With Lunar New Year over, production is back in swing with the majority of the Weighted Wonders designs, including the new and improved....GOLD DRAGON!!!
🥁🥁🥁🥁 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 🥁🥁🥁🥁 🥁🥁🥁🥁
Based on feedback, the main body got changed to a gold minky fur that I think makes the filigree really stand out with it's dark gold thread! :D
I LOVE how they came out and am very excited for you all to see 'em in their full money money money gold glory :D
~~~~~~~ Production has begun on the Weighted Wonders and while we are still waiting for my factory for the Wittles and Warmables to get back into work mode, the order for all the Wittle color prototypes was already submitted in January and I was given word that they are being worked on first thing so that we can get them into production ASAP
In the mean time, have some fresh off the production line dragons, as well as some wings in buckets waiting for their dragon; ~~~~~~~~~
This weekend, I will be at Katsucon 2025 with a limited supply of Weighted Wildlife and with the prototypes of the dragons (including the Wittle), or as many as I can pack, on display for current backers and those who might wish to preorder! :D
Feel free to stop by to check out the dragons and say hello if you're there!
---- SMALL NOTE: Leah has taken over all responses both in e-mails and in comments.
I will communicate through Updates, still, but for my own brain's sake, I've had to hand over all comments on most platforms (Facebook, Instagram, e-mail, BackerKit, etc) to Leah. DMs have been
Please do not try to circumnavigate this to get to me by (somehow) finding my Telegram or phone number (?? how??), as that's already happened and it's awkward and intrusive when neither of those things are made readily available to the public. I'm one guy and am being as transparent and quick to communicate with updates as soon as I have them. So far it's relatively smooth sailings insofar as production schedules go, so no worries there :) A NOTE ON NEW TARIFFS I know there has been much hubbub regarding the USA's potential new policies regarding international trade.
I am here to say that, while there has been no official implementation of tariffs on stuffed animals/dolls/etc that has been communicated to me by anyone in the know, we plan on swallowing any potential new duties/tariffs/taxes for the purposes of this campaign and will likely be able to swallow them going forward into retail sales for this year if they are to happen at all.
I try my best to keep my offerings affordable, while being fair to my own bottom line in running the business, so whenever a rate hike happens on any front (cost of production, cost of warehousing, cost of taxes, cost of packaging, etc), if it's possible, I try not to pass those costs onto my customers as I believe that should only happen when it truly cannot be borne any longer and only then.

That's it for this Update, but be on the look out for more as factories ramped back up to normal production levels and the ball keeps rolling!!
