Where have we been? You may have noticed we've been a bit slow to reply to some emails, it's because we've been moving our business + all inventory across the country along with dealing with some health issues. Chimera Bunny is run by two people, Beedle and Miss Faraday. This past year Faraday developed a chronic degenerative immune system disease, and has not been doing well. Posts and productions have been slowed as a result. However, we're finally getting back on track for the most part. Faraday is now receiving treatment and will be able to work again. Thank you so so much for your patience, but now let's get onto the campaign updates!
Giant millipede plushies have completed production, and are now undergoing quality inspections! All of the plush bags + the chimerabunny plush will be soon to follow. All plush items will most likely be finished ahead of schedule, super exciting!! I'd also like to let you know about a major quality imrpovement to the plush bags! In our last campaign, some batches of bags were more prone to having the straps fall apart. These bags had a single line of stitching, so if one part became unraveled the whole thing would usually go with it. In the NEW batches, we are now using a much stronger stitching pattern! See the image below on the left, this should make these new bags much longer lasting as a result :D For the PU leather beetle backpack, we have delayed production to create a better and longer lasting design as well. With all our products, we quality test them ourselves. After a bit of daily use on this bag, I noticed that the beetle's pincher attachments would bend out of shape and flop down. Nothing was really there to support their structure, and there was also the concern of the straps bending. So, I've come up with a solution! You can see in the diagram below, we'd like the pinchers to be permanently attached to the straps to give them support. Our manufacturer is currently working on the new version, will share pictures when we have it!
