Dragon Hoard Keepers - A Plush & Enamel Pin Campaign

Hello everyone! 

Hope you’re having a wonderful week! It’s been a moment, and well, we’ve been buried in spreadsheets, samples, and a lot of behind-the-scenes magic.

Today, we have a fun update packed with important stuff! Grab a cozy beverage and let’s dive in!

🎉Surveys Are Live! Locking: Early April

Surveys are officially going out! Filling out the survey is your way of picking out all your goodies and maybe adding something a little extra. Please keep an eye on your inbox. We plan on locking and charging cards in early April with accurate counts for production.

Reasons you may not receive your pledge:

For our amazing  Early Bird, Returning, and/or Cross-Collab backers, your gift freebies will automatically be added to your order. You’ll be able to confirm from the addon’s menu of your survey. If something looks missing, please reach out!

Know a friend who would just love to get in on the campaign? Send them our way! The preorder store is now open for them.

Note for existing backers: Do not use this store. You will manage your order through the pledge survey. Using this preorder store will duplicate your order and create complications.

Open store here!

Surprise! Unlockable Green and Purple Dragons! 

Okay, so…we couldn’t help ourselves. We really want to add a few more colors to the Dragon Hoard Keeper family.

Meet Purple Debbie and Green Pickles!

These will only become available to backers if unlocked within the pledge manager and preorder store. So if you’re vibing with Debbie or Pickles, be sure to add them to your survey. We have samples coming soon, and we can’t wait to show them off! 

Much of the prep work for the Dragon Hoard Keeper Plushies is already done. Production files for the pins are still being put together. Production should begin shortly after we lock the pledge manager in April. We’ll keep you posted on the timeline as things move along.

If you have any questions about the survey, please reach out to [email protected]. We’ll do our best to respond within 24 hours. Be sure to check out our FAQ for quick answers.

The best folks to help you with navigating the Backerkit space are the Backerkit Support Team. They can be reached at [email protected]. Questions about the project itself will be forwarded to me, and I will apply as soon as I can. Please do not message me on other platforms, as I may miss it. 

Thank you for all your support! We’re so excited to bring these dragons to life!

Until next time,

Arielle + Ryan

We did it! The Dragon Hoard Keepers campaign has officially come to an end. It’s been such a fun ride getting to bring these little guys to life with you all. We’re so grateful for your help in this.

A super thank you for everyone who upped their pledge or jumped on in the last 30 mins! Elaine the Blue Dragon Plush and her little charm are unlocked! You guys are heroes! 

So what’s next? For the next few weeks, we will be finalizing the pledge manager surveys, locking down production timelines, and obsessing over every little detail. We’ll be sure to pop in with more information as things take shape. Keep an eye on your email for updates.

Thank you again! Seriously, we only get to do this because of you guys. 

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or ideas, or to just share an idea you're excited about to [email protected] or in the comments below. We read and appreciate everything you send us!

We are off to celebrate and rest over the weekend. Until next time!

The last half hour, and we are very close to unlocking Elaine the Blue Dragon Plush!  We need to get to 22k!

In case you missed it, we crunch the numbers and were able to lower the stretch goal for the blue plush. If we get to 22k and stay there, we can make all three colors!

We can do it!!!

Hi there!

We’re finally on the 24 hour stretch! Make sure you lock in your collections today for the best pricing!

And look at these adorable little guys who flew JUST in time to join the party!

Their teeth haven’t grown in just yet! And such tiny wings! 🥰

Family photo!



Carrying on the family trade.



Their maws hold tight with a magnet. So you can store precious dice and trinkets to stay safe inside. Beware, too much force will still force their jaws open. They aren’t crocodiles.

Don’t let their size fool you, we were able to fit two full sets of dice plus a few extras in these lil chonkers.

Add some of these lil guys to your pledge here!

Thank you again (and again and again) for your wonderful support. Because of you, we (and other creators in this space) are able to make such cool stuff. We wouldn’t be able to do this without you!

Before we go, we’d like to share three other projects that haven’t quite reached their goal yet. Please give them a last look, and maybe you’ll find a new favorite friend!

1. Anxious Cheetah & Emotional Support Puppy: Based on the real, heartwarming practice of giving anxious cheetahs a puppy companion for comfort. Don’t we all need a friend like that?



2. Lily Pad Ita Bag: A lilypad backpack/purse that’s a perfect home for your pin hoard. I just adore the interior pattern that is filled with delightful little green friends.


3. Paw-fect Maids: Meet Mimette! She’s all business. But don’t let that look turn you away. Just look at that cute blue with the bell! P.S.: Backing both Paw-fect Maids and Anxious Cheetah gets you some special collaboration goodies.



Elemental Myth - Okay, one more plug for our collaboration partner! But only because we really love their work! If you haven’t had a chance yet, check out the Elemental Enamel Pins by StrangeLittleCreatures. We adore their Kitsune Blind and Blacklight Phoenix pieces. It’s been a real joy being able to work with them!

Okay! Onwards to the final stretch! Let’s see how far we can get. 

We’ll see you on the other side!
