Project Update: Locking addresses + Managing funds
Hi everyone!
First of all, I want to thank you again for your patience as I navigate my very first pin campaign. It’s been a bit more challenging than expected, especially with the IUD infection that’s had me in and out of the hospital - but I’m pushing through, and I’m truly grateful that this project was funded thanks to all of you. 💜
I’ll now be locking all addresses. Hopefully everyone has had a chance to fill theirs in, but if you run into any issues, feel free to email me at [email protected].
Pins: The good news: manufacturing for the pins is already underway, and everything is running smoothly with our pin maker!
Plushies: There is, however, a little bump in the road with the plushie manufacturer. When I ordered the sample, they gave me a bulk order price for about 100 plushies. Unfortunately, when it came time to place the final order a few months later (when I last talked to them), the price had gone up kind of significantly. I suspect this is partly due to recent US tariffs on goods from China.
This increase was unexpected, but I’ll be covering the difference out of my own pocket; it’s not the backers’ responsibility. I’m sticking with the same manufacturer because I want to maintain the quality of the plushies, and I truly believe it’s worth it.
To help offset the extra cost, I’m considering launching a mini dragon pin campaign that will run for just a couple of weeks. This is purely optional and there’s no expectation for Frozen Felines backers to support it. But if you like the design when I share it, any extra support would help. I’ll post here once it’s pre-launched!
Please don’t worry - no matter what, you will receive your plushies and pins as promised.
Thank you again for your incredible support and understanding!
All the best,
Julia
