Hi again everyone
Popping in to give you some updates! - The add-on pouches for the Poncho Plushies have arrived, and they look very cute. The plushies fit in them very snuggly but they do fit and have a very cute effect with the plush inside. Here are a couple pics from my IG stories of the pouch in action

I personally really like all the various ways you can combine the pouch, lanyard, keyrings and plushies together. I hope you'll have fun with them!

Now for a more serious part of the update, on July 8 a new law regarding toy imports was enacted. Any toys aimed at children imported into the US need to have safety testing documentation otherwise they face fines and destruction. Collectable toys and items aimed at adults are not beholden to this law however it is up to the opinion of the customs agents inspecting your packages if they think it's for kids or adults

Some people who have attempted to buy anime figures from Japan have reported their figures being destroyed at customs, and others are being asked to provide safety testing data. So it sounds like anything perceived as "for children" is at risk. 

I will be talking to my manu this week about options for dealing with this, and I will do my utmost to try and get these plushies imported safely. However there is a risk they might be destroyed by customs and in that case I will of course issue refunds to everyone. I'll keep you posted on how everything goes but I'm crossing my fingers for it all to go okay ToT
