We finally received some progress with new sample photos! Let's take a look!
Plush
Star Fawn 🟠🟠🟠
Star Fawn is finally making some real progress! The materials finally look as they should and she is looking quite cute! Now we wait to see her in person to make sure there are no further changes before approving production.
Lavender Goaticorn 🟠🟠🟠
This baby has finally finished production! We have paid her shipping balance and she is now being prepped for shipping. We should receive these in end of July/August!
Void Dragon 🟠🟠🟠
Still waiting to see his sample before we approve production. I have a sinking suspicion that perhaps his sample was mailed via sea again (even though I requested airmail). Hoping to have news in the next month about him.

Pins
Ashen Goaticorn 🟠🟠🟠 Sea Foam Capricorn 🟠🟠🟠
Both of these pins are finally ready for production! These pins underwent some changes due to manufacturing constraints (smaller size, removal of transparent enamel, but hopefully everyone looking forward to them will not mind the small changes. The pin factory is now working on the full order.
The bonus mini pins are also working their way through production. You might notice fish pin is missing; anodized metal pins usually don't get preproduction samples due to the manufacturing process. We won't see photos of those until they are complete. For now, bask in the cuteness that is mini loaf dragon and petite black goaticorn!
These are nice and sparkly! We'll be working on packing them into sets in preparation of shipping. As a reminder, everyone gets the three bottom stickers free with their pledges; Dragon's Realm backers will also get the top sticker free with their pledges. If you want additional stickers, you can purchase extra full sets through the add ons in the preorder store.
Surveys went out last week! Don't forget to check your inbox and get them filled out. As a reminder, we will not be locking surveys until we receive all of the campaign items. You can fill out your survey and then go back and adjust it to your heart's content. You have until December 31, 2026 to complete your survey.
For international backers, you can go through the survey, put in items, even add your payment info, and you won't be charged. This is a great way to estimate shipping, if you are unsure if you want an extra item or not. All charges for add ons and shipping won't be made to credit cards until we are ready for shipping. We will be warning everyone before charges and shipping happen. Everyone's surveys are basically waiting on minipins to arrive at this point, and I expect it will be another month before those even finish production.
Once mini pins have shipped, we will make an announcement. If you backed for items that are complete and instock (any prancing goaticorn pins, rain dragon, black goaticorn and caribou goaticorn), we will lock your order and charge for shipping. This way we can expedite getting orders out. If you ordered an item that's still in progress (mainly Void and Star Fawn), you have plenty of time to make adjustments, since we won't be dealing with those orders right away.
Finally, if you want to pick up an in stock item in person, bring your backer name, email, and order number to us at a convention! We will mail extras to you later, but will gladly let you pick up plush/pins now, if available.
Our next event is Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH. We look forward to seeing everyone in the coming week!
