Hey everyone! We are launching a Makeship Petition on October 7th to hopefully create a plushie of our dear creepy little friend Herbert the cat! This is your chance to bring him to life... if you dare! You can sign up on the Makeship page to get an alert when the Petition goes live: https://www.makeship.com/petitions/herbert-the-cat-from-the-excavation-of-hobs-barrow How do Makeship Petitions work? Once the Petition is fully live (on October 7) you can pledge $2 toward your plushie. We need 200 unique supporters to pledge $2 to make Herbert come to life and kickstart a full Campaign! You'll then be charged the remaining balance automatically when the Campaign launches. The full standard retail price for a plushie on Makeship is $29.99 (plus p&p) If the Petition fails to reach 200 supporters, you will receive a refund of your $2. Why Herbert? We originally had the idea to create a plushie quite a while ago, so we ran a poll on Twitter to see who people might like to see as a plushie. Herbert won, with Thomasina a very distant second! Why can't I see the plushie design? Makeship only create the design and produce the plushie if 200 people pledge in the petition, this is their business model. If the Petition is successful, we will work closely with their designers to bring Herbert to life. Makeship are renowned for making high quality plushies, you can see some of their current designs here: https://www.makeship.com/shop/featured We are very excited about this one! If you'd like to bring a Herbert into your life this is your chance - and your support is very much appreciated :) Many thanks, Shaun Cloak and Dagger Games
