I got some photos from the manufacturer last night that I couldn't wait to share with you all! There are still a few minor changes I'll be making for production but here's the froggy crew!
Soon I'll have them on-hand and I'll be able to take some more photos. :)
I am also still working on the survey but I'll let you know as soon as I have pinned down a date for those to go out!

After just under a month and with the support of 1,140 backers, Onion and his unusual buddies have been brought to life (and a lot of them)!! Thank you all again so much for making this the biggest Frog Tree project ever! ♥ Thanks also for your patience with me getting this update out - I took some time this weekend to celebrate and plan out a little bit what's coming next! :)
Samples
My top priority right now is working with my factory to get the new samples completed. I won't be sending out the survey until you've seen what you're picking! We're pretty close so I hope to share those with you next week.
Surveys + Add-ons
I'm working with backerkit again to create the surveys and collect shipment information! The other cool thing about backerkit is that there will be an add-on store in case you missed adding anything to your pledge during the campaign! Finally, shipping fees won't be charged until early next year/when I am ready to ship. I'll be keeping you all updated when this time gets nearer.
Pre-Orders
With the addition of add-ons, I will be running a limited late pledge pre-order store through backerkit! This mainly applies to people who missed the campaign but I wanted to let you know in case you know someone who might be interested.
That's all for now! Next update will be photos of the other froggy samples and hopefully a date for when surveys will be going out. As always, feel free to comment/dm/email with any questions!

Hello!!
I'd like to start this update with another big thank you for all of the support for these unusual froggies! :) To celebrate, I've designed a handful of stickers to the campaign which will be available as add-ons.
There are two glossy 4x6" sticker sheets and one 2.5x6" sparkly sticker sheet (in the middle) featuring the pin designs you've already seen and some new little matching unusual tadpoles. You'll be able to find these as add-ons under 'manage your pledge'.
Next, there is a set of 3" die-cut vinyl stickers of each of the pin designs which you'll be able to add onto your pledge individually or as a set of six. If you want all the new stickers there is also a bundle add-on which gives you a discounted price for everything.
I am also still working on the freebie sticker which I'll reveal in a later update!
Finally, I have a small production update for the samples of the unlocked frogs showing off the test heat-prints for their frog bodies! (I'm told I'll have photos of moss soon too) I'm really happy with how they're looking! The crispness in the print - particularly on the plants is exactly what I wanted and since it's all printed onto the fabric, they'll be super soft all over. : )
Thanks for reading and have a great rest of your week!

Hello!!
Well it's almost been 24 hours and we're already by funded - by which I mean we met the base goal in under and hour and all of the stretch goals have been unlocked twice over!?! I really don't know what to say except for thank you - I am seriously blown away by the support.
Looking ahead to the rest of the campaign, I definitely have some thinking to do! I'll be back with another update as soon as I have figured it all out. : ) I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments about what stretch goals you'd like to see! I'll just say now that I won't be making any new plushie designs for this campaign. The time it takes to make the new designs and work through the prototyping phase starting now would push the timeline out a bit too far and mess up all the tiers so there won't be any new froggies. (yet hehe)
Thank you all again so much!!
Laura
