DESIGN CHANGE! An update to the Hatchlings explained (feedback encouraged)!
Hello everyone!
While I was getting photos of all the new samples (promise I'll have those up asap) I noticed an issue that hadn't previously been considered.
Backstory; I ...
Just heard from our manufacturer that the first batch of Hip Hatchlings (cyber and imperial) have finished production and are on the way to us! Will be another 1-2 months for them to make their trip across the big waters and we have a busy month in August with conventions so we're still planning to begin finalizing costs and start shipping in September. =)
Constellation Hip Hatchlings are delayed!
They are being remade and will need to ship separately. It is possible they will come with all of our new NEW ones (dracolich, pride, galaxy, etc). If you ordered a Constellation, your reward shipment will be put on hold until they arrive! If you would like your order split and shipped separately you can email Becca ([email protected]) and cover the shipping to do so. Please provide your backer number, name or use the email attached so we can find you easily.
Awesome new packaging!
I could not be MORE EXCITED to announce this for you all! We're upgrading the packaging for the Dragon Companion, starting with the Hatchlings. They will all come packaged in a nice, printed vinyl bag that has a zipper so you can store your Companions safely!
This is just the first step to upgrading our packaging and more will come next year I hope!
Firstly, survey's were supposed to lock on May 31st but we had some kinks to work out. I think I about have all of those settled so expect to see that lock notification and payment methods to be charged ASAP!
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Production update!
Everything is mostly going smoothly but there has been some speed bumps. The good news first:
Batch of cyber hatchlings
Batch of imperial hatchlings
Look at all of our Hatchlings! At least 2 of the original 3 designs, they look amazing don't they!?
Production for the new Hatchlings will begin soon! We'll be locking down the ability to order them here shortly as our production numbers for these are limited. So if you're waiting - don't much longer!
But that brings me to our trouble child... Constellation. The manufacturer, thankfully, found a serious issue with them before shipping (but sadly after production finished). It seems the holographic leather isn't holding onto the printing. But don't worry: we've already discussed and figured out a solution!
Constellation Hip Hatchlings will be delayed! The printing on them will be screen-printed rather than UV printing. Because the bags have to be completely remade we're going to need more time before we can get orders containing Constellation on the way. When everything starts shipping you can let us know and provided you cover the shipping, we can separate your other items that are ready.
Expecting to push shipping for Constellations out to November/December. As soon as we're able we'll nail down a better time frame for you all!
Thank you everyone!!
As always, any questions, please let us know in the comments! ~ Straya
Thank you for your patience as we navigate how world events are affecting ArtofSO and the Companions. We're trying not to make any big decisions/announcements until we see numbers and how it will impact us. ArtofSO will NOT add any "tariff fees" or whatnot to backer orders, no matter what!
Pledge question surveys will LOCK DOWN on May 31st, 2025!
If there are major issues or delays from ME I will push it back as needed.
OK so the BIG news! Yes, you're seeing that correctly!!
SIX new Hip Hatchlings are being made available FIRST to all of you! We worked with our manufacturer on a deal so we could lower our minimum quantities and bring more Hatchlings to the adoption page (store)...
Dracolich
Galaxy (2.0)
Pride
Pumpkin
Skeleton
Void (CONCEPT)
PLEASE READ: If you previously added Dracolich or Pride to your pledge/preorder you WILL BE CHARGED for them when surveys close on May 31st! If you remove them from your preorder, you will not be able to re-add them at the bigger discount ($90), they will be at full retail ($125), choose wisely!
Dracolich and Pride will be an OPTION added to backer survey questions (choose to switch your question answers OR add them to your pledge separately)
Original campaign prices will be honored for campaign backers
Galaxy, Pumpkin, Skeleton, and Void are ONLY available as add-ons/preorders - this goes for campaign backers and preorders both
We're sorry but Silver didn't make the cut this time (out voted by Void)
The prices of all Hip Hatchlings will be at full retail ($125) on ArtofSO.com but there will be a discount applied for anyone ordering here through BackerKit!
There is a limited amount of inventory with this deal (and our budget)
Expect see things being added over the next day or two!
If I didn't cover your question/concern here, I'm human remember, ask away! You can email for an urgent concern. Don't stress if you don't see a fix/answer right away, issues will be resolved before anything is locked!
Thank you everyone!! I hope you're excited about this news, I know I am!! <3 ~ Straya
So if I want to change out the pay I chose for the pride bag how do I say that on the survey? Because it will charge me for the price of the original bag on top of the pride bag to make it show on my survey. But I only want one.
