Project Update: Production Update and (finally) Surveys
Hey Caretakers,
Thank you for your patience. I seem to have bad luck when it comes to manufacturers because its always just another thing....
Anyways as you know, we were using a new manufacturer for these plushes, and ended up bringing over the owlbear accessories to this manufacturer as well in an effort to save costs (even before tariffs but even more importantly so now).
That was going alright, and I thought things were shaping up to the point where we had submitted payment for production and was working with production staff to keep things moving. Turns out, person I was coordinating with, was no longer with them, and several things that were going on in the process just never made it to the production staff — like confusion on the dragon turtles green just missing other items in the order entirely -_-.
Ideally, I was hoping to have all this product fulfilled and by or before this years GenCon, but it's likely that product will only begin its freight journey in July/August, which is unfortunate for everyone.
Im currently working with the new rep to make sure everything is accounted for and moving so we dont waste away on any more of the schedule.

New Items in Backerkit,
Since we're merging production with the accessories project, everything that we're producing in both projects will be made available to all backers. This includes:
- Owlbear Accessories Kits (fighter, wizard, and fishing)
- All the pins we've produced
- The Purple Owlbear Plush
- Phoenix and Dragon Turtle plush (which arent part of either campaign, but were priced into production because of the keychains), which will also has a magnet and work with the accessories)
Shipping
Shipping costs have been added in addition to relevant VAT.
As promised, Tariffs are not being added.
One thing to note, if you ordered just Pins, and/or just Owlbears (not purple), we'll be able to ship those out asap after order lockdown. (if you're out of the US, availability may might vary as we dont have charcoal/green or all of the pins available internationally yet).
SURVEY LOCK AND CARDS WILL BE CHARGED JULY 12th!
If you have not received a link to your survey, you can get it here

If you have any questions id be happy to answer, and also I apologize for not getting back sooner, but things are moving.
I also did not expect this project to run as long as it currently has, but at least the finish line is in sight (
Thanks for bearing with me,
Andreas
