Latest Update... (29/10/2025)
I can officially say all orders have been sent out aside from 2 that were requested to be delayed! Yippee!! \o/
Man this plush has been a huge journey from start to end. I learned a whole lot from this process.
I really appreciate everyone's patience with me while I organised this all. It was quite difficult, but everyone's excitement and happiness from their Torabi(s) arriving made it all worth it. :')
Will I do this again? Honestly no.
I think if I ever do plushies again I will have a separate entity handle it, as I'm just not equipped enough to handle everything without monetary loss.
But I do admit I'm quite motivated to make future merch because of how much everyone liked them. :')
For now I will be taking a small break to focus on commission work, and then I will list the remaining merch stock back on the store for people who missed out!
Thank you everyone for sticking with me over the course of the production of this plushie!
I appreciate everyone a whole lot.<3
Please make sure to drink tea and look after yourselves! Thank you!

Past Updates:
(01/10/2025)
90% of all orders have officially been shipped! \o/ Wahoo!!!!
16 orders remain unsent as of this moment as they either had special requests, or I had an issue in regards the lanyard charms for those orders.
Unfortunately it seems I either miscount the stock of charms I had, or I have misplaced them. I've placed a new order of charms last week, so hopefully this can be rectified ASAP.
Over the next few days I will reach out to the customers who will experience a delay due to this issue.
For now, please check your inboxes for your tracking codes.
Customers who selected the Yodel shipping method will get their codes tomorrow!
Thank you for your patience everyone!! Hopefully all of the packages will reach you safely. :)

I FINALLY HAVE A GOOD UPDATE WAHOOO!!
Hello, I hope you’re all having a wonderful day! I’m happy to say that the Torabi plushies have finally arrived! :D
All that’s left, is to wait for the boxes and complimentary teabags to arrive and then I will be starting the packing process soon~
Also I have some important updates so please make sure to read the following:
As some of you are aware, there were some issues with the production of the extras.
When they arrived, all the keychains were extremely large, and the colour of the stickers were very red tinted.
Luckily, I managed to rectify the keychains by ordering new ones, but now I am stuck with a large stock of these massive keychains. So, I’ll be putting these up for sale!
Size difference example
If you're interested, please let me know and I can either switch your small Torabi / Torako keychain for the massive one, OR for £8 each, you can add them to your existing order.
As for the stickers, although the manufacturer re-printed them for me, but they still ended up darker than I would have liked.
Image edited slightly for colour accuracy
Unfortunately, due to the lack of time and funds, I cannot afford to find a new manufacturer. So instead, I will be providing double the stickers in every order. I hope this compensation is okay, and I sincerely apologise for this issue.
But, if you would like a refund for the sticker sheet instead, I will be happy to provide, so just let me know!
All of the merch in physical form!
Now for shipping related notes:
As the packing will start soon, please make sure that your delivery address is correct.
Once I have posted the package everything will be out of my hands! So please update me if it has changed.
Extra note for US buyers: The De Minimis rule has officially been revoked a few weeks ago.
This means that even if the order is under the value of $800 it will be subject to tariffs and can no longer enter the country duty-free. This means it will likely be held at customs for a while for inspection and you may get charged an import fee.
If this is a major issue, please let me know so we can perhaps discuss a way to solve this.
Please reply to the email I have sent out before the 14th of September if you want to do any of the following:
- You want to add or change the extras ordered
- Your delivery address has changed
- You want me to sign your postcard / Have a request for the complimentary tea bag.
Sorry for the bumpy process, but I hope that you will nevertheless adore the little flame that will arrive at your doorstep soon. Thank you for the support!

Hi guys, I got a new update regarding the plushies!
The good news is that the plushies have finished production! :D
Photo from the manufacturer
They should be on their way to me relatively soon, so that’s very exciting!
-
The bad news is that I am still in the middle of sorting out the issue with the stickers.
I have no idea when this will be fixed and shipped to me, and I need to wait to see if the colours are fixed before I place an order to fix the charms as well, since due to me mixing up the size, they wont replace the charms.
Currently due to all of these factors, I estimate a 1 month delay from the original projected shipping time.
Meaning the packages are likely to be sent at the end of September, rather than august.
I sincerely apologise for the delay!!!
Also no worries if addresses change in the meanwhile, I will be sending out an email once all the merch arrives to double check addresses before they are sent!
Thank you for reading, if you have any questions regarding this please feel free to send me an email! Have a nice day!

Hello folks, small update about the current situation!
The plushies are still in production, however I have received the keychains and stickers, and unfortunately the manufacturer messed up with the colour.
I am currently in the middle of discussions with them to get these replaced as the torabi stickers are really red and not what I wanted. This is likely to cause delays, but we will have to see what happens.
As for the charms, I also made a mistake on my end and ordered them as 3.5 inches instead of cm.... So I will have to re-order those charms too.
Many apologies guys! I will do my best to keep the current status of things updated here. If we get to august and things are still looking grim, I will be sure to send out an update where I can. Thank you for your patience!

Thank you guys so much for your support and gAAAHHH I feel like I've already been extremely sappy with my prior announcements so I'll try to keep it short
But we officially ended with 134 torabis pre-ordered and given away!
An absolutely crazy amount that went way beyond what I expected, and it's honestly a dream come true to have a design of mine become a plushie, thank you everyone so much for helping make this happen! :D
What happens now?
Everyone should have been charged for the rest of the plushie's cost!
I will be placing the order for everything to be made on june 26th, so if you want to adjust your pre-order's content you have a little buffer room to message me about it.
Everything should take about 2~2.5 months to be produced, shipped to me, packed, and then sent off.
I'm currently aiming for everyone's packages to be shipped at the end of August/early september!
I will be posting updates here, as well as email updates with every milestone met. I hope to keep everyone who ordered as informed as possible!
As I mentioned on stream, if you want me to sign your certificate, feel free to email me about it since I will not be signing certificates unless asked since theres a lot of orders sdkghdf
I will also be placing a random tea bag that may be an english breakfast, earl grey, or rooiboos (non caffeine) in everyone's order as a bonus for reaching the goal!
If you have a preference for what you want, feel free to let me know too and I will make a note of it!
It's gonna be quite busy for me now to get everything sorted, so please bare with me!
I will do my best to make these plushie orders as special as possible! Thank you so much everyone, have an absolutely amazing weekend!
