Feathered Fox Den

Snowy owl prototype has shipped to me! He would be an option to unlock at the next funding goal. I was planning on a poll between him and Magpie Wolf for the next large weighted plush, BUT there is a hiccup in the spot printing process on the neck.

The printing process creates a line on the base of the neck that cannot be avoided. I have spoken with my manufacturer for solutions and the best one they have is to simply trim it after the plush are made. Due to things being not as perfect when mass produced I have asked them to leave the line and I would trim each one individually by hand with my feather scissors.

I would like to hear your opinions on this please! Is this something that would bother you or stop you from purchasing him if you otherwise like the design? Should I remove the spots entirely from his neck and just have his body be all white? I want to be transparent so people know exactly what they're purchasing.

Here are pics from the manufacturer. The last pic shows the line at the base of the neck. The left side the line is trimmed off, the right side it is not.

Yay or nay?

Believe me I have asked and asked about my options or other ways to do the spots. I have been working on this prototype since August 6th! Over 2 months. I really love him, but I want to make sure the public is happy with him too. And if not, he'll be my buddy because I don't think I could let this one go ❤️

His head marking is also printed. I'm not sure if I like it that way or if I would rather them use black fabric. I will have to feel it and see it in person to decide! He should be arriving in 2 weeks and I can get better pics of him then.

Looking forward to hearing feedback! Thank you everyone. I am still so shocked and amazed at how far my campaign has come already 🥰

Blue Jay Fox won the most votes in the poll! His design is being sent to my manufacturer now so they can work on a prototype of him.

AND today they sent me finalized pics of Oriole fox! Waiting on a pic of the underside of wings, but here's the pics I have now






The more detail on the wings the thicker they are! So this guy's wings are pretty hefty compared to red fox. I really like him and hope you do too! 

You guys are awesome! I can't believe we are funded all the way up to coyote pigeon already! My heart is so full right now ❤️ The next goal is another fox plush and I am letting the community vote on which design should be chosen :)

I narrowed the selection down to 10 designs, mostly blue colored birds for something different. Plus a few that I really really like. Believe me, there are SO many I want to add. Voting ends Wednesday morning! 

The next unlockable goal will be a large weighted winged wolf plush. Magpie Wolf will be an option. I originally wanted snowy owl as an option too, but I am not in love with the prototype and will share more details and pics when I receive them. Stay tuned!
