Varmintfeathers' Extinct Mammals Plushies

Created by Varmintfeathers Plush Company

Our goal is to make realistic plushies that are soft, semi-realistic, and posable! Each plushie features coloring based off modern day animals that live where that animal has been found and a neck tag with facts about them! The Pre-Order store is now open for anyone who missed the initial campaign! Can we unlock the huge 40" Inostracevia plushie??

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Quagga almost done!
3 days ago – Tue, Sep 29, 2026 at 11:11:22 AM

Small update! I thought Quagga was finally worth posting an update for since it actually looks like a horse now! We're gonna change the muzzle to brown instead of gray and make sure the tail is a nice soft long fur and not ratty, and that's it!! So glad to finally be moving on to others lol

And as always, updates go out first in the discord AND I've revamped my roles so you can get pinged ONLY for manufacturing updates :D linkie here


THYLACINES ON THE WAY!!
10 days ago – Mon, Sep 21, 2026 at 05:44:17 PM




Thylacines will be shipping out to me next week and will arrive in 3-4 weeks!! Any orders where the only plush item is Thylacine will be fulfilled asap. I am currently working out how I can ship thylacines out to folks who want theirs now even if they have other plush in their order!

SMILODON AND AMPHY FINALIZED + other updates and the 40"
about 1 month ago – Thu, Aug 20, 2026 at 01:28:37 PM

HELLO GUYS!! FINALLY smilo and amphy are done so now we can get through the last few other samples!! As of right now we're at 43/50 orders for the big inostrancevia and I think we're gonna get it made!! Once I pay for the new samples I'll ask them to get the first version of Inostrancevia out first so y'all can get a feel for it, then we'll do dire wolf, eohippus, and megaloceros! JinJeen has assured me they can be copied as they are now with their current features like megaloceros' wired horns and duclaws, and everyone's nose pockets!!

For now, here's ALL the samples in their current updated state! Some previously finalized ones have had new pictures added so I'd look through all of them :)


16" Eohippus - Finalized! -> Being copied by a different manufacturer due to shady business practices by the original manufacturer. I expect it won't change by much, maybe the colors will be more accurate to the OG drawing!



5.5 Lungfish Tiktaalik Plush Keychain -  Finalized!



16" Dodo -  Finalized!



16" Megaloceros -  Finalized! -> Being copied by a different manufacturer due to shady business practices by the original manufacturer. I expect it won't change by much!



28" Smilidon Fatalis - FINALIZED is floppier, and will be even floppier when mass produced



16" Dimetrodon -  Third pass! We're gonna revert back to the last one and change just a couple things and then he should be good!



16" Dire Wolf -  Finalized! -> Being copied by a different manufacturer due to shady business practices by the original manufacturer. I expect it won't change by much!



5.5 Common Water Strider Opabinia Plush Keychain -  Finalized!



16" Quagga -  Second pass! Gonna get the shape changes and new printing!





28" Dunkleosteus -  Finalized! I'm silly I forgot Dunk was supposed to have black on him and we're gonna change the shield part of his head (circled in red) to 5mm fur so it stands out more!



16" Thylacoleo -  Finalized!



16" Doedicurus -  Finalized, waiting on better pics (pictured here is the last version, it has changed since then)



28" Thylacine -  Finalized and floppy now!!



28" Amphicyon -  FINALIZED!! is floppier, and will be even floppier when mass produced




40" Inostranceiva -  sample not started.. yet



SURVEYS ARE HERE!! + 40" Inostracevia
2 months ago – Fri, Jul 31, 2026 at 08:51:50 PM

Hello everyone!! I should have more sample updates to show you here soon but first; our big Inostracevia!!


The pink areas will be mochi minky, and the body will be 10mm fur while the face is 5mm!! I am SO excited to get the sample for this guy rolling! I should get to approve four more samples this week, and then we'll be focusing on Inostracevia, Eohippus, Dire Wolf, Megaloceros, and Quagga! I expect the copied samples won't take as long since they have a pretty solid reference to go off of.

And now, SURVEYS!! I got them thrown together fast so we can try to unlock Inostracevia! He is currently priced at $140 given the per-unit cost and shipping will be much more expensive. You will be able to select him as an add-on in your survey, and if we can get 50 sold we can get him made!!

I will send out a small batch of surveys first to make sure there's no issues with them, and then they will all go out shortly after! I'd expect everyone to have them by Saturday or Sunday, and you'll get an email when you can fill yours out :)

MORE SAMPLE UPDATES!! + 40" PLUSH POLL
2 months ago – Thu, Jul 23, 2026 at 04:10:50 PM

DISCORD LINK: discord.gg/invite/Zus5x2fcZY -> all updates as well as changes to plush are uploaded here first!

Here are the sample updates I received this week! Once the all the current samples are finalized I'll pay for their manufacturing and then we'll start on the new Eohippus, Dire wolf, and Megaloceros! They're going to copy them from the pictures so I think it won't take as long to get them done. Thylacine is also on his way to me and being delivered tomorrow!!

28" Smilidon Fatalis -  Third pass! I think the next one will be the one!


16" Dimetrodon -  Third pass! We're gonna revert back to the last one and change just a couple things and then he should be good!


16" Thylacoleo -  Second pass + changes!



28" Amphicyon -  Third pass! Just a few more and he'll be perfect!



And finally, the 40" PLUSH VOTE!! I'm really excited to try to make this happen through the pre order store!! My money is on Inostracevia I would literallly die for a 40" gorgonopsid!! Also, for those who missed the campaign or want to help us get that 40" plush, the pre-order store will be going up ASAP! Maybe next week or the week after? I might try to push surveys too so people can add the 40" onto their survey as opposed to creating a separate order :D
