Hello Trusty Backers,
I spoke with my manufacturer last night and they have had to order additional molds to be able to make all of the RPG Squeezes. This along with a little back & forth getting some of the details just how I want them has pushed the completion date back. They estimate that they will now be done with everything on November 30th. As great as that sounds, they still have to travel on a boat to me and to Ireland for packing up and shipping out to you. Right now, it looks like the earliest I will probably get them is mid-January at which point I will begin shipping to you.
I know a lot of you were planning on using these as holiday gifts (I was too). I am very sorry about the delay, but I wanted to share the news with you as soon as I could.
As I have more news I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being a part of this adventure!

Hello Trusty Backers!
Things are moving along in the world of production for the squeezes & packaging. There's nothing new to really share with that yet.
I would, however, like to share another project under the RPG Squeeze line that I was working on while this Kickstarter was happening. Behind the scenes, I have been creating a line of plush toys to go alongside the foam squeezes. These stuffed-toys are much larger and sooooo soft! My daughter loves stuffed animals so much, I felt like I had to bring these to life.
Have a look at the video trailer my friend Ross put together for me:
Where's the Kickstarter? Not to worry, this is not going to be a Kickstarter, it will only be available on my website. The first three plushies are finished and are on their way to me now. These will go on sale to the general public on November 1st, with one new plush released each month.
Because you are awesome and you backed this Series 2 Kickstarter, I wanted to give you early access to the plushies. You will be able to order them starting October 28th!
The November plush is the Ernie the Eyegor (the blue guy). I've only made 1,000 of each and want to make sure you get first dibs! I'll post a link here (only accessible by backers) on that day.
Thanks for supporting my weirdness!

Hello trusty backers!
I received the samples of the Squeezes from the factory and overall I am really happy. They had to go back and remake some of the molds after initial testing, but right now all is looking good.
The only issues I have at the moment are a couple of painting items that they will address before going into full production mode.
Those were my issues, and all will be easily resolved. Check out the video below of my daughter squeezing them and then a few more pics under that. I've gotta say, I really love the keychains!
Now I am just waiting on the packaging samples and we should be set! I will keep you posted on that once they come in.
I hope you are as excited as I am about these!!!
There are still about 100 people who have not filled out their addresses and shipping via Backerkit. Could you be one of the stragglers? Are you uncertain?

Hello Trusty Backers!
Most everything has been quiet on this side as I wait for samples.... luckily I was notified this morning that both samples of the squeezes and the boxes should be arriving to me next week for review.
The manufacturer sent me a couple photos of the box as it was being packed of the squeezes. In this first one, I spy some mimics and Gelatinous cubes (both large and keychain size).
In the second photo I spy, some Eyegors too! From a quick look, I think things are looking pretty good. The pupil on the main Eyegor eye will need to be larger, but that shouldn't slow anything down.
I will report back in once I have them in-hand and give you a full rundown. Hopefully, I will have packaging samples to show at that time too.

On a separate note, if you are into RPGs (which I am guessing you are) we are having an online convention focusing on our campaign setting Revilo. We just launched it and are still adding events and content, which I'm sure will make for a great weekend. Check it out here. We hope to see some of you at the virtual tables :)
Until next time, Adventure Awaits!
