I Was a Teenage Exocolonist Plush Dolls [Unofficial]

Hello!
Thank you so much to the 82% of you who have filled out your surveys! If you did not choose Pay Over Time, make sure to fill it out before Febuary as I will be ordering outfits then. I'm here with updates on four of the designs- with more news on others coming soon! 

Sym's sample has been purchased and is in development. You can see fabric samples that were chosen next to him here!

F!Sol has been changed to have longer fur hair rather than a flap so it will look nice and scruffy. This is also being concidered for Tammy!

Both M!Sol and Utopia's designs were approved without any changes!


As a bonus, here is a teaser for some materials that will be used for Marz's hair 👀
Now that I know these cool textures are available I'll be working on a slight redesign for her to properly incorperate them.

Thanks for supporting this project! What do you guys think on these changes? 

Happy Holidays everyone! 
68% of you have filled out your surveys so far. Thank you so much for doing so! If you have not done yours yet, please make sure to soon. Now onto the update- I have recieved some stickers and pins for the campaign so you all can see them in physical form.

Here are what two of the stickers look like- the 3" Nem and the 2.5" Early Bird. If you look close at the photos you can see that the design is a raised texture on top of the fluorescent background. 

Then, we have Pride Pin samples! I took photos at different angles so you can see the holographic reflection. The rainbows show up in different ways depending on the light- they are stronger in darker light and least powerful in bright light. 

If you missed the campaign but would like a pride pin, I have the preorders up on Etsy! However, if you ordered during the campaign or use the Backerkit Preorder page you get 28% off ✨

Hi there!
The smoke tests went successfully and I was able to make a few small changes to make them easier to fill out. So it's now time for everyone to recieve their survey! Check the email associated with your Backerkit account to get a link directly to it. You can also find it under "Your Pledges and Surveys" when you click your profile picture in the top right on the Backerkit website.

Within the survey, you confirm your ordered items and choose between options available for them- like which plush doll you want! You can also add any additional items you'd like. Please fill out your survey asap, so I can order outfits! You have until Febuary to make any changes to your survey, as I plan to lock them in then. Meaning if you change your mind on which doll you want later, you can revisit your survey and make that edit- as long as its before locking! This time allows me to look over every survey and make sure everything looks just right, as well as give you all extra time to make any changes. The date is February rather than when samples are complete so I can order outfits sooner rather than later for a higher chance of them still being in stock. I will be ordering extras so I can order as soon as surveys are complete rather than when surveys lock- this means after I send out an update saying I have ordered outfits please refrain from a lot of changes when it comes to clothing in your survey! Before I send that update however, you can change anything you'd like.

Speaking of outfits- please remember they are found in add-ons only! If you order a doll without an outfit add-on to go with it, the doll will arrive nude without clothing. This is so you can order outfits elsewhere if you prefer as any 20cm plush doll outfits will fit. (Or 15cm for Nougat).

Shipping will be charged close to fufillment rather than now. This is because shipping rates change over time, so by waiting until it is time to ship we can have the most fair transaction. Expect this around August-September. 

If you have any questions about the survey or anything else Exocolonist plushies, email me at [email protected] , message me on Etsy (Poayosuniverse), or message me on Discord (Poayo_). Whatever's easiest for you!

Ps. If you haven't yet- check out the mod Extracolonist, a mod project I lead with a group of skilled writers, artists, and coders working on adding more characters to IWATEX (3 years are out so far)! I also reccomend hopping into the Seraphic Discord Server. You can hang out with other IWATEX fans, get notified about the mod, and grab the "Exo Merch Ping" role for each of my merch announcements! 

Thank you so much, make sure to fill out your survey!

Hi friends,
95% of people have successfully paid- thank you all! Therefore I've decided we can send out smoke tests ahead of the estimated date, that way we can get surveys out to everyone sooner. If you recieved an email saying its time to fill out your survey, you are one of the 5% that get to do so early! Please complete your survey sooner rather than later so it can be sent to everyone else. You can edit your survey later on so don't worry about your choices being set in stone!

I have also added one new item that will be available to add within your surveys. Tiny stickers of the doll artwork! You can see a mock-up I made below. Each sticker is 1-inch on its longest side, with a border matching their adoption certificate color. They are matte with a sand glitter frosted overlay and a soft bumpy texture! You can find them in the add-ons for only $7 USD. They will be available later on within my Etsy for $9, so this is your chance to get them cheaper!

Thank you again for supporting this campaign. 

Hello!
Survey development has been completed, however I will be waiting until the 16th to send out the smoke test in order to allow time for those with declined cards to get their payment through. Currently, BackerKit is doing a setup review to make sure the survey looks good!

I am going to send the rest of the designs to my manufacturer as soon as Kom's poll ends so we can work on getting them ready for production. This includes Tammy, Marz, Cal, Nougat, Utopia, Kom, F!Sol, M!Sol, and the Vriki Coin Purse! They will be looking over these and letting me know if anything needs to be altered in order to bring them into three-dimensional reality, as well as showing the fabric. Sym has already gone through this process with his personal manufacturer and had his design checked over, but we are waiting for me to recieve the BackerKit funds to continue. 

I have been told Nem and Tang's physical development has taken longer than it usually would due to a mistake on their end, but we should see their faces within the next few days!! 

I have also put my order in for the Early Bird, Campaign, and Anemone Fluorescent Stickers as well as some Pride Pin samples.

Last chance to vote on Kom's paws below before I send the design in!
