This has been really rough why we haven't had much updates,
The Updated plush quote for Jackalope, Jersey Devil & Glorps (fixed and half price)... $2.5k MIN
I've already been several thousand dollars and loans for these projects, and I found that it would be easier to REFUND for those who got JACKALOPE or JERSEY DEVIL
GLORPS WILL BE MADE
The company i worked with used to do any quantity, but now due to rising costs have changed that and raised other aspects too during this whole pre-post campaign. This has been frustrating and behind the scenes hasn't been much better.
We usually do well at cons where that cost would be a chunk, but we would recover it at the next event. But this year its been further from our usual truth. Shows have done bad after bad after worse, but then the good shows would take the hit from the bad ones leaving us with nothing or negatives in return. We have 4 active loans due to these plush campaigns. Due to Sickness I personally had to miss 2 events with guarantee of doing well due to its very low costs and its a niche convention where we have made consistently enough to deem it worth it and over the black.
With these events not going well, the money for shipping had to be put into the production items. That means fulfillment has been so slow that we dont have enough to make batch shippings unless Etsy/Shop sales do well enough.
JellyPaws is on track (enamel pins mini) but their costs risen as well.
Whats going to happen:

Whats going to happen:
- J & JD PLUSH orders will be refunded
- Glorps payment we will try to do as humanely possible to get them into production
- Shipment batches will be slow on our end but we want to complete before 2026 ( of on hand stock)
A lot of the communication to our factory has been weeks to months for an response and its been hard to endure for this situation. I know we got things settled out for future orders NOW but with them not telling me changes to policies, not shipping samples, and multitude of other issues (color picking for one) Its a really HARD learning experience. We did plush with them before and it was practically perfect and the cost was really fair and in-between productions so I thought this would be worth it.. I'm not sure if I'll continue with this production partner or return possibly to those who made Baja V1 & Token (Gator) and just communicate from there.
This will be cross-posted as it affects both campaigns, I need to get stickers on my end and I'll have enough to do it right now.
