Hello friends! Things are still chugging along, let’s make an update for what’s happened in the last month!
Plush Samples
Pocketcat is one update away from being perfected! We just need to change the orientation of his arms back to the original.
Kalev’s first sample is done. His full production has been paid for now, and we’re going to be making him brown. Otherwise, no more changes to the design.
Moonless is still… struggling, but she’s definitely getting there. I expect needing one more update to perfect the design. I’m going to change the mane colour to the same one used on her tail, make her teeth more rounded and change the body material so the paws aren’t as different.
Pins
The mini Moonless and Pocketcats are in full production and are being filled with colour.
The cross collab pins have finished colouring and sanding and are now waiting for electroplating!
Tariffs
As many people know, the USA currently has an 145% tariff on Chinese goods, which has been a problem for lots of creators I know. I’ve had a few people ask if it will affect this campaign - for now, the answer is no.
I’m based in the UK and my plushies are being sent from here, so there should be no tariff charged to any of you in the US. Currently UK goods are being charged at 10%, but your pledges come under the ‘de minimis’ exception which excludes goods under $800 from being tariffed.
I know this has caused a lot of anxiety for people, so I hope to assure you guys that as of now you won’t be affected. I’m keeping an eye on the situation and will keep you informed if there are any changes.
That’s all the updates I have for now. Thank you guys for your patience while I’m sorting production out!
