Less Than 3 Days Left!
Hey folks!
We're nearing the end of the campaign. I'm super thankful to all those who backed the project and especially grateful that we were able to fully fund within the ...
First off, 86% of you have completed your surveys! That means I'm still missing 9 of you. Remember, you cannot receive your rewards if your survey is not completed so please get that filled out asap!
In more exciting news: our first molds for the Mini-Hatchlings have been made! Here are some pics of the process.

Another big thanks to Rob of Pineapple Creations for the guidance and help getting these together. Follow him on Instagram for more pics and to see what the molds look like after they've solidified and been extracted.
We should have the first casts done sometime this week, so stay tuned!
Hope you've all nursed your holiday hangovers and are easing back into reality.

That means I'm only missing 12 of you! As a reminder, surveys are used to confirm orders and collect shipping information. I've made the mistake of assuming they were the "Rate your experience from 1 to 10" kind of survey in the past. They're not. You will not receive your rewards if your survey is not completed, so please complete them ASAP!
Mini-Hatchling Update: After meeting up with Rob of Pineapple Creations, we found a few further tweaks had to be made to my Mini-Hatchlings sculpts to optimize the casting process. The only significant change is The Mimic, which was resculpted in a sitting pose.
Today we've acquired the materials to start making molds! It's a bit too cold in old New York today to start but the hope is to do our first test run soon.
As a heads up, I'll be traveling for work starting January 15th so updates and other correspondence might be a bit slow until after I return on the 24th.
As always, I'll continue posting updates as they come.
Surveys have been sent out! As a reminder, surveys are used to review and confirm your pledges and for collecting shipping info. The sooner you're able to complete your survey, the sooner you can sleep soundly with the knowledge that your order is locked in. If you do not complete your survey, you will not be able to receive your pledge rewards!
Just wanted to touch base on a few items. Tomorrow I'll be traveling out of state for the holidays so there likely won't be any updates until after I return home on December 28th.
You may have noticed that cards have been charged for pledges (around 24 hours after the campaign ended). BackerKit/Stripe is still reviewing and processing those funds. I should note that 6 cards were declined, so double check if you think it could be yours! BackerKit will attempt to charge the declined cards again but if it is unable to process the payments, I'd need to collect the funds through the upcoming surveys.
Surveys will be sent out December 27th. They're used to confirm your orders and collect shipping info, but keep in mind shipping will not be charged until we get closer to fulfillment.
If you do not complete your survey, you cannot receive your rewards so please be sure to review and complete them as soon as possible!
Rob and I will be convening after the holidays (likely early January) to discuss and potentially create the first molds for the Mini-Hatchling resin figurines. This means next month is when you'll likely be able to see our first batch of casts!
Thank you for your patience and Happy Holidays! Looking forward to bringing you new updates in the new year!
