Are they the same ones who did the Jhudora and Illusen Plushies? These look much better.

The drop in sales volume across these Makeship campaigns is wild to look at:

Lord Kass: ~1,111 sold
Illusen & Jhudora: ~796 / ~777 sold
Kanrik & Hannah: ~270 / ~250 sold (subject to change, 24 hours remain on the campaign)

I've grabbed all of them, but it really highlights an interesting dynamic with the Neopian economy. Buying these for $30 to get a physical plush plus a wearable code worth ~50m NP is basically the Neopets equivalent of buying an OSRS Bond... just with extra physical steps and a doll included.

I made the mistake of selling my Lord Kass foreground for 80m right away instead of holding onto it, but I've kept the others. With Kanrik and Hannah barely clearing 250 units, these foreground codes are going to be ridiculously scarce in-game down the road.

The temptation is strong tbh
I do like Hannah and Kanrik, but I'm also EXTREMELY picky about how plushies look and these are a little weird for me
I did buy Kass and I'm happy with him, and I do know Makeship makes good quality items, but idk...something about these two....

Hannah has an Evil Villain Smirk--I think the exaggerated M of the bangs accentuates the eye signal. Kanrik is supposed to have a Clever Thief Smirk, so that works. Perhaps the flat-tipped cylindrical snout throws the look off at that camera angle? Kanrik's Wearables are very well done.

i have a feeling their next makeship campaign (assuming they do one) will be a single character. these two were very slow and hannah in particular only got funded after the first extension (delay?) - she was dangerously close to not getting made

maybe next they'll do fyora?

I want to like them so badly, they just look too strange to me.
Skipped Jhudora and Illusen for the same reason, I have Kass since I thought he looked okay, but I'm still really bothered by how they designed his beak. (Like why did they embroider his mouth on top of the beak instead of keeping it along the seam line where it fits a lot better) Anyway, ignore me I'm rambling lol!

I wish they gave a size for them as I would not want to buy something 2 inches big when thinking it might be 12 inches

I bought Kass, Illusen, and Jhudora, and I'm pretty happy with all of them (Kass clearly turned out the best). I like owning the characters, but between the meh appearance of these, costs, and the fact I didn't grow up on Hannah and Kanrik, it's a pass for me.

If they do more faeries, or like, Brynn and Hanso, I'll be back on board.

281 is not a lot. I thought Hannah would be more popular

I'm surprised that Hannah and Kanrik didn't get more sales! I thought they were quite popular. That means I probably won't ever see my favorite characters then I was really hoping for the three Tale of Woe protags!

I can only speak for myself, but while I love Hannah and Kanrik, the plushies are just ugly imo. I wasn't about to shell out money for either of those.

These plushies are definitely better looking than Illusen and Jhudora ones

well that is quite a drop from prior releases sheesh I was expecting more sales than that.
