over 1 year ago – Fri, Jan 06, 2023 at 10:46:37 PM

Hey fellow cryptids— it’s been a minute!

I come bearing good news regarding the status of shipping!

I held onto the orders through Christmas due to the high orders during the holiday season meaning many have a high chance of getting lost, so I’m shipping out today & coming days all of the bigger orders. I apologize for the additional delay but I want you to receive your items safely and in good condition!

if you have any concerns or address changes feel free to let me know via dms!

Thank you all for your patience and remember to stay cryptid!

Shippings 1/4 of the way complete!

Hello my fellow cryptids!

I come bearing great news! I’ve packaged, labelled and shipped all of the smaller orders (stickers & keychain only orders) and will continue on with shipping the jackets this week! 

It’s a lot to do as a one man team but I’m doing my best to deliver for you all, especially with how patient you’ve all been during my downtime with surgery (which I’m now healed from! yay!)

All the keychains are individually packaged in compostable little baggies to minimize plastic waste, and the sticker sheets are sent in paper bags to protect them (as well as being mailed in bubblemailer with their warning signs on them)

All of the rewards containing everything but the varsities have been sent today and are on their merry way to you!

Jackets are the next to go out, they’ll be going in batches daily, so the shipping time will be mostly the same for everyone, give or take a day.

Thanks everyone again for the kindness and love towards my project and work!

And remember,

Stay cryptid!

Blue.

Recovering from Top Surgery! Shipping will commence early November!

A lil update for you all!

I’ve gone through top surgery and am a week post op! I’m remaining near my surgeons and the clinic until the month mark to make sure my scars heal correctly and to re-stitch if I accidentaly open them up.

Good news is I will be able to begin shipping process beginning of november. I’m a one man team so I’ll be shipping in batches, but all will be sent by latest end November.

I’d like to thank you all for your patience with this (my top surgery was not factored into the kickstarter timeline because it wasnt even scheduled when this all began!) wait, and be assured it won’t be much longer! I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you!

Stay cryptid,

Blue!

Jackets delayed — Stickers printed & Keychains arrived!

Howdy fellow cryptids!

I come bearing mixed news.

First off my current manufacturer has stoppped distributing the black/red color variation for varsities, and I am discussing with them about putting in a big order for these, however, they’ve been insufferably slow replying to my querys (unusual for them, as Ive been working with them for over 6 months for custom wear commissions).

In the event they take much longer to resolve this with me, I have another manufacturer on stand-by who offers faux leather black and red varsities, the arms are faux leather and the black is polyester, these are images of the backups:

I am still working on getting the promised (original) product to you all, so bear with me on this delay!

On a second, happier note— Keychains & stickers are here and ready!!

Everything with them seems to be in order and I can’t wait to get these ready for you all!

Remember when you get the keychains they all have a protective layer you can peel off to reveal the shiny underneath 💙

And as a final and third update, for those of you who know and follow me, I’ve been saving up for top surgery and finally have a date for surgery on the 5th of October, so I expect additional (At least shipping) delays on my end. When I first launched this kickstarter this wasnt even a thought I could entertain but thanks to many of my supporters aid, donors and loyal customers I managed to reach my goal and its finally around the corner! I will keep you all updated of course but this should only delay shipping out to you by approximately a month until I am fully recovered (being a one man team is harder than I thought!)

Thanks for reading, and please let me know if you have any further concerns as I’m more than happy to answer any doubts & questions!

Stay Cryptid,

Blue.

Stickers & keychains are being made! Cancelling failed payment orders and sending jackets to manufacturing in 3 days!

Hey fellow cryptids!

Updating you all on the current status of things!

I’ve sent the sticker sheets and the Mothman & Nightcrawlers to be printed, as well as getting your glow in the dark keychains made!

As for the jackets, I will be having them printed and sent my way in the coming weeks in batches.

I ran into the small delay with some backers being unresponsive or payment not having processed, I wanted to give them time to sort it all out. Emails have been sent, messages and reminders, at this point I’m afraid that orders that were not paid or surveys not filled will be cancelled!

By the end of this week everything will be shut and manufacturing will begin!

Thank you all again for the support,

Stay Cryptid!

Blue.
