ALL GOALS FUNDED! What do you want to see next?
about 1 month ago – Sun, Apr 26, 2026 at 03:48:07 PM

Dropping in for a quick update between the stretch goal polls to say: WOW!! Just three days into this campaign and we have reached all our stretch goals! To say we're floored by your guys' support would be an understatement, thank you all for sharing this nerdy love with us. Watching folks gas up their favorite weird little prehistoric animals has been a dream come true, so keep it up!

BUT! We've got over two weeks left to go! So i want to hear it from you guys first...
What else do you want to see for this campaign?

More mini pins? More stickers? Some other type of swag you haven't seen yet? We'd definitely love to host more polls and give some other eras some love, but if there's any popular dinos you DEFINITELY want to see represented, shout them out too!

Thanks again, and we'll be back with the outcome of the Permian poll tomorrow! The front-runners are SHOCKINGLY neck and neck, make sure to go settle the score if you haven't voted already! 

Permian Poll UNLOCKED & Pliocene Poll Winner!

🐅 Pliocene Poll Winner

It was a close shave with the Terror Bird, but the Smilodon reigns supreme as king of the ice age! The famous saber-toothed tiger is available to pledge for now, but you'll have a better look at the pin design in the next update as we work to depict it.

Which brings us to the next good news... the Permian Era stretch goal has just been unlocked!! And we need your help to decide which animal makes it to the lineup!

⛰️ The Permian Is Upon Us

Known best for the dominance of theraspids and synapsids, these "mammal-like reptiles" weren't all that roamed the land during the Permian! Life would undergo a huge boom in biodiversity, from ray-finned fish in the oceans, to the largest insects that had ever roamed planet Earth.

If there's an animal you feel strongly about and don't see on the poll, make sure to comment them below! Depending on the campaign's success, runner-ups may see a comeback, even if they don't win first place.

Vote below for what animal you want to see represent the Permian Era!

🎉FUNDED!🎉 Stretch Goals & What's to Come!

🔥 Campaign Funded, and THEN Some! 

Not only has the campaign reached its goal of $750, but you guys have blazed past the first four stretch goals! Equus, Allosaurus, Baryonyx, and the yet-to-decide Pliocene animal are all on the table to pledge for.

We're on track to seeing through the last two goals, so an additional "Set of Nine" pledge tier is being added to reflect this, for folks who want to add all the new pins without fussing with add-ons!


🦣 The Ice Age is Upon Us

The Pliocene poll closes tomorrow afternoon, so make sure to cast your vote for what ice age animal makes it to the lineup, or suggest your favorite if you don't yet see it! So far, the sabertooth, terror bird, and dire wolf are battling for the top spot. 

Afterwards, we'll host the Permian poll and see which mammal-like reptile is a league above the rest once and for all. Thanks for helping build the campaign as it goes!

🐩 Puppysaurs Collab!

Hosted by the amazing YuuniNya, Puppysaurs is collaborating with Paleo Pals for Beasts & Botanicals! Back both projects and you'll receive not one, but 2 FREE exclusive stickers, one from each campaign! They'll add themselves to your orders should you back both. 


Thank you so much again for an PHENOMENAL launch on this first day! Make sure to check out the other incredibly talented creators contributing to Beasts & Botanicals while you're here, but we'll be back soon enough with the first poll winner and their design!

24 Hour Countdown!! Pliocene Stretch Goal Poll 🦣
about 2 months ago – Wed, Apr 22, 2026 at 11:43:54 AM

Howdy, paleo pals! I am absolutely thrilled to take part in the Beasts & Botanicals collab with so many talented artists, we're excited to bring you goodies like exclusive collab stickers, a huge zine, and so much more!

This time around, I'm setting up the campaign a bit differently than I normally would: one or a couple animals will represent history's most famous eras of life, and I need YOUR guys' help to vote on the best of the best to fill out the stretch goals!

I have a few definites you'll see in the base campaign, but if there's popular demand, or we blaze past the goals I already have planned, you'll be seeing more and more options to pitch your favorite prehistoric beasties 🦖

Thank you so much for your interest, I'll see you all at campaign launch tomorrow! But for now...

Vote below for what animal you want to see represent the Pliocene Era!
What's YOUR favorite ice age titan?
