The comic book is complete and production is in progress!
This has been a HUGE artistic endeavor, but we're so proud to get this 44 page detective adventure sent your way soon.

The LAST physical item we're working on is the lunchbox!
The prototype for Lunchbox Gabby is taking a little longer than we anticipated, but the good news is shipping dates are still looking pretty good! For our estimate to be based on a campaign that hit a lower goal and was fulfilled only by the two of us and some bribed volunteers, we're VERY excited to be only a couple weeks off schedule with a warehouse that will get your packages out FAST once all the items arrive. It's a big deal! What took us months upon months to do last year, our fulfilment partners will carry out in weeks. We just have to get everything to them and let 'em rip!

The video game has a dev!
We're thrilled to be partnering with a creative and wonderful dev for the Hyrax in the Rocks video game, and will soon have a steam page up for those of you who missed it to wishlist the game! This will be our next priority now that the comic book is complete.

Voice lines are being edited and will be sent out ASAP!
Keep an eye on the email associated with your BackerKit account! You'll be sent the mp3 file from [email protected] - it'll get to you in the next couple of days! I have A LOT of these emails to send, so please be patient!

Oh yeah - we're holding a charity auction that kicks off TODAY!
We're streaming on Twitch to kick off a very special Charity Auction to help victims of child abuse through the National Children's Alliance. You can donate straight to the cause to unlock fun stream milestones OR visit the auction house online to bid on exclusive angel hare merch such as plushies with voice boxes in them and a FIVE FOOT TALL PLUSH BIG GABBY! We also have posters, a tapestry, a golden francis bobblehead, and more! Check it out over the coming week, or join us today while we launch this very special event!

Thank you to everyone who supported us so tremendously to where we can even have the resources to give back in this way! We're still working very hard getting everything to you in a timely fashion, and will keep you updated along the way.

The next big step will be locking addresses next week! We'll send another update as a warning, but be prepared for that.

Until next time,
- The East Patch Team

Hello there! A lot of you may be wondering:

It's March - when do things ship?
In a few more weeks! There are a couple things to remember as far as shipping dates. 1) Our estimates were based on our previous campaign, which had fewer orders and different products, 2) Now that we're working with a fulfillment center, everything has to arrive at the warehouse before shipping starts, but once it does, packages will go out much faster than when we handled shipping ourselves, and 3) Once they do start sending out, actual arrival time will depend on your location relative to the California based shipping center. All of that said, we do still think we can hit late March or early April for things starting to go out! All the plushies have already arrived at the warehouse and other items have and will be joining them there! There's been a couple smaller delays but we're otherwise pretty well on track for what we predicted, given the unexpected and overwhelming support of this campaign compared to the last one!

The couple of smaller delays include the lunchbox samples being a little behind schedule, and the comic assets taking quite a while to put together. The Wylde Hare comic has been a sole focus for a good month and change, and is just starting to wrap up. We've already researched our manufacturer and it should come together very quickly once the assets are done. The above art is one of the panels, and we've had a lot of fun leaning into the aesthetic of vintage serials for this project! It's taken a LOT of work, but we're very happy with the soon-to-be-ready story.

Voice lines will be rolling out in the next 8-10 days for those of you who got a custom character line. We had to wait for folks on payment plans to finish their installments and complete their surveys, so we thank you for your patience as everyone caught up!

Address locks - Once the last remaining products are in production/en route to the factory, we're going to give notice for final addresses to be locked in. Until then, you can still edit your address if any changes or complications arise. We don't have the exact date for the last products yet, but will be giving address lock notice as soon as we do, so please keep an eye out for that! Once the warehouse starts shipping things out, we'll be unable to interrupt the process for changes or exceptions.

We're at the stage where things are gonna start coming together pretty fast, and we've been very pleased with how samples and production has been so far, so we're very excited for things to start going out to people!
If you want something to do while you wait, we're also hosting a charity auction at the end of this month for the National Children's Alliance, where we'll be auctioning off some one-of-a-kind Angel Hare items to support victims of child abuse.  You can keep an eye on our socials (Youtube community posts, twitter, bluesky, and discord announcements) for upcoming details and teasers involving that. 
We'll be back soon with more updates as they come! Thanks for your support,
Till next time!

The Zag look better than we anticipated, and have now hit production! A prototype of the lunchbox is on its way next 👀

Meanwhile we've been wrapping up the comic book line art and getting the video game scripted. Next on this list after comic art is the second card pack illustrations!

If you haven't gotten your survey or paid, there's still time! Please check your account email for BackerKit messages to fill those out or update payment as needed!

When will shipping start? We don't have an exact date at this time. The main campaign said since the start that we estimated shipping would start in March, but this is our first time using a fulfilment center! Please be patient with us as we get everything set up. Trust us, the professional warehouse will end up going MUCH faster than the two of shipping everything - we know, we did that with the Kickstarter plushies last year - so even if it takes a few weeks to get the logistics sorted, packages will fly fast after that, and no one will be waiting the months it takes us to pack boxes instead of animate more shows!

As more items get wrapped, we'll keep y'all updated! So far we're 200% thrilled with everything and can't wait to get it all headed y'all's way.

Until next time!

We're so thrilled with the quality of the crossover art prints!

Now all that's left to do is sign 240 of them... Sounds a bit daunting, so let's make it more fun!

Come join us TODAY, February 9th at 4pm EST as we stream on Twitch while signing y'all's prints!

See you soon,
- The East Patch Team

Would you look at those snazzy pins?
Our prototypes are in and we're absolutely chuffed. Vibrant colors, glistening gold trim, and clean lines all around! At 2 - 2.5 inches, they're a great accent to apparel, and we're thrilled to be sending out such fun and quality items to you all.

How's everything else looking?
Plushies and socks are under production, and our ongoing endeavor is to get the Wylde Hare comic book out on time! It has to take priority for shipping logistic reasons, and next on the docket is wrapping up the Hyrax in the Rocks 2025 restoration video game since it can then be delivered instantly in digital formats via Steam keys.

We're also working on the new Season 3 card pack art! The previous cards and activity books are all ready to throw into production, and we're getting the art prints shipped to us ahead of time so we can get signing them for y'all!

The lunchbox prototypes are still under development, but we'll let y'all know as soon as we have fun progress pictures to share.

Otherwise everything is still looking like we'll hit the March shipping estimation, so that's pretty exciting!

Until next time,
- The East Patch Team
