Project Update: Hey everyone, here's how the last steps are going to go (loosely)
Hi, sorry for the silence, which is why this update will also be going out to MGR backers!!
I'm still physically recovering from Katsucon. Unfortunately, the event itself did not go well for seemingly most sellers, including us - attendance was way down and many tables were added to the alley so the already stretched-thin economic situation was even rougher. I always like being in the area but unfortunately good vibes aren't enough to make a trip worth it for us, and the combined 28hrs on the train took a very serious physical toll.
I also had a brain MRI this week with concerning notes on it but of course the physician and radiologist both said my brain is normal despite noted abnormalities ... so I'm trying to follow up on that and not really getting anywhere yet as it's now the weekend. Fun! 🤡
Anyway, here are the next steps I have planned and hopefully can get most of the way finished before the end of the month:

Anyway, here are the next steps I have planned and hopefully can get most of the way finished before the end of the month:
- More MGR1 orders to go out that can (considering remakes as still pending for that campaign), and MGR2 orders that are merged with MGR1 that can go out. Any Holiday Market orders combined with those, too. Any excess shipping charged will be refunded after labels are printed
- Any Chocolat Chaud and Cryptic Compendium orders that are from backers who also backed MGR are going to be combined too and the shipping cost situation there will be figured out as soon as possible, as it's complicated quite a bit since Chocolat Chaud had to pay hundreds of USD to get the box of them to me to begin with. (Including nearly $300 in tariffs once they actually reached me...)
- I can't send out gacha spins for MGR2 or individual Harpy orders yet... I wasn't shown what they looked like printed before they were shipped. Kuchisake-Onna looks great:
- ...but as a mixed black-and-white woman I'm really irritated by how Harpy looks:
- Most prints are not just lighter than the pantone color I provided but also very grey. This makes her look really ashy which is unacceptable to me. I may be white-passing but I've still dealt with being called ashy in the past and the last thing I want to do is send out a design that looks so insensitive to darker skintones. 😡 I'd rather eat my own foot. When they return from holiday I'm going to beg for a remake of her. I have some things I'll be asking to pay for in the same email so I hope they agree.
- Remake Angel is also here and looks great! So she can begin fulfillment along with the rest who were already done. The only obstacle to fulfillment for MGR2 is Harpy, but that affects gacha spins too.
- The remade Geode Pets also arrived and look FAR better...mostly... so those will finally have their survey sent out soon and he'll make an update about all of that. He won't be charging shipping for people who can still combine with my orders, since my surveys went out first. It'll take a bit of figuring out now that there's so many different campaigns being combined for some...which I'm so sorry for.
From MGR1 the status is the same as last time, I'm still waiting on the remakes of Elfling, Baphomet, and the additional Ghouls they didn't originally send me...
Thank you all for your patience!!
