First off, I want to sincerely apologize for the long silence since our last update in January. We know communication is incredibly important, especially when it comes to crowdfunding, and we appreciate everyone who has continued to be patient with us while we’ve been working behind the scenes.
Going forward, we’ll be moving to bi-monthly updates so everyone has a clearer and more consistent view of where production stands.
The main reason for the lack of updates is that we’ve been deep in the 3D render stage, working to make sure each design is properly translated from concept to collectible. This part of production can be a lot slower than it looks from the outside, especially when we’re trying to get the shapes, expressions, poses, proportions, and overall feel exactly right before moving into physical samples.
We also had to take some time to sort through fulfillment and production work on some of our other campaigns first. That said, this campaign has absolutely not been forgotten or abandoned. We’ve still been actively working through the production pipeline, even if we haven’t communicated that as clearly as we should have.
The exciting news is that sampling has officially begun!
To kick things off, we wanted to show you a look at the Pacifica render, which is currently being sampled. This is one of the pieces we’ve been refining, and we’re really excited to finally start sharing more of the progress with you all.
.
As we move forward, we’ll be using these updates to show more renders, sampling progress, production notes, and any changes or improvements happening along the way.
Thank you again for sticking with us. We know the wait has been long, and we don’t take your patience lightly. We’re excited to finally start opening the curtain again and show you what we’ve been working on.
More updates soon, and yes we’ll be keeping them consistent from here.
We wanted to share a gentle check-in on the Fun noReFunds blind box campaign, and also acknowledge that this update is long overdue. The past months have been especially demanding as we worked through challenges across several other campaigns, and we truly appreciate your patience while we worked to get things back on steadier footing.
We’re happy to share that we’ve officially begun sampling and the 3D modeling the Ford, which is an important early step in bringing this project to life. It’s the stage where ideas start becoming real!

There’s still more ahead before we’re ready to show finished pieces, but we wanted to let you know that progress is underway.
We’ll share another update as we tackle all the models and when samples start coming in. Till next time
Does anybody really eat cereal anymore? I can't remember the last time I had a bowl of cereal. Of course, we also don't have much in the way of sugary marshmallow-smothered grains in the UK. We're mental enough without getting that Red-40 in our chops.
We asked our creative followers to doodle up THEIR ideas for a FUN No ReFUNds Mystery Box advert, and we're gonna be posting them throughout the campaign, with a link to the artist's profiles and plenty of thank yous. Be warned, many of them will tickle your funnybone!
This beautiful piece is by Raizuimp- who has some of the most gorgeous, clean lines I've ever seen. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. SHOOT 'EM A FOLLOW, FOLKS!

Today's is an insanely cute tele-centric piece by Pinkbourne.e, whose profile is FULL of awesome Owl House stuff and well worthy of a follow. You know the drill! Hit that follow button! NOW!
I loooove the fact this piece implies that the show's art style really is just for marketing, and our heroes are actually proportionately-headed doe-eyed kids. It's both creepy and adorable. Creedorable. Adoreepy? Answers on a postcard, people!
I HEAR EVERYONE. Specifically for the leaderboards. I understand all of your concerns and I need everyone to please take a deep breath. I personally needed time yesterday, it was both parents birthday, my father just had a stroke the beginning of the year and I havent seen him much and wanted to spend the most time on the 26th for his bday to make it special. No it doesnt help that I didnt realize it landed on the same day as when my campaign ended, hence me not post much at all that day or the day prior. Im only disclosing this with yall on here because well... I am exhausted too and we are human on the SBE team.
As for the leaderboards, I have been trying to work with Backerkit from the get go with trying to turn off the leaderboards for WHEN THE CAMPAIGN ENDED which was yesterday on Oct. 26th at 1pm PST. We are unable to close it on our end and we are asking them to close it for us. They Backerkit team doesn't work on the weekends as normal business' don't. They are still working on close it. That DOES NOT MEAN you need to continue to interact with the page at all. We have gotten all ten leaders from the end of the campaign written down. As I mention, 1st place or 10th place it does not matter, it only matters if you are on the leaderboard. Leaders are as follows, not in any order.
As for those who'd wanted to choose to back out due to this issue before it was addressed. I hear you and your frustration. These things that we set are suppose to be fun and light hearted and if it brought you stress I sincerely apologize. We just hope you understand that we are doing our very best as well.
As for the special item, it is a color variant for the Boo Boo Cosplayer. We wanted to keep it underwraps as we wanted to build community more than trying to have people fake comment or post to try to get the toy.
I hope this clears things up. Till next update Richmond
