Latest Updates from Our Project:

SURVEYS DROP TODAY!!
2 days ago – Wed, Mar 12, 2025 at 09:00:49 AM

Hello hello!! Surveys will be going out in the next hour or so!! The faster we can get them filled out, the sooner production will begin and your rainbeanies will make it home to you!! Shipping is also collected through the survey - I will not be charging cards for add-ons and shipping until about May!! 

One other thing to note is that some of the mini pins that were left unfunded are available as SEPARATE add-ons with goals to unlock each of them!!! Let me know if you have trouble finding them. If the goal is not met, you will not be charged for the pin.

You will be able to change your address right up until the plushies ship out, so no worries if you plan to move!!

I will continue to update as soon as production begins and we get a good estimate of when the plush will arrive and ship out. Thank you again for your support!!! :D

FINAL HOURS! mini pin goal updates/adjustments + rainbow/doodles turnarounds!
30 days ago – Wed, Feb 12, 2025 at 05:47:18 PM

WE ARE IN THE FINAL STRETCH! Please make sure your pledge is finalized before the end of the campaign!! You may add things to your pledge once the survey rolls around, but you cannot decrease your pledge level, so be sure you have the pledge you would like!! Here are a few final notes:

Mini-pin Goal Updates:

I have changed the mini pin goals for doodles and critter to 400 backers, a goal which we have hit, so they are now unlocked! We have also unlocked cookie, taffy, and raincloud, and are very close to unlocking dash!! :D

I am considering a 'sponsor a mini pin' pledge slot. It would be about $250 and would unlock any locked mini pin of your choice. If anyone is interested in that please let me know and I'll add the pledge level asap!! :D

Rainbow and Doodles Turnarounds:

So sorry it's taken me so long to upload these~! They are added to the campaign story page now for you to see :D

As a reminder, even though we most likely will not unlock series 2 this time around, I still plan to do an additional rainbeanies campaign in a while to unlock more critters! :D So never fear if your fave didn't make it this time around. 

Please let me know if you have any questions about your pledge or otherwise and I'll try to get back to you asap!! :D

MINI PIN GOALS ADDED! + closer look at the sticker sheet!
about 1 month ago – Fri, Jan 31, 2025 at 05:39:14 PM

Hello hello!! This morning I was thinking about the mini sticker sheet I had drawn and realized the art would also make super cute mini dyed metal enamel pins... and since we have a bit of a ways to go before 30k I though adding some mini pin goals could be super super fun!! :D 


Here are the goals for the mini pins:


I will update the graphic on this post as they unlock!! :D I am confident we will get through the first few goals, so I have added a pledge level for a pin as well as an add-on for any pledge above a sticker pledge!! :D

The mini pins will be dyed metal with UV printing, around 1" tall each, and will have two pin posts if possible for maximum security.

Here's a closer look at the sticker sheet with the same artwork as well!! It will be 4x6 inches so super little stickers, and holographic and kiss-cut to the artwork to mimic sticker sheets you used to get in the 90's. :3c This is available as an add-on for any pledge!!


My idea for the sheet was to give each critter a little accessory, so that is why most of them have bows or bandanas or collars! I am really excited about this sticker sheet and really love the artwork for it so I hope we get to make pins for many of the critters!! :3c My absolute favorites are Dash, Doodles, and Rainbow but I'm quite fond of all of them!!

I am also considering one more add-on item, maybe a lanyard, multi-charm holder, or something similarly functional? These could be a fun way to carry around your rainbeanie :D Let me know what you think of that!

SECRET GUYS UNLOCKED! + info on the series 2 stretch goal!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 11:35:51 AM

WOOHOO!! Please meet our two secret guys, doodles and rainbow!! :D I am working on editing their turnaround photos, but I will have them added to the campaign soon!! :D Here is a group shot of everyone in series 1, and a few photos I took of doodles and rainbow!
Here are their bios as well, to get to know them better!~


As far as what's next: If we are able to reach 30K in funding, we will unlock the first four plushies of series 2 that will be backers choice!!! Here are some of the critters we would be able to choose from:

I also have concepts for two more raindragon characters, but thought if we choose to do so, it might be fun to create one as a group as well!
There are also other colorful critters I think would be very cute rainbeanies, such as our pajama buddy friends ollie, leo, and lumi, who have not made their plushie debut just yet but will this spring on my shop, or gleep and glorp the alien critters, or pupshroom the mushroom puppy!!

Let me know who you'd be most excited to see a rainbeanie of!! :D

In order to reach the 30K goal we will need to be sure to share the campaign as much as possible! I definitely know it's within the realm of possibility if we try our hardest :3c If series 2 isn't unlocked this time around, there will be another rainbeanies campaign down the line for some series 2 critters, so even if we're not able to reach that funding this time around there is still a chance your fave could be made! For future campaigns I may also add rainbeanies goals within other campaigns as well, so I intend to make plenty more! :D

TWELVE rainbeanie plushies UNLOCKED + raindragon lore!
about 2 months ago – Sun, Jan 26, 2025 at 03:56:04 PM

Hello and THANK YOU so much for a wonderful launch!! We have already unlocked twelve of the series 1 rainbeanies and have less than 1k to go before unlocking the final two secret guys of series 1!!

I'm so excited to share the secret guys with you and I think we can reach that goal soon!! :3c I'm also thrilled that Raincloud, Cookie, Taffy, Nebula, Ruby, Beau, Critter, Bug, Dash, Matcha, Beans, and Sprinkles will all be available for you to choose once surveys roll around, and that they'll all be able to be made!! :D THANK YOU THANK YOU so much for your support!!

Since we may meet some others soon, I wanted to share a little about raindragons, the species of dragon that Raincloud is!! Raindragons have a special job of hand-crafting raindrops! Because they have such a delicate job, they are all only 4 inches tall :3 They live in storm and rain clouds, and work hard preparing precipitation, but also take plenty of time off for breaks and play!

Each raindragon has the name prefix of rain! Other raindragons will sometimes call them by just the second part of their name, so Raincloud's raindragon friends call her 'Cloud' or 'Cloudy'! Raindragons sometimes have the same name, so they choose nicknames based on synonyms or related words for their second part of their name! There are many Rainbows, so some go by 'Ribbon', others 'Loopy', 'Arrow', 'Arch', so on and so forth! They have a lot of fun with synonyms and wordplay.

Here is a little graphic I made about some of their features!

They often have more simple markings but can have many different colors on them! The most common markings are differently colored peets, horns, eyebrows, ears and inner ears, muzzle, tummy scales, and wings!

I thought it could be fun to make a little coloring page you could use to design your own raindragon, or feel free to draw your own, I'd love to see and hear what you'd name them!! :D


Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know about raindragons! In other updates, I'll go over some of the general rainbeanies characters, lore, and story I've came up with as well :3c
