My Story
I have an avid love for the Japanese snacks, mochi. Not only do they taste absolutely delicious, but they are soft and squishy! Then it dawned on me. Why not make adorable plush inspired by the cute, round, squishyness of mochi?! I began making Mochimon, Pokemon inspired mochi plush.
I aspire to continue making as many Mochimon as possible; however I would love to upgrade the quality of materials. I currently use fleece for all my Mochimon, but I wish to upgrade all the plush to minky and cuddle plush fabrics to make them even more loveable. In order to successfully do this, I am starting a Kickstarter to convert my entire fleece inventory to minky and cuddle plush fabric in enough colors to fulfill any custom Mochimon request.
If funding is successful, all Mochimon will be made entirely of minky and cuddle plush fabrics!
***ALL PLEDGES STARTING JULY 3RD WILL HAVE AN OCTOBER SHIP DATE DUE TO ABUNDANCE OF PLEDGES IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME :)
Mochimon are available in 2 sizes
Mini: about the size of a softball
Mega: about the size of a soccer ball
Examples of Mochimon

Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
-
Any of the plush backer rewards and stretch goal items can be any Pokemon of choice, not just the ones shown. Posted pictures are just some samples of creations I have made in the past.
-
If you would like to add on any additional item; increase your pledge to accommodate for the add on item. Ex. If you already pledged $35 for the Masterball tier and want to add an additional hat; increase your pledge amount to $55, but stay on the reward tier you've already selected so that you will receive all the $35 tier items plus the additional hat add on.
You can message or email me with your requests of additional items for now so that I can get a head start on production; otherwise the official survey will be sent out at the end of the kickstarter to collect all necessary information.
