Sorry I'm a bit early on this. Con crunch started early and I have been non stop between the sewing machine and emails. 


Remaining Surveys
We are down to 2 remaining surveys. I'll be locking surveys in 8 days. Reward fulfillment cannot be guaranteed if you do not fill out your surveys. Please finish filling out surveys! Late surveys risk missing out on rewards. 

Stickers...
I'm contacting the manufacturer to find out why they haven't started printing almost a month after the order. I'm not happy, to say the least. 

Pin Updates
Checkers is on his way to me! 
Wackford is in Production! 
Pinecone goes into Production Friday! 

Trying to stay consistent with our weekly updates.

Thank y’all who have completed your surveys. I’m working on confirmed tallies so that we have enough of each item to fulfill survey orders, preorders, and any extras. Surveys will lock on April 4th. Cards will not be charged until July 25th for preorders, shipping, and any additional purchases done through surveys. I will continue to email and remind incomplete pledges and surveys.

Shipping is on par for August.

The unlockables will be changed to 10 to unlock. I decided upon this as there is plenty interest in certain unlockables and I want to give em a chance. I have reworked some numbers so that production goes as smooth as possible. If you want help unlocking pins, share the link to the preorder store with folks~ 

The preorder store closes in 14 days!

While we are still mostly on schedule, some things have been delayed. All stickers are supposed to be finished by the 19th but they are backed up for order printing. The latest they state would be the 26th but if there is further delay, I will let you know in subsequent updates. 

Wackford has technically gone into production, but a proof hasn’t been sent yet. Should I receive it, I’ll include it in a following update. 

Pinecone is on par to go into Manufacturing on March 28th.

My manu is aiming to have some sort of update on Checkers before I prepare to go out of town on April 8th.

Unrelated but…related; I will be out of office from April 8th-April 15th. There is a small chance I will be able to post an update on the 14th…small. I will be unable to address comments and concerns during that time but my goal is to provide as much information and resources as possible by the 7th. Otherwise, I shall be right back to work on the 16th.

Whoo boy... So this update is a bit... 

So the thank you cards came in and the company that I used to make them used generative AI to alter the art. I will be spending this week and next fixing the issue. 

Wackford goes into manufacturing this Friday.

Surveys and preorder store will lock in 24 days! Please fill out your surveys if you have not yet! Remember, if preorder pins do not unlock, then you will not be charged for them. 

Time for the Items in Hand/Survey Reminders/Manufacturing Update!

Starting with Surveys, 4 Respondents Remain. The sooner these are filled out, the sooner we can get official item tallies! Backerkit sends reminders every few days!

The first order of keychains is in hand! Images below!

Checkers officially went into manufacturing yesterday! They've sent a proof as well! Wackford will go into manufacturing Friday the 14th as planned! The stickers are in the printing stage!

I'm still in the process of modifying Maverick's pin.


That's it for this update!

To start, 76% of surveys are complete! Thank y’all for getting to that! Thanks  smoke testers for ensuring that the surveys functioned as intended. Also if you’re wanting one of our unlockables to become available, tell your friends about our preorder store! Reggie’s pin is currently the closest to being unlocked!

All paid surveys have been sent out! Please check your inboxes. If you still have not received your survey, let me know and I'll resend the link through email. 


Let’s talk manufacturing!

The Sticker Sheets and Maverick Stickers are in manufacturing.
The Physical Thank You Cards are in manufacturing.

I’m in discussions with my manu about the Maverick Pins. Those may be delayed to April 25th due to having to simplify the design for color limitations before manufacturing.

Checkers goes into manufacturing Monday. 
Wackford goes into manufacturing March 14th. 
Pinecone goes into manufacturing April 25th. 


The first order of keychains are set to arrive to me this Saturday! 
The second order of keychains went into manufacturing today!

That's enough of my jabbering today. Will be back with another update hopefully by Monday/Tuesday!
