Funds have cleared! Digital file fulfilment, production updates

We have been paid! All the funds have cleared through Kickstarter and we can now begin full production. This means dropping off the master box at our casting studio and beginning the molding and casting process. We're likely looking at a 1-2 month turnaround time for that, then another few months of painting. We will be shipping tiers as they are completed, so if you ordered an Unpainted version (or wish to add one in Backerkit) those will ship a few months before the painted versions.
For our Digital file distribution, we decided to go with MyMiniFactory! Their decentralized distribution platform allows for unlimited numbers of downloads, and keeps track of your files in your library, so you can get all your files in one place. We've seen a lot of other artists migrate to the platform and seemed like the most robust option for distribution.
If you ordered the STL (or add it on to your pledge in Backerkit) you should receive an email with redemption instructions within the next week or so, after you've filled out your Backerkit survey (which will also be in your inbox shortly).
Thank you all for your support, and keep an eye out for another update about surveys soon!
Sincerely;
Karl and Dani

Thank you all so much for the support! We are so thrilled that so many people are excited about this project, and we are looking forward to producing some amazing artwork for you all.
We'll have about a two week break while Kickstarter processes the funds, during which we'll get the pledge manager up and running and get all the files uploaded to our distrobution platform.
Thank you so so much, y'all are seriously amazing!
Sincerely
Karl and Dani

We've got just 20 hours left in our Kickstarter! Thank you all so much for the support, we're so excited to be making the Mimic Deck Box a reality.
For this update we wanted to show off some of the great uses of the box, and talk about another Kickstarter project we're super excited about.
The perfect size for some dice, a mini, and your spell + item cards!
More room in the bottom for more dice or tokens
The Mimic Deck Box, sized up with some other popular deck boxes
We also wanted to shout out another fantastic Kickstarter from a fellow fantasy artist! If you like original art and customization, you're going to love the concept of this Kickstarter. Here's a bit about the project from the artist, which you should definitely check out:
Welcome to make 100 Detailed Dragons
In this ultra-limited edition Kickstarter, I will be making 100 different artworks of ink, watercolour and acrylic dragons. I am making this Kickstarter as there are two things I love painting: Dragons and fantasy/surreal landscapes. This Kickstarter is focused on dragons with a touch of surreal dragons and landscapes. What is special about this Kickstarter is you get to design your own dragon, Build a Bear style.
You can design your own dragon with all my options. Select the colour, style and age of the dragon and I'll create a unique dragon just for you.
This Kickstarter is like Build a Bear but for original dragon artwork!
Just 3 days left! + Project update

We're nearing the end of this Kickstarter campaign! It's really lovely seeing how many people are willing to support this awesome project, and we really appreciate your interest.
It would mean a lot if you share the project link with your friends, family, or local gaming group, it really helps to get the word out and allows for us to run this Kickstarter without spending money on ads (which means our art is less expensive). Just copy and paste the link below, or hit the share button on the project page:
We have our master, and are currently cleaning it up and prepping it for molding. This will be the final production master so we want to make sure everything fits properly and looks polished. After the master is completed, we'll head back to our casting shop an begin making molds!
The Master Mimic!
(and if you look real close you may see some of our next Kickstarter project in the background)
Thank you so much for your support!

Master is in progress, print files ready to go!

Just a quick update today:
We go in touch with our printer and the Master deckbox is currently in production! This finely detailed model will serve as the master which we make all our resin molds from, and as such will get a lot of care and attention to make sure every detail is perfect.
This also means our 3D files are ready for fulfillment when the Kickstarter ends! You'll have access to both the supported and unsupported files so that you can print them however you'd like! (you can even scale them down to make mini boxes if you'd like).
The original prototype was printed in 5 parts. The final version is being printed in 3 (no seamlines to clean!)
On a Mimic related note, we have a few remaining Everyday Mimic enamel pins available in our shop leftover from our previous Kickstarter! If you like monster items, be sure to check them out:
