Hi everyone! It's been a while since the last update so I wanted to touch base with you guys. Both the figures and plushies are well along the way for production now. From what my manus shared with me, there are about 50 more figures that need to be completed for the full production run. And for the plushies, they are mostly done and just need hand sewing done to secure some elements. They should both be finished and shipping to me near the end of the month/early next month. Here are some photos of the production:

As you can see with the figure, the colors have been updated to their correct Pantones and the cheek fluffs in particular have been painted the off-white color to match Haruki's correct reference look! I still need to finish the packaging design for the figure boxes. I'll be doing that throughout the next couple days. Additionally, I will be contacting my product tag and sticker manufacturers for production to be completed throughout August so their arrival coincides with the arrival of the plushies and figures, likely early in September for the scheduled fulfillment throughout the second half of September.

Since most everybody is paid up on their pledges, shipping and add-ons at this point. I decided I wanted to open the pre-order store for Haruki for anybody who missed out on the initial funding period or would still like to add something. Anybody who still had a remaining balance or has yet to complete the survey with their shipping address has been emailed individually earlier today. If you, a friend or family member might be interested in some Haruki goods, please feel free to refer to the pre-order shop now available here:

I am also setting up the campaign page for my next project, Chocoroll the Sharcake! He is a hammerhead shark with a chocolate cake swiss roll theme. He is a new design on his own and will be featured for backers along with a restock of a friend, Flapjack the Sea Pancake! Flapjack has been a very popular design that I am almost sold out of and I am hoping to secure enough funding to produce both a restock of him and new production for Chocoroll in one go with exclusive Backerkit pledge prices! The pre-launch page is available now for anyone who'd like to give it a follow:

I am still planning out additional goodies for the campaign now, but if you are interested, please consider giving the teaser page a follow! All pre-campaign followers who pledge will receive a set of holographic stickers featuring Chocoroll and Flapjack~ The campaign is planned to launch near the end of the year after backer rewards for Haruki have been fulfilled.

I'm super excited to receive the Haruki campaign rewards soon for fulfillment and hope you all are excited as well. Thanks for reading, I'll be looking forward to talking to you all again soon :)

Warm Regards,
Danielle
