Today we would like to touch base and tell you what is going on in production land!
A lot has happened since we last reached out. But first, a big thank you for your patience. It’s been over a month since our last communication and while we had a July Update ready, other opportunities swept us away. Namely San Diego Comic Con busting down the door last second, though was really fun, has completely thrown out our timelines on pretty much everything. So a big thank you is in order for your patience. We’re so grateful for your support and hopefully today’s update helps nail home all the expected progress!
Let’s get into it!
Mountains of Plush Dragons!
Last time we talked about these guys, they were in production. We’re happy to say production is completed! We had these lil chonkers tested for ages 3+ and they crushed all the tests! Such superstars!
Don’t these photos make you want to just jump in?
And guess what? They are on a boat sailing directly over to us! Navigating import changes was tricky, but everything is filed and we can expect them to be entering the US and making their way to us towards the later part of August.
Pin Production
All pins are in production and most of the way through! No mean feat. There are over 50+ design files submitted. This meant a lot of back and forth with the manufacturer to get these dragons absolutely perfect.
Let’s check out some of the production photos!
Many are already finished and getting ready to ship. We also expect them to all be on their way and to us in two batches. One by the end of August, and the remaining group within September.
Check out these finished pins!
Coin Production
All of the coins are finished! There was some trouble with the FrostFire coins as the two finishes made this difficult to get right. That said, we should be receiving the last batch also at the end of August.
Fulfillment and Shipping
Fulfillment!
We are on track to be ahead of the December fulfillment date by quite a margin. Right now we expect to begin fulfillment in October. There are only two of us and an unstoppable hoard of dragons to send flying. Please be patient with us as we navigate this and three massive upcoming conventions this fall (SacAnime Summer, FanX, and NYCC). C:
Shipping!
Earlier on in the year we had no idea what shipping might be closer to fulfillment and left the shipping charges for closer to the actual shipping date. We’re doing our best to keep on top of new regulations on small business goods imports from outside the USA. We’ll make sure to go into more detail as we come closer to shipping these dragons out.
Note: While convention pickup might be possible, this is new territory for us. We cannot guarantee that we can make it happen and definitely not for everyone. If this is something you are interested in please reach out to [email protected] so that we can work out the details.
Last Second Order Addons!
We will be sharing more pictures as we receive everything. Prices will be going up after fulfillment. If there are addons you missed and would like to have added to your order, please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll see if we can make that happen. Unfortunately due to limited counts, we cannot change existing items on orders.
Whew! That’s all we have for now. Thank you all so much for your support and being so wonderful. We cannot wait to send these dragons out to all of you!
We hope the week is full of chill vibes and contentment. Take care!
