Hi there,
It's time for yet another design update! Mainly, hair designs have been simplified. The four new versions below have been passed on to the manufacturer in response to their previous notes. The three other than Tammy have not yet been confirmed yet but I wanted to update you on how they are looking at this time :)

Let me know what you think!

In other news, I have another campaign upcoming next week on the 22nd. It is on a different indie game called No, I'm Not a Human by Trioskaz. The Returning backer reward is a 2.5" matte sticker of Sym in the NINAH style! Anyone who backed this IWATEX dolls project who also backs this new project can get it as a freebie! There are also many other NINAH freebies available within the campaign.
Click here or the image below to check it out! Theres a pre-campaign follow freebie so make sure to do so if you plan on backing. 

Thanks for staying updated! 

Hello Tammy fans!
Per the recent design review, I have learned the long back hair on tammy will not be able to have the detailed embroidery. This means we have a choice to make... How would you prefer Tammy's Hair?

This hair type is the longest.
Pros: You can comb and style it, has a clean natural appearance
Cons: Hides embroidery behind it for the front of the hair, can get tangled, straight hair

This is the previously planned style. The hair is a wavy hair flap at the back.
Pros: Does not risk hiding any embroidery, hair has a wavy shape
Cons: As it is a hair flap of short hair, it appears flat and a bit unnatural. 

What do you think of these two options? Would you prefer more to pick from? 

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!
