Hi everyone!

Happy New Year! I realize it has been over a month since the last update... that was LAST YEAR...! I hope it is going well for everyone, and that you're all happy and healthy so far this year. 🙂

The printer has been working on the books, and our 3D partner has been working on finishing the limited-edition statues... and they look GREAT! Check out these photos they sent to us yesterday!




They also sent this video showing the piece from various angles:


These will each come in three easy-to-assemble pieces: the main character, the cloud base, and the crown of feathers. These are all modeled with easy-to-insert slots and pegs, so you should have no trouble putting it together. As 3 separate pieces, it should pack and travel much more securely.

We are still waiting on images of the color box, but we hope to have that soon. (Unfortunately, we're traveling out of the country next week to meet with a bunch of licensors, publishers, authors, and artists for our 2026-27 plans, but we'll be sure to share everything we can from the road! Otherwise, definitely when we're back!)

Thanks, everyone! We'll have more to share soon!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick follow up to the "Smoke Test" update -- the rest of the surveys have been sent!

Watch your email inboxes for your unique link from Backerkit. If you need help locating that link, email [email protected] and we'll get your survey link to you right away.

We aim to lock orders in March so that we can receive everything in our warehouse by May, with fullfillment in June or July.

Let us know if you have any questions!

THANKS!

Hi everyone!

Just a quick not to let everyone know that the smoke test surveys have been sent.  If you're not familiar with Backerkit, this is the stage at which ~5% of backer surveys are sent out as a subset to test the surveys for any questions or bugs. Assuming those surveys go smoothly, the rest of the surveys should go out this weekend!

We'll be sure to post another update shortly to let you know if/when those have all gone out, and where you can find yours.

If you have any questions, let us know!

Hey, everyone!

What an awesome conclusion to an awesome campaign! You kept the "Pledge Train" rolling for 17 minutes of overtime! Thank you!!!

Now that the campaign is over, we have the fun task of transferring everything over to Backerkit's Pledge Manager. We hope to have that done in the next two weeks, so watch these updates and look for survey emails around the 21st!

Have a great weekend, everyone! We know we sure will!

Hi everyone!

Not sure if you noticed, but you've collectively blown past the last stretch goal and unlocked the MONKEY KING Sticker Set!

Now, all physical pledges will include a wealth of bonus freebies, including: 

Plus, all hardcover Omnibuses will now include a red satin ribbon bookmark bound into the spine and Gold Foil Gilding on the page edges of all new hardcover Omnibuses (including slipcased copies)! These new Omnibuses will be very special (and limited, so act fast)!

We have 10 hours left (as of posting this update), so please spread the word in this final stretch to bring as many friends and family to the project! When these hardcovers are gone, they will not be reprinted!
