Hello Backers,
We wanted to take a moment to update you on your pledge rewards. As many of you know, this project was always intended to be a small reorder of the previous collection for those who missed out on the Kickstarter. It was chance for fans to get your hands on the ...

Hi Everyone!
Sorry for the silence lately, Hurricane shut down our power and internet so things were a bit crazy there for a bit.
We have pressed go on everything so things ar...
While I wish I had better news, it seems the holiday season has limited the boats we could schedule. The first boat we could book for the shipment departs December 9th, with an ETA into Houston on Jan 3rd.
I was hoping we'd find space before that, but here we are. But it's booked and ready to go!
I know this one has taken incredibly longer than any of us expected, and I need to get a review going on what happened that caused such a massive delay for pretty much all of the stages of manufacturing, but at least manufacturing is done, and finally being loaded onto a boat. Now let's hope that it arrives safe and sound.
That's all the news I have today, I'll post again if I have any additional news bits.
John here. I'm sure many of you have been seeing we've had a particularly busy schedule of late. We just fulfilled Cottage Core last month, and we launched Rae's Halloween Kickstarter this month. (We will get to that if you're interested below)
I've gotten some help on updates with Ronni and our marketing team doing some updates, but since I have a moment to breath, it felt like a good time to update everyone on Reroll.
We had some hiccups in the timeline, mainly product packaging that was suppose to be done, didn't get done because of some missing assets. Unfortunately the folks that were working on those files failed to meet the deadline for the project and ultimately I had to go in and take care of it. It's done, packaging is finalizing, and we should be good go and get on a boat within the next week or so, depending on scheduling at the shipping yard. I won't bore you with details there, but it's a logistical nightmare in the days since Covid. Sometimes delays happen, but ask anyone who's ever backed any of our projects, even with delays, we will always get your critters to you.
Mimic Update:
On a more awesome note, while everything else was going on, I secretly continued to update and improve the Mimic design! They are now squishier and sturdier than ever! We ended up not losing space in them as well which was a total bonus! So not only did we fix the lid "Overbite" issue, but we solved the "This plush isn't plushy enough!" problem even better than we had originally hoped without losing the "This Plush is a good box" attribute! So that's pretty cool I think. Take a look!
So much squish!!... and yes, I did boop that snoot back there laying on the Treasure Horde Blanket
So what happens now?:
Well, more waiting, but the waiting is almost over! Once they finish packaging everything, which my understanding doesn't take alot of time at all, they will be shoved into a big container (I'm really hoping for one of the new fancy bright pink containers, just so fitting) then shipped across a uncaring ocean, to us where we will ship them all out to you!
Thank you for your patience with all this, I know we've been busy over here, and it might appear that we aren't doing anything with Reroll, but I have continued to work on the project in the background so you can get your critters safe and sound!

In Other News:
Now, for folks that were more "Yeah, I know about delays, that's great I trust you, WHAT ABOUT THIS HALLOWEEN THING?"
Yep, that's Rae's official first kickstarter she ran. As we finished up the Reroll Campaign, Rae said, "Hey, I want to make a kickstarter. It's going to be called: Tentacle Kitty: This Is Meowlloween."
While she took the director role with: "I need a Mothman" or "Make a glowing skeleton" or "We finally need a Cthulhu Kitty", I would draw them up to match her vision of our most spooktacular series yet. She's been running updates more like mini comics, which gives me more work to do, but it's really fun and feels similar to how we were doing the mini Tabletop adventure here on Reroll, just with more art and less dice rolling.
There's a ton of cute critters, and if you're interested in a specific one, we are allowing folks to order them specifically on the Kickstarter. After the campaign, most of them will turn into a Mystery Bag set.
There's so much to go over, but there's a giant Cauldron that turns inside out into a pumpkin, a Glow in the Dark Candy Dragon (Posable like Ice and Starlight), Mothman, Ghosts, Cthulhu, and more!
You find yourself entering a village surrounded by forest along the main road. Tired, you seek the nearest Tavern for some Cotton Candy Mice and Popfruit Cider.
You notice they have an Adventurers Board. You head over and take a look. By the time you look up, you're surrounded by other adventurers doing the same.
"Sit down the lot of you! you're blocking the walkway!" The short goblin barkeeper yells at you all.
In a panic you all sit down on the same table. Embarrassed at the group foible, all of you accept your fates.
You introduce yourselves to one another.
(GM: Keep it PG folks, unless we are talking Dad Jokes, no adult topics or jokes)
I hope you had a great holiday season and a happy new year! We've been crazy busy in the background ourselves.
I know folks have been eager for Reroll to come in, and the last news that came in was we should be seeing the shipment arrive on the 7th. However I was just informed about 3 minutes ago that the vessel has been delayed by a couple days, so the arrival time is now looking at the 11th, but since that is the weekend, we won't be looking at cargo being unloaded and ready for pickup until the 13-15th, and that isn't even with any customs delays, which thus far I haven't heard anything, but that can change at any moment at the whim of the customs agents.
We are prepping for arrival and should be ready to start the process of shipping these out as soon as possible.
Almost at the finish line folks! Thanks for being patient and trusting us to deliver, even if things take longer than expected.
I'll update you if there is any changes to the plans, or just when we get the containers in hand!
Hi- I've gone through multiple campaigns with you, and have always received great quality plushies eventually (which is why I come back). However, this campaign seems to be the least updated you've had. I normally don't get nervous with you all, but the last update was two months ago, and the boat is supposedly coming into Houston tomorrow - but IS IT? I have my cottage core plushies - was hoping to get these sooner. I appreciate the clearly more realistic fulfillment dates of your latest campaign. I pledge assuming some amount of delay, but figure it would still be in the time frame when people like my kids will still want them. Sadly, that's no longer happening.
Anyway, so if you could please provide an update regarding: 1) whether the boat is coming into port tomorrow, 2) if not, what the new estimate arrival date is, and if the arrival is still into Houston, 3) when you expect to get the plushies in hand/ in distribution's hand for shipment (I understand it's an estimate, but at this point, given the boat status and your experience with distributors, I would imagine it should be a more educated estimate).
Thanks!
