Production Progress & BackerKit
over 1 year ago – Sun, Oct 13, 2024 at 12:28:47 PM

Hello Backers,

Thank you first for your patience. We have been hard at work in the background, organising and preparing various aspects of this project.

Here are some key updates:

Funding Success: The Kickstarter campaign successfully secured funds from almost every backer, and after a few weeks, the funds were transferred to us. This has enabled us to expand upon what we had already started and get things in motion.

Production Progress: We have officially begun the production of the resin kits and are diligently working on the various design elements that need to be finalised.

Pledge Manager & Late Backers: We are making good progress setting up the pledge manager and the late backer/pre-order store. The late backer store will be opening very soon, allowing those who missed the Kickstarter to still purchase the sets. Please note: Late backer pledges will be delivered sometime after all Kickstarter backers have received their rewards.

Pledge Confirmation: Following the opening of the late backer store, we will send out invitations to backers of the Kickstarter to confirm items, delivery addresses, and other details. Please wait for this direct invitation and instructions before attempting to complete your pledge information.

We will provide further updates on all of the above shortly, and we are excited to share our progress over the coming months, including the sets and the various unlocked stretch goals and add-ons that you made possible through this campaign.

Thank you once again for your support and patience throughout the past couple of months. We look forward to sharing more updates with you all soon.

Best regards,
Carlos

We did it! Thank You! What's Next...

Wow! We did it!

We can't thank you enough for your support and for all the sharing that made this project a reality. Your enthusiasm and commitment have truly driven us to this incredible milestone.

Now, as we transition from funding to production, we wanted to let you know what happens next...

Kickstarter Deposits: In approximately 2-3 weeks, we will receive the funds from Kickstarter. This is an essential step that will allow us to move forward with production.

Pledge Manager Launch: We will be launching the pledge manager shortly, where backers can confirm shipping details and add any extras you might have missed during the campaign. This will also open up options for late backers to join in on some products. Each of you will receive a unique email with your pledge selection and corresponding value assigned in the pledge manager, so please keep an eye on your inbox and wait for this email before completing your pledge.

Production & Design: We will begin producing the resin sets and finalise the designs for all printed materials. We're thrilled to bring these concepts to life!

Rest assured, we will keep you updated throughout this process, right up to the shipping of pledges and beyond. If you have any questions at this stage, please feel free to reach out, and we will do our best to answer them as soon as we can.

For now, we’ll take a short break to recharge, and then we’ll dive back into getting the next phase of this project underway.

Thank you once again for your incredible support. We couldn't have done this without you!

With immense gratitude,

Carlos

Your shares and posts have propelled this campaign further than we could have imagined - thank you for being such integral parts of this journey!

Here's what is in store if we hit £55k - These will either be added free or available as add-ons depending which pledge level you have selected.

• Bookmarks are free to all pledges of Pumpkins and above.

If you haven’t had the chance to share the campaign or have been waiting for the right moment, now is the time! These models are limited in number, and we want as many people as possible to seize the opportunity to own one.

We are eager to start production on these fantastic sets and can’t wait for you to receive your rewards for supporting us. Thank you once more for being such a crucial part of this journey.

Hey Everyone!

First off, a huge thank you for your incredible support, and a warm welcome to the new backers who have joined us since our last update!

We are thrilled to announce that we've unlocked another Stretch Goal! This is such exciting news! 

Thanks to your support, every backer at the Pumpkins pledge level and above will receive a copy of "The Making of" A6 Booklet. This delightful booklet is packed with images showcasing the evolution from concept to sculpt for each of the models. We can’t wait for you to dive into it once your rewards arrive!

Now for more exciting news - another Double Unlock! For all backers at the Pumpkins level and above, you'll receive 2 exclusive bookmarks. Plus, for those who choose to add them on or have pledged at the Collection level, we have a set of Six Postcards (A6 size) available. You can send your favorite Goblins to friends and family (or keep them for yourself!). These postcards can be added to your pledge for just £4 if we reach our next stretch goal of £55k.
 

We can't thank you enough for your support. The countdown is on; we're in the final days of our Kickstarter! If you know anyone who might be interested, please share the campaign with them. And as always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Next Stretch Goal and New Add-On!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Jul 19, 2024 at 11:27:45 AM

Hello everyone,

We're just over one week into our campaign. Thank you all so much for helping us get this far.

Firstly, we have a new stretch goal listed, which will unlock if we are fortunate to hit £45,000. We're excited for this one, as it's something we hope everyone will really enjoy seeing - “the making of” - A twelve page A6 booklet - A visual feast of the stages from concept to sculpt for each model.

Secondly, we've heard the requests, and have created a new add-on. This will be limited in quantity and only available as an individual figure on this Kickstarter (and pledge manager).

Please note: This add-on is for the resin figure only. No extra contents included.

Please keep sharing this campaign and thank you once again for all your support!

Kind regards, 
Carlos,
