Latest Updates from Our Project:

Cowddles & Marigold are Done — Bulk Production Complete! 🎀
12 months ago – Tue, Apr 22, 2025 at 02:51:02 PM

Hey everyone!
We’re back with an exciting follow-up to our last update — and this time, we’ve got completed bulk production photos to share!!

While the sample of Peanut the Opossum is currently undergoing some tweaks and adjustments, we have these other exciting news:
Cowddles the Cow and Marigold the Red Panda are officially finished!
Our manufacturer just sent us these super fresh shots straight from the production line, and we couldn’t wait to show you! Just look at these squishy cuties all ready to cuddle their way to you 🥹🎀




It’s such a huge milestone for this project to see them all done and looking exactly how we envisioned — from the embroidered little hearts on their bellies and toe beans on their paws, to the custom tags and labels we worked so hard on 😍 We're beyond proud of how they turned out, and we hope you love them just as much!


📦 Next step: shipping to us!
The plushies will be vacuum sealed by the manufacturer to save as much space as possible (they're huge and squishy, after all!), and then sent our way —we’re still waiting to get the exact shipping date, but it should be very soon!


Once they arrive to us, we’ll start carefully packing them up for you. Just a heads-up: when your plush arrives, it may look a little flat or squished due to the vacuum sealing of course —but don’t worry! You’ll just need to give it a few gentle *PUFFS* and squishes with your hands to bring it back to full fluffiness! 👏💕


We’ll try our best to create and include a simple *graphic* instruction mini-sheet with each plush, just in case — though they're super easy info to remember!


Thanks again for sticking with us on this other plushie journey. We're getting closer every day, and seeing these cuties in bulk now is making it all feel even more real!


We seriously can’t wait to get them into your arms 🐮


Talk soon & take care,
the Quirkory team~

Production Updates & Peanut sample sneak peek!
12 months ago – Sun, Apr 13, 2025 at 01:34:34 PM

Hey everyone — long time no update! 🥺
A lot has been going on behind the scenes, and we’ve been hard at work to keep everything moving forward as much as we could!

Cowddles & Marigold plushies are still in full production mode — right now, manufacturer is also printing the tags and labels, and things are looking super cute so far 💪 We can’t wait to receive some work-in-progress production photos, and see them all finished and ready to cuddle their way to you! 🥹



  It’s been a wild ride full of back-and-forths with the manufacturers, testing different materials and tweaking the details to get everything just right. We really want these plushies to be as special as you imagined when you backed them! 

As for Peanut the Opossum plushie, we finally received the latest sample photos!
Phew — that took quite a while to be sent… 😮‍💨 And unfortunately, it’s still not quite there yet. There are a few important tweaks we still need to make before it’s ready for the spotlight 😐🌟

But we’d love to hear what you think of it so far! Your feedback can help us spot things we might’ve missed! 



As for the timeline:  If everything stays on track and the manufacturer finishes the plushies currently in production by the end of May as they said, we’re aiming to start shipping the ready items in early July.
Shipping times by sea can be quite long — sometimes over 30 days — so that part will largely depend on how fast everything gets to us. . Of course, we’ll keep you posted if anything changes — we’re committed to delivering the best possible plushies, even if it means a bit more waiting.


Thanks as always for your endless patience and support.🙏💕 We’re getting there — one little step at a time!



Stay tuned & take care,

Marigold the red panda final sample!!
about 1 year ago – Sun, Jan 12, 2025 at 03:41:25 PM

Hey, Backers Frens! 

We finally have news from our manu! 🤧🎉 We just received the newest photos of the final sample of Marigold the Red Panda... and xe's absolutely ADORABLE! 🥹 

Take a look at the photos! Isn’t xe just the sweetest? 😭 We’re over the moon with how xe turned out, and we can’t wait for you to meet xer in person!



This is one of the previous samples... 👇 it was definitely a bit of a disaster as you can see from the pictures below! 🥲  They really couldn't make it right —it begged for mercy, pleading to be fixed /ᐠ>ヮ<ᐟ\ ̖́-


But thanks to the tons of back-and-forth and adjustments we sent to our manufacturer, they now did deliver a perfect result! /ᐠ ˵◕ ヮ ◕˵マᯓᡣ𐭩 The new sample captures all the charm and cuteness we envisioned for Marigold

Here is also a video of the newest sample ♡


The manufacturer will now send the final sample to us soo we can see it in person. So Marigold bulk production will start soon 🪡🧵  Now waiting on Peanut sample to be completed ꒰ ˵• ˕ •˵ ꒱ 


Still waiting on the acrylic charms bulk production to be finished as well 🌟



Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer to bringing everything to life! Thank you all once again for believing in our project and for being part of all this 💕


Hope you're having a lovely weekend,
the Quirkory team~

Progress moving forward
over 1 year ago – Tue, Jan 07, 2025 at 08:02:29 AM

Hi Backers Frens,

Just wanted to take a moment to share a very quick update on our project. Things are definitely progressing, even if a bit slower than we’d hoped, as for our other projects too.

As of now, our stickers and acrylic charms are still in production. Marigold adjustments and the Peanut sample are currently also being worked on. The factory handling their embroidery is always quite busy and a little cluttered, which means updates from our manufacturer are coming in a lot more slowly than we’d like. But don’t worry —things are moving along! There's not much on our end that can be done, we just need our manufacturers to get back to us with news~

We can't wait to have more significant news to share with you, so stay tuned! Your support means the world to us, and we truly appreciate your patience during all this wait. Thank you for being such an important part of this little project!

Warmly,  
the Quirkory team~

Pledged amount 'locked' for Not funded items | Solution
over 1 year ago – Wed, Sep 04, 2024 at 01:24:05 PM

Given all the comments and messages we received pointing out the problem, we’ve found a workable solution for those who had their selections locked (and no corresponding extra credit) because they pledged to tiers for items that weren’t unlocked or funded during the campaign (like the pocket plushies).
 
We’ve created a new post-campaign pledge level in which we already moved in all the backers who didn't manage to drop their pledge or switch to another tier in time (before the campaign ended). So now, if you're among those, you’ll have your "already pledged amount" as an extra credit to cover shipping costs or to use on anything you'd like in the add-ons section of the survey -including the other things we’ve added.

Extra credit has been manually given instead to those in the Bundle tiers (corresponding to the value of the not-unlocked items).


So, if you’re one of those folks, please check your survey again—you’re free to fill it out now!


Also, a friendly reminder that the shipping hasn't been collected during the campaign -but it will be charged at the moment closer to the start of the production.


Hope everything is clear, and thanks again to everyone for your patience!

Wish you a super lovely day,
