Crowdfund This: KikiDoodle’s Deep Sea Purrmaids
Be prepared for a siren song of epic (and fuzzy) proportions! Designer toy enthusiasts no doubt recall KikiDoodle‘s original Purrmaid plush Kickstarter from last May. Well, she has returned with three new cat/fish hybrids that are sure to make you go “Awww!” in her Deep Sea Purrmaids Kickstarter.
The first of the three is the Bombangler, a cross between a Bombay cat and an angler fish. This ingenious plush measures 13 inches long and 10 inches tall with glow in the dark eyes and a posable lure. It even has a hidden talent: it can hold your smartphone in its jaws!
Next up is the Squitten, a squid/kitten! This plush is a whopping 22 inches long and about 5 inches wide. Why so long? The Squitten has powerful magnets in its two paws that let it hang grab on things and just general hang around. Cool, right?
Speaking of hanging around, the final plush of the trio, the Jelly Angora (a mix of a jellyfish and a Turkish Angora cat), looks precious when hung up. It can also sit elegantly on its tail if there isn’t an place for the lovely Purrmaid to dangle. Just barely shorter than the Squitten, the Jelly Angora hangs 21 inches long with an 8 inch wide skirt.
Finally, we get to the Baby Purrs. There are two available in this Kickstarter, the Blue Baby Jelly Purr and the Bombanglet (or Baby Bom). The Blue Baby Jelly Purr will not be sold after the Kickstarter. There is also a promotion in which a Blue Baby Jelly Purr will be included with your package if you select a backer tier that includes two or more of the regular plushes. Of course, there is also a tier for just one or both of the Baby Purrs. Heck, there is a tier for pretty much any option you can imagine.
KikiDoodle is currently running a Design-your-own-Purrmaid contest as well. It will run until August 22 and all the details can be found here. Alternatively, there is also a tier that nets you all the prizes from the contest, including having your idea turned into a brand new Purrmaid plush (which you will be credited for). You can check out some of the entries on KikiDoodle’s twitter.
The Deep Sea Purrmaids Kickstarter ends on August 27 at 12:02 P.M. Pacific. It currently has $25,698 pledged of the $33,000 needed to succeed. There are plenty of tiers for every budget, from $5 to $600, and every little bit helps! You can check out the Kickstarter campaign here.
