What's Next For the Wolf Pack Pups?
We were invited by BackerKit to participate with other creators in their Pintopia 2025: Pins 'n Plushies event this winter. Any creator crowdfunding a project for a pin, a plushie, or pins AND plushies with be featured during this event, so I've designed to try out the BackerKit crowdfunding platform with the NEW Snow Paw 13" Werewolf Plushie!
All Pintopia 2025 crowdfunding campaigns will launch on Thursday, January 23rd at 10 AM PST, and collectively end on Thursday, February 13th at 1 PM PST. I have turned on the prelaunch page for you to follow and be notified when we go live! Click here to visit the Prelaunch page!

Good News & Bad News...

Good day my Wolf Pack!
I hope you are having a better Monday than me. Before we get to the bad news lets start with the good news. The plushies are finished and ready to ship! Here is a picture from the manufacturer.
Now for the bad news. I just talked to Skelton Crew again about trying to air mail enough plushies to fulfill before Halloween. Unfortunately, it will cost way too much extra to air mail and it will take longer than expected. Skelton Crew said, "that it is because the brief shipping strike earlier this month has clogged shipping routes (people panicked and had more travel by air then by sea to try to avoid a potentially long NY port strike) and that’s backed up the airways a bit." You can read some of the email correspondence below.
So, now what? The plan is to just ship everything across the sea which also is going to cost more than first quoted because of the strike. That means, the plushies won't be in before Halloween like I promised. I truly apologize for that.
Thank you again for being a part of my Wolf Pack and my apologies for the inconvenience.
Your loyal pack mate,
Rob
The Night Wolf Werewolf Plushies Will Ship Next Week!

Happy Werewolf Wednesday my Wolf Pack!
I hope all is well with you. I received and email for the Skelton Crew that the Night Wolf Werewolf Plushies will be ready to ship from China on Tuesday. However, that is a little behind schedule to ship across the sea. Therefore, I am paying extra to have just enough plushies air mailed to arrive within 4-5 days. That way I can get them in your hands before Halloween like I promised.
The diecut stickers arrived and came out great! I can't wait to send them out to you physical backers! Also, I have started distributing the digital rewards for you to enjoy now. There are still 6 of you who need to fill out your BackerKit surveys to receive your rewards. I plan to lock addresses as soon as the plushies arrive so make sure you double check your addresses to insure that your arrives arrive without issue.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://wolf-pack-pups-nightwolf.backerkit.com.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://wolf-pack-pups-nightwolf.backerkit.com/faq.

BackerKit Reward Fulfillment Survey Smoke Test!
3 months ago
– Fri, Aug 23, 2024 at 10:21:44 AM
Happy Friday my Wolf Pack!
Great news, the funds are on their way from Kickstarter and BackerKit has approved the fulfillment survey! Last week, I sent the deposit check off to the Skelton Crew to get started on the Night Wolf 13" Plushies and now it's time for fulfillment surveys! However, before I can send surveys to everyone, BackerKit requires me to send a Smoke Test to a random 5% of backers across all pledge levels, which I just sent this afternoon. So, some of you will have already received the email with a special link to your BackerKit survey, and the rest of you will get yours tomorrow after the 24 hours is up. Remember to check your spam/junk boxes if you don't see the email in your Inbox.
What's Next For the Wolf Pack Pups?
I'm currently working on a new story, but in the meantime I have this Snow Paw plushie prototype that I will be launching for later this year or early 2025.
Please let me know in the comments what you think of her and if she is something that you are looking forward to adding to your Wolf Pack Pups collection!
Thank you so much for taking this creative journey with me! Have a great rest of your weekend!
Your loyal pack mate,
Rob
Thank You For A Great Campaign & Next Steps!

Good day my Wolf Pack!
I want to say how grateful that I am for you, my Wolf Pack members! Thank you, so much for being a part of this creative adventure! The Wolf Pack Pups: Night Wolf 13" Werewolf Plush Toy Kickstarter was successful because of you! Thank you for another amazing campaign! You Wolf Pack Members ARE THE BEST! I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me continue my dream of self-publishing books and produce quality plush toys! I'm so very thankful that you are taking this creative journey with me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What Are the Next Steps?
A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment. Here's a quick rundown:
First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds, so that I have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to three weeks). Kickstarter has notified me that some of the payments were declined. Please double check your payment method in your Kickstarter account, so I can send out your rewards.
Second, I need to find out your reward delivery information to send out your rewards. I will be sending you all a Reward Delivery Survey through BackerKit to collect this information.
I will give you a heads-up before sending the survey, so that you can watch for it in your email or spam folder. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as possible, since we need this information to process your rewards.
If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after I send the surveys out.)
If you prefer, you can contact me directly and give me your information, but answering your survey helps me get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps me to save a lot of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing me with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log into your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.
Again, thank you all for your support. I can’t wait to send out your Wolf Pack Pups rewards! Have a great weekend!
Your loyal pack mate,
Rob
