HI!!! So this project has been going on for a long time- and we're at the final stretch! The last estimated dispatch has now been delayed to sometime end of November (Hopefully getting to everyone before the holidays) but this also means photos! The mass manufacturing is now complete and due to be shipped off to me this week. If you need to change your address, try doing it yourself on your survey. Addresses are still not locked as I understand the wait time for this project means there could've been many big changes.

Once the addresses lock, there will be a 48 hour period to change the address last second before they cannot be changed anymore unless you directly ask me to. This won't be done for another fortnight, so don't worry bout that and enjoy the dragon photos!

Shipping has already been charged so there's nothing left for you to do asides from check on your address, cheers! <3

The mass manufacturing order will be made this week and they should arrive/be dispatched in September/October. Now I'm looking to lock orders after a week from now (I want to ensure everyone's had the time to look at the samples and update addresses!) on the 26/7/24 (GMT +11)

What does locking orders mean?

Since we're getting the ball rolling, here's some fun facts about the campaign so far :3

These are the final plushies' looks, and hopefully will arrive to you this October! <3

Though not all of them are at their final stage. You can see all planned changes and images of the samples below <3 

The samples with major changes will be revised before mass manufacturing begins and I will provide photos then! Pledges will be locked and shipping charged when I show the new samples (Which I estimate is another few weeks)so there's no rush!

I encourage everyone to look back at your surveys and double check you've got what you wanted chosen! There's still opportunity to add more plushies/smaller items if you wish like the charms and stickers (Of which everyone will get a few freebies anyhow!)

Stickers and charms have also arrived to me, so that part of manufacturing is complete! They will be sent out with your pledges once the plushies arrive to me (Which I now guesstimate will arrive in September since mass manufacturing will begin soon)

Feel free to ask any questions down below, thank you so much for everyone's patience <3

Now that a majority of you have been charged, for those experiencing problems, let me clear some things up!

If you're having any issues, please contact Backerkit personally as I have no control over anything regarding funds at this time. There is a two week window from now before a funding report is available for me for you to call up your bank and fix up any issues!

Confirming that shipping will be charged through the survey being sent out ASAP, right now I'm just configuring shipping costs to be accurate! Once I get all the numbers I need, I can set everything into manufacturing, including the charms and stickers. You'll also have the opportunity to add on any extra items through the survey you can pay for alongside your shipping, e.g. an extra plush or acrylic charm!

What's been charged now is your pledge, and everything has been charged in AUD (Australian Dollars!)

A heads up for Apple users as well, if you have Apple PrivateRelay active, there's a big chance that Apple has blocked access to your email for Backerkit and a survey won't send out properly! This is no big problem, just contact Backerkit or me via email through my store website and I or Backerkit can send you the link to your survey.

Surveys have not been sent out yet, but will be sent out in a day or two, so don't worry if you haven't gotten one yet, you're not supposed to!

A reminder our current timeline is:

Shipping costs outlined down under! (Costs in AUD)

Questions about any future designs: Most likely, I won't be doing more dragons for a long while with another project coming up and these taking so much time. If you're waiting for new designs such as Qibli or Moon, don't hold your breath! Most likely another large campaign for these guys will be done next year.

Sampling process will begin once I have the numbers I need to begin the manufacturing process (Beginning with sampling) and will provide images and revisions along the way.

Thank you so much for your patience!
