Thank you all for your patience during this Kickstarter. We will be putting the plush into production in 2-3 weeks once the Kickstarter funds have been deposited to our account.
The Surveys will be put together over the next 7-10 days. In these you will select your plush type, put in your address, and select any additional add-on items you'd like to purchase. The pre-order store will open shortly after for any of those who missed the Kickstarter and are looking to pre-order items to avoid them selling out.
Some updates on general projects and timelines.
I. Timeline: With the Coronavirus causing delays all over the world we are anticipating a delivery between September - November, 2020. We will not be able to have an accurate timeline until all factories and businesses are back to running at normal efficiency.
II. Ember (DinoS'more): Ember will be ordered with the Sushi Meowchi Plush. We hope Ember will arrive around the same time.
III. Sushi Hoodies & Enamel Pins: This Kickstarter should begin shipping shortly. Again, the Coronavirus caused many delays in getting items to us. But we are working our best to fulfill them as soon as possible.
IV. Kickstarters: We will be holding off on any more Kickstarters until we have solid, concrete timelines for finishing the shipping on these current 3 open projects. We did not originally anticipate this type of delay with Ember, but are happy and excited to be able to present a much better product.
V. Sushi Plush Key Chains: These will be revisited at another time, and we will probably order these ourselves later down the road. All of you who pledged for the plush key chains will be getting the PVC versions for this event along with the free sticker sheet.
Update on PVC Key Chains

Hello All,
General Update on the PVC Key Chain that, at this point, looks to be the replacement for the Plush Key Chains. We will also be adding a small additional sticker sheet at no extra cost to anyone who pledges for the Key Chains as it looks more and more as if the plush versions will need to wait for the time being and the PVC will be the replacement. Refer to previous updates for that information as we have outlined the reasons in full detail over the last 2-3 updates.
Here is what the new PVC Key Chains will look like. The previous design had some structural concerns with the chopsticks, as we were worried they may tear off or get caught on things. These will be the four designs. We have already sent these to the factory so the prototype process has started. These will be here well before the plush so there will be no delays.
30 hours left, please make sure you are up to date.

Hello all,
Please make sure you are up to date on the current Kickstarter news as we will not be hitting the goal for the Key Chain plush this time around. We plan to order those when we are able to afford doing so later on and making them available, but that has no date or timeline at this time.
The PVC Key Chains will be taking the place of the Plush Key Chains on all tiers as outlined in the previous updates. Please read those in full so you understand the situation and changes. Those who still like the PVC Key Chain designs and are staying with those tiers, we appreciate your support.
We will be making updates on Ember and the Sushi Meowchi soon. The Coronavirus is going to potentially cause delays. So while we originally stated October, and then said we were ahead of schedule and looking at August / September, we may be back to an October or November timeline. Please note this cannot be helped, and we extend our deepest condolences to those being affected by the virus both within the United States and worldwide as we personally know a few individuals from our factories who have family battling through it. We have told them we support their decisions to stay home, quarantine, etc even if it means slight delays in our projects and we hope we can count on your continued support through these issues.
Thank you again. We hope to be fulfilling the Sushi Meowchi Hoodie Kickstarter soon (pins were delayed due to the virus) and once Ember has arrived we can finally finish the DinoS'more Kickstarter as well.
Updates Regarding Stretch Goal & Tiers (All Backers Read In Full)

Hello all,
There have been a lot of emails and questions for this campaign, so we're going to address them all below. If you have emailed us in regards to this, you will receive an email reply informing you to reference these updates.
DinoS'mores (Ember):
I. Due to delays with Ember having not been delivered to the backers of the DinoS'more Kickstarter, there have been some individuals hesitant to back this Kickstarter.
II. Ember prototypes from our original factory were below our standards. We always feel waiting and delaying is worth it if it means sticking to our high quality standards.
III. Once Aurora became our Master Plush Licensee we canceled the project with the previous factory, waited until all contracts were finalized, and moved forward with Aurora manufacturing Ember.
IV. Please follow the DinoS'more Kickstarter for additional updates and rest assured we have been keeping those backers well informed throughout the process. Ember is looking amazing.
V. Images of Embers progress are shown below. Prototypes use existing fabrics that closely resemble the final colors. Once the prototypes structure is finalized then the correct fabrics / colors will be used for the final official prototype before mass production. So images are not final.
Key Chain Stretch Goal:
I. At this time, we are unsure if this will be hit. If they are not unlocked, we will release them at a later date down the road ourselves. The Full Size Sushi Meowchi Plush will be $25 retail, and are available for $20 only during the campaign. These Sushi Meowchi will not be distributed worldwide by Aurora, as they are a Tasty Peach Private Label line. If you are holding off to get these in the store at a much cheaper price, this will not happen.
II. If you do not stay up to date with the updates I am afraid we will not be able to help if you receive rewards that do not match up to what was originally listed. So please read carefully.
III. We ask that all of those on the $100 tier swap to the $80 tier to receive your 4 Sushi Meowchi at your discounted pricing.
IV. If you stay on the $100 tier, instead of the Key Chain Plush, you'll be receiving x4 brand new PVC Rubber Key Chains we will be ordering instead of the Key Chain Plush.
V. We ask that all of those on the $300 tier swap to the $265 tier to receive your 4 Sushi Meowchi at your discounted pricing along with the other items from the original $300 tier (Autographed Items, Digital Meowchi Colored Sketch)
VI. If you stay on the $300 tier, instead of the Key Chain Plush, you'll be receiving x4 brand new PVC Rubber Key Chains we will be ordering instead of the Key Chain Plush.
VII. If you pledged to Key Chain only tiers you have two options. You can pledge to the tiers and receive the PVC instead, or you can drop your pledge all together and wait until we release the Key Chains at another time. There is NO currently timeline on this whatsoever at this time. If you pledge to the plush tier and they are not unlocked you will receive PVC key chains by default.
VIII. This is image one of four for the new PVC Key Chains. You will receive all 4 if you remain on the $100 tier, and will receive all 4 if you remain on the $300 tier. These are also valued at $8 each retail. If you pledged to
Nothing else about the campaign changes outside of some good news. Being that these plush all have approved prototypes we may be seeing them as early as July / August. As soon as the Kickstarter finalizes, and funds are to us, we will be purchasing these from Aurora immediately for manufacturing. So we could very well see very early fulfillment on these.
Thank you all for your continued support. We plan for our next Kickstarter to have many more stretch goals, and for Ember to be finished and shipped to all backers before we move forward with any additional campaigns.
If you are a backer please make sure to adjust your pledges so you can still receive your full-sized plush.
