I just received the final prototype pictures last night and with that the last few stragglers are finally finished. I'm missing a front-view of Grimshroud but will update soon once these guys reach me and I can get some professional photos.
The bug friends and juice pouch are all finished up too! Beetle friend took the longest and was quite the struggle, but ultimately I think they turned out awesome.
The preorder store has been updated with all the photos here, and as soon as they reach me I'll get some more color accurate photos in front of a nice, white backdrop to match everyone else.
Now that prototyping is finished, I can comfortable set a closure date for the preorder store, hooray!
The preorder store will close on April 30th.
That means you have until then to make any final changes to your item selection, because cards will be charged on or around the 30th. Please note that once your order is locked in and paid for I'm afraid I can't offer refunds outside of extreme circumstances (and of course in the event of a damaged snughoul once they ship).
After the 30th we will be going directly into production! I'll be gathering a final count for each design, adding a few hundred extra to each one, and sending that information to my manufacturer to get the ball rolling. The lead time on this kind of thing is usually about 30-45 days, but I suspect it might take a bit longer in our case with a preliminary count of 15000 plushies already!!
Either way I promise to keep you folks informed every step of the way 💖
To summarize:
Preorder store closes on April 30th. Cards will also be charged on or around this date if you have an outstanding balance.
All surveys and orders will also lock after the 30th. Once locked you will no longer be able to add, edit or remove items so if you need any help with this please reach out to me asap.
I cannot offer refunds after the 30th. Once I send the final plush count to my manufacturer, I'm locked in to purchase that amount and can no longer offer refunds.
You WILL still be able to edit your address. Addresses will not lock until about two weeks before plushies ship, after an email prompting you to make sure its up-to-date.
