We have had quite a wild ride! Thank you all for your continued patience as we work round the clock to prep orders, and also go to back to back shows.
Pintopia 2025 is almost completely done and shipped out!
We are still waiting on companions to complete and the companion carrying bags from our main factory. Also my husband is handmaking the laptop bags so those will be done very soon! But everything else that can be shipped out has gone out this morning! Tons of giant dragon bundles!
I’ll make an update on our main campaign about the original Kickstarter updates. We are still waiting on some items to come through, from our various places, but we are well on our way! We should have the first four companions this month and shipped out as fast as we can!
Now on to even MORE fun news!
To keep our second factory engaged with our business so they don’t wind up getting booked up with other clients, (It’s happened to us in the past) We decided to accept the invite again for Pintopia 2026! We are not doing series 2 of dragons until series 1 is all wrapped up, but we hope to launch that labor day weekend 2026 if all goes to plan.
Pintopia’s theme is NESSIES! Due to the response and success of our Stress-ball Unicones, we are doing Stress-ball Nessies!
Or “Lock-stress Monsters”! We will be launching in January!
Here are some wonderful fan pics who sent us pics of our unicone stress-balls hanging out with their pets!
If you follow our teaser page “Pre-launch” you will also receive a Free Dreamy Ness Exclusive Sticker when you pledge on any tier! So make sure you Click the link below and follow our campaign!
We are in the home stretch for our pintopia orders! Almost all dragon orders will be going out in the next week or so aside from any of the Star Dreamer Companion orders which are hopefully going to get to us by November we are told. We are urging and pushing our factory as much as we can.
But other than Star Dreamer, all our other items are here and will soon be on the way to you!
Now on that note some things that need to be said again: We have been shipping between shows and have just about forty orders left of Pintopia. We also had some health issues with my husband who got heat stroke from overworking and we lost some time. Please remember there are only two of us. We also have other work to earn income, as we made zero profit from this or other campaign taking on the tariff costs and not passing them on to you guys, so shows are necessary to afford our living expenses. Please be patient with us. We know everyone wants their orders we have over 900 orders between this and our Dream keep dragon campaign and our products are so large we can only fit around 30 a trip. We will make sure everything gets sent out as soon as possible, but please try and be understanding and patient with us. We are not Amazon and not a huge team of people. Not directed at anyone specifically, but Constantly answering individual “where is my order?” From many people who don’t read our updates and aren’t following our socials or discord, where we frequently share status and have been very transparent, also slows the process because now we take hours each week just responding to messages.
Again, just with the two of us. We don’t have the means to hire yet, so we are handling packing, shipping, social media, posting updates, responding to customer requests, and I’m still dealing with manufacturing, revisions, artwork, legal requirements for protections patents trademarks etc, THEN my regular job requirements. Not to mention our family and friends barely see us. Please have some patience. Please remember we are not machines we are human and have needs. We want to make everyone happy but we also need to take care of our health and not fall into pressure and people pleasing. Ask yourself if you are being kind. Are you reading our updates? We are doing our best to keep you all informed. Make sure you are following us on- https://linktr.ee/ComfortKingdom And join our discord! HERE Thank you. People are sharing and getting their orders!
Star Dreamer in progress at factory
We have a lot of other fun things planned coming up that we hope you will join us in. More will be revealed very soon!
We have some upcoming events that Comfort Kingdom will be at where you guys can get items you may have missed out on, chat with I or Randall and share in our growing community and fandom! So far here are the events you can find Comfort Kingdom at.
2025 OCTOBER: 10/4 -Great Ohio toy show Xenia Ohio 10/16-10/19 Pony friends forever, San Antonio Texas NOVEMBER: 11/14-11/16-Motor City Comic Con: NOVI, MI DECEMBER: 12/4-12/6 - Midwest Furfest: Rosemont, IL MARSCON
we have a fun pintopia update! We are still waiting on a few of the final pin designs but more are on the way and we will begin shipping things from this campaign very soon!
Please be aware that if you have to pay import VAT taxes etc YOU are responsible for this. We have not and will not be collecting VAT taxes or any customs taxes. We will begin shipping pintopia probably sooner than the Dream Keep campaign as that will take longer to inspect and sort.
We are also offering local pickup either here in columbus Ohio by appointment, or at Dragon Con in Atlanta labor day weekend! Please arrange with us in advance if you plan to pickup at a show so we make sure to have the orders aside and prepped.
Please confirm your shipping addresses as we will be locking them VERY soon once the pins arrive! Unicones are all complete and on their way to us as well!
There are still a few of you that have not filled out your surveys. Some of which have paid over $300 and have not responded, selected your rewards, etc. Once everything is complete and shipped out for those that have, you will have two months to reach out and have your email address fixed if needed, and fill out your survey or you will be forfeiting your order. I just personally would be checking constantly if I spent that much and haven’t heard anything or gotten a survey. I have tried hunting people down and sending personal emails. I don’t know what else I can do. PLEASE let us know if you did not receive your survey or if you need help fixing anything with your order before we lock in shipping addresses!
Ok without further ado, Here are some new pin and production updates!
“Peppercorn” had a minor color issue so they are fixing it before they finalize and finish production on him and send him. I am IN LOVE with Popcorn! She came out so much better than I could have hoped!
Our comforting food friends are well on their way to completion! We have a few more pins we are waiting on and then all of the pins should be shipped to us as well and we will begin locking and finalizing all the shipping and orders for these guys! Make sure your cards and addresses are up to date as we gear up to start shipping out the Pintopia rewards very soon!
The rewards tied to the dragons will have to wait just a bit longer since we have not yet put the companions into production but they should be going very soon! We will keep you all updated!
We also got updates for the mini unicone pins and my GOSH they are cute!!
If we did another Mythical Munchies Stress-Ball Campaign with other mythical munchy friends or other unicone stress-ball flavors in the near future would you guys be interested?
Let me know in comments who you’d like to see and if you’d be interested! If there are enough I’ll set up a poll and maybe do some prototypes to be ready for the near future once everything else is fulfilled.
Orders are locking tonight and cards will be charged. Please make sure that your cards are ready!
For the Original Kickstarter Campaign you have a couple weeks yet but those will be closing and locking soon too!
That being said: A bit of annoucements on shipping and pricing due to tariffs:
Shipping will be charged based on weight of entire order based on calculations looking up codes from our location to the destination quotes and price brackets and options.
I am a little surprised I need to mention this or post about it, but there seems to be some confusion, or questions regarding why it may say the cost of a package from point A to Point B is quoted at one price and ours is a bit over that. If shipping may cost a certain amount that you are used to and researched based on amazon or other orders you’ve gotten etc, please remember that we are a very small business, and we have to also include our packing materials, the weight of the items, and now also added tax and tariffs for the items shipping to us. We are currently taking on the majority of the burden of the tariffs and taxes. I will be still trying to offer some other exclusives and items to offset the burden on us, so we can recoup some of the losses we didn’t anticipate, but just to be transparent:
We are in process of getting a loan to make sure that we can still produce and provide everything we promise and also pay the exhorbidant rush shipping to get at least the giant dragons here to us before the three month tariff hold expires. We will be fine and WILL be able to complete everything, but due to the 90 day only hold (Which by the way the Tariff is still at 30 percent and 30 percent of over 100K is nothing to sneeze at) Just the shipping on the giant dragons alone due to the skyrocketed pricing from everyone rushing to get their orders is close to 25K. Let that sink in. 25,000 dollars for SHIPPING to us. Today I received an email questioning an added ten dollars on top of the normal shipping price they expected. I kept everything as close to the estimations on the weight brackets I found online, but they are constantly changing, also factoring in that we had to do extra safety testing to ensure we could still ship to overseas countries, PLUS having to pay for two different safety tests each costing thousands, so we could both ship either unstuffed or stuffed and not risk things getting seized and held up in customs. in addition to getting a european representative to register each product having to pay monthly fees due to all the new laws and safety regulations , its no wonder many other companies have stopped shipping outside the US all together. We didn’t want to do that, and my word is my bond. In doing all of this and after calculating the basic costs for shipping not including the materials, I am adding a few extra dollars on top of the regular shipping cost to compensate. I know it sucks having to pay a bit more, but we are also going to wind up forgoing the 3rd party inspection at least for the giant dragons due to time constraints in getting things here during the 90 day window, so WE will have to be quality checking ourselves, and doing our best to provide everything to you guys. (Thankfully it sounds like we have a couple awesome friends who also sew plush who say they will help us with that part when they arrive…)
I want to be transparent with you all, and I hope this will be ok with all of you. Nothing has been pocketed. I have not touched a DIME of funds raised, because it’s not mine. It is yours, and I’m just borrowing it until we make all these creations and can then provide what we promise. Until everything is made every dollar has gone into this project.
We are raising the prices for new purchases across the board for each product to help us offset some of the cost going forward but have not raised the prices that are locked in from the pre-orders or campaign that has already been charged. I am doing everything in my power to ensure that we build trust with all of our patrons and provide all that we promised, in hopes that you all will help champion US if we do a future campaign and hopefully the next one can grow even larger and bring us some profit, so we can grow our brand and actually make a living. I believe in these dragons and am so honored that you all have supported them.
Because we knew the basic weights and have already received some pins and had the unicones here we did our best to put the weights of the items so it would automatically calculate the entire order. For “Pintopia” Shipping is charged because the items will arrive sooner and should start shipping out in a month or so.
Thank you all for your continued patience and support with this project. We will also be offering local pickup for those that want to meet us at a show to get their items.
We just got the annoucement that we will have a booth in the vendor hall at Dragon Con and we are rushing to get at least all the giant dragons and some of the small and all unicones and pins well before then, so if any of you are planning to make the trek to Atlanta you can arrange to pickup your items from us there and save the shipping costs.
