Thank you all so much for your patience as we waited for the replacement animation cel prints to get produced! The final batch of prints have arrived, been assembled, signed, and sent out to Mythic for the final round of fulfillment!
Everyone should have their products all in hand in the next couple of weeks, with some wiggle room in there for European orders. I'll keep tabs with the fulfillment team and update you if we expect any changes.
Thank you again for your incredible support of this journey!
As always, I'll be avilble for messaging if you have any concerns or questions.
Best,
Tyler
Animation Cel prints, update
11 months ago

Hello all!
Firstly, my apologies for missing my last update. My family had some personal stuff come up while I was trying to race to finish things up before leaving the country (everything is fine). Anyway, we returned last week and we prepped and signed all of the prints that arrived while I was gone. With...a couple of exceptions.
One layer for both the Venger and Warduke prints had a printing error on them, so they need to be re-printed. I don't like having to wait to get those taken care of, but it's very important to me that you all get the best quality product I am able to deliver. Hopefully those will get done today or Thursday and will be in the studio next week!
In the meantime, all of the Uni the Unicorn and Presto prints have shipped to Mythic, so any orders waiting for those specific prints should be able to ship.
While we wait, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Thanks!
Tyler
The Animation Cel prints are in motion!

Alrighty! Good news! On Monday we received the animation cel prints for Dungeon Master, Diana/Eric, and Bobby/Hanna/Sheila. We got them assembled, signed and shipped to the gang at Mythic. So some orders will be able to ship soon.
The next batch of prints had been completed and are en route to my studio. I will do my best to get those out the door as soon as I am able.
HOWEVER, they are currently scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, which is also the day I am scheduled to leave the country for 10 days. If they arrive early enough in the day, I will be able to get them all signed and sent to Mythic before my flight. If they arrive later in the day…well…I will do my best to sign as many as I can before I head to the airport.
Fingers crossed!
I’ll post an update next Wednesday to let you know how everything shakes out, but I’m the worst case scenario we’ll be able to finally get everything moving when I’m back in my studio on the 23rd.

Just wanted to give you all an update on the animation cel production.
TL/DR is that we are *very close.*
I was hoping to have the prints in-hand last week, but there were some issues with the press that needed addressing before they could successfully run the prints with proper ink coverage. They were able to get those issues sorted and ran a good batch of test-prints on Tuesday, but the machine needs tiny bit of fine tuning in order to assure that we're sending you all the finest quality end-product we can manage. The fine tuning will be happening tonight. I am told that the final run should happen either tonight or next Tuesday (its a small team and the press operator is only on-site Tuesdays and Thursdays).
I know these delays are frustrating, but please know that things are moving forward! Any delays at this point are caused in the pursuit of quality. Delivery should be right around the corner!
Thank you again for your continued patience. As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Update on the animation cel print shipping dates

Alright! I finally have some firm dates to give you for the animation cel prints.
First off, 185 orders have shipped to you wonderful backers! The remaining orders all include the animation cel prints, and will ship as soon as Mythic receives them from me.
The machine that enables the opaque printing on the clear plastic is a rare one, and I'm glad to have found a partner capable of producing them for us. However, the machine can also be a temperamental beast. They've been working out some issues with the machine and are waiting on parts before they can get everything out the door.
The current schedule, as it has been told to me, has them printing everything around March 28th. They will then ship them to me. I will be exhibiting at C2E2 in Chicago from March 30-April 3rd. When I am back in the studio on April 4th, my assistant and I will assemble the print layers, and ship them off to Mythic so they can get them all into your hands as soon as possible.
Thank you all for you patience as we navigate these bumps in the road.
