Quick update to let y'all know the pin remakes came in this month as anticipated!
Box o' Nibble and Friends
In addition to the Gold Ear Nibbles, I acquired remakes of six designs with the highest flaw rate. After many days of squinting at pins, I'm pleased to say they're all graded and carding is underway.
Gold Earred Army
Of the 21 backers who elected to wait for gold ears, 11 of you are outside of the US - your orders will be going out this upcoming week. The remaining 10 all provided US addresses, but I have tentatively good news for you: PostNL is rolling out a DDP (Delivery Duties Paid) solution to resume shipments to the States!
I've signed up for a PostNL business account and am looking into the particulars. This will certainly be more expensive shipping than anticipated, but as it's just 10 of you I'll cover the difference on my end and we should be able to wrap up the entire project by October rather than waiting for the March 2026 deadline on the American end of the equation, which is a massive relief all around; leaving anyone lingering that long didn't sit right with me if at all avoidable.
Carding the lil buddies!
That being said, I'm proceeding cautiously. I'm going to ship one (1) US order first to see if it gets through without issue, then if all goes well the remaining 9 of you can follow suit (I've already contacted my test subject).
So this may be the second to last update on Short Circuit 1.0: the next you'll hear from me in this space will hopefully be to confirm the last of your bot friends are in the mail, which is really exciting!! Just in time for —
Please come love on these delightful psychopomps with me, I'm so excited about them!
Short Circuit 1.1, Spooky Circuit. More of the artwork for this expansion is ready and I paid my manufacturer for samples of Remnant (hyena) and Web (spider) a couple weeks ago.
If you follow my socials or that campaign directly, you may have already seen some of the other upcoming Units, and if not go check out the Launch Party for a round up of the new designs so far!
