I hope you're all doing well! I know some of you have started to receive your non-plush orders, which is awesome!! Unfortunately, a kind backer informed me of a major flaw with ALL the Dreamy pins! It's so embarrassing to admit, but I've been so focused on so many things that I hadn't noticed myself-- all the Dreamy pins unfortunately have a mis-colored leg!
As you can see here, their back thigh is yellow instead of white. I'm mortified that we have already sent out a bunch of these defective pins! Fortunately, I reached out to my manufacturer, who apologized for the error and will be sending replacements for ALL Dreamy pins in a couple weeks time! Anybody who already received a Dreamy pin WILL be getting a replacement. So, so sorry for sending out defective pins without noticing earlier! I am very thankful a kind backer pointed out this error to me.
Additionally, ALL dragon plushies are wrapping up production shortly, and will be shipping my way soon! It'll take a bit for them to reach here, but I'm very much looking forward to them touching base in the US soon! I'll keep y'all fully posted when they finally arrive, and update with photos of the batches of plushies when I have them!
Thank you all SO so so so much for your patience and support as always! I very much look forward to updating you all soon again!!
I wanted to do another very quick update to let you know- I am closing orders and charging cards tomorrow! That means you won't be able to edit your order (so I have exact numbers) and will be charged for shipping and additional pre-order/post-order items that weren't previously charged from the campaign period tomorrow!!
Additionally, that also means that non-plush orders will be shipping out shortly! Please double-check your addresses to make sure they're fully accurate (if you did NOT order a plush) just to make sure your order is going to the right place!!
I cannot WAIT to get your items to you all ASAP ;AAA;
Have a great rest of your week and wonderful weekend!!!
If you're still interested in pre-ordering any items before tomorrow, check them out over here!!
I wanted to do a quick and exciting update! After a couple months of back and fourth with the Dreamy prototype, we are FINALLY at the very end of it's design! Here's the finished design, with a couple notes for the very last changes to it (just so y'all can see how it's going to look!)
The top is the photos I've recieved from my manufacturer, the bottom is my notes! As you can see, we are at the VERY end of the prototyping phase-- we just need the paw embroidery details (which they've made previously and forgot to include on this sample) and the scale embroidery moved over very slightly! I'm so, so excited to finally get this little wish dragon produced with all the others!!
Dreamy and all the other dragons (pin, plush, and otherwise!) are all still available for pre-order hereuntil Friday (5/30)!! When Friday rolls around, I'll be closing orders officially and charging cards for any additional pre-order item, add-ons (that were previously unpaid) and shipping totals!
I'll keep you all FULLY posted on updates as they come! Once the orders are finally closed and cards charged, I can FINALLY ship non-plush orders out, as well! That means fulfillment for pins, stickers, and prints can start sooner than expected! Any order with a plush, however, will need to wait until the plush finish production and ship over to me. I'll let you know exactly when they're finished and when they're shipping!
Thank you all SO SO SO SO much for your patience while navigating a... weird time to make merch, ahaha. And I cannot WAIT to get all these lil dragons to you all!!
Hey y'all! Hope you're all having a great start to your week!
I wanted to do a quick update to let you know that the Bob plush prototype is finally finished and approved!! Here's the little holiday ham now!!
Bob is made of stretchy minky material, so they will be VERY squishy! I cannot wait to have them in hands to share more photos! Here is the underwing detail too- You can still place a preorder for the Bob plush over here!! We're still 6 pieces from having Bob be fully funded, but regardless of how many are ordered, I'm gonna eat the additional cost and make sure they're made anyways! I just like 'em too much....
Another quick update- the Dreamy prototype still has some issues I've been working on ironing out. I want this little wish dragon to be perfect when done, so sorry for the long wait on my end getting them prototyped and shared with you. As I said previously, I will NOT lock orders NOR charge for additional items or shipping until the Dreamy prototype is approved. I want you all to be able to see exactly what you're getting before charging for it. I know that's making this process get delayed and go extra slow, but I think it's for the best for everybody in the end!! It could take 2 weeks or 2 months. I'll keep you fully informed on the process as it's happening. So sorry for the major delays!
ALSO-- the full effect of the new USA tariffs are looming to take effect on May 2nd. I am HOPIN' beyond hopes that they will be reversed, but I do have a couple different options to take once they go into effect. I can't lie-- I am pretty nervous about them, but I am certain that these dragons will all be produced and sent to you before I start lookin' into doing anything differently!
Thank you again so, so much for all your patience while I'm in prototyping heck!! I cannot WAIT to share Dreamy when they are done. Thank you!!!
Hope you're having a wonderful day! I wanted to update you that we have received the stickers, prints, and now all the pins successfully from the campaign!
I'm so glad they all arrived without issue! I am, unfortunately, still awaiting on the plushies to finish prototyping BEFORE I lock orders and put the official charge in for shipping & extra items (I want you to know exactly what you'll be getting for both the Dreamy and Bob plushies, which is why I have been delaying the order lock!!). It's been a little tough to get the designs exactly right, but I am really, really looking forward to sharing them with you ASAP!! Hoping the next update I make it about the plushies!
You can additionally pre-order both Dreamy and Bob plushies, as well as all the other items here!! Bob is still 5 orders away from officially unlocking, how exciting!!
Now, for the tariff talk. I know we are all very much aware of the current situation with the tariffs in the USA. Unfortunately, I do not yet know how my business will do under the current tariffs. I'm trying to remain positive and at LEAST fulfill all the plushies from this campaign before seriously restructuring how I do things, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't very nervous about how it's going to go. I will keep you all FULLY informed and updated about production and tariff issues, but as things stand, I'll honor every order made on this backerkit without issue and deal with any issues that arise from the tariffs as they come. Thank you all so, so much for your patience and understanding while I navigate this.
Thank you all so much again for your patience! I cannot WAIT to share the finalized plushies and get orders locked asap...!!!!
