Project Update: Production & Timeline Update
Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for your continued patience! As of right now, production has taken longer than expected so unfortunately the campaign timeline has shifted. Based on the original campaign timeline, rewards were supposed to have already arrived and I had planned to begin shipping them this month. However, I didn't anticipate the setback with my plushie manufacturer (from the previous update) and or how much of an impact it would have on the campaign timeline at the time.
As it stands right now, the new estimated delivery date is in October.
I am incredibly sorry for this delay. I understand it's frustrating and disappointing to see the timeline change, especially after you've already been so patient following the plushie sample mishap I shared in the previous update. My priority now is to set realistic expectations with the updated timeline and to make sure what arrives to you is worth the extra wait.
Here's a status update on everything:

Here's a status update on everything:
- ✅ Surveys
These have gone out so thank you to everyone who has already filled them out. Surveys will remain open for now so you're welcome to update your reward selections at any time. I won't lock them until everything is finalized and on its way to me. - 🚧 Enamel Pins
Still in production. These were originally set to produce and ship alongside the plushies but now that the plushies are delayed, I'll have them shipped to me first as soon as they're done. - 🚧 Plushies
Still in production. I've been in near daily contact with my manufacturer the past few months to ensure we're both on the same page to prevent another setback. Since the last update, we've made several improvements to both plushies. I've adjusted the overall shape and head:body proportions so they look more balanced. Tsuki's wings have also been redesigned with a cleaner shape, embroidered structure (instead of simple felt cutouts), and updated sizing that's more proportionate to his body. Here's a recent photo from the manufacturer:Improved head shape, body size & proportions, and wing shape is cleaner with embroidered structure. - ✅ Add-ons (keychains, deskmats, stickers, and sticker sheets)
These have all arrived and are in stock! Everything aside from the plushies and pins is already here and ready to go.
I'll continue to share progress and photos as things move along with more frequent updates as we get closer to delivery. If anyone has any concerns about this, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact me by commenting on this update, via instagram, or by sending an email.
Next steps:
Next steps:
- I'll continue to share pin and plushie photos as soon as I receive them
- Surveys will remain open and I'll share another update before locking addresses and orders
As for duties and shipping: customs policies are constantly changing and I am keeping a close eye on them, especially between US & Canada, but regardless of what happens, I will be absorbing any additional duties or charges and will not be passing those costs on to you. Whatever I quoted during the campaign is the shipping price that will be charged.
While I have experience producing enamel pins and other merchandise, this is actually my first time producing plushies and it's definitely been a bigger learning experience than I expected. I really appreciate you sticking with me through all of this, thank you so much for your continued patience and support.
Cheers,
Victoria
