I'm not happy, to say the least...

With the remaining pins that still need to finish manufacturing and the 145%-245% tariff that's in place, $2000-$2800 for manufacturing is clearly above what has been raised by you wonderful backers and what I can feasibly pay for out of pocket. This hurts all small businesses and we're trying to do what we can here. I was given the option to add a tariff fee to the incomplete pins, but I don't want everyone to pay more for an issue that is not in your control or mine.

Pin production is on hold and therefore NO ORDERS WILL BE FULFILLED until these tariffs are removed, reduced, or something changes.

I spent some time coming to this decision over everything that is going on right now. I'm working on going to a different sticker manufacturer after my go-to sticker manu refuses to refund me for the ordered stickers, nor produce my stickers. There's always something...


I wish it weren't all bad news.

Back from Furry Fiesta and had a good time assisting my friend vending.

Lets talk tariffs...unfortunately. 

So tariffs are an additional 135% on top of manufacturing and delivery prices. So for a 50 Qty order of one pin design that would be $600 minimum. We still have 4 more pins that need to manufacture. 

My manu is holding off on manufacturing Pinecone, Maverick, our Collab Pin and Reggie until we both get the all clear from this mess blowing over. I was hoping this would be quick but the Moron in Cheif's Tariff Policy is an attempt to hurt small businesses. The only options are to

We will continue to fight back in any way we can. So we will keep you updated during the manufacturing freeze. If this doesn't end by June then I will have to consider alternatives. I hate that this is what we're dealing with... 

Wackford is on the way to me but I'll likely have to pay the additional $400+ to have them imported and arrive to me. 

Stickers....no update. I'm looking at a new manufacturer for that this week. I am.... Livid to say the least.


I'm sorry for a mostly negative update...I just really want to get y'alls items to you.

Forgive for the lateness on the updates. I had to go to the doctor recently and I am waist deep in con crunch. 

In discussion with pin manu for Pinecone. 

Stickers... They claim a 4 week backup. I'm giving until April 25th before requesting a refund. I'm sorry about all of these delays. 

Orders lock tomorrow so make sure you confirm all the items that you want and the preorders that you pledge for! 

On preorders, the items that didn't reach funding will be removed. I may manufacture them on my own at some point later in the year. 

I'll be out of town until the 15th so I'll see y'all then! 

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.
