•    Gags ‘n Gears: Operation Plush Rush
  Attention, Toons of the World! This is Lord Lowden Clear, leader of the Toon Resistance here. I’ve found myself in quite the conundrum, and I'm in need of some assistance. That's why I'm officially iniatiating Operation: Plush Rush! This is no ordinary fluff piece for the Toontown Blog. It's absurd - I've been turned into what Loony Labs is calling a P.L.U.S.H. (Portable Laugh Unit for Snuggles and Hugs)! I’d heard reports that the Silly Meter was going haywire, but it wasn't until I arrived at Toon Hall for a Toon Council meeting that I realized how out of control things were. The next thing I knew, I was a plushie – terrible timing, really. I was scheduled to meet with Rocky to scout out for a future Operation in Bossbot HQ. When he arrived, he had to contain his laughter. It almost broke our cover! Luckily, this was the perfect time to go undercover – and not like the plush bear in Dreamland. Since no Cogs would dare touch a toy, I could sneak around Bossbot HQ and they wouldn’t give me a second glance! There I was, sitting outside the Executive Offices, waiting for the right moment to finally break in. That’s when I was spotted… by a Flunky. If your Flunk Trunk has gone missing recently, I know where it is. This Flunky picked me up and took me to his office, where his walls were lined with Flunk Trunks and the odd Caller Hauler! It’s clear he’s a plush collector of some sort. I've never seen a Flunky smile, but this particular Flunky nearly cracked one upon putting me into his collection. He better be careful, or he'll never work his way up the corporate ladder! Unfortunately, I get the feeling I’ll be stuck here until some Toons track down this Cog Building. In the meantime, the Toon Troopers have partnered with Makeship to bring copies of my P.L.U.S.H. form to the masses. From now until May 13th, you can purchase limited edition plushies of Lord Lowden Clear and Doctor Surlee as part of Gags n’ Gears for Good. Plushie Stretch Goals I’m sure Doctor Surlee has already spoken to you about his trading card, but I’ve got something that I think is better. I’ve heard a rumor that an exclusive Lord Lowden Clear trading card will be available through Toontown Member Mailers if 1,000 Lord Lowden Clear plushies are sold! Maybe I’m a little biased, but I know what my heart is set on. If that’s not enough to entice you, let me sweeten the deal. For your generosity, I’ll let you call in a favor from me when you’re in danger. If 750 Lord Lowden Clear plushies are sold, each purchase of a Lord Lowden Clear plushie will come with a code for TWO rare Lord Lowden Clear SOS cards! Why else would I be carrying a pink slip? This is the first time I’ve offered these cards since Operation: Crash Cashbot! I know this is all very exciting, but let’s take our eyes off the plush prize for a second. The Cogs are still invading the streets of Toontown — who knows what the Chairman is planning next? Until I’m out of this plush form (and away from this Flunky’s grasp!), I need you all to be on the lookout for anything suspicious! Until next time, keep them busting -- with laughter! Lord Lowden Clear Leader of the Toon Resistance Want to Help Even More? If you’d like to help out even further, you can also donate a plush to Child’s Play directly. Every plushie they receive will be distributed to a child at one of their partnered children's hospitals. To do this, just start a separate Makeship order and set the shipping address to:  Child's Play Charity9660 153rd Ave NERedmond, WA 98052 You can view more details here about how this campaign works or place your order with the big yellow button below!

•    Gags 'n Gears: A Perplexing Plush Predicament
  I take my eye off that duck for one minute…  Hello, Toons. Doctor Surlee here to report possibly one of the most preposterous Loony Labs predicaments to date! It appears that Lord Lowden Clear and I have been turned into what I am officially calling a Portable Laugh Unit for Snuggles and Hugs, or P.L.U.S.H. for short. Our experiment on using silliness to soften up the Cogs was looking promising, but I asked Dimm to push it even further. While I was preoccupied with making Non-Newtoonian fluid, Doctor Dimm shouted “EUREKA!” and scampered off. Before I could catch up, the Silly Meter started bouncing and surging… Then BAM! Both Lord Lowden Clear (who was just trying to get to a Toon Council meeting – poor guy!) and I were caught in a blast that turned us into objectively cute and huggable plush toys! Although it wasn’t intentional, you can make the best out of even the kookiest of conundrums. The nearby Toon Troopers took the opportunity to mass-produce Doctor Surlee and Lord Lowden Clear P.L.U.S.H. forms to spread joy around Toontown and beyond as part of Gags ‘n Gears for Good! To maximize boosting happiness for any Toons that need it, all proceeds will be donated to the Child’s Play charity, an organization dedicated to bringing comfort and entertainment to children in hospitals. A happy Toon is a healthy Toon, and Child’s Play is dedicated to the healing power of play! Act now, because this collaboration only lasts for a limited time and ends on May 13th! Plushie Stretch Goals I'm hoping to raise as much funds as possible for Child's Play Charity through this predicament, so I am including some stretch goals to give Toons even MORE based on the number of plushies sold! 500 Plushies Goal A Backstage Blog Post featuring a behind-the-scenes look at creating my P.L.U.S.H. form will be made.  750 Plushies GoalEach plush will come with an Doctor Surlee Cutout furniture code for your Toon Estate! These rare items were my go-to body doubles to get out of Toon Council meetings before Doctor Fissionton gave them away many years ago. If you missed one then, now’s your chance! 1000 Plushies GoalA brand new Doctor Surlee Trading Card will be available for FREE via Toontown Member Mailers! I hear Lord Lowden Clear may be planning on adding some stretch goals of his own… Stay TOONed! To help us reach these stretch goals, be sure to share this campaign with your friends and family! Want to Help Even More? If you’d like to help out even further, you can also donate a plush to Child’s Play directly. Every plushie they receive will be distributed to a child at one of their partnered children's hospitals. To do this, just start a separate Makeship order and set the shipping address to:  Child's Play Charity9660 153rd Ave NERedmond, WA 98052 That’s all I have to report for now. I’ve got to get back to finding a way to undo this! It turns out that being what I've heard Toons describe as "adorable" comes with a price... I’ve already broken three beakers with these clumsy little stuffed gloves. You can view more details here about how this campaign works or place your order with the big yellow button below!

•    ToonTasks Get a Toon-Up
  Woah… it’s so shiny! I wonder if they used a special gloss varnish on the parchment. I’ll have to ask Sticky Lou. Oh, hi there! I got lost for a moment admiring one of the newly touched-up ToonTasks that arrived at HQ this morning. This beauty has been created by the Toon-Ups to our ToonTask system that our pal Tester Tim helped us playtest last year in TestTown! After putting on the final polish, the Toon Council approved this system to be rolled out to all of Toontown TODAY! Over at Toon HQ, our ToonTask system has been cleaned up (aided by some floor mops from Rusty Bucket’s Cleaning Supplies!) to allow us to assign more fun and interesting ToonTasks! HQ Officers are enthusiastically discussing possibilities of new ToonTask objectives including collecting Playground Treasures, catching Old Boots, delivering flowers, earning Gag experience, rescuing Toons and much more. Rumor has it that one Officer even mistakenly assigned “Help a new Toon with 15 Laff or less defeat a 3 Star Field Office”, and some brave Toons actually went and did it! Here are the exciting ToonTask Toon-Ups entering Toontown today! “Just For Fun!” ToonTasks have doubled the fun with new objectives! You'll start seeing new objectives like defeating Cog Building Floors and catching fish. (Don't worry, Flippy warned us not to ask you to catch 100 Grizzly Bear Acudas...) We’ve added a progress bar to "Deliver" ToonTasks, making it easy to remember how many items you’ve handed to shopkeepers! You can also now partially deliver items to shopkeepers, which’ll lighten the load of your Gag Pouches and make room for extra goodies. Gaze upon the new vibrant and visually-improved Shticker Book icons and sharpened ToonTask scrolls! My tatty first-edition Shticker Book is looking as good as new with this update. (It does have several pages stuck in with Sticky Lou’s Blue Glue... No matter how many times I complete that task, I still don't know how to get it unstuck!) As promised in TestTown, Clarabelle is now selling the fine-Tooned, fashionable metallic Anti-Cog Control Hat! Protect your ToonTasks from the influence of Cog mind control. (Loony Labs assures us that doesn't exist, but you can never be too safe...) Ooh, looks like a new Toon is on their way from Tutorial Tom’s. I’d best be off! I hope you’re thrilled as I am by these Tooned-up ToonTasks. Let us know in the comments: What types of new ToonTask objectives do YOU want us to assign?


•    Gags 'n Gears: Grab Your Plushies TODAY!
  Hiya, Toons! For those of you who attended ToonFest Columbus last year (or swung by for the recap!), you may remember our Makeship Campaign announcement. A Makeship Campaign is a community-funded source for fan merchandise, and in our case, it will be used to produce two unique Toontown Rewritten plushies! This collaboration is part of our Gags ‘n Gears for Good project, which we’ve reworked thanks to feedback from Toons like YOU! Without further ado, we’ve got some big updates and more information for you: We are pleased to announce that starting TODAY, you can bring home one (or two, or many!) of our two Toontown plushies through Makeship. We announced the identity of one of the two plushies, Doctor Surlee, at ToonFest Columbus, with the other being a mystery character. Now that his gloves aren’t so full over at the Toon Resistance, we can confirm that the mystery character is none other than Toontown’s top Cog-busting dog, Lord Lowden Clear! Just like Doctor Surlee with his trusty pocket watch and lab coat, the plushie version of Lord Lowden Clear will come prepared for anything with his very own crafty (and extra cozy!) Cog Disguise. The real deal wouldn’t be caught without one, after all! If you’d like to contribute to the campaign and bring one or both of these plushie Toons home, you can view more details and place your order with the big yellow buttons below! Doctor SurleeLord Lowden Clear   Since this is part of our Gags ‘n Gears for Good project, all profits will be going to Child's Play Charity, an organization that helps send video game systems to children's hospitals with accessible gear. Support a good cause and take home a plushie of one of Toontown’s brightest Scientoons and most courageous Resistance Rangers! How Does it Work? Starting today, we have 21 days (until May 12th) to reach the funding goal for both the Doctor Surlee and Lord Lowden Clear plushies. After that goal is reached, production for our precious plushies will begin – since the plushies will be made in batches of how many are ordered, this may take some time! Expect about 2-4 months for production to take place, and 1-2 business days after this process is complete, the oodles of snuggly Surlees and lovely Lord Lowden Clears will be shipped out to their new homes! Shipping is international and will take an average of 7-15 business days, depending on your location. In addition to grabbing plushies for yourself, you can pass on the Toontown fun by donating plushies to Child's Play Charity! Every plushie they receive will be distributed to a child at one of their partnered children's hospitals. To do this, just start a separate Makeship order and set the shipping address to: Child's Play Charity9660 153rd Ave NERedmond, WA 98052 Have questions? Check out Makeship’s FAQ page or email support@toontownrewritten.com for more information! Disclaimer As part of Gags ‘n Gears for Good, all profits from this campaign will be donated to Child's Play Charity. Toontown Rewritten will not receive any profit from our work with Makeship or from any future Gags ‘n Gears for Good releases. Since this is a crowdfunded collaboration through Makeship, plushies can only be produced if the minimum funding goal is reached. If the funding goal is NOT reached within the 21 day period, all orders will be refunded.
