Since this doesn’t really relate to gaming, I thought it would be perfect to post in the general blog.
So if you’ve heard of the Best Boi’s in VRChat, there’s now a plush version of the furry, that is available for preorders. The plush can be found here, and its base cost is $25 (with all costs in USD). S&H will cost you an additional $9.95 for international orders, and $4.95 for domestic.
Twitchin gets 5% of every order, which she has agreed to divide evenly between herself and Kibble.

Now how the website works, orders will remain in a preorder state until a set goal is reached within two weeks from the time of its posting (with the goal being 100).
-If the goal fails to reach, people that have preordered will receive a full refund within 5 business days after it ends.
-But if the goal is reached, the orders will be processed within 6 to 8 weeks, and the cycle begins again.
Not really a fan of this practice.
.
Now I’m not saying the $30 pricetag ($25 including S&H) isn’t worth for what you get (as I know some plushies are twice this amount, depending on their size), but I feel it could go on more important things.
Plus, I’m not really a fan of plushies.
EDIT, 6/17: The window is closing to get your hands on a plushie, as the offer is about to expire, in just under a day from now. The current goal is 52% out of 100.
EDIT2, 6/18 (Immediate rewrite, new info): The window is open through Wednesday (closing midnight EDT Thursday). The goal must be reached by then, or it won’t matter.
So please let these poor plushies get to their new homes, by buying one (or three).
Don’t let them be plushie’less. Current level of the goal (of the 19th), stands at 72% of 100.
EDIT3, 6/20: Less than a day remains until the extension ends, and the goal isn’t anywhere close to completion (the last time I looked, shows 76% of 100).
If a large wave of people don’t come and buy one, it’s likely the goal will (again) not be met. I’d like to hope that isn’t the case, but at this time, I don’t see it. So please, buy one.
EDIT4: WE DID IT!! GOAL REACHED!! My thought that the goal would likely fail to reach, thankfully wasn’t true. Now Twitchin has been buying most of them (and is also planning to give them away during her streams).
Soon it was down to the wire; 99% of 100. It felt like everyone was looking at me, waiting for me to purchase. And after spending a minute thinking hard about it (and how I would explain this ‘new arrival’ to my parents)… I purchased the last one and got the goal at 100% of 100!
I did it for them, and it feels quite good to be the deciding factor (even though someone else probably would had bought it). But we DID IT!
All of you (who bought a plushie), did it! Well done! But most importantly, the ones that decided to give us a second chance to reach it, let’s thank them as well.

And with the goal finally reached, the plushie can now be freely purchased (without any minimum purchasing limit).
