(Not into the boring stuff? Scroll down to Pet Vote for the fun stuff! Also follow RED HELL!) After a lot of juggling factories, tweaking vectors, and correcting samples, all items are currently in production! This means we're on track for products to hopefully arrive by November, and sent out by December as long as there are no delays. It's all in the factory's hands now, so I'll give you an update if they have any delays, but the factories I use are pretty reliable so here's hoping there are none.
Add-ons and Shipping Charged Around September 14th
While the final date for charges is still up to be determined, I will be locking down and charging orders around the 14th of this month. Currently we are on track for my estimates on shipping still being accurate. Please see the below for what to expect.
United States: $5
Canada: $13
UK: $20
EU: $20
Other International: $20
Arise and cekeki plush orders will add +$5 to shipping to cover the size.
The pony plush will add +5 to +$10 to shipping for all orders to cover the size. I will have the final number for this around the 14th after I test out calculations.
For International Backers: VAT tax is not collected by the survey, so you are responsible for paying your country's import tax, if any. Tariff costs will be mitigated where possible. Should any additional shipping costs be necessary, all backers will be informed in future campaign updates.
Pre-Order Store Information
The pre-order store will stay open until delivery in case any of your friends wants to pick up any items before their prices raise. Once the pre-order store closes and all items are delivered fully the items will be listed on etsy at a higher price, with the pins being raised by $2-3 and the pony plushies by $5-$10 so pick them up at a discount while you have the chance! I brought quite a bit of extras of all the pins, so I do not see any worries on that end, but I will remove pin options from the pre-order store if they get close to my threshold for A-Grade expectations.
And now for something more exciting. Help me out with picking a new "pet" backers can pick up. For my upcoming RED HELL project (Follow it if you haven't already!) we'll be hosting the little "grab a pet" event just like last time. Don't worry, you'll have a choice between the new species, or another pony during the project itself. I would never prevent the masses from getting a lovely pony. Anyway, let's see our contestants for this battle!
"Playing with your fears."
Phobe: The False Dragon
Phobes are a rare type of false dragon. They are notable for being fairly tame and attentive towards their owners. While they are mischievous they rarely cause any major harm. The species is so beloved and highly valued because when exposed to phobias it will change its hide patterns and fight off elements of said phobia.
"It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves."
Kafkil: The Absurd Lawyer
Tired of legal battles stalling for so long you literally know that the opposing side is trying to wait till you die? Summon a kafkil! Kafkils are created when a beloved non-rabbit animal, or object is sacrificed to the gods. These betrayed beings will loyally follow their owners, defeating all of their enemies before taking revenge on their caretaker. The best way to stop the stalking of a kafkil is to engage in a bureaucratic or legal process. Placing legal documents around one's residence, or directly upon their bodies will ward them off for up to a month, before they return, seeking updated paperwork.
"Do not be scared of her. Spiders do not even fathom your existence, I promise."
Karuhongsa: The Fear Killer
The karuhongsa is apart of the false dragon family. Flocks slowly grow around the locations of powerful dragons. The soothing presence of the karuhongsa causes those around them to seek to understand their fears, especially those around the dragon. As locals stop fearing the beast it slowly withers away into nothing, its anomalous energy fed upon by the growing flocks of karuhongsa.
"It says your name in his voice......You can't bare to throw it away"
Mirrorer: The Living Memory
Mirrorers are anomalous dolls that have come to life after seeing a mirror for the first time. They are lovable, if mischievous creatures that take joy of jumping into mirrors and becoming intangible. The longer they stick around an owner, the more they mimic their actions, behaviors, and voice. Even after the owner has died the mirrorer will continue its mimicking for ages, often becoming a metaphorical "ghost" of its owner for years to come.
