Cubie Pouches
01/12/23 - Manu confirmed changes with me, seems like they're only starting now.
30/10/23 - Had to pay for new samples to implement the ear changes + final fixes. They also increased the unit price so ... :). but tbh they're looking so hecking cute i don't mind. Waiting for the new samples to be made. Was advised there will be delays due to holiday season.
22/09/23 - Samples received, advised of some changes I encountered when using the sample. For some reason the newer designs had some of the fabrics changed from the original samples. Getting them re-done to have the correct fitting but they are sooo close to being complete. E.g. hook fabric was changed. When I tested using it, because it was so thin, it kept twisting around. The thicker hook fabric allowed it to stay in place (front facing). And of course, maple's ears...
29/08/23 - As I was still unhappy with Maple's ear size, I requested them to fix it as per the initial change request. They advised that I should see the samples in real life first before moving onto more changes. So they are being sent to me so I can check them before bulk order.
03/07/23 - Samples of the other designs completed however minor issues with maple's ear design. From here until the 24/09/23 we were just constantly trying to fix maple's ears positioning and sizing.
What I wanted was to fix the gap between the ear and the head. It should be connected but wasn't. My proposed changes:
What I got:
Cubies: Cubies are currently still in sampling stages being close to completion. There was an ongoing delay where the manufacturer wasn't able to find the right colors for the fabric and sourcing them took some time. Some also had to be re-embroidered due to sizing and colors. The proposed finishing times were also often delayed due to public holiday closures. I've been advised the samples should finish sometime this week, but realistically it'll take another 1-2 weeks to get to me, at least a week to make any adjustments (if needed and thus adding another 3 weeks to implement the changes), otherwise it should take about a month for the bulk lot to be made! I'm so sorry again for the delay and wanted to be transparent with what's going on. I'll be including freebies for everyone, please just wait a little longer! <3
28/05/23 - Final fabric colors being sorted and Maple is just going through her final round of hair adjustment to correct the thickness. Awaiting assembly and shipment. Once approved bulk order should take ~1 month and then delivery. Some sneak peaks of their cute face and fluffy fabric :3
30/12/22 - Adjusting thread colors.
Please note: Minor delays due to manu closing over CNY during Feb.
30/12/22 - Sample fabrics and details finalized, sample pouches have begun production
11/11/22 - Funds received. Samples of remaining designs paid for. Currently choosing fabrics.
02/11/22 - Campaign surveys send out. Awaiting funds from KS to be processed.
