Plushies are on a boat
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Jun 25, 2021 at 12:53:03 AM

Hey folks, just wanted to provide a quick update.

Plushies have all been produced and are on a boat heading to the fulfilment warehouse. This can take up to 60 days, so we're still on track for them to get to you guys by October.

I've also received photos of the Gelatinous Cat treasure chest pins (no pics of keychains yet)

That's all for now. I'll post another update in July before cards are charged from Backerkit for add-ons and shipping fees.

Take care!

Production in progress

Hey folks, just wanted to post a quick update.

Plushies and pins orders have been placed with the manufacturer about 4 weeks ago. Things are right on track!

I also received this photo from my manufacturer. A whole gaggle of mew-holders excited to make their way to their new homes!

I have begun packing and setting up all the additional add-on pins everyone added in backerkit. So once the plushies are ready, all the add-ons will be ready to ship.

Once I get confirmation that the plushies are on their way here from overseas, Backerkit will start charging cards.These are all the extra funds and shipping fees backers added. I'll post an update in advance to give everyone a heads up!

Thanks again to everyone, I'm excited to get these guys out to you!

Backerkit surveys locking April 21st!
about 3 years ago – Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 04:53:05 PM

Hey folks, just a quick update to let everyone know that backerkit surveys will be locked on April 21st.

This means you will no longer be able to change your choices after this date.

There are still 25 people who have not filled in their surveys! If you haven't filled in your survey, I cannot guarantee you'll receive your choice of plushies on time.

I will be putting in my orders with the manufacturer on the 22nd, after that I expect production to take about 35-45 days. After that they will be shipped over via boat, which can take up to two months.

As I have a better idea of when I'll be shipping them out to you guys, I will post an update letting you know that backerkit will being charging your cards for any add-ons and shipping fees.

Surveys 77% complete!
about 3 years ago – Fri, Apr 02, 2021 at 08:08:34 PM

Hey folks, I hope everyone is enjoying this Easter weekend!

I'm just posting a quick update to say that 77% of the backer surveys are completed, that's great!

If you haven't filled out your survey yet, please do! Surveys will be locked April 20th, but the sooner I get the responses, the sooner I can put in the order with the manufacturer.

If you've lost your survey email, you can follow the link below;

 https://lootcats-plushies.backerkit.com/ 

Please let me know if you have any issues with the survey.

A few fun facts from the survey results so far:

In order of popularity, the plushies are

Green Gelatinous Cat

Mew-Holder

Blue Gelatinous Cat

Pink Gelatinous Cat

That's pretty much what I was expecting!

The most popular pin is the Dragon Kitty from series 1, followed closely by the Gelatinous Cat. Meat Cat is also surprisingly popular!

I've also been blown away by the popularity of some of the add-ons! Especially the LoafCat pin. Does this mean I should do a full set of Food Kitty pins? 

That's all for now, looking forward to finalizing the surveys and getting the orders in!

Thanks so much again!

Hello everyone. You should all be receiving your Backerkit surveys shortly!

If you have any issues please reach out to me and we can fix things up! You can message me on Kickstarter or via e-mail @ [email protected]. 

The survey deadline is a soft mid-April.  By then I hope to have a clear idea on how many plushies will need to be ordered.

I also received the alternate color gelatinous cube samples! You can see the whole family below!
