Hello Softies!

We're down to the FINAL 24 HOURS of our campaign! All pledges must be made before the campaign ends, or else you may miss out! YES, Channelle will be part of the lineup at the very end, so this means ALL Very Huggable Softies will be available. Please pledge to your heart's content.

Please also be aware that PRICES WILL GO UP after preorders close (e.g. when items are in stock and ready to ship). Take advantage of the lower prices during this period!

And below is her plushie concept art! Look, she has a half-eaten toast with jam on her tummy! Could it be the age-old "I'm late for school!" trope? 

We are now down to less than 24 hours before our first campaign ends. I want to give everyone a HUGE shoutout and congrats. Y'all are legendary, and my project would not have come this far without you! Please continue to share my project with everyone until the very last moment. Remind your friends that once the campaign ends, no more pledges can be accepted, so PLEDGE NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!

Once the campaign ends, you will be hearing from me once more about surveys, what they are, how to fill them out, and then some. For now, let's sprint to the finish line! Make sure your payment methods are good to go, and won't get declined! If there are any issues or if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to assist as well. You can find me on the Very Huggable Softies Discord server, as well as on socials and via email. You can find my entire list of socials here. Please give me at least 48 hours to respond, and don't spam messages or emails, as I'm only one person handling this massive project.

Thank you all, and see you next update!

Hello Softies!

We're winding down to the last few hours of our campaign, and we're going STRONG at almost $13,000 in funding! Can we unlock Channelle?! Only you can help! Don't forget, at any time between now and post-campaign surveys, if we can hit $15,000 in funding, everyone will receive an extra freebie featuring McMadmissile's artwork! You can check out the designs in a previous update, or by scrolling to the "LAST CHANCE!" section of the campaign here.

And if you missed it, let's showcase some cute photos of the Softies. Will you pledge today and help us hit our $15,000 milestone?! We're SO VERY CLOSE!

As promised, I wanted to give everyone a sneak peek of Very Huggable Softies 2! I have teased Buster's sister for such a long time, that I feel like the most appropriate character reveal would be her. But I think I should leave the reveal in your hands. Let me know by voting in the latest poll!

In the meantime, here's a little sneak peek of Buster's sister's secret Tummy Mark. I'll reveal the design for the most popular character choice tomorrow.



Make sure you vote in the poll, and we'll announce the most popular choice tomorrow! You won't want to miss this!

In the meantime, please continue to help me share and pledge to the project. I do not use marketing ads to spam people, so you are all my only hope! And one thing is for sure: I promise to do everything I can to ensure Channelle joins the entire lineup!

See you next update! 

Hello Softies!

We have only THREE (3) DAYS LEFT before the campaign closes, and we're SO CLOSE to unlocking Channelle! Come on, let's get her unlocked! We can do it!

This email will be a fairly big update, so sit tight and read till the end!

First of all, ICYMI, Evan (McMadmissile) was announced as a surprise Guest Artist on Saturday, and all orders will come with a random 3" vinyl sticker if Channelle is successfully unlocked.

If we achieve over $20,000 in funding, the ENTIRE SET will be including with every order!



Second, I have updated the Add-On icons for the Snuggie Outfit and the Set of 5 Wristies! Now you can have more confidence when you add it to your order. Check it out below:

Finally, we have updated photos of the Very Huggable Softies themselves! Did you know that each Softie comes with their very own secret Tummy Mark? Not only that, they have pom-pom posable tails! Let's take a look at the anatomy of a Very Huggable Softie.

We hope these surprises encourage all of you to realize that there is SO much more than meets the eyes with Very Huggable Softies, and that you'll want to take them all home with you!

Finally, I want to give a big shoutout to my Pintopia 2025 Collab partner, Kino, who is running THE BAT CAT! Be sure to pledge to both of our campaigns to receive two limited edition pins!



All right, that's all for this email! More updates are incoming, but for now, let's wrap everything up with a pom-pom wiggle! Ready, set...



Tomorrow, we will have an update about the future of Very Huggable Softies, so I hope you're all looking forward to that (hint: Series 2 is on the horizon...). Have a great start to your week, and as always, if you can, please help spread the word about Very Huggable Softies to all your friends and family!

 See you next update!

Hello Softies!

Since today's the Super Bowl (in America, at least), this won't be a big update. That'll come tomorrow!

ICYMI, Evan (McMadmissile) is our new guest artist, and there's currently a campaign happening so we can unlock Channelle! Every pledge counts, so please check it out under the "LAST CHANCE: FREE Limited Edition Stickers by MCMADMISSILE!" section of the campaign.

I received a couple of questions regarding Pay Over Time, and if I am able to offer this to my backers. I spent the last several days looking into this, asking friends, and mulling it over, and I'd like to explain our current situation:

Since I am a single person who needs to manage this entire campaign on my own, and need the money as soon as possible to fund production costs, I've decided that I won't be offering Pay Over Time for this campaign, as it may add too much onto my plate to keep track of. However, this doesn't mean you don't have flexibility, because:

As a reminder, you are able to join the Very Huggable Softies Discord server at any time! This server allows everyone to have direct access to chat with each other, and with me. You will get more immediate assistance there, as well as enjoy some time to chat with other fellow Softies enthusiasts.

Tomorrow, I'll be updating with some bigger news, so sit tight and enjoy Super Bowl Sunday for now. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hello Softies!

Are you ready for this epic announcement? Well, here it is... DRUM ROLL, PLEASE!!!

Evan (McMadmissile), creator of the Snughouls series and currently running My Cryptid Crush, has surprised everyone with this IRRESISTIBLE set of Very Huggable Softies vinyl stickers! These (3") stickers are LIMITED EDITION and illustrated exclusively for our campaign! How can you get your hands on them? Read on, Softies and Snughouls!



Let's cut to the chase: If we can unlock Channelle -- our final stretch goal -- and keep every Softie unlocked until the campaign ends, every backer* will receive ONE (1) sticker at random in their order.

We have FIVE (5) DAYS LEFT until the campaign ends! Can we do it?! Be sure to tell your friends, share this incredible news, and skyrocket to our goal!

While you're at it, be sure to check out Evan's amazing campaign, too!



I have SO many more things to update you all on, but I'll save that for my next email. Keep an eye on your inboxes for the next couple of days. I have a lot to share and potentially even have new designs... for a possible Series 2?!

See you next update!
