I Was a Teenage Exocolonist Plush Dolls [Unofficial]

Hello!
I am currently working on getting the surveys set up so they will be ready when it is time to send them out. Based on what I have found while getting things ready, I have made a change to how we will be going about shipping:

I have decided to swap from charging the cost of shipping directly after the surveys are filled out (Dec-Jan) to doing so closer to when things will be physically shipped out (Aug-Sept). This is for a few reasons- such as allowing more breathing room between payments to make things easier to afford, having the cost at time of getting labels be closer to what you pay, and in hope international shipping rates go back down to how they were when I estimated shipping (rates fluctuate and are currently up by a decent amount likely due to the holidays coming up). I am also concidering using a different shipping partner than Pirateship that works more efficiently with Backerkit, so I will be looking into other options! 

Thanks so much for the support and understanding 💖
Only 12 days left of the campaign...

We have just barely passed the goal for the second community choice with only 13 days left in the campaign! The most popular from the previous poll are up against each other this time around... and I bet it will be a close call so every vote counts!

Unlike the previous pride pins situation, if we go back under this goal before the campaign ends (if people cancel) then this goal will not be concidered met. However, if that becomes the case then I plan to offer another chance to fund it during the survey stage of the campaign! (This also applies to the doll that does not win this poll if we don't get to a Community Choice #3).

The next goal to unlock is the Vriki coin purse, but if we do not reach it and you would like one for yourself (or perhaps a different xenofauna), make sure to vote in the Future Campaigns Poll!
Lastly, the pride pin's overlay poll has concluded with holographic shine being the winner! This is a great choice as it matches the overall LGBTQ+ theme. 

Thanks so much to you 37 backers, as well as those who are following along- I truly appreciate it. 

Hello all! I am here to share some confirmations when it comes to materials that will be used on the plush dolls. Tangent and Anemone were approved a while ago to begin manufacturing, and the rest seen here have been approved today! 

In the images below you can see photos of the hair colors that are going to be used, as well as some example images provided by the manufacturer of dolls with alike hairstyles to demonstrate how they will go about making their hair. Tangent's includes an image of how they will go about the ear accessories using embroidery. 

Additionally, Nomi is still undergoing some checks and changes as they had to be simplified, but you can find an update on the current version below.  

So excited to see these guys brought into reality- what do you think of the colors and alterations? 

Per the amazing success of this campaign so far (thank you again to all of the backers), I figured I should ask: would you be interested in more Backerkit campaigns like this one?

If so, vote on the poll below! It is limited some of the more popular options from the previous bonus goals poll, plus an additional one Begonia (creator of Begonia's floral keychains, floral stickers, and glow-in-the-dark stickers) and I have been conceptualizing for a while now. The Begonia collaboration is planned to be two artworks focused on all of the romanceables + sol on notebooks, sketchbooks, stickerbooks, posters, and maybe more! One artwork being all kids, and the other all adults. Both of everyone having fun together! The pieces will be sketched and lined by Begonia, and then colored, shaded, and finalized by myself.

By the way, the pin effects poll is currently tied between Matte and Holographic Shine, will you be the one to break this tie?

Thanks to a backer increasing their pledge, we have unlocked pin customization! This means when surveys are out you'll be able to match any flag(s) with any character ✨
Find these pins in the add-ons section! In the future, I will have some preorders up on my Etsy as well.

If you ever plan on getting one of these pins, make sure to vote on what overlay you would prefer in the poll down below!

Here are the finalized pin designs with flag backgrounds to celebrate- with added shading to make them look like the pins they will become!
