I had switched the pledge level in the survey to the 100$ Adventuring Party, yet the pledge level changed to 1$ after the survey was locked, so it states I have 118$ (!) credit remaining... I also pledged the pintopia campaign and selected that these could be shipped together, maybe that way the reason it got mixed up. I'd like to get the pledge I paid and got email confirmation for, thank you. If you need my selection again, it was "Charcoal - Fighter" and "Mossy - Wizard". I also still didn't get all the books I paid for from the original Owlbear plush campaign, I'm missing the print of "An Alphabetical Guide to Dungeon Monsters", you can send it together with the rest. Thank you.
Project Update: Schedule Updates
Apologies for the delay in an update. But for the last two months, we confirmed error phoenix hats, owlbear colors and quantities, new owlbear keychain colors, and made comments to the second pass of accessories. Also we confirmed shipping quantities to our warehouses (US, UK, and AUS).
Main thing about accessories
- fishing hook can support an owlbear (carefully)
- axe was missing thickness and magnet
- bags looked great and was missing the beak on the gold foil
- magnet placement on axe and staff needed to be adjusted
that aside everyhting else was great
Schedule-wise, we're at the following.
Shipping (from manufacturer) before CNY (only to US warehouse)
- Owlbear Keychains
- Drgon Turtle Keychains
- Error Phoenix Keychains (with little hats)
- Brown Owlbears
- Dragon Turtle Plushes
- Phoenix Plushes
Shipping (from manufacturer) After CNY (all warehouses)
- Fighter Accessories
- Wizard Accessories
- Fishing Accessories
- Updated (non-beardy) Phoenix Keychains
- Purple Owlbear keychain
- Snowy Owlbear Keychain
- More Brown Owlbears
- Snowy Owlbear
- Charcoal Owlbear
- Mossy Owlbear
- Purple Owlbear
More updates as they come,

PS, i notice a few people asking about getting rewards (for those who just got pins or a single owlbear thats in stock), in the next few days ill run a couple filters and see which ones we can get fulfilled (usually its messy to spit things up, esp when export actions, but ill do what i can)
Engaged with this project 20+ times 🌟
So brown and snowy are "regular" colors. Rose was 2023 (the first one I ever bought, not even knowing it was limited!). Mossy and charcoal were 2024. Will the purple count as 2025 despite not being retailed? Is it just going to skip to 2026? Also I know there's been a whole host of delays with the manufacturing issues. It seems those are being ironed out now, so how are we feeling about other colors in the future? Personally, I'd love to see a black or deep red! Regardless, I am so excited to hopefully have my new purple and charcoal babies in hand this year. And dressing them up will be so much fun! I already use one of mine during my campaign lol

Hello! Is it too late to ask for a refund? I have been waiting long enough with no fulfillment in sight and now I see I could have just bought them from eu.metalweavegames.com this whole time. I am really unhappy with the campaign, though I understand a lot of things were not your fault. Still, I would very much like a refund and just to finally order an Owlbear from this site since I have been waiting for so long now.
Project Update: A whole new purple! + Schedule Updates
pantone for reference
Now as you know, this wasnt our first purple owlbear, we had our prototype owlbear from our first manufacturer (below on the left), and as you can see that one is a little bit darker still.
And just because (with the fuchsi, below)
(Left to right) Old manufacture sample, new sample, wtf is this purple sample
I think this new purple is far better,
now as you can see there is some shaping of the owlbears that needs to be corrected (esp looking at the cheast and heads), but
overall, I think this color is good. but what do you think? (Darker? Good? if we go darker then ill have to pick a new pantone (and additional sample cost).
Schedule

Accessories
In regards to the accessories update (they've confirmed they're going to finish their new sample on dec 22nd (so prolly arriving next after)
Tarrifs
one unxpected benefit from this taking so long is that at least the tarrifs are not 100-300% anymore. they're still elevated (i think in the 20-30% range, but faaar better than that madness we had earlier).
Hope you have a great christmas holiday and more updates to come when i have them.
