Latest Updates from Our Project:

Surveys Incoming from Backerkit!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 27, 2022 at 05:08:55 AM

Hey guys,

   This is just a quick update to let you know that surveys from Backerkit will be sent out later this week. They're finished and ready to go, but have to be checked by staff before they're approved. It's kind of a last minute change but since they allow a lot of customisation and it even helps with future projects, it seemed like the best way to go. Also you'll be able to add additional pairs and even buy some of our previous designs at a much reduced price. Possibly nice since Christmas is a few months away.


As for the design change decision... the final version of Snake Rattle n Roll still hasn't arrived from the factory, so i'm just going to go ahead and offer Mario Kart (Green) and Smash Bros! I asked for your feedback in the last update and it sounded like everyone was pretty happy with that option anyway. I will make sure a version of it ends up in a future project.


Updated Timeline

30 Sep: Send Surveys

10th Oct: Close surveys and begin production

10th November: Finish production

15-25th November: Packages shipped.


Thats all for you today. Look out for the surveys later this week. Thanks!

Jonathan

11 days to go!
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Aug 09, 2022 at 08:19:19 PM

Hey guys, 

Hope you've had a great weekend! I just flew back to the UK last week, so it's been a bit hectic, seeing family and friends while trying to keep pushing the project forward. We have 11 days to go and 131% of our goal reached so far, so i'm working hard now to get us to atleast 150% and 1 stretch goal, ideally 2. I have a few ideas up by sleeve to bring some much needed publicity to the project. If you have any ideas, i'm all ears! Thank you again for backing the project and for putting up with my update emails for some previous projects. I'll be sending some more out in the final week too, in the off chance we missed anyone. 

 Anyway let me know if you have any questions or suggestions or other feedback.  I'll update again in a few days. Have a good week and talk to you soon. 

We did it! Funded in under 3 days! Thank you!

Hey guys! 

It's been 3 days since launch and we just hit 100% a few hours ago! That means the project definitely gets made and we can now turn out attention to stretch goals. More on those below. I want to thank you all for either finding us randomly on Kickstarter, or for coming back year after year to support these little indie sock collections. The comments are really heart warming and I can see just how much our socks means to a lot of you guys. I feel truly blessed to get this much support every year to continue making these projects. 


Stretch Goals

Our first Stretch Goal is 150% and we have one new design to unlock and one past design. I'll give you guys a vote on which oldie to bring back.  But for an original design, there was one on the last project we couldn't get made. But how about we give it a try and hopefully we can SMASH the target! 

FAQ

To answer the main question i've been getting so far - yes there will be some designs from previous projects available in this one,  mainly for the higher reward tiers. As it's important that atleast some of every reward tier goes toward making our new designs. The stretch goals will also consist of some new designs, some of which we had ready before but couldn't release, and some brand new. As well as some now out of stock but big hits from past projects. So i hope there will be a much bigger selection by the end than just these 5. 


I'll go into a lot more detail in future updates. For now i just want to say a big thank you to everyone who backed so far! Have a beautiful day.
