Hello cryptid cuddlers! 

We're currently in the black hole that is production, which means little "new" information to report except things are trucking along! Safety testing and making sure they have all the proper certs to pass import inspections happens alongside production, but the sheer volume of plushies does mean it will take time to manufacture, quality check, and pack all our critters! 

I did finally receive some pics of our final wristies! The colors are perfect and they look as crisp and vibrant as I hoped. The straps are also a big improvement over the ones used on the S2 wristie which I'm really pleased about. I don't see these breaking easily.  

Backpacks should be ready to share any day now. I'm honestly not sure what's taking so long except perhaps a miscommunication over the priority of certain samples, but I've stressed the importance that they be finished first so I know they'll be ready soon. 

I also forgot to mention that the preorder store IS still open, but item quantities have been capped so they don't exceed the extras I've ordered + my buffer stock that I order for replacements when plushies arrive with damage or go missing in transit. This means if you have yet to hop aboard but would still like to, you have that option! 

There will still be plenty left over for the Tiny Teeth store though, so don't fret if you aren't able to justify the expense at the moment ❤

Finally I don't like to complain too much about personal stuff here, but I do think its worth mentioning that I've been struggling with frequent headaches and migraines recently that have impacted my ability to be as present as I want to be. I've struggled with episodes like this in the past so it's more frustrating than scary and I'm pursuing multiple 'fixes' (like getting prescription glasses to reduce eye strain, staying hydrated, working on my posture, etc) to get back to normal as quickly as possible.  Unfortunately this is kind of the cherry on top of a lousy year in regards to my health and the well being of my family in general, but we've survived worse and things will get better!

Once again thanks for hanging in there. I look forward to sharing some more exciting updates in the near future, like piles of plushies and box towers when they finally leave the factory!
