Project Update: ❄️ IceScream Cryptids – Survey Reminder (just 3 left), Payments and the Future of IceScream Cryptids

Hi, Cryptid Friends.

We are so close to having all surveys completed — only 4 surveys are still missing.
If you happen to be one of those three backers, please take a quick moment to fill it out.
Choose your pins, add any add-ons if you like, and confirm your address at the end.

Please also fill them out if you just have thrown a coin into the Tip Jar. Two of this Donations had the Status of Early Birds / +3 backed L&M Projects and would show shipping cost for the Mini Pin. One of the two cases already has been solved.
So just confirm by filling out the survey whether you want to stick with the donation or order something else.
If the confirmed survey shows that you want to stick with the €1 donation, I would remove the physical items that are responsible for the shipping costs shown. (Adding them back in afterwards would be a bit complicated, so I decided to wait on the answers.)

Once all surveys are completed, I will close them on March 9th 😉.


The first round of charging cards is scheduled for March 10th.
If it doesn’t work for you right away, that’s okay — you will still have some extra days. However, starting early next week I would like to place the production orders for Mothman and Jackalope, as well as their limited variants

Adress locking Date isn't set yet, it will happen when it comes to Shipping.


The Pre-Order Store itself will remain open until further notice.





Important Note:

Orders from the Store that include not unlocked Characters are counted as Pre-Orders and will be shipped together with Items of the upcomming IceScream Cryptids 2 Project, that can just become reality with your help.



📦 Combined Shipping Option for Returning Backers

I also have something to offer for those whose carts contain items that will ship later:

I’m offering the option to combine the shipping of IceScream Cryptids 1 items with other upcoming campaigns you might want to back.

Returning backers of Part 1 who support my upcoming project:

Pretty Big Kitty during the Beasts & Botanicals Event

... and/or IceScream Cryptids 2 (currently in development and planned for release later this spring), will receive a shipping discount on the remaining IceScream Cryptids items — in other words, the rewards can be shipped together.
This should work well because the combined packages will most likely stay under the 2 kg shipping limit.
If a package does exceed that limit, you would not pay the full €18 again, only the difference to the next shipping tier. (About 8-10€)

I'm sure to find a way to organize this for a manageable amount of Backers.
And it is very close to my Heart to find a solution that makes everyone happy in the End ;)




The Future of IceScream Cryptids:
Many of you may have already heard that there will be a second part to the series. ;)

Click on IceScream Cryptids 2, when you wanna count in early!


I have now also decided that there will be a third part. More on that below.

As for part 2, in addition to the 9 cryptids from part 1 and the 3 Wendigo Skulls (Deer, Unicorn, Jackalope), there will be Big Foot, Werewolf, Witch Cat, and Pumpkin Pup and Places 1-3 of the  “Which Cryptids would you like to see next” poll, as well as revelations of new character Drawings.
More figures will appear in part 3, maybe around Halloween, maybe a little later.

Why this division?
1. I want to keep the gap between parts 1 and 2 of the series as short as possible. Since there are items with longer delivery times, which affects about half of the orders, it is important to me not to drag the whole thing out indefinitely.

2. I have already mentioned Beasts and Botanicals. But I also plan to participate in Printopia and finally publish my story (or at least the first volume) after a lot of hard work. So this year could become pretty sheduled - and this is just the art part ...
This year could bring more unexpected (hooopefuly positive) things.

I hope you can understand that and I do my best tho organize that all. ;)


Warm regards,
Akitaya
