Let's just jump into things! This is a long and important one.
Here's the TLDR; Crinkle Kit is struggling, prices are lowered, we need help. Scorchers samples and more on its way.
Hello Little Adventure’s! Strap yourself in, because it’s time for us to have a serious discussion. We’re gonna talk about things like updates on the Scorcher onesie, new prices, the current state and future plans for Crinkle Kit, and how we need your help!
First… Hiya! Lemme introduce myself a bit for those who don’t really know me. My name is Tori, but please call me Comet or Tiny. Some of you know my art under Cosmic Aquarium, others know me as the new sole owner of Crinkle Kit or maybe this is the first time you’re hearing my name! We’re a plural person with a big dream of creating something big with the BabyFur community for all kinds of age players. Why am I telling you this? To remind some of you that we aren’t a giant company, we are a single human creature trying our best in the world just like many of you.
So let’s start with how Crinkle Kit has just barely been able to keep its doors open. A lot has happened over the years we have been active. Having the wrong kind of help which led to a string of bad business decisions meant I had to take quite some time to correct things to get us in the green again. Not to mention with the ever changing state of the economy, it’s a very tough time to be a small business. Don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere! It just means we have to make some adjustments in hope of keeping our doors open and getting to a better place overall.
One of the first changes we have made is price adjustments, effective immediately. We were able to lower prices due to the market rates dropping since we are no longer in the height of Covid. We had started planning out Crinkle Kit in 2020 and officially opened our doors in 2021. Things were a lot different then, including prices. I’m not here to make a big profit, I’m here to help design products for the ABDL community and showcase other talented artists within our community. So we are passing these savings on to you!

Do you remember the 3 new printed onesies we brought in this time last year? Magical Maidens, Turtle Tots, and Berry Bears. Honestly I love all of the designs so much, and I was really hoping the community would think so too! I only ordered 160 of each design thinking we would sell out fast judging from our past sales from previous releases. We still have a little less than 150 of them left and it’s been a full year! We need your help to move these off of our shelves so we can bring in new designs. As a reminder we have reevaluated prices and onesies dropped to only $30 now! Consider helping out this small shop and getting a cute new onesie for your collection.
Speaking of new designs... We do have some new designs coming out soon! 3 new designs from 3 fantastic artists. We have samples of them being made as we speak and once we have them we will open up pre-orders. Stay tuned for sneak peeks in the coming weeks.
Now for the long awaited Scorcher Update. I’m sure you’re wondering, “Why hasn’t the Scorcher been rereleased yet? What's taking so long?”. And I share your curiosity and frustration, trust me. Scorcher onesie was the first product Crinkle Kit has ever made. It was the onesie that started this whole journey. We wanted to give it an updated look and overall better quality that would match our current size chart. However, we ran into a few issues. The biggest one being that our original onesie and Scorcher manufacturer isn’t around anymore?
When this happened we had found someone else to take over printed onesies, and we tried to get them to do our Scorcher onesies but their MOQ (minimum order quality) per color for Scorchers was far greater than we were anticipating. So we have been on a hunt for someone who would be up for the challenge. We found a few that would start a sample, and then admit it was too challenging of a design for their team. Determined to still bring this to life, we continued our search. And finally we think we found someone! We are finalizing the design now, and once we have a finished sample for product pictures we will share and open up pre-orders! We apologize for the inconvenience and can’t thank you all enough for the continued love and support as we figure this all out.
I think that’s it for all of the big updates. Thank you all for taking the time to read everything and support my silly little dream. This community is so amazing and I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to create something fantastic together.
