[PREORDER] Plush Keychain Blindbox Series 1

NOTICE: Do NOT cart out preorders together with other types of goods to avoid shipping delays. Thank you for cooperating!

--

The first (blindbox) series of plush keychains from Nawu by Naro is finally open for preorders! Now in sizes friendly for Singapore (10 - 15cm) and to hang off your bags.

Featuring:

- Thysaurus [NEW COLOUR, ~12cm]

- Frog [FROG COLOUR, ~10cm]

- Kinmaru [New party member, ~15cm from ears to feet, excluding tail]

- if you can't choose and would like to leave things to fate, you may choose 1 random design [preorder rate]

Each preorder will come with the blindbox packaging box, your chosen friend, and a special card that you typically find in a blindbox! Comes with an upgraded keychain that is modular and that you can remove if you need to switch out parts/wash the plush.

The current funding goal is 444 orders. This means if 444 people simply choose to order only 1 out of the 3 available friends, we can start production early.

After preorders close in mid Oct or earlier (if funding goal is reached), production will take place in China for about 30 days. I aim to deliver before Christmas 2025 so that everyone can have their festive surprise!

The retail sales version will be completely blindboxed, so if you desire a particular design, I recommend you to preorder the design you want so as to not leave things to chance (and you get to support a local creator this way)

For wholesale enquiries, please send a separate email to hello@nawubynaro.com

TLDR:

This is a preorder funding project. The estimated timeline [PLAN A] is as follows:

Now - Mid Oct: Preordering of plush keychain (can choose design)

Mid Oct: Close preorders (regardless of funding goal achievement)

Mid Oct-Nov: 30-Day production

Dec: Aim to deliver before Christmas

After: blind box only plush keychain retail sale

IF [PLAN A] fails, this is [PLAN B]:

1. Extend campaign past mid Oct until funding goal is reached.

2. Raise the price from $18 to $20 to cover platform fees but still allow choosing of design.

3. Delay the 30 day production cycle to March 2026

4. Aim to deliver in the Apr May timeframe.

5. The After part is still retail blind box only plush keychain retail sale.

Updates:

6 Sept 2025:

The design for the blindbox and its peripherals is in progress. What you see in the images are the photos of the samples of the plush keychains which may be subjected to minor design changes (like adding more fluff in Kinmaru's tail, minor shifting of details etc). I will update on my socials on both TT and IG so keep tuning in!

15 Sept 2025:

I realised that I made a few errors in this campaign. Firstly, I forgot to account for the platform fee of shopify. So i would have to increase the preorder to $20 after this initial preorder ends at 16 Oct to cover that shortfall. BUT before that happens, I will bear the full responsibility for all preorders within this campaign date. I hope not to raise the prices up unless i discovered another error. 

Secondly, I forgot to explain what would happen if we fail to reach our funding goal (Plan A). I spoke to my manufacturer about this, and we devised Plan B:

If we fail to reach the funding goal, instead of starting production at end Oct, the campaign will be extended, and we will push this to Mar 2026 production cycle instead. For those who are expecting to have this keychain before Christmas, please reconsider this in mind. Current orders made before 15 Sep 2025, feel free to reach out for a refund if you changed your mind.

In between the timeframe of a failed campaign, I will be self funding it through my artistic activities, because the definition of self-funding simply changed from formerly a full-time office salary to a full-time artist work payment. I am confident that opportunities for me to find the related funds are abundant and plenty, and I don't intend to push further than Mar 2026 on my goal.

It will still be a 3-design blindbox, thoughtfully designed by a local artist, just pushed back in its production.

17 Oct 2025: I've raised the prices to 20 to account for platform fees. I regret not having the energy to design the box of the blindbox, but i do hope to get that done up soon after i get some rest.

Early bird preorders are now closed and all preorders are normal birds. Plan B is in action.

*Colours of the plush keychain may slightly vary from screen colour and actual product. Sizes and design may vary slightly due to the nature of production. Do not hand this product to a child below 10 years old without parental guidance and supervision.
