Pins were sent after the post I made and people were okay with the pins how they are, but I am waiting for tracking to update. Maybe they are slower because of customs? I know I delayed it over the eye thing initially, but I was expecting they'd be here by now. Usually tracking updates then they are here in a few days. So far it seems to be in limbo but I asked about it this morning either way.
Still working on paying off the large Frankencorgis, but going to look at my options for maybe a small loan sometime tomorrow after I have had some proper sleep. I did get some sales but not quite enough. I believe they were already sent though (at least that's how it sounded before I left). I'll verify all that and get it paid either way.
I think this project deadline to close was like December or something crazy but it.. hopefully will be ready to be done by July/August depending when the large plush arrive.
I just got back from Licensing Expo this morning at like 5am or something and man it is just not as straightforward as I thought it would be. Definitely worth going but it was a long 2 days since flew there and back in that time lol.
I made a little story on Friday and drafted this little thing up Monday to bring to licensing expo and have some plans for that. It works okay for something thrown together last minute. I do want to make a children's book around this though because I think the concept is pretty fun.

My amazing friend from the Navy is going to try and design a little crochet pattern of it for people to sort of make their own. I doodled this before I left. Either way, it should be a fun little collaboration if we can make it work! I don't crochet or sew, so should be interesting either way to see what sort of things we can do that are interactive and fun for everyone.
I will say this makes me want to revisit the original Buster & Murphy storylines from 2018 & 2019. The plan for this Frankencorgi is for it to be more of a "story within a story" like the story is something the people in the world Buster & Murphy live in would have read/watched or something and thus Buster would have taken his name from this story.
People name their animals after their favorite characters all the time, so that felt like it would have been a much easier way for Buster to have received his specific name. Hopefully that makes sense. :D
