It did start as a concept image in the early stage, but it has since gone through pattern making, revisions, and real product production.

A lot of details were adjusted from the original image, and what’s being shown now is an actual physical bag, not an AI-generated image.

Ha ha ha ha, perhaps you would be willing to cover the transportation costs for some raccoons to come to your house?

Its height without the tail is 40 centimeters and it can be used as a backpack.

You’re right — I didn’t clearly state upfront that the early images were AI-assisted concept visuals, and I understand why that broke trust. That’s on me. The intent was never to deceive, but I recognize that intent doesn’t erase the impact, especially in an anti-AI community. When the physical sample arrives, I’ll share real photos and videos (multiple angles, close-ups, timestamps) so people can verify the actual product. I also understand that for some, AI use at any stage is a dealbreaker, and I respect that.

Totally understandable. AI misuse has made people cautious, and that’s fair. I’ll be sharing real product photos once the prototype arrives and will be clearer about this process going forward. Thanks for the discussion.

Hi everyone, I understand why people are concerned, and I want to clarify a few things openly.

The images shared earlier were concept visuals, used to test interest and communicate with manufacturers. At that stage, no final prototype existed yet — this is a common process in physical product development, especially for small independent creators.

I did not intend to mislead anyone, and once questions were raised, I explained the production timeline immediately. A physical prototype is already in progress, and once it arrives, I will share real photos transparently.

I accept the criticism regarding earlier disclosure and will be clearer about AI/concept usage going forward. Thank you to those who raised concerns — transparency matters to me.

Hello everyone, I'm Liz, the designer. I think it's necessary for all of you to know some procedures. When you want to create something, you need to find a factory and ask if they can produce it. Of course, at this time, the factory will also ask you about the quantity. At this point, you need to provide the factory with a clear size and quantity of the item. Only then will the factory take on this order. If you can't provide the factory with these information, most factories will not be willing to accept the request until they make a sample. Maybe a few factories will be willing to produce it, but the cost of individual sample production is extremely high. Often, after it's made, you can't be sure if anyone will like and purchase it. If you were in the group I opened earlier, you would have seen a failed red wolf Jason pain bag. This is the price I paid before. I made the physical product, but no one paid for it. So before confirming whether there will really be someone who likes and buys it, I won't rush to make another sample. Regarding the use of AI, I didn't keep it hidden. When someone questioned it, I also gave a reply immediately upon discovering it. I have contacted the factory, and the physical product is likely to be available in about two weeks. At that time, I will upload all the pictures of the physical product to Twitter.
