Plushtodon pre-orders now open

While our team is working hard on finishing up the 5.0 update for Mastodon, I have something else to share with you. This year, instead of launching sales towards the end of November, leaving very little time for shipping before everything closes down for the holidays, we’re opening pre-orders for our latest #Plushtodon models right now. Take a look at them!

By now, you know the drill: They’re made of soft velboa, are ICTI Ethical Toy Program and Intertek WCA certified, and are suitable for children 3 and older. Here’s the important info: We expect to be able to start shipping them beginning of November. If you order something else in the same order with them (and you should, to make the most of the shipping cost, and because we make really cool, high quality merch), everything will be shipped together only once the plushies are ready. If that’s not how you want it, order separately.

What else is there that you could attach to your order, I hear you ask? Well, as it happens, this year marks the 10th anniversary of Mastodon itself. That’s right, we’ve been around for 10 years. October 16, 2016 is when I first publicly shared a link to Mastodon on a link aggregator site, bringing in the first wave of users and officially “launching” the project. To celebrate the anniversary, our artist Dopatwo and I prepared a design, screen printed on hoodies and t-shirts (this time, not just unisex t-shirts, but ones made for women as well, as you requested).

If you’re not familiar with fabric printing techniques, screen printing is a really cool one, giving a very vibrant and durable result. And of course we only put them on high quality cotton. We also still have lots of “I write alt text” t-shirts, which have one of my favourite Dopatwo artworks on them. As for the small stuff, we’ve got 3 different enamel pin designs available and some cute sticker sheets. Here you can check out people showing off their Mastodon plushies on Mastodon!

Anyway, thanks for sticking with us!
