As we’re approaching the end of March, I wanted to fill you in on what’s been happening.
Looks like my original projection of fulfillment taking place in March was wrong. But not by much!
First off, layout is done and the first (and hopefully last) test print has been ordered! Assuming there are no issues after reviewing it, the full order for the zines should be placed shortly after.
2-Page Spread. "The Strange Beast" has been renamed "The Titan".
The Mini-Hatchling Figurines are taking a bit longer than projected. Because they’re being cast in a garage with limited temperature control, it’s been too chilly in olde New York to get things cranking. Luckily, the weather has been warming up so we’re preparing to do our final casts in the coming weeks. While we’ve been waiting, Rob has been gracious enough to polish the master sculpts to ensure we aren’t getting the irregularities that plagued a few of the test batches.
Touched-Up Master Sculpts
By the time those are painted up, the full order of the books should be in and shipping can commence! So we’re now looking at getting things sent out by the end of April, which in hindsight seems a much more appropriate month for an egg-themed zine.
You’ll likely be receiving notifications from BackerKit announcing that orders and shipping addresses have been locked (you’ll still be able to change your shipping address afterwards if you need to). On Friday, March 28 cards will be charged for any add-ons you may have purchased on your surveys.
We’re almost there! Thank you so much for your patience and have a happy spring.
