Latest Updates from Our Project:

Stretch Goal designs for $2K
about 1 year ago – Thu, Apr 06, 2023 at 09:29:14 AM

Based on the votes on the survey, these are tentatively the next 3 designs at $2K. Please note that these are not the final designs or hat colors (as hat color matching takes at least a week) You still have a chance to vote on which starters get toastifyed in the survey! please click this survey hyperlink to help me out ;u; 

Also for those who left kind comments, tysm! It makes my day to read them! Regarding Rowlet's hat color, it does appear lighter than the mockup art piece due to a combination of lighting, material, and screen resolution. I would assume what you see in the sample photos is closer to what it will be in real life, but I won't know till I take photos at home. Sample photos are provided by my manu.

3rd set of designs goal unlocks are as follows: 

  • Chikorita at $2K (or a different grass type)
  • Torchic at $2.1K  (I'm set on torchic)
  • Piplup at $2.2K  (I'm set on piplup)

I don't know if we'll make it to this third set, but it would be amazing if we do! 

Current Stretch Goal update: Additionally, based on survey results, it looks like most of y'all want squirtle.  I'm considering some options at the end of this project:

1. fund remaining designs myself (scorbunny and squirtle)

2. depending on votes in the survey, switch the order of which stretch goal gets unlocked (for example if no one wants sprigatito, I will swap squirtle as the unlocked design) 

3. continue funding on backerkit for one more month

Giveaway: I've got a free-to-enter giveaway on my twitter and instagram. There will be one winner across the platforms for a prize of a hat or fanny pack of your choice! Please click on the hyperlinks for each platform!

Thank you all for the love and support of these Poke-toasts 🍞 if you know anyone who would love them, please feel free to share the project!

Final week of funding on Kickstarter: Giveaway, updates, new add-on, and more
about 1 year ago – Sun, Apr 02, 2023 at 04:03:34 PM

It's the final week of funding on Kickstarter! I'll treat this update more as a list so here we go ;u; If you're on the fence about grabbing a toasty dad hat, now is the time to grab em at discount and with kickstarter exclusive benefits! 

Giveaway: I've got a free-to-enter giveaway on my twitter and instagram. There will be one winner across the platforms for a prize of a hat or fanny pack of your choice! Please click on the hyperlinks for each platform! 

Survey: This is an unofficial survey but it also allows backers to have a voice in the next three starters I'll toastify! Please click this survey hyperlink to help me out ;u; 

Updates of unlocked design & more: Toast-gatito has been unlocked which also means every backer will receive a free matching vinyl sticker per hat selected.  That being said, we're looking at toast-bunny for the next goal and hopefully we can get toast-tle unlocked because there is a new freebie: 2" acrylic toast-vee magnets. 

freebie chart as of April 2nd 2023. The main difference between EB and Standard is the choice of charm.

I've also received some sample photos of the hats. Toast-let looks amazing, toast-kip could use a little work but still good, but toast-quil has definitely seen better days. We'll work on getting him fixed up.


And finally, here are all the unlocked designs and upcoming goals: 

Depending on the next three starters which backers vote on, I will continue funding on backer kit. 

Thank you all for the love and support of these Poke-toasts 🍞

All initial goals have been met!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 27, 2023 at 10:31:03 AM

Hi everyone! 

It's exciting to share that we've unlocked all the initial goals for the project! Here's what's is next: 

  • Stretch goals to unlock three more designs & more freebies
  • prelim survey for interests 
  • Giveaways

 Stretch Goals & Survey- The next three  designs are toast-gatito, toast-bunny, and toast-tle. I've gone ahead and created a survey to gauge interest for what designs people like most. please fill this out as it will also help me decide the third set of 3 to design drafts for. 

Giveaway - As promised, there is now a giveaway hosted on both twitter and instagram! Here's the tweet or instagram post. One winner will be selected and given their choice of any unlocked hat or fanny pack. Its open to everyone (except germany and russia due to shipping issues) and entries will be allowed till I'm ready to start shipping rewards! 

Freebies -Since we unlocked all initial goals, all backers will receive a random Pokémon acrylic charm per hat pledged. Early Bird backers may choose their charms. 

2" double-sided acrylic. There are 3 distinct designs but a shiny and a non-shiny variant of each starter.

The next freebies to unlock are matching vinyl stickers with the selected dad hat design. 

If Toast-tle is unlocked, I will include a kickstarter exclusive item. I'm looking at making either a pin or an embroidery patch. More details will be shared the closer we get to this goal! 

Updates - 3" stickers have arrived! they're Matte and super cute ;u; 

Here are some progress photos from my manu regarding the embroidery. there are still some tweaks needed for each design but they're looking good! 

mudkip needs the 'collar' removed, rowlet is mostly good, cyndaquil needs clean up on the head

And finally, here is a recap of all items unlocked so far! We have just a little over 2 weeks left! 

As always- Thanks from Borb ;u;

Funded and looking towards stretch goals!
about 1 year ago – Thu, Mar 16, 2023 at 06:34:58 AM

We've hit the initial funding goal & stretch goal which means we can look toward other designs and add-ons! Thank you so much for the support and for helping me bring these toasty dad hats to life ;u; 

Toast-let and Toast-quil designs are unlocked and we are close to unlocking the sticker book add-on. What is a sticker book? It's a booklet that has sticker paper to house and organizes stickers when you have sticker commitment problems like me (LOL) Your stickers stay fresh until you decide on their permanent living location. 

I also wanted to bring to attention that the sticker books and fanny packs are limited in quantity.  I am able to increase the quantity of the fanny packs if they're sold out by March 19th. Since I'm looking to use BackerKit again, I can make them available again for a second batch (that may or may not arrive later than the projected delivery date) So if you or a friend are interested in them, grab them now at a discount! 

Thanks again
