Hey there, Cookie Crew!

I hope everyone is having a great Monday! I have updates for y'all of the plushie nature. I'm including links to the videos as I had last time. They will only remain uploaded for a week, so be sure to check 'em out!!

Una: https://jmp.sh/80T3CT8y

Millie: https://jmp.sh/sN5KTGJX

I think he's done! They updated the ears to match the ones that won the poll and I am happy enough.  I hope everyone else is too! ^^

I am still on the fence about some things regarding Una! They fixed her beard and I am happy about that, but the tail still isn't quite right.  It may be the best we can hope for, however haha.

Some have expressed dissatisfaction with her bangs as well, but given that it might be extra to change them again, I need to know how big an issue it is for everyone. So, I'm going to include a poll! If Una is on your list, please feel free to participate!!

She is so close!!!! There are just a few things that I really see that need addressing. I can't wait to see the next version of her!

Removable bolt won, so if the manufacturer can make it happen, we'll go in that direction! I'm going to be touching up their ref this week, and finalize it so they can start sourcing fabrics and everything they need to do on their end haha.

Other than that, I think that's it!! At least for now! I'll be back soon. Please check out the poll if you have Una on your list of must haves!!

Talk to you soon!

Hey there Cookie Crew!!

We have another Madame update! They finally got her cute little peanut this time. Please click the link below to view the video! The link only works 24 hours, so if you don't see it, let me know and I'll upload it again ahaha.

I hope at some point we have an easier way to share videos here. I love sharing the plushies this way, opposed to just photos.

That said, she does need some tweaks! The yellow of her eyes should be white, the fabric of her stars should be actual glitter fabric, and there are some subtle adjustments I'd like done to the face, but we are definitely on the right track! At least, I think so. Let me know what you think!

We are also having issues with Paris Parfait. They cannot seem to source the fabric we were all hoping for. You know, the light pink, really curly soft stuff. They sent me a photo of the only long one they could find and it is very dark:


So, I'm not sure if we should see what it looks like, or... just go with a different fabric. If you have any fabric suggestions, feel free to leave them below. I'm about to go looking for some kind of alternative.

It kinda stinks, but so is the nature of the game, I suppose!

As far as Remi Razzles goes, it looks like blue and purple are the winner for the brain color!

I will be finishing up Remi's reference after one last Remi poll! Please only vote if you plan on grabbing Remi!

That's all I have for now. I'll be back soon! Thank you to all of you for your patience, support, and understanding. I am so grateful for all of you!!!

Hello Cookie Crew!!!

I just wanted to check in. Not a lot has changed. Our agent is ill, and she informed the next prototype would still be a few days out, so... there isn't much to report really! I'm just sitting around like y'all haha.

I am finally getting over whatever illness I had. I haven't had this much energy in a month, and I am so happy to feel this way again!

I managed to get all the plushies that I have photographed so we could update that darn preorder store, too! Now you can see them in their physical forms and it looks a lot better. I cannot wait to get the rest of the dolls up there once they get here haha.



I also am asking to pay for another sample of Dotty, because I realized on her reference that she is supposed to have bangs, and I kind of want to see it! I was SO impressed and happy with her original prototype, I just didn't even notice. I may ask if we can make her tail a bit bigger too, but we'll see.

I'm attaching a poll here about Remi's brains, too! I've had a lot of requests on brain color, so... I figured we can do one more poll. I apologize for how long it's taken to finalize Remi. Please only vote if you have an interest in purchasing them, though! I don't wanna muddy the poll too much if they aren't your cup of tea after all!

I think that is it for now. I'm going to be chipping away at more art work now that I'm feeling rejuvenated haha. 

I hope everyone is having a great start of the year. Please be safe out there. It seems like something is going around!

Howdy, Cookie Crew!!!

I hope everyone is having a good start to their 2025 adventure, and if not... I sure do hope things get better soon!

I've been sick since the beginning of December with a persistent cough and fatigue. I'm not sure what the heck it is as I tested negative for covid, but I'm probably seriously going to just go to a clinic tomorrow if I'm not coughing less. It is driving me absolutely bonkers.

All that to say, I haven't had the energy to do much, especially the last few days. I've been trying to force myself to rest, which is a difficult concept for me, but... yeah.

I can say that we don't have any new updates from the manufacturer yet.

There has been discussion over on the Discord about Millie's ears, though!


I've put together a poll, so if you plan to grab Millie, feel free to vote! 

In other news, I thought I would share that Evan (Snughouls creator) is going to be participating in Pintopia this year, and it's a really cute line if Cryptids are your thing!! The plushies are similar in size to Circus Sweeties, and super floppy, and super cute! I've hugged both the werewolf and the unicorn, and I can confirm. Super cute. Super cuddly.

Here is the link!

There is also this fancy shmancy pin opportunity for all you monster lovers!


It launches January 23rd! Consider sharing with the cryptid lovers in your life. Word of mouth helps so much!

I will be back very soon with more updates! Thank you for all the patience and support so far. Everyone has been so great and I'm honored by the trust and positivity!! 

Hello Cookie Crew!

I hope everyone had a great holiday, whatever you celebrate (if you celebrate)!! I am back with some fun updates, but I want to start off with Paris-- a not so fun update.

So as you can see here, these are the two fabrics they had, but neither of them are quite right in length or color. They are trying to source from different places at the moment and I truly hope they can find something similar to what we all hoped for, but if not... we might have to think of something else. I hope that isn't the case, however!

Whoo hoo! We have our first sample of Madame and while it isn't perfect, I think it's a pretty great start! They forgot to give her her peanut, and there are some face issues I expected in general, but I think we'll get her where she needs to be pretty quickly! She looks a little sinister right now hahaha.

Oh my gosh, I don't have MUCH to say about Millie. He is looking so cute to me! Some folks have expressed they think his ears could be droopier, but I really don't know haha. I am going to sit on him for another day and then I'll be back with edits. :3c For now, please look at this pink bubblegum fluff ball. 


They gave him a mouth too, btw...

I think that is all I have the stamina to type at the moment. I apologize, but I have been sick all the month with low energy and a cough. I have no idea what is causing it, and I'm probably going to break down and go to a clinic this week.

Before I go, though! It seems the majority would like Remi Razzles to have their head bolt. So I have made another poll about whether it should be detachable or not. Please only participate in it if you plan to grab Remi!

I also discussed with folks over on Discord the idea of Remi having a little plush needle attached to the zipper on their head, but there were mixed thoughts. Like if we had the needle it should be the needle instead of the bolt because it looks too busy. I don't know. I just thought I would share it with you all, too!



If y'all have Discord, but you aren't part of the Discord, definitely consider checking it out. I am going to make sure I keep updating here, and I will update more frequently, because I know not everyone is on the discord, but it's easier to post videos there and such!

DISCORD INFO: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/charmsey/circus-sweeties/updates/12856?ref=discussion-social-button

Okay! I think that is all for now. I will be back soon! I really appreciate all the support and patience. Y'all have made my life so much better and I appreciate it!!
