Wrapping up details update!
Heya! Thank you all for such a strong finish!
I am still setting up surveys, but since I’m still waiting for the other samples to be done beforehand I’m not in a rush! My m...
heads up! i will be locking surveys soon! you may have already seen the notification email of the locks! so if you would like to change your survey rewards, do so within the next two days! everything is still in production, so i am locking numbers now! i will NOT be charging cards just yet, so dont worry! i will be charging cards sooner to when the products are in my hands!
for those who have not filled out your survey, whether due to pay over time or missed the survey email- dont worry, your order can not be locked until you confirm the survey! so when pay over time is paid off, you will immediately be sent the survey (after some time to process the payment)! please fill those out asap! your order will lock after you confirm the survey selections!
for those who have failed payments, please make sure to check your pledge! this does not count pay over time, just failed payments! we still have around $500 in failed payments! you will not receive any rewards if you do not fully pay your pledge and fill out the surveys!
** if you also backed elemental wings or paleo pastries, i will be giving free or discounted shipping! only if youd like your orders shipped together (meaning receiving the wyrms later than others) so please comment if you would like your orders bundled together! due to the time difference between the productions, i will set the default as separate shipments- unless otherwise asked!
international backers! if you only wanted items from the gummy wyrm campaign, you will still be able to order the plushies and merch items on etsy! you can also wait until more plushies come to my etsy if youd like to bundle shipping!
heya! its been a bit! but everything is getting done in the background!
production was ordered last week, so they should hopefully be done and shipped out to me in a few more weeks! (estimated from previous production times for my manu!) i did end up having enough of my own money to get the sharks ordered with everyone else, so they wont be delayed like i originally thought! for the stickers and pins etc, i will be ordering those very shortly, i am just finishing up some other art i needed to get done and ordered! they shouldnt take too long either, roughly 4 weeks is the usual time i receive those merch items!
all samples just arrived to me, and i was able to get great photos of all of them! as well as a flop test, so you all can see just how floppy and cuddly they are!
please make sure to check your payments and survey emails! there is still $500 of failed payments as well as 7 unanswered surveys!! please check your email for reminder emails or you can go to your pledges and surveys tab in backerkit to manage your survey or change payment method! dont worry if you are a pay-over-time backer with uncharged payments! just make sure any of your coming payments will go through and not fail!
for the pink shark wyrm, i will be adding a stretch goal on the surveys of the elemental wings campaign, so i will be lowering the stretch goal number for these surveys, as i am sure we can unlock the rest of the stretch goal numbers in that survey! (which means im very sure we will be making the pink shark too, so i will lower the number to unlock it here) for the blankets, i was looking more at the blanket custom order listing and minimum order is actually 1 and not 5 like i originally thought (mis read lol) so i will remove the unlocking cap for the few of you who did want to order those!
also! i have a plushie club discord server up and running! if anyone wants more updates, BTS development or just to talk to me and the community, feel free to join! https://discord.gg/CC7juddtWa
heya! the smoke tests were sent a few days ago as i mentioned in the last post, and almost half of them are done! please check your email or backerkit pledges to see if you received one of the smoke tests! i hope more are able to get done before tomorrow, but i do want to start sending surveys! please let me know if there are any problems with the survey in the comments or by emailing me at [email protected] !
there are still a number of failed payments, not including pay over time, so please double check your pledge and card info! for pay over time, your surveys will be sent as soon as the last payment of your pledge is made! so dont worry if you dont see your survey when i send them all tomorrow! any pledges that arent fully paid or failed payments wont have surveys sent until the pledge is fully paid!
for any of the survey stretch goal plushies (pink shark, 12 inch wyrms) i will be waiting until enough people add them to their pledges to order the samples, just to make sure they will be manufactured so i dont waste anyones time or money on something that doesnt end up made! but since theyre all the same pattern, it wouldnt take that much time to get those samples out when i get to ordering them!
for production, i already ordered one of the colors into production and will be ordering the other three sour wyrms colors for production very soon as well! i am still waiting on around $2.5k of pay over time and failed payments, (as a reminder from the last update!) i will have to wait a bit more to order the shark wyrms until i get more of those funds! for the survey stretch goal plushies, i will have to wait until i start charging cards near the end of the survey process to get the funds to make the orders for them!
the samples that i dont have in my hands yet (3 other sour wyrms and the shark wyrm) were just shipped out to me, so i should get cuter and better photos of all of them in around 8-10 days!
also, for any of you who hasnt seen or been notified, i have another campaign on the way right now! more dragons! https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/bread-bun/elemental-wings-dragon-plushies#top samples for those dragons are still on the way, as i am trying to perfect the first samples before moving ahead with the other samples, and theyre pretty complicated so its been taking a while! but its going insanely well, and we are almost to the end of the stretch goals!
as promised, my manu got these samples done as soon as possible! and here are pics of all of the color ways! the tail of the shark needed one fix so it took a few extra days to wait for that edit even though the rest were finished, i just wanted to make sure all the samples were viewable at the same time! The fabric of the shark is temperamental to the lighting in the room, so some angles or parts of the blue looks darker than it actually is, i promise the blue is correct! XD looks like since the blue isnt part of the printed spots, it is a bit softer than the standard plushies too!
this is the more accurate lighting to show the blue color
i thought it was really funny how they were holding them LOL
as for the surveys, they are completed on my end and are just waiting for approval! so they will be sent tomorrow or the next day! i will make another announcement when everyones surveys get officially sent! i will be waiting around 5 days for the smoke tests to be filled out before sending them to everyone!
i will be ordering bulk of the sour variants now as well, so production and arrival to me will be around 1.5-2 months! i am still waiting for enough funds to get sent to me due to the pay over time backers, i am still waiting for just under $3k to be sent so i cant bulk order the sharks until more is paid out. but dont worry, they wont be too far behind the rest of the wyrms! the rest of the survey unlocked plushies will also need to wait until i charge cards later to get the funding for those sent to me, so the pink wyrm and any mini wyrms that get added to surveys will also be behind in production. that just means some orders will be sent sooner than others depending on what plushies are in them!
A slightly bad news update, but still a progress update!
So unfortunately my manufacturer has had a bit of a problem with their fabric production side of their factory, specifically the shortage of raw materials to keep up with fabric production. So the samples will be taking a little longer to finish than expected (since the spotted fabric is very specifically designed for me). But they are still working as they can on them! Here’s the embroidery progress I was sent!
Looks like I may have to get that fabric on the gummy sharks changed XD oh dear
So I still await the samples getting done to be able to send the surveys out!
I did finish the blanket designs and the pin designs though!
The blankets will be front and back printed, the gummy sharks will have two different designs on each side, while the regular wyrms will have the same design on both sides
