My Cryptid Crush

I'm blown away we still have a week to go and have hit 100k already!! (okay, we're a few hundred shy, but almost!!! 😅) 

That means you can now add the soda wristie to your pledge via the add-on section! You're also welcome to wait and add it via your survey after a prototype is revealed. There will be ample opportunity between the prototype being finished and surveys locking to make changes to your survey.



I also have a special surprise for you dragon stans today-- Little Softs mastermind Sunny whipped up this incredible keychain design! Add it to your pledge by choosing a tier that includes a keychain, or by selecting the keychain add-on.



And if you haven't browsed it already, check out their latest Snug-Along campaign, live now and waiting for you to adopt some adorable (and functional) critters! Sunny is an unstoppable force in the cuddly, plush companion world and you won't regret giving them your business 🥹



AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, it's time for the big monster bash!!! Voting ends Friday so I can start brainstorming and sketching over the weekend. Get those selections in quick! With so many options I have a feeling the winner will be determined by a handful of votes, meaning every single one counts 🎉🎁

A new creature is joining the Cryptid Crush crew today!! The discord has lovingly nicknamed them the Swolepertinger and I have no complaints. It was meant to be.

This small and medium pin combo is available immediately. No unlocking necessary, so you're guaranteed to see them on your survey, yippee! 



Speaking of unlocks, we do have a couple on the horizon and before we unlock the next creature, I want to create a master list of sorts with your help. Leave your creature selections below! (Preferably one per backer, in the interest of fairness.)

I'll be collecting some of the more popular suggestions for a showdown in our next poll, and the winner will get the pin treatment just like ole Swolepertinger here 💖

Good luck! 

Heya critters! Hope everyone is having a nice, peaceful weekend 💖

I put together a few more stretch goals for us to work towards since we already unlocked the Jersey Devil!!! I'm so excited and humbled by everything we've accomplished in the last week (can you believe its only been ONE week??) and I'm looking forward to digging even deeper before the campaign is over.



Some new outfits to compliment our newly unlocked monsters, and some non-stretch goal related pins are still coming as well. I just need a little more time to polish everything up, so stay tuned!

In the meantime I'd like to remind everyone about our collab partner, Wyldefell Woods! Nyx the Void Terragryff is unlocked, so you can actually pick up both the cuties featured in this pin, and in doing so score yourself another sick freebie 🎁🎉



They're also only 4k away from unlocking the purple calico terragryff, Whimsy! Its no secret purple is my favorite color so I may be a little biased, but I need that delightful little creature asap 👀

I did not expect us to hit 90k so quickly (story of my life), but I'm not complaining! 😅 And just in time, the poll to determine the last two plush designs has ended and it's clear who our winners are: the gorgon and jersey devil!!!

It's a bitter sweet victory. I love the dragon too (and like I mentioned I will be prototyping them regardless!!), but the gorgon and ole JD are guaranteed to be on the survey!

I do have something for you too though, dragon lovers! This small dragon pin will join the pin selection immediately.



And I have one more pin sneak peek for you while you're here. Soon you'll be able to crack open this can of darkly refreshing Cryptid Crush (aka add it to your survey) with the boys (aka more cryptids). Pray for me. Typography is the bane of my existence, but I am trying so very hard 😂

Last night I put the finishing touches on the 1000 backers freebie pin, and just in time! We're only 13 backers away as I type this. That's incredible!
 


Because I'm horribly indecisive, I'll be making both colorways and you'll be able to choose which one you want on your survey. Everyone who backs at a physical tier is eligible. 

Two new pledge levels have also been added today, by popular demand! These include steep discounts if you purchase in bulk and are a great option for the completionists out there. 

I'm blown away we're less than 7k away from unlocking the final plush already!! I'll be hard at work on some new pins over the weekend, including a dragon mini pin, and some more main Cryptid Crush characters. Stay tuned for some sketches over the next few days, and feel free to suggest some other creatures you would like to see in pin-form. I'll be keeping an eye on the comments! 💖
