Wowowow! It's crazy how time flies! We're already a month and a half through the year?!
Since our launch six weeks ago, we've fulfilled all MTOs and restocked the slots, as well as poured a decent chunk of our goal inventory quantity for our next drop (TBD. We were hoping for February, but it's so short! March seems more likely).
In addition to restocking our shelves, we've been steadily chipping away at our Grand Opening list.
We started reassessing the masters we have of Everyday Goblin, which are all through various stages of post-processing.
We prototype-printed our very first insertable sculpt and it passed with flying colors! Our Small master has now been printed, and we'll be sculpting shells and getting the rest of the size lineup printed soon. If you're following along on bsky, chances are a sneak peek has already crossed your feed.
Our next Fiendly squish master has been printed and entered our queue of things to be post-processed. Folks who knew us during our earliest time on X may recognize this friend of Percival's...
Both sizes of our collaboration grinder model have been printed. The Small is in post-processing; the Large is still being prepped. And we are chomping at the bit to showcase this thing, because our collaborator and their design are both amazing, and Eri really poured themselves into the sculpt. We aren't letting excitement and impatience win this battle, though–this model and our collaborator both deserve so much more than that ♥
Moving down the list, we think we've expanded our shipping market to all of North America. (Currently untested, but we believe we hit all the switches!) We hope to expand further as we familiarize ourselves with international shipping processes. Thank you for continuing to bear with us. We want to be able to offer the best service possible to all of our customers, and one of the ways we ensure this is by "starting in the shallow end" so to speak, so that we gain the experience and confidence necessary to execute things promptly and professionally.
The weather here has been gross, which really slows down our post-processing. Some of our steps involve spray paint, and as we don't have the means to do it indoors, we must wait for days that are the appropriate temperature range and a low enough humidity. Our continued goal during this spotty weather is to get everything to the "waiting for spray" stage, so that on the next agreeable day, we can knock out a large batch.
