Snughouls Series 3

We're so close to the Jersey Devil unlock, critters!! Just a little over 5k to go now 🎉🎉🎉

To celebrate, I have a very appropriate new addition to the enamel pin, keychain, and sticker selection. This rockin' JD will now be available as all three when you receive your survey after the campaign ends.



Who else would you like to see as a cute, collectible accessory? 👀 I'm thinking maybe the capricorn or loch ness monster next!

Happy Tuesday, critters!!

I have two exciting reveals for you today (and I should have even more tomorrow 👀). First up is the first mini sample! Gutsy is looking soooo good, we just need to dial in the size of limbs and the position of the eyes-- the other changes are especially minor and should be fixed with the next revision.
 
Judging by this sample and the changes we're making, it's likely the final mini size will be closer to 10" which I'm also pretty stoked about! The floppier, the better with these guys. The limbs are almost entirely filled with beans for some excellent, weighted wiggles too and I can't wait to hold one in person 💖

Aren't the 3D eyes just the cutest thing ever?  🥹 And lookit that itty bitty nose!
 

I also dug deep and discovered the belly badge for our next unlock, the Jersey Devil! This might be one of my favorite belly badges to date, and I hope my fellow Jersey Devil enjoyers like it too. (Need to draw JD rockin' out and add it to our keychain selection next 👀)



We're only 8k away from unlocking this critter now! Let's power through and add them to the lineup this week 💪

And lastly PLEASE NOTE, I'm behind on updating the Design a Snughoul submissions and I have NOT missed you. Once I've added everyone to the drive folder, I'll announce it via backerkit so you can check for your entry and shoot me a message if it's missing! 🙏

Thank you guys so much! Let's hope tomorrow I have even more exciting reveals to share, aaaa! 

Way to go, critters! The frogman and mini nessie are officially UNLOCKED! We're now also only 10k away from unlocking the jersey devil and I'm sure it won't take long 💖
 


In the absence of any new sample updates, I wanted to share some gifs and pictures of existing samples! It's so hard to convey how incredible S3 'ghouls feel with their weighted paws in still photos alone. The wiggles™️are perfection and I know everyone will agree once they have their new friends in hand. 

I also took this quick comparison photo between Big Bites and standard Bites-a-Lot to further illustrate how GIANT the giant 'ghouls are!

Manifesting those new sample photos now 🙏🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️ (comment with a candle to join the summoning circle LOL)

My guess is my supplier is a bit swamped after being on holiday for a whole week, but as soon as they share the new photos with me, I'll be sure to share them with you guys!

If you would like to see other development-related things in the meantime, remember you can also join the discord here. I frequently share behind the scenes noodling like sketches and graphic design WIPs, along with random new merch ideas and pretty much whatever pops into my head! 

I got a short and sweet update for you today, critters!

We're sooo close to unlocking the frogman and mini nessie!! Share the campaign with your monster-loving friends-- let's add these cryptic cuties to the lineup tonight!



We're also very close to 2000 backers, and that warrants some celebration. Once we hit 2000 backers (and trust me, we will) ALL backers who pledge at the plush level or higher will receive a gold foil adoption certificate with their plush!

Due to the high cost to print gold foil designs, only one certificate per person will be included but I will also make them available in the add-on shop at cost (so you pay only what I pay for them).



‼️DOWNLOAD PRINTABLE VERSION HERE‼️

You can print out a matte version at home as well! Make it official with your S1 and S2 snughouls and tag us on instagram (@snughouls) or bsky (@mcmadmsisile) so we can see 💖

Yippeee!! I'm so excited to get the samples started on these guys, and now that my suppliers are back from their holiday, I can do just that! (Speaking of samples, my supplier confirmed the notdeer and nessie revisions will be finished this week 💖)

You can now find the mini backpacks in the add-on section!



The add-on section also received this highly relatable Bites-a-Lot keychain featuring art from Charmsey!



And as promised, I've started compiling all the Design a Snughoul submissions I've received so far! PLEASE NOTE: I'm still working through them so if you don't see your design just yet, don't panic.

Design a Snughoul Submission Gallery

Y'all are absolutely killing it with your incredible ideas, and I'm dreading having to narrow it down to just 5 finalists 😅 A big ole thank you to everyone who has participated so far, and I look forward to seeing what else comes in over the next few weeks!
