Project Update: Updated timeline-
Alright so... good news and bad news-
Good news is, the new envelopes look great! The previous felt envelopes were of really questionable quality. I often had to resew the stitching, the heart buttons were scratched, and they were just generally a mess. When they looked great it was great but the quality was way too rocky and I'd end up with a pile of unusable envelopes.
Here's the new ones! Much much sturdier. I also ordered a bunch of extras this time since I know they're prone to getting lost or eaten by peoples dogs
Bad news... it's taken a very long time to get these envelopes made. I honestly thought it would take a few days to do the sample, few more days to send the sample over to my plush manufacturer to confirm it can attach, and that'd be that and we could do the bulk order. I've never had any sample take so long.
I was just told the bulk order of them will take 8 weeks...
This manufacturer is also making schoolboy Poe's little backpack, and I've worked with them before so I know the quality and everything will be as expected, but I really didn't expect this much of a wait for such a small item.
SO.
I'm very very sorry for the delay. I'll keep everyone posted as things move along, currently it's just waiting around.
The badly drawn Poe pins are in production now, along with the sticker set, patch, and badge. So I can pack up those freebie goodie bags for everyone in advance. I've also put aside all of the extra items everyone ordered so that I can pack and ship quickly. Once the plushies are here it'll be very smooth!
Here's the artwork for the little sticker set:
Here's the 3" iron-on patch:
and here's the button! Just the bit in the circle
If you have any questions please feel free to message me at [email protected]
Again I'm really sorry for the wait. Thank you for sticking around! Poes and Karls will be on their way as soon as possible :>
