Plush are here!

Hello everyone!

THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN!

I mean

THE PLUSH HAVE ARRIVED AT MY HOUSE!

My house has been taken over!!!

We're going through and sorting things now, inspecting for any defects or just "wonky" looking clowns, and will be shipping out soon!

On another note, the pins are completed! They should be on their way and should get to me soon! Usually it only takes a couple days for their shipments to get to me, but it might already be saturday over there, so  they may not ship until Monday.

As soon as we have the plush sorted through, we'll start shipping orders! So plush only orders will be going out as soon as possible, and we'll move on to orders with pins as soon as they arrive.

I hope you all love your clowns when they arrive!

Sincerely,

Amber

Update! Plush will be shipping out soon! Please update addresses if needed

Hello all!

The plush are completed and are on their way to me!

I'm so excited! My manufacturer sent them out on the 8th and said they would get here in 15-16 days. So they should be arriving in a week or so.

On another note, there was an error with the pin manufacturing. My manufacturer was wonderful in working with me to get it fixed, and are remaking them at a discounted rate, despite it being 100% my fault.  They said they should still be able to get the pins to me by the end of the month though!

This does mean there's a possibility of the plush getting here before the pins do. If this happens I'll start shipping the plush-only orders early, and ship the rest when the pins get here. But regardless, I imagine all orders will be done probably by the first week of July.  It is only the two of us packing and shipping out the orders, so it might take us a little time to get all of them out the door.

If you have moved, please make sure I have your correct address! You can do this by either logging into backerkit and updating it, or by sending me a message. If you're about to move and are worried about your shipment being lost in the mail, let me know and I can hold onto it for a little but and ship it out once you've finished moving.

As a final note, there's still a couple people out there who have not completed your surveys. I am literally unable to ship you your rewards, or even put them aside for you as I do not know your address or which plush you were wanting. Please please check your kickstarter messages as I have sent you your link. You can even let me know your address and which plush you wanted through messages and I'll be able to get those out for you.

Thank you all again, and I hope you all love your new clown friends when you get them!

Progress update!

Hello everyone!

Great news! The plush are in production and the manufacturer says they should be done roughly around the end of the month. Which is earlier than I expected! I do not know how long it will take for them to be shipped to me, but I'm imagine they'll be shipped out earlier than my "late July/early August" prediction.

The pins are in production as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't finished until after the plush. They will likely be shipped to me late June, but unlike the plush, should take little time being shipped to me.  This is because the plush will likely be shipped in bigger boxes via freight, and in the past pins are usually able to be sent in a smaller package via FedEx. So I wouldn't be surprised if they end up arriving at fairly similar times.

As for things that have already arrived: Stickers and postcards are already here!

The photos I took really don't do everything justice, they look much nicer in person! The photos make things look a bit grainy, and make Sympathy look overly dark. But in real life the colors are exactly what I wanted :)

I took a second picture of the Ticket sticker so you can see how the ticket detailing looks once it's off it's backing! It looks even better than I expected, I'm so happy with it!

And lastly, but not leastly, the postcards! They came out sooo nicely! The image side has a nice protective matte coating, and the other side has none so it's easy to write on!

And that's where we are now! If you have any questions, always feel free to send me a message! And if time has passed and you want another update, you can use the 'request update' feature and I'll be happy to put out another update :)

I hope you are all doing well and having a nice day!

Sympathy and Sunny samples are made!!!

Look!! My manufacturer just sent me the photos!!

Babies!
Babies!
Baby butts!

Next step the samples will be sent to me so I can see how they turned out, then we can start production!!

I'm waiting for funds to dispurse from Kickstarter, and once they do I can have the manufacturer start production on Dreamy, even if the other two haven't gotten to me yet.

Surveys being sent today via Backerkit!

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that surveys are being sent out today via BackerKit, so keep an eye out for those.  If you don't get the surveys today, or if you come across any problems, feel free to reach out!  Make sure to check your spam as well.

Also, as a small additional note, Mossy made these very cute illustrations of the clowns! I liked them a lot, so I decided we should make a little postcard set of them.  So those are available as an inexpensive little add-on through BackerKit if you're interested. 

That's all for this update! I hope you're having a wonderful day!
