Nearing 40k! - New Stretch Goal TBD

Update #18 · May 28, 2012 · 25 comments

Hello Everyone!

Given that it is a holiday weekend, we are sorry that we cannot confirm our new stretch goal to everyone just yet... pricing and production questions outstanding, we expect to hear back very soon.

Question to everyone, regarding artwork and posters.

We have had a number of questions about our posters and how we will be delivering them.  And at present, it is standard to deliver artwork and posters as folded posters in mailers with the rest of your rewards.  We would like to offer up a "tube mailer" option for anyone who wants rolled artwork as an upgrade to your pledge as we would have to mail it separate in a secure/crushproof container.  Please let us know your thoughts.

We are moving things right along!  Here is a preview of the "pre-layout" art print for Tentacle Bento featuring the aliens and our star students - needs some polish and other graphic elements, but you can see where we are going  :)

Thanks for your continued support, things are still swinging on our site: http://girls.sodapopminiatures.com/content/fund-tentacle-bento
