Thoth Plush Unlocked, New Pins, and Upgrading your pledge
8 months ago
– Thu, Mar 28, 2024 at 08:43:41 PM
Hello everyone,
There was an energetic rush to add the Anubis Mochi Plush to pledges, so we're pleased to announce that the Thoth (Djehuty) Mochi Plush has been unlocked as well! So if you were looking forward to getting a trio of mochi plush, now all of the options are available.
Here's what he looks like, as a reminder:
We've selected some new deities to add to our collection: Raettawy, Amesemi, Tutu, and Nun:
Raettawy is the feminine aspect of the sun god Ra (or Re). Amesemi is the wife of Apedemak and a sort of goddess of queenship in Meroe. Tutu is a sphinx god from the Late Period whose role was to protect worshippers. Finally, Nun is the god of the primordial watery abyss from which Ra arose.
We expect to have their concept sketches ready in the next few days, so definitely look forward to that.
We have also been contemplating adding a deified Seti I, as his sha-headed sphinx form is very interesting and right up our alley...
We have been looking into producing a physical booklet for the project and getting some quotes. So far, it seems promising that we can print the informational booklet in hardcopy form, though we still want to do a little more research before we finalize it as an option.
You'll likely be able to add it during the survey phase of the project (which will happen around April 15th or so, when we ask the backers which items they want for their rewards).
If you are looking to adjust your pledge (by switching to a higher tier or adding one of the new items), one of our community members has shown how to do so with the following screenshots:
Step 1: Navigate to the top of the page and click "Manage your pledge"
Step 2: Click on "Change Your Pledge"
Step 3: Select a new tier, or if you want to add a new add-on item, click your "Pledge" amount
Step 5: Once you have selected your add-on items, click "Continue"
Step 6: Confirm your selection by clicking "Confirm changes"
The campaign has entered the last few days, so definitely be sure to add any remaining items you're eying now that they've all been unlocked!
We'll provide another update when the new pin designs are done.
Until next time,

Anubis Plush Available + Other Updates

Hello everyone,
We attended a trade show this past weekend and enthusiastically promoted the Kickstarter there. As a result... we're happy to say we have the Anpu (Anubis) Mochi Plush available now! You can add this product to your pledge by selecting it as an add-on.
Here's what the plush looks like:
The Djehuty (Thoth) Plush is the next plush to be unlocked. You can take a look at the sample design that's in progress below:
Another new item in the add-on menu is the Miniature Ibis Statue.
The Miniature Sha Statue item was a lot of fun to design, so naturally we tried to make an ibis too! The lunar headdress was a little complicated in a medium like this (the stone above is strawberry quartz, and small pieces tend to break easily), but it still came out very cute! It will come in a few stone options like the Mini Sha, which will be available on the survey after the campaign is over.
On the pin front, we expect to have another four designs for the campaign, so you can look forward to seeing those later in the month. We haven't decided which deities to choose for the last few designs yet, so you can share your thoughts below!
Thanks for supporting our campaign!

Hello everyone,
We've added a new add-on to the campaign! Now you can collect all your favorite Netjer designs as individual stickers for $2.00 each.
You can find the individual stickers add-on by going to the Kickstarter add-ons menu in the campaign.
As an update, the Sha Mochi Plush is currently sitting at 25/50 pre-orders, or about halfway through! We still need to reach 50 pre-orders to release the Anubis/Anpu Mochi Plush, so if you're interested in adding a Sha Plush to your order, definitely give it a look.
For today's update, let's have a sneak preview of the info card for Bat:
We're also currently looking into physical booklets for our info book. Is that something you'd like to see added to the campaign? Would you enjoy having a physical booklet? Let us know in the comments!
Have a good evening, everyone!

All pins unlocked - a successful launch!

Hey everyone!
Thanks to everyone's enthusiasm and love for the project, the launch was a huge success. Within fourteen minutes, we unlocked all eighty-one pins (the final goal was set at $20,000). Fun fact: the project was recorded as funding the first $250 goal 34 seconds after the launch. :)
That's extremely exciting for us, as we're delighted to make the whole set available to potential backers who view the project. Many of the deities we included in the set were important to the Ancient Egyptians but are not well known in the modern age, and having those gods and goddesses represented to the public has always been an important goal for this project.
Of course, if there is any Ancient Egyptian deity important to you that we didn't include, you're welcome to make the suggestion in the comments!
For your reference, here's the poster that ObliviousAlly (one of our community members) made with all the deities and their names. On the campaign page, you can also find the deities' alternate names (Greek names, Egyptological spellings, etc.).
If you would like to share a poster of the project with any friends, here's one you can use:
Thank you very much for supporting this project! It has been close to our hearts for over a year now, and it's a delight to finally share it with everyone ❤️
