Hey all,
Just a brief update,
Still working on things with the manufacturer, but good progress so far.
I've gotten copies of all the accessories, and they look good.
   Not perfect, but ive provided that feedback so they can make changes.
Overall, my main concerns now (for the accessories) are the magnets and the fabric softness (which dosent quite match first versions which i had which were softer).

For example you can kinda see it here with the fishing rods where the texture of the their version(top), is not as 'fuzzy'  as the base one  (bottom)

There was also some weirdness going on with the fish, where there was some bad stiching (left) on the gullet of the fish, versus the base (right)

And the bit about the magnet is that, we found that during GenCon the fishhook could barely supporrt holding up an owlbear...and now that we've achieved that, we expect that to be the norm. As I tested their version, it was not even able to lift it up, so that made it easy to call out that stronger magnets needed to be used all around. 

They tell me that they're finally finalizing the color so i should be seeing that too. 
Also, ive started talking with another manufacturer about making owlbear colors, so if i need more or different, I'll have to work with (esp if this current manufacturer drags their feet). 

More updates to come! Sorry to keep you all waiting, 
Andreas

also, i know some of the double backers need me to look into the accounting, should be able to clear those out by weekend
