Four years of making colorful monsters!
Has it been four years already?! We've come such a long way since we sculpted our first dong design, and its all been possible thanks to you! <3
This year has been particularly tough for the team, but there has still been plenty to celebrate! We wanted to take a moment to highlight some milestones and peek into what we have planned for the near future.
๐Looking to start the party now? We also have a handy gift guide so you don't miss out on any of our 4th Anniversary goodies!
The text on the graphic with more context:
๐ฒ We've passed over 3,500 online orders! I wonder if we can hit 4k by the end of 2024?๐
๐บ Since we began, we've been able to donate over $2,000 to various charities through our April Fool's models, Second Chance Squish, and special sales periods.
๐ฏIn 2023, Fuzz & Peach moved up from Florida to merge with Tailends in Connecticut! We've been able to accomplish so much and weather many hardships together so we can keep making wonderful things!
๐ฆSince we began, we've sculpted 25 models - including April Fool's toys! Of these, only 2 were 3D printed.
๐ชถCFT has been to 14 conventions so far, with more coming up! It has been so cool to meet folks!

What's Next for CFT?
This year, we got a 3D printer! Fuzz has been learning digital sculpting and printing with some really cool successful first prints!
It has been slow progress though - you may have seen on our social media that the sudden standstill on new things was that we needed to get our own fabric printing setup quite unexpectedly, and this was no small undertaking!
If you haven't heard of our sister business Tailends, we make handmade apparel using dye sublimation printing. (This means we can print in a huge color range, have variety of high quality fabrics to choose from, and the print is permanently bonded and won't bleed or fade!) Printing and sewing in the US is massively important to us so we can offer a large variety of patterns, sizes, and customization in the best quality possible, and make sure we have a low carbon footprint and pay fairly for labor. For both our apparel and our toys, it's important to our team that we create responsibly!
Without Tailends, there would be no Creature Feature Toys due to the high costs of operating and doors that get closed on us for being an adult business, so we're incredibly grateful that we've been able to handmake so many cool products for several years already!
We're all feeling the weight of the current state of the economy, and this not an easy job! Despite being spread thin by the end of each day, though, we love what we do and we want to keep growing! We're only here due to the support and passion of our community, and we couldn't thank you more for being a part of it! <3
So lets give four cheers for CFT!!!! Feel free to share your wishes for what you'd like to see in the future from us!
Much love,
- the Creature Feature Toys team
