Success! What next?
Hey all!
Thank you SO MUCH for your support on this project. I was concerned from the start that gryphons would be a bit too niche to raise much funding, but I'm...
Pins, stickers, keychains, and tapestries are here so I am starting with orders that just have those items. I'll have some orders out as early as Monday.
Plush should get to me some time next week, so shipping for everything else will begin shortly afterwards.
I also wanted to share the art I did for the thank you card that everyone will be getting with their order! I had considered commissioning someone to do gryphon art for me, but then felt inspired to try it myself, and I'm pretty pleased with the result!
Pins are shipping to me now, they should be here in the next 2 weeks. I wanted to give you all a chance to see manufacturer photos before I lock orders, so here are the photos I got!
I am also slightly moving up the timeline since I will have these in hand sooner than expected. The card charge date remains the same! I've just moved up the lock address & shipping dates so that I can get started on shipping next weekend. All orders that do not contain a plush will go out first, since that will be last to arrive.
24Jan2025 - Lock Orders - You can change your order up to this date! 01Feb2025 - Charge Cards for add-ons & shipping + Lock addresses + Begin shipping! - This is also the deadline for completing your survey, if you have not completed it by Feb you will be dropped from the project. I am reaching out individually to those who have failed payments. Beginning of Feb - Begin Shipping - starting with orders that do not contain plush
Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Wanted to keep you all updated on the progress. Now is the boring part - waiting for everything to get to me! I'll post another update when I get pin and keychain manufacturing photos, but it may be quiet for a while as we wait.
Plush and tapestry production is complete, stickers pins and keychains are in progress. Plush and tapestries will ship to me via sea freight. This takes about a week to get on the boat, about 30 days travel, and about another week to get from the port to my house. So I should actually have them a bit earlier than mid-February if all goes smoothly.

Samson has passed all of his safety testing and have been labeled for ages 3+! Plush testing is a bit costly (was $600!) but is required for toys sold in the US and EU. This ensures that the product doesn't contain any harmful materials and that it won't fall apart when handled.
he has been through it.
Reminder of timeline: 17Jan2025 - Lock Orders - You can change your order up to this date! I will share pin/keychain photos as I get them in case that influences your decision 01Feb2025 - Charge Cards for add-ons & shipping - This is also the deadline for completing your survey, if you have not completed it by Feb you will be dropped from the project. 15Feb2025 - Lock Addresses Late Feb - Begin Shipping
I got enough responses in to place the orders for everything. I expect to receive the keychains, pins, plush, and tapestries by mid-February.
And just a heads up in case you are concerned with finances this time of year, I am not charging cards for shipping/add-ons until 01FEB2025. Here is my full timeline:

If you have any questions or issues regarding your pledge or survey that you cannot find in BackerKit FAQ, email me directly at [email protected] and I will get back to you as soon as I am able.
Wishing you a peaceful & happy season :) Talk to you in the new year! Rachel
*14Dec UPDATE* - small hiccup with the smoke test surveys that was making people choose add-ons twice. I think it is corrected now. will wait another day for other backers to complete survey and see if it's fixed :)
Please fix your payment method if your campaign pledge charge has errored - there are over 30 of you with failed/errored pledges.
The "smoke test" for the surveys will go out today. This sends surveys to a random 5% of backers. If you are one of the lucky few, please let me know if there are any issues! Once this is successful, I will route the survey to everyone.
I know we are all busy this time of year, but please fill it out as soon as you can! The quicker I can get an idea of numbers, the quicker I can place all of the orders and get your stuff to you.
I'll be back to bug stragglers in a few days, but for now... MERRY GRYPHMAS!
