oh wow!
you guys still continue to surprise me and things are moving so fast, we've already surpassed 50k!

So, this week I'm planning on having a call with the manufacturer to see what things are looking like in terms of timing.
Schedule: Right now, with how our other production run ran with them it was a total time of 6 months, but at this point we're prolly looking at 4 months of production and global freight to get everything situated (and also because we've gone through a few months of development as well).
Other Stuff: So, a few ideas have gone around, (1) new colors (lot of purple requests, i assume thats a deep purple, (2) new class sets, bard, rogue, druid (with mention of paladin), (3) new pins of the bard rogue and druid (that i had quickly illustrated), (4) professions gear (mostly discussed fishing, but could maybe include mining).

For this project, I am going to 

In addition, i am going to have the manufacturer start working on the other classes, since if it took a few months to get to this point, the time to que them up is now. 

Just a quick update for now, also, I took a few pictures of the pins (since i had already produced them

Thank you all so much for the ideas and support, and most of all excitement!

I really appreciate your ideas in the last tread to see what people are thinking and looking forward to, as a quick summary i saw the following
 -Accessories for classes Rogue, Druid, and Bard
- Purple/Pink owlbears
- excitement for the carrying bag
- interest in single accessories (esp fish)

Rogue Druid and Bard
i was able to work with our artist last night and get some new designs up (we typically pick 3 of the 4 designs to be made into pins).
Artist is Koit Paales


Accessories
Whats nice about this art exercise is that it allows us to figure out what sort of accessories we can do. So the ideas we had are as follows
- Rogue - cape with hood, coinpurse and dagger, and maybe coins (or caltrops)
- Bard - purple hat with feather, cards, lute and maybe flute (or large coin)
- Druid - flower crown with deer horns, leaf cloak, mushroom, and maybe little furry companion

New Colors
In regards to new colors, ill have to talk to the manufacturer and see what our timeline is, this could be fairly simple, but as always new additions mean timeline increases.  (so its curious to see what people want)

Carrying Bag
Carrying bag (initially i was looking at a bag to contain just the accessories, as a sort of way to keep everything together, and be an easy way to package the stuff together for when it gets to FLGS), I hadn't considered a bag to contain the owlbear as well, but ill inquire about it.

Single accessories
Ive heard a little bit of a desire for single accessories (for lost ones or to accompany new plushes), I do want to keep the box special, but i also don't want to fall into the trap of everything being avaliable piecemeal, because that creates a logistics nightmare. 
I am open to the idea of a new fishie (or making a fishing kit, with multiple fish and a crab and maybe a fishing line), but curious to see if there's a desire for say professions (wow styled, jewelr, miner, fishing, runes, etc)

Thank you all so much for your support and let me know what you think!

Hey Caretakers!!
I just have to say wow!! I did not expect that we would be funding this far...when i was originally planning this campaign, I was thinking that maybe we'd hit 15k by the end of the campaign.. 

This is great news because originally, I was planning that I was going to be fronting some of the production cost of these accessories out of pocket (which always makes things a little more difficult, but necessary if we were to hit production minimums at a decent rate).

Anyways!!
I did want to check in and see what else you all are looking forward to (in related to this campaign), new class pins? other simple accessories? potentially a new owlbear color? (this gives me a chance to see what you all are looking forward to and gives me a chance to see what we can make possible). 

I am looking into some sort of soft bag (with an owlbear print to hold the accessories), but that's currently being worked on. 

Thank you all for the support!
