SURVEY TIME!~
over 1 year ago – Thu, Oct 13, 2022 at 11:14:47 AM

Testing surveys now! 

I'm sending out a smoke test this evening! 

Then if everything is working as intended I will send the rest of the surveys out tomorrow night (Around 7pm PST) October 13th. 

On the survey the first question will ask what type of sushi bird you would like for your pledge:

If you ordered multiple birds you will be able to specify what colors you'd like for each plush!

If you ordered 1 plush and no extras your order should look something like THIS: 

Please note that it says 0.00 credit remaining if you haven't added any add-ons! 

Step 2 of the survey allows you to add any extras!

You can add extra Sushi Bird plushes and Sticker Sets!

You can also add a  tip if you'd like to help fund the new prototypes for series 2!

 (Very appreciated but no pressure!)


Know someone who wanted a plush but missed out or had to back out for whatever reason?

Please give them this link to the PREORDER SHOP!

If you have any issues or are missing anything please email [email protected] !! 

I will be happy to assist you!


I am so excited to see everyone's orders come in. 

I will update once I receive the KS funds+ Place the orders for the plush 

(FINALLY aaaaaAA)

Campaign Complete+ Surveys/Post campaign pre-orders
over 1 year ago – Sat, Oct 01, 2022 at 10:26:10 PM

WE DID IT!~

Thanks to everyone for your part in promoting and funding the campaign!~

Now that we're in post-campaign let's go over some things:

You will be able to pick your sushi bird color when you receive your survey.

Surveys will most likely be sent out OCTOBER 10th!

I don't want to guarantee they will go out on the 10th since I still need to finalize some details with my fulfillment company on shipping  prices but I will send out an update once Surveys are about to go out!


Backers will be able to add on:

Classic/Sakura Sushi Bird for 30 USD

Sushi Bird Sticker set for 15 USD


I will open preorders for non-backers when Surveys go out.

Classic/Sakura for 30 USD each.

Sticker sets will be 20 USD.


Additional sales after the campaign will be going towards prototyping for Series 2! 

Series 2 includes Sesame bird Luna bird and Bagel bird. I will definitely be making enamel pins an early tier for this campaign!

I will begin prototyping Sesame at the end of this month and you should start seeing images of progress in mid-October. 

I will be posting updates about Series 1 and 2 here until the launch of the new KS page for Series 2! 

You can also follow me on Twitter for mini updates and my other art projects: https://twitter.com/KichiArts

Thanks to everyone for your support and hard work in helping sushi bird come to life. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

SAKURA BIRD FUNDED
over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 30, 2022 at 11:45:34 AM

GREAT NEWS!! 

Sakura Bird Has 100% Funded! 

As promised this means that after the campaign I will be prototyping for Sesame, Luna, and Bagel bird! 

For everyone that has pledged for the early bird tier you can add a 2nd bird (or more) on your survey after the campaign! You will also be able to add on extra stickers if you'd like.

You can also add extra pins if we are able to fund that tier! 


September 30th is the LAST DAY to edit your base pledge and to remind any friends that have been waiting for Sakura bird to join! 


As for Sesame, Luna, and Bagel it's likely those won't fund this run, but, that's okay as I will be running a 2nd campaign next year to make sure they become a reality! 

Next year I will launch Sushi Birds Series 2!

This campaign is launching next year after Series 1 has been sent out to backers to make sure that I: 

  • Take care of The Series 1 campaign completely before starting a new one
  • Have plenty of time to prototype Series 2
  • Am able to advertise the campaign effectively! 

I will have more details about Series 2  as production begins later this year. You will all receive updates about the prototyping for these variants!  

I am looking forward to bringing all of the Sushi Bird designs to life and into your hands!

30% Funded and Updated Stretch goals!!
over 1 year ago – Thu, Sep 29, 2022 at 11:54:02 PM

It's day 2 and we're already 30% funded!! 

Hi everyone thank you so much for your support so far. We're well on our way to reaching the first tier for the stretch goals and I'm so grateful! I have an important update for the stretch goals:

 I've lowered the thresholds for the stretch goals so that it will be easier for us to reach them!!!

  • Stickers are now at 2,500 USD
  • Sakura Sushi Bird is now at 4,000 USD
  • Sesame Sushi Bird is now at 6,000 USD
  • Luna Sushi Bird is now at 8,000 USD

And a NEW Stretch goal has been added

  • MYSTERY SUSHI BIRD 10,000

These changes were suggested from several groups of friends and other artists who have run KS campaigns so I'm choosing to trust them and I agreed with their points. So let's pursue these new goals together!!
