Latest Updates from Our Project:

🚨 UPDATES + JUNIPER'S NEW SAMPLE 🚨
12 months ago – Sun, Mar 30, 2025 at 04:36:22 PM

Hi Cuddle Cove fam, I have tons of updates, so please make sure to read through this whole thread to answer any questions you may have! 

Juniper the Zebra sample update!! (Not final!)

She is looking SOOO much better than her previous sample 🤭🤭 but here are a few things we will be changing:
💜 arms will be rotated so seam sits flatter
💟 mouth and nose embroidery will be centered on snout
💜 cheek blush made more pink
💟 legs were sewn on totally wrong — that will be fixed lol
💜 “Ehlers Danlos” was spelled wrong, that will be fixed ears and mane will be changed a shade darker for better contrast!

What do you think of her printed stripes? Is there anything else you would change about her?

Next up: I know a lot of people have mentioned that because they can't see the projections, it has been hard to trust we will make it to unlocking the characters they want - we figured that out! I am SO sorry it took us a minute, we should have given you guys this link forever ago, but we are now! 

This is the PUBLIC BackerTracker which allows you to track our trending upwards climb and projected ending amount! KEEP IN MIND: that this updates at least daily, if not more. Only a few days ago we were projected $28k, now we are projected almost $32k, I have no doubt with the last few days of the campaign we can push that up to $36k or more! It has been going up a little each day, so please don't look at it and panic about your plushie amount not getting reached! 🔗 TRACK OUR PROJECTIONS

PRE-ORDERS: we are calculating more detailed numbers for the pre-order store, and WILL have information SOON about that! 

If you have ANY other questions, or something we may have missed - please comment below!! We are checking comments and the community every day now to ensure that everyone gets answered and heard! 

With gratitude,
Chronic Critters Team 💖

ECLAIR THE ELEPHANT WITH C/PTSD IS UNLOCKED!!!!

We are so excited to continue our push for Poppy the Red Panda!! We ADORE her so much and cannot wait to unlock her too!!! Let’s keep pushing- Poppy and Clover are SO close to being unlocked, and right behind them, Dizzy, Basil and Bubbles!!

Let’s keep the momentum going- we’re already so close and blowing through our projections for the project!!

🥺 DO NOT GIVE UP! PLEASE READ ABOUT POPPY, ETC. 🥺

Hey guys, it seems like people are really disappointed we shifted Poppy's goal back and put Eclair there. We wanted to give everyone an equal chance, even Dizzy and Clover and the later ones! People were REALLY concerned about characters being unlocked, so we decided to do another poll solely since there are so many more backers, we have all characters revealed, etc. I know that this is disappointing, and people have already unpledged because of it, which is really sad. We were SO close to hitting $24k this morning, and we got set back a bit after the update went out this morning 🥺

I just want to reiterate: we WILL unlock Poppy and hopefully more of the others after. We are projected to hit $30k+ by end of campaign, so it is highly realistic. But we cannot do it if people immediately unpledge. We still have TWO WEEKS left of campaign, and are still pushing really hard! Usually within the last week a flood of pledges come in, so please hang in there! If you are worried about your character not being unlocked, please WAIT AT LEAST until closer to the end of the campaign... then you can unpledge if you decide to. But by unpledging now, you are only pushing the goals further away 🥺

I honestly think that we can unlock all the way to Clover, $32,000, and THEN do pre-orders for the last three characters, Dizzy, Basil, and Bubbles! We are going to get them! But we cannot get there without you.

🎉POLL WINNER!!! Next UNLOCK GOAL IS…🎉
12 months ago – Sat, Mar 29, 2025 at 08:27:08 AM

ECLAIR THE ELEPHANT!!!! We are so excited to announce, with barely any time to spare, that Eclair has been Chosen as our $24,000 goal!!!

Poppy and Oolong kept their strong leads and are moving back a position each to $28k and $32k, however there are no doubts we’ll reach this goal (seriously, we can see the projection and they’re on track to unlock soon)!!

We have yet to order Eclair’s sample and it will not be done in time at the end of the campaign- we still need to finish up Junie, Pixel and Salem before we order the next sample!! We should be set to do so in 2-3 weeks!!

We’re so excited to keep reaching more goals with you all!!! Let’s keep soaring to Poppy!

🐩 SAMPLE UPDATE: Pixel the Poodle V2! (and correct poll link)

Hi Cuddle Cove fam!!

We are officially at 14 days left!! We are pushing hard for our next $24,00 goal!! We accidentally linked the wrong poll to the last email, so I will add the newest poll at the bottom! Make sure to check that out. We originally decided on Poppy from a previous poll, but so many were asking for others, so we decided to do another poll with more critters! So far Eclair and Poppy are winning I think!

Another update, if you didn't see our last email, PAYMENT PLANS ARE TURNED ON! Unfortunately, they start at $150+, so if you get multiple plushies, or a lot of add ons, hopefully that will help out! You should be able to edit your pledges, and possibly select that, if not before the campaign ends.

Now for the Pixel update! You can see a video of Pixel on both of our Instagrams as well!


Do you have anymore edits you would make other than the ones listed? The next version WILL have eyes open, so if you don't like the closed eyes, don't worry!
