Poké-toast Vol. 2: Embroidered dad hats & more

Shipping Progress
5 months ago – Mon, Jun 17, 2024 at 11:32:03 AM

Hi toasties! I've been working hard over the weekend QA checking and packing packages! You can check your Backer kit for the tracking info.  

We're over 75% shipped which leaves the final batch to be people with the Applin Mugs! These will ship starting the week of 23rd because the boxes I ordered to accommodate the mugs came .... well.. damaged 😅 

I've put in a new order for the custom-sized boxes today and hopefully, they'll be at my house by the 23rd! Custom-sized boxes are required for the mugs to decrease the chances of mugs arriving damaged. 

Most of you should be receiving your rewards soon and I hope y'all will tag me if you decide to share photos ♥︎ Instagram | twitter (x)

Here are some product photos I got around to now that everything is here!! If you have friends or know anyone who'd love some toastie hats, bags, or shirts (sinnoh totes and shirts are preorder right now!) you can direct them to my shop! Items will be available starting June 23rd! 

Toast-kip and toast-let are out of stock and the following designs will not be restocked: Scorbunny, squirtle, sprigatito. Turtwig will get one more restock and I will gauge popularity of the volume two hats before announcing which ones will not be restocked again. 

Additionally, I am moving away from the regional sticker sheets and will have sticker sheets for Fire, Water, and grass type instead. So if you like the regional sheet designs, grab them while you can!

Shipping begins!

Hello, toasties! I have exciting news -- half the hats arrived and will be ready to go to new homes! 

The other half is still in transit... somewhere haha but here are the designs that made it:

Next Steps:

• If you moved between the time you filled out your address on backerkit and now, please message me as soon as possible. Let me know the new address so I can get your hats to the right address
• I will pack orders based on what is available at home -- this means the hat designs above, volume 1 hats, t-shirts, and regional totes. I had to order new packing boxes since the appletun tote doesn't fit in the boxes I have at home. 
• I'm still missing 5 addresses! If you have not filled out your survey on backer kit, I'm unable to fulfil your order :( 

Thank you so much for your patience and support. I can't wait for y'all to receive your toast buddies!

Appletun Tote Update
6 months ago – Wed, Jun 05, 2024 at 02:13:13 PM

Hello! It has been awhile since the last update and honestly I was hoping most things would have arrived by now. We are still on track based off the initial time line and it looks like rewards can be shipped around the end of June. 

I just finished my big summer events and I'm checking up on all pending items now. I was unavailable since May 20th till now due to personal health (I've been sick twice already) + back to back events. 

All dad hats should finish the production process by early next week and then they will be shipped to me for QA checking. 

Appletun totes are finally done and just arrived. Here are some photos. It has some very minor water resistance qualities to the light beige fabric but the straps (darker beige) are not resistant at all. 

This bag can hold a good amount of stuff. I haven't tested it for everything yet but I wanted to see if it would fit the bare minimum of what I designed it for-- an Ipad pro 11, a boba cup, keys, and phone. 

Thank you all for your patience!

Hello toast enthusiasts! 

I'm finally able to share a few updates in the production process. 

1. Hats are going through the embroidery design process. 
2. Appletun bag is almost completed
3. Standard totes & Fanny packs have arrived
4. T-shirts are on their way to me

Now I can get into showing photos! 

Hat Progress:

Based off last year's timeline, i'd expect hats to finish all production by end of may and arrive at my house for QA checking mid June.

Appletun Tote:

Standard Tote & Fanny Packs

Thank you so much for the support and I hope these photos help build up some excitement!

Project complete!

We made it and it looks like we hit the goal for appletun charm freebies with each appletun tote bag. 

So what's next? 

• Credit Card Charges
• Surveys (Backer kit & Kickstarter)
• Pre Orders
• Giveaway winner

Credit Card Charges 
By now everyone should have been charged. If your pledge has been errored out, please check your credit card details as soon as possible. I will not be able to fulfil your order until the charges have gone through. 

Surveys
I'm working on the BackerKit surveys and hope to  get them out sometime next week. You will be able to select your hat choices on backerkit & extra add-ons if you decide to purchase more! Additionally, this is where shipping will be charged. I decided to set up shipping on backerkit since I can do so by weight instead of by item. 

Please fill the survey out as soon as possible. Addresses will be left editable so you can change it if you move locations anytime from now till June (target fulfilment month). 

I will also send out a Kickstarter survey early May as a reminder to fill out the backerkit survey + address. 

Pre Orders
If you or someone you know missed out on the Kickstarter funding phase, the pre-order shop will be open until all fulfillment is completed. Pre-orders will not come with Kickstarter freebies/benefits. 

Giveaway
Congrats to Lexi Backer #11 for winning the giveaway! You will be able to fill out details on the backerkit survey to select your free toast-club edition pin!

Here are some progress photos I've gotten for samples of appletun items
