Hello friends,
There are just 10 days left on our campaign!
It's been an exciting and rewarding journey for us as makers. By contributing to our campaign, you're not only receiving unique Animoodles that are of the quality seen at high end department stores and boutiques, but you're also helping us remain an independent team that does not have to compromise our creative vision. You fuel our passion!
We are in the process of producing the Storytale Forest Animoodles thanks to your support.
As a reminder, we are delivering these to our US backers before Christmas 2018!
If you have any friends with kids, or if you know anyone who loves stuffed animals, please take 10 seconds to tell them about our campaign, or just text them the link to our page :)
Warmly,
Marissa & Dan

Hi everyone,
Thanks to your help, we were able to reach our base funding goal for Animoodles Collection 2, which allowed us to proceed to produce our 6 new Animoodles with confidence!
We made a list, checked it twice 🎅🏾, and while the timeline is very tight, we are still on track to finish production by early November. After that, it will take a few weeks to arrive at our warehouse near the port of Los Angeles in the US.
The first Animoodles hot off the factory production line
To ensure we ship on time, our team has been visiting our factory in the Guangdong Province (located just north of Hong Kong) for the last 11 days. We will be in Asia to oversee production until Animoodles are loaded onto the dock during the first week of November.
We are happy to share with you the first pictures of Animoodles 2: Storytale Forest being made on the production line!
It's hard to describe how satisfying it is to see Animoodles being produced in person!
Look who was there with a cute, smiling face:
Sammy Fox
And there was some hoppin’ music playing on the factory floor:
Our plush factory goes through a rigorous testing process to make sure Animoodles are up to the highest quality standards. That includes testing their magnet power:
Watch Sammy Fox in his Marilyn Monroe moment, his buttery soft fur blowing in the wind!
We are thrilled with how well these new Animoodles came out, so we have already begun packaging our new Animoodles into boxes, and preparing them for shipment!

If you’re excited about your Animoodles, we’d appreciate your support by telling your friends about our campaign! These Animoodles will make great gifts for the holidays. And if we raise $50k, we will be able to unlock a cool free accessory that works with all Animoodles.
Our Kickstarter campaign page where people can back our campaign is here.
Hope you are as excited as we are to see Animoodles being produced in real life!
Marissa & Dan
P.s. Here are some commonly asked questions we have received recently:
Can I pledge for multiple sets of 6? Yes! Just double your pledge amount and shipping amount. So if you’re buying two sets of 6 at the Early Bird price and shipping to the US, just pledge for
2 x ($110 + $20 shipping) = $260.
Can I add one or more items onto my order?
Yes! Very soon after our Kickstarter campaign ends, we will send out backer surveys from BackerKit in order to get everyone’s mailing addresses. While you’re on BackerKit, you can add on any extra items you want to your order. Want 2 Odin Dragons? No problem, just add an extra Odin Dragon in your BackerKit cart!
Can I add any Animoodles from Collection 1 to my order? Yes! We will make a limited number of original Collection 1 Animoodles available as add-ons on BackerKit after our Kickstarter campaign ends. If you missed out on getting Sophie Elephant, you'll definitely be able to get her. We will be able to have some of the other Animoodles available too. All Animoodles you order through BackerKit will ship together to the same address.

Thank you for your continued support. As a small family business, we could not bring Animoodles 2: Storytale Forest without your support.
Stretch goal announcement: What happens if we reach $50k 🌟
over 7 years ago
– Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 07:05:56 PM
Hi Fanimoodles,
(That’s what the fans in our official fan group say they want to be called!)
I recently saw my 5 year old niece receiving a cool prize after a basketball game, from one of the team moms. My niece ran and jumped around while wearing it.
I saw how much she loved it and thought, “What if we can make that for the Animoodles?!” So I went to my office and took my scissors out to make a prototype of it. It came out super soft, and is the perfect accessory that is compatible with all Animoodles!
We are proud to announce our stretch goal today:
Can you guess what the $50k stretch goal reward is?
If Animoodles 2: Storytale Forest reaches $50k in funding on Kickstarter, we will be able to offer this cool custom designed prize for free to all our backers who supported us at the Set of 6 Animoodles level. We’ll ship it along with your Animoodles, at no extra cost for the item or for shipping.
The estimated retail value of this accessory is $5.
Why did we choose to include it for our Set of 6 backers only? We only have enough wiggle room in our budget at the Set of 6 level, since the item is costly.
In case people who backed at a lower tier want to buy this accessory, or if people want to buy multiples of this accessory (such as one for each of your Animoodles), it will be available as an add-on through BackerKit after our Kickstarter campaign ends.
How can you help us reach $50k funding level?
If you pledged for 1, 2, or 3 Animoodles, you can increase your campaign pledge to the full set of 6. Then you will automatically get the free accessory if we unlock our $50k stretch goal, and it will help us get closer to our funding goal!
And we ask that everyone helps share our campaign page!
The easiest way to help is to text or email our campaign page to 2-3 friends or family members who love stuffed animals, or who have someone to buy Christmas or birthday presents for. Or click the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram share buttons below to share to your social networks!
We need your help to unlock this goal! Let's do this!
