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!
