Good morning everyone!! We have 🧋 2 DAYS TILL LAUNCH 🧋!!


I am super super excited for the project to launch and see how the funding goes!!


⭐ I've recently got some nicer photos of the three samples I've got and I wanted to share!! ⭐

I thought the colors of the variety of plushies I own would really make the photos POP!! As you can see the bags are very spacious inside and have enough space for smaller con goodies (stickers, charms, enamel pins, small plushies, etc.) as well as other things like phone, wallet, etc.!! 😊💖💖 Each bag has an adorable plush zipper pull (all tails except for the Frog, which has a cute lilypad) and they have gold D rings on the sides and bottoms so that you can wear them as a shoulder bag OR backpack!! They are 11" tall not including ears/straws so they are fairly big!!


Small reminder that Backers who pledge for a bag within the first 48 hours of the project launching will receive a FREE Benji charm!! There are also Early Bird spots for bags so if you wanna grab one or two at a discounted price be sure to follow the project to get notified when it launches and PLEDGE EARLY!! These spots are limited!!

My project is also partnered with the Veggie Cats Pintopia project (click to go to their Launch Party page)! If you pledge to BOTH of our projects you will receive a FREE charm from each of us! My design is above! 💖🫛


There are also smaller items available on my project in case you don't wanna grab a bag!! Enamel pins are $15 + shipping each and car peeker stickers are $6 each!

AND there is also a $1 Tip Jar tier for those who just wanna show a lil love to the project and help with funding!! 💖 Any and all support is very much appreciated!!


Thank you all so much for reading and I hope to see ya'll checkin' out my project!! I appreciate it! 😊


Love,
Benji

Good morning everyone!!

 
The Pintopia projects, including mine, are very very close to launching!! 👀💖💖 My Boba Buddy Series 2 project launches January 22nd @ 1 PM EST (or 10 AM PST)!!


I wanted to share the latest developments in the smaller merchandise available on my project!!

You all already saw the Certified Boba Buddy enamel pin but I recently-ish finished the car peeker stickers that will be available as well!! 😁💖 They are so so cute! All of them will be about 4.5" wide, except for the bat (that one will be bigger because of the wings)!! I'm very excited to see these on your cars!!


I've also already shared the 48 hour incentive charm but I wanted to let ya'll know that I'm ALSO cross-collabing with another project within my Fur & Food Banner: the Veggie Cats enamel pin project!! 🫛

Backers who want to receive the cute lil cat peapod charm I designed for the collab will need to pledge to my project AND the Veggie Cats project!!


And if you want that charm + the 48 hour charm you MUST be pledged at a Boba Buddy Bag pledge tier!! I forgot to reiterate this in past updates! Last time I launched a Backerkit project Backers pledged to just the $1 tier (or something small like a sticker) expecting to receive the free charm and it was a whole mess!! 😭 SO I wanted to mention it now!!


I also haven't mentioned but there will be CUSTOM Boba Buddy bag slots on the campaign as well!! Custom bags could be based off of a pet, an original character, etc.! There will only be 4 spots available and they'll be $500 + shipping each! The cost goes towards the work for the concept artwork, the back n' forth with my manu to make your bag perfect, the cost of the actual sample, AND some will go towards the campaign too!! 😊


👉 If you have a specific character you want as a custom bag but you want to make sure I have the fabric colors for your character PLEASE feel free to message me privately on social media OR email me at [email protected] and I can help you!!


Thank you so so much for your support!! I'm super excited for the project, are you?? 👀👀👀👀💖💖


Love,
Benji

I have a lot of news for you!! First of all, we have the newest Frog, Raccoon, and Fawn sample photos!! I think they turned out SUPER cute!!

I think the Frog is PERFECT!! The Raccoon is almost perfect and the Fawn may need an edit or two!! I have asked my manufacturer to mail me the samples so I can get a better look in person before I make any decisions about needing edits! 💖💖 I am SO so excited with how they turned out and I hope you're excited too!!


Another update is that I have gotten the 48 hour incentive charm finished!! Backers who pledge within the first 48 hours of the project launching will receive this FREE CHARM!! My fursona Benji carrying his fav bag the Frog!! 💖🐸💖

I've been sprucing up the front page for the project and I'm very very excited to see it come altogether!


I'm working on getting the additional Rewards drawn up, including the enamel pin and the peeker stickers!! The enamel pin's been finished and I'm going to be starting on the peeker stickers very very soon!!

This enamel pin will be 1.5" tall, gold plated, and it'll have some screenprinted details (the boba)!! It is an updated version of the pin in the Series 1 Kickstarter project!


That's all the updates I've got for ya'll!!

Pledge early and you'll snag the free charm!!


Love,
Benji

I've been workin' hard on some MORE furry friends for the Boba Buddies Series 2 bag BackerKit project, launching January 22nd!! Here are the new friends that may be joining us!! 😊💖💖





I will likely have the Wolf and Bat as additional Strech Goals and then after them, the rest of the bag Stretch Goals will be Community Voted!! I'll be designing more friends soon!! I'm STILL taking suggestions for animals/bag ideas from ya'll!! If you have an idea feel free to comment them below!! 💖💖


I've also designed an enamel pin Reward (a re-design from the pin on the original Series 1 Kickstarter project) and I will be drawing some car peeker stickers!! 🧋


Love,
Benji
