Project Update: [IMPORTANT] Production Samples arrived, Birthday Nu Poll Open! Tariffs & Our Future..
Hello Noop Troop!
This is a picture heavy update and has an important poll attached for those who ordered BIRTHDAY NU.
Please only respond to the poll if you've ordered Birthday Nu!
First order of business: Birthday Nu!
She is so cute and so lovely, but her fur shade is lighter than the first production we did. This is to be expected sometimes as it's been roughly 2.5 years since we produced her.. But I also understand that isn't what was advertised, and I want to get your feedback before proceeding!
I've asked Steven to see if they have a shade closer to the first production, and I should hear back from him later tonight.. If they do, I will just ask that they revise the production to have that shade. I know she looks more like Pink Lemonade in this shade, but I do hope she's still just as precious to those who ordered!

and now to address the elephant in the room.. Sorta.
The future of Noopy & the current Tariff's situation.
Honestly, I am still not even sure how to address the current events as they are constantly changing (by pretty much every hour) and my primary stance has been to just standby and take it one day at a time.
First, it should be known that as of this project update, our production is not affected. If this changes, I will work with Steven to find solutions.
I want to assure backers that I am actively monitoring the current events and am working closely with my representatives to ensure the safe arrival of our campaign items.
For the impending tariffs changes, I presently cannot give any sort of definitive confirmation on whether or not future productions will be affected. One of the 'perks' to producing in such limited runs is that our final shipment values are on the lower side, and any additional duties that may be billed should be relatively affordable, although inconvenient.
Once the time comes for the bulk of our production to arrive to me, I will have a better idea on how my orders are affected and will have an action plan in place. Right now however, I am just standing by and hoping the madness ends and a proper negotiation deal takes place.
Stay hopeful and keep your chin up, Noop Troop. Right now times are uncertain, but I do remain optimistic that there will always be a solution or workaround for small businesses like us. There will absolutely be changes and a ripple effect from the tides, but, we can get through this. Just continue to support your small businesses and be the beacon of hope and light for those who are struggling. Community is invaluable, and I am so grateful for the support despite these challenging times.
