The Nessies have made it to the US a while ago, but apparently are held up in customs. I keep asking our rep what is going on, but they don’t currently have any further news. So it’s just the waiting game.
We were hoping to have these here and then start charging shipping and sort them out to have some for dragon con too, but that doesn’t look likely at this point… We even got them all paid and finished and shipped three months in advance but this is the world we currently live in.
We’ve not gotten anything held up in customs before, so I guess it was just our turn.
Other than that, everything else is here and or ordered and once we get back from Dragon Con we will at least ship out any of the pin only orders, or dragon/ pin orders that don’t have nessies, until they arrive. So keep your fingers crossed the nessies are freed from customs soon!
In the meantime our Series 2 campaign is still taking preorders, and we only need 40 orders to create weighted Dark Ness! Go pre-order your own while you can HERE!
Remember everything is extremely limited and most likely will not be sold online outside of this campaign so once it closes that will be it unless you see us and we have a few stragglers left to sell at one of our shows!
Hello Nessie Besties, All our pins are here and nessies are close to arriving! We are just waiting on our stickers, and keychains and everything will start shipping out as soon as the nessies arrive! Please make sure that your backerkit accounts are up to date! Double check your shipping addresses, check that your card on file is up to date so we can charge shipping when we are ready! Its going to happen very soon!
Our Nessie series 2 campaign is now open for pre-order if you wanted to grab any of the larger weighted nessies or the two new stress-ball plush that will be prototyped soon!
Series 1 should be shipping to us around mid July if all goes well!
We are waiting on them to finish up the inspections and tagging process, but the production we hear is nearing completion!
The nessies have all passed their safety tests.
Great job guys!
All pins are completed and the final mini pins are on the way to us!
We were just waiting on these and will have all pins in hand. Anyone that only ordered pins we will be shipping these out very soon so make sure your card is up to date on file because shipping will be charging soon!
SERIES 2 had a great launch but has stagnated! We need YOU guys to help share and pledge so we can unlock the rest of the characters we had hoped to reach in series 1! We have already un-locked 2 weighted nessies and 2 new stressball plush!
Weighted Silly Ness is unlocked! Weighted Luck Ness, Colorfulness stressball and Soft ness stressball area all unlocked! Dreamy Ness needs only around 1200 more to be unlocked! And then we are working towards Dark Ness weighted plush!
We are sending this update to not just our Nessie followers but ALL of our followers including our Dream Keep Supporters!
First a small update about us and let everyone know what is going on a bit behind the scenes:
We have shared this before, but in case you haven’t seen prior explanations or updates: Due all the debt we accrued from our first campaign due to tariffs and other things we could not have planned, or predicted, we have to create new campaigns with cheaper creations, and use any profits to go back into completing and finishing up our original productions and operating costs.
We are still trying to raise enough to pay off the rest for our rep in europe so that we are considered compliant and allowed to sell there. (We are very close but this cost us a lot) That along with rising shipping rates, filing a patent, and needing to trademark our creations in multiple countries to stop larger companies with more funds from copying us its been a lot of expense. So, we did Pintopia which got us closer to completing the original companions but we still have other expenses and also want to keep bringing plush to those that want to collect our creations! So we are doing a “Part 2” of our lock stress monsters from winter!
With each creation and campaign we have gotten closer to the end of the tunnel, plus the opportunity to create new things and keep our customers engaged. We have gotten 5 stars across the board and are still working to get everything out to everyone as soon as possible!
We have learned so much with our very first campaign and with each we improve and get quicker and more streamlined for fulfillment. It is still just me and my husband running everything but we hope to grow our team in the near future as funds allow!
Our Lock Stress Monsters series 2 is launching in less than a week!!! Make sure to follow our prelaunch here before june 1st so you get our freebies!

We will also soon be prototyping “Dark Ness” as a larger weighted nessie too!
New Character Stretch Goals:
Now on to SERIES 1 UPDATES:
LOCK STRESS Series 1 Production Update:
All but the mini chocness pin are complete and have just arrived to us today! (The mini chocness pin had some misunderstandings so we will be getting that in a couple weeks.
We are told the Stress-ball plush are near complete! So they should begin shipping to us by mid june.
Which means we may not have them before Anthrocon as we had hoped :( but we will be shipping them as soon as we can once they are in hand!
Lock Stress series 1 Shipping Updates:
We will begin locking orders very soon and charging for shipping as soon as the products are in transit, so please make sure all your payments, and cards are up to date!
Also make sure that you track your packages, and stay on top of any import fees, vat tax etc. We are NOT responsible for this, nor are we responsible for returned packages.
If they get returned to us for customer negligence YOU will have to pay to have it shipped again once we are through all the other orders.
Make sure your payments are all good, and if you’ve had a declined card you fix it ASAP!
Since we have another campaign coming soon we will be locking up and finishing this campaign quicker that prior ones. Once we have everything in hand and CAN we will begin charging for shipping, so we can get things out as fast as possible. If you have not yet paid for your initial items or filled out your surveys (Not including people doing pay over time and still making payments) we will start cancelling the orders that haven’t gone through. If you don’t pay your shipping, or don’t check your emails we will consider it a donation if its not rectified by the time we near the end of our shipments. We are not waiting around this time, so if you want one of these and your payments have been declined make sure you fix it ASAP! Series 1 is EXTREMELY limited and we will have very few if any for any future shows and they most likely will not go online at ALL!
Anyways, Thank you all for your continued support, patience and belief in this passion project of me and my husband as we seek to create a safe haven and escape from the scary things happening in the world. We hope to make the world a more comforting place and can only do that with your help! So again, thank you so much!
As stated above for Pintopia “Lock Stress Monsters” everything is currently in production! We will update once we get anything in hand.
‼️Please remember that shipping will be a separate charge closer to fulfillment and make sure to keep your cards updated!
‼️If you don’t pay shipping by the time we are ready and done with the other orders we will consider your pledge a donation.
We are going ot be trying to move through this campaign much quicker than our others and get things done and out as soon as we have them! So make sure to be keeping up with our updates!
Don’t forget to follow our “PART 2” campaign for our weighted AND stress-ball lock-stress monsters launching June 1st! If we get 500 more follows everyone will get TWO free stickers for every plush pledge tier!
We will have photos of the other prototypes for the new campaign very soon!
The Weighted Nessies are 4lbs weighted but maintain their squishy soft feel so they don’t feel like a rock! They are still floppy and posable but with the heavy weight! Also they are 27” long! Don’t miss out on the best weighted and expressive plush on the market!
Comfort Kingdom has a new in person shop on weekends at “Trader’s World” in Monroe Ohio! Every Saturday and Sunday 10AM to 5PM!
(except when we have other trade show obligations)
Stop in for our original products and art as well as vintage collector toys!
Aside from those already pre-arranged we will also only be offering any local pickups for future campaigns from this location!
Our store is still evolving and will be even more but this is how much we got done with just 11 hours before opening. As you can see the original store had an ugly tile broken floor and it was originally a barber shop and we have transformed it. If our store does well enough we plan to paint the walls too.
I’ll be making the dragon updates on the original kickstarter updates page, so stay tuned! Lots more to come and thank you for all your patience with us as we still navigate this political climate and all the hardships that have befallen our small startup.
