushies, please message us regarding bulk orders and redistribution.
