Keychains Freebie keychains are in IL but tracking hasn't updated so hoping they show up before Momocon so I can send orders out. If not, expect that orders will arrive sometime in June.
Taco Dragons The remaining taco dragons are finished being remade. Received an update last night.
Custom Cats + Orange Mistake Cats Placing the order this week (aiming for tonight but I also have a lot I'm working on so we'll see?). If you wanted one of the custom cats, I will be adding preorders on site for them here: https://robotdragon.studio/collections/pin-preorders
They won't show up until I have paid for the order so just keep that in mind. This manufacturer is also slow but I prefer using her over others since she fixes problems for me without me asking. Worth the extra cost tbh.
I will also add the darker orange cats with their more "Garf-esque" stripe prints since these were already produced the wrong color. The ones you all have received are correct, these I'm just paying extra for since it's a waste to throw them out over a color. So they will also be available for preorder once the other two go live as well. That means 3 new cats you can collect.
Packages Received Please check your orders once you receive them. I made a mistake on one order where I made the shopify thing wrong and then rushed getting things out so I didn't cross check it well and sent the wrong pin to someone. That's been fixed, but I do take photos of all the orders that are shipped (or my husband does). So it's easy enough to cross check what I sent with what you should have received. I usually do this for insurance reasons in case something goes missing and I have to submit an order for it, but it helps for when I make a mistake too.
Either way, thank you guys for letting me know!
Hope everyone who has received their items loves their pins so far.
Local Pickup I think I have spoken to all of you who selected this. If not, please message me. Pretty sure it was only 3 of you - two in MN and one in FL? Either way, better to figure things out now in case I missed you. = )
Future Projects & In Progress Projects I think that's everything for the moment. I'll be getting the other project designs vectored for the other Flames & Flavors thing soon. I don't have a real ETA on the launch for it yet, but we'll see. I will continue to do more small scale projects I think just to make sure people aren't stretched too thin trying to collect everything but also so that I am not overwhelmed by costs in case more tariff issues come up.
For the Piles of Plush project, I will be coming back to it and cross checking things, so expect more of those to be sent out. I may try and order Toby plush this month before I leave but I'm gonna verify the changes. Everything is so up in the air I really can't afford the extra increase on the plush because they are already very expensive to produce. So if you backed that one just know it will get finished and this being done first doesn't really change much. I never actually make the amount of money you see shown and I've always lost money on every project bc of that. So I am working on it. :D I think I combined some of the stuff from this project and the keychains from that one for those who backed both but also are waiting on other items to be produced.
Hair claws are my focus for this year now that I have a sample book for them. Kitsune & Fox claws will be my next project for that and I think since I never made the stickers, those will also include pins to match the designs so we have plush, pins and claws for each of the new plushies. There are a ton of these color samples, I have like 1,000 but there are 5,000 options so anyways.. lol. We'll see what route I go but I do expect to eventually do a nebula claw too. I love dragons and corgis so much. Can't just have my corgis. Anyways, I am just rambling now. :D
