Latest Updates from Our Project:

Okapi + Fairy Moth Plush Progress Photos!
about 1 month ago – Fri, May 22, 2026 at 11:47:46 AM

Hi, all! I got some exciting plush updates, yay! 

🌸 Sakura Fox Fixed!

The manufacturer was able to make the muzzle of the Sakura Fox plush correct, ya! It is approved and will ship to me soon!


🌸 Fairy Moth Progress! 

We had some issues with the Fairy Moth Plush and had to simply the wings. After working on it closely with the factory, we found a look that works!! What do you think?  The manufacturer did an edit for me here but the final one will pretty much look like this!


🌸 Okapi Plush Progress!

Next up.. Okapi!! They are not finished yet but I was too excited to wait to wait until we got a final prototype and wanted to show you all now. I also wanted to share how I send revisions, which includes the redlined and a photo manipulation on the right side. 

The main changes are:

  • Muzzle Shape 
  • Printed (or sewn) stripes / no longer embroidery 

Best of all.. the legs are all floppy, yay!!! What do you think??)





🌸Cozy Server!

We have a super cozy Discord server if you want to talk to other Anxiety Fox fans! Everyone is super sweet and the server isn't too big or too small. Feel free to lurk!

More Prototypes!!!!
about 1 month ago – Thu, May 21, 2026 at 11:38:21 AM

Hi, all!

I got some prototypes in and I am so excited to share them with you all! 

🌸 Sakura Fox Progress

The Sakura Fox is nearly done!!! The only change is the dark muzzle that the manufacturer keeps messing up.. lol! Don’t worry, these muzzle will be fixed before the sample is shipped to me. It came out so cute!!!!

Note: Nose will be changed to light pink!


🌸 Sakura Bunny

I decided to update the Sakura Bunny’s colors too to match Sakura Fox’s, yay! The dark pinks are no longer highlighter neon pink so they look softer overall. I am so excited to get these ones in hand!


🌸 Jumbo Cross Fox Progress

Blowing up the current Cuddle Friend’s pattern means we had to do some tweaking on the proportions. That being said, we are SO close!! The photo below is after I edited the muzzle (it needed to be shorter) but overall, I am so pleased!!




🌸 Size Comparison! 

Here are photos from the manufacturer that shows the size differences from the Cuddle Friends and Jumbo Friends. As you can see, Jumbos are big big, yay!

Also, after speaking with the manufacturer, we decided that each Jumbo Friend will weigh 2 pounds each!


🌸 Remaining Prototypes Needing Approval

With that being said, I wanted to share the plush toys that are still in the prototype phase! Not bad for having 17+ plush unlocked, yay!

  • Jumbo - Dark Kitsune (very close to being done!)
  • Fairy Moth (wings being retouched)
  • Okapi 
  • Calico Fennec (only collar needs to be redone!)

🌸 Surveys Update

Thank you for your patience on the surveys! I didn’t want to rush them out due to prototypes still being in the works but we are on track on having them sent out next week. As always, once the surveys are live, I will make an update! :) I hope the new prototypes are hyping you all up in the meantime!

Flying Fox Bat Plush DONE!
about 1 month ago – Mon, May 18, 2026 at 01:01:28 PM

Hi, all!

I got some prototype photos of the finished flying fox bat and I couldn't wait until a bigger update to show you all.. hehe! Look at this cutie!! I decided to change the wings a little so they look more like bat wings and I am so glad I did. What do you think?!



🌸Survey Progress!

Prototypes are moving along smoothly but for those who are 100% set on what plush they want and don't want to wait, I will be sending surveys (hopefully) by Friday (pending Backerkit approval). I will make a formal update once the surveys are live.

Calico Prototype!
about 1 month ago – Thu, May 14, 2026 at 12:00:23 PM

Hi, all!

I hope you are all having an amazing week! I will be expecting funds by the end of next week, so I am anticipating surveys to go out around then as well. The date for surveys aren't 100% set until prototypes are done, so don't worry!

Calico Fennec Prototype!

I just got prototypes of the Calico Fennec and eeee, they are SO CUTE! The color will be updated (so it isn't just a tied rope) but I love the little yellow bell so much!


Pay-Over-Time Backers!

If you used the Pay-Over-Time feature as a backer, you will get your survey once you paid off your pledge. Don't worry, I will factor extra time for you all so you don't need to rush your selection either. :)

Thank you all so much again for the INCREDIBLE campaign!!!!

And we are FINISHED!
about 1 month ago – Fri, May 08, 2026 at 04:28:18 PM

And with that, my Cuddle Friends campaign is FINISHED!! Thank you all for showing your support on this project!!! ;___; You are all SO SO KIND! Anxiety Fox has always been a passion project of mine and it makes me so happy that you all love them as much as I love designing them!!!!

🌸What's Next?

Prototypes are still in the works and I will share them as I get photos! 

In 2 weeks, I will be sending out surveys! They will allow backers to…

  • Input your shipping details & pay for shipping fees
  • Select the exact plush toys and/or enamel pins that you want!
  • Add on additional items to your pledge!
  • And more!

Don't worry, I will explain how to navigate the survey in detail once they are live. They are super easy and straight forward, which is a reason why I continue using Backerkit to host my campaigns, yay!

For backers waiting for prototypes to be finished before finishing their surveys, I got you! Once all plush prototypes are finished and in hand for photos, I will ensure to add an extra couple of weeks to the survey deadline so you all can have plenty of time to make your choices! ❤️ just like my previous campaigns, I always ensure backers know exactly how each plush will look like before making a selection. I got your back!

Thank you all SO MUCH for this insanely successful campaign!!!!!! No matter how many I make, I still get so nervous about each one, but you all continue to show your love and support! I am forever grateful for every single one of you who support my projects and dreams!! 😭 😭 😭 

I am so excited to get this project started so you all can receive your comforting friends!!!
