Latest Updates from Our Project:

Nougat poll, Kom and Vriki confirmations
6 days ago – Fri, Apr 17, 2026 at 08:06:03 AM

Hello all,
I have now 100% paid off all mass manufacturing for the plush dolls and outfits- not just the samples like previously stated! The manufacturing and confirmations seem to be moving slower than when I made the Dys doll with them, so be aware the timeline may be delayed. Now, here are some updates...

The Vriki coin purse is confirmed and detailed in the image below


Per Kom, here is what the heat transfer print is planned to look like! With heat transfer, I'm able to do ombre effects so it seems perfect for Kom.

Nougat is the current main concern. I have been talking at length with the manufacturer on how we can go about the afro- I believe I have been able to explain my vision on it being a big 3d shape. However, the color patterning is another issue. Here are our options.

Please vote below!

Come see Sym's doll!

Hello all,
Sym's sample is complete! I'm a big fan of how he was able to be made longer than the other dolls to really make him feel alien. As this is the sample changes can still be made, but I think he turned out great! What do you think? Let me know in the comments! 

Per the other dolls, they are currently in the process of having their embroidery files rendered and I am now only waiting on Nougat, Kom, and the Vriki coin purse's final proofs before that stage!

Pride Pins are here!

Hello all!
Pride pins have arrived! I put your custom orders aside to ship when the dolls go out and bonus ones are up on Etsy today.  If you want your pin and any other items arriving before the dolls let me know! You'll just need to pay for additional shipping, but I can include them in an Etsy order of yours if you send your order number or email!

Can you spot your pin?


Additionally, here are new photos of the small textured glitter stickers and the Mushtree and Nemmie stickers!


Ps. other new things are going up on Etsy today as well...

Some fabric visuals and confirmations
about 2 months ago – Sat, Feb 28, 2026 at 03:49:00 PM

Hello!
I have some updates on doll designs as the manufacturers are back from their Chinese New Year break! First of all, Kom's hair will be using a new different technique different from the others- heat transfer printing! It should allow for more of an ombre effect, we will have to see how it looks in the sample 👀

In addition, here are some additional visuals for Marz, M!Sol, and Utopia! Primarily photos of the fabric colors plus a braid example.


Thank you for reading!

Hello Sym fans,
Our favorite Gardener's plush sample has made progress, you can see his embroidery below! Note that the plastic will be removed and is just on for the embroidery process. 
Our other manufacturer has many Exocolonist dolls to work on and is going on break for the Chinese New Year, but hopefully we get some more updates soon enough!
