over 7 years ago – Wed, Oct 12, 2016 at 09:06:25 PM

Hey there!

We're back from New York City, where C is for Cthulhu was represented at the ComixTribe Booth. We were happy to have a bunch of Kickstarter backers stop by the table and say hello.  

The Lovecraft ABC Book FREE Today on Kindle

In other cool news, we recently launched a new Kindle version of C is for Cthulhu: The Lovecraft Alphabet Book on Amazon.

 

We're doing a limited time promotion of the book on Kindle where anyone can download the book absolutely free. 

 

Right now, we're sitting at #190 in the most popular FREE downloads on the Kindle chart.  

Want to help us crack the top 100?

Every download we get helps power us up the Amazon charts and helps us share the Lovecraft even more.

Note for International backers: C is for Cthulhu Kindle version is available in all countries, however you may need to search for it on your own country's Amazon store. (Ex. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ )

Fulfillment Update

We're incredibly grateful for your patience as we work through the rest of our fulfillment. We have some good news on fulfillment:

  • The remainder of the rewards should all be packed and shipped out this week, including all plush toys (except giant) and the remaining coloring books and alphabet board books. 
  • Giant Plush toys will arrive in the US in early November, and will ship out to backers promptly upon arrival.  
  • We will be contacting International backers pledging for Giant Plush toys within the next two weeks with a shipping estimate for the Giant plush toys to your country, and will be following up to collect prior to shipping. 
  • There will be a small number of Giant plush toys we'll make available for purchase soon. We'll let Kickstarter backers no when they are available for sale first. 

Thanks again for your continued support!

Wow! 

Sometimes we're blown away by how awesome the C is for Cthulhu Community is. 

12 days ago, we asked you to help rectify the sad state of the C is for Cthulhu Coloring Book's 0 reviews status on Amazon.

 

Clearly, you delivered!

 

So many awesome reviews up there, and it's great to hear how happy everyone is with their books. 

As you may recall, we put out an offer of a FREE fridge magnet to the first 25 supporters who left an honest review on Amazon, emailed us a screen shot, and including a shipping address. 

We were shocked to find that we had 25 within an hour! 

We shipped out 25 magnets last week, and they've already started to arrive...

However, we decided we wanted to reward a few more of you, so we rushed another small order of magnets to print,  and put another 25 fridge magnets in the mail yesterday. 

So, the good news is, if you followed the instructions and have already given us a review, a screenshot and a mailing address... your magnet is likely already on the way. 

But what if I want to buy magnets?

We had a number of folks reach out to us asking if they could just buy magnets from us. 

Well, we still have a super limited amount in stock, but we've decided to add them to our online shop.

 

C IS FOR CTHULHU FRIDGE MAGNETS! (3-Pack)

New custom, precision-cut C is for Cthulhu fridge magnets are here!

Each order includes three (3)  green C is for Cthulhu magnets. 

  • Sticks to refrigerators, cars, and metal of all kinds so you can share the Lovecraft wherever you go.
  • Want to display that A paper from Miskatonic University on the fridge with pride? 
  • Perfect for displaying your C is for Cthulhu Coloring Book masterpieces.

Fridge magnets are in-stock and ship immediately, but supplies are very limited, so order today!

Click here to order your custom fridge magnets.

Plush Toy Fulfillment Update

Again, we appreciate your plush toy patience... 

We put in quite the large order for plush toys this time around, and production has taken longer than expected. 

Unlike the cheap, mass-produced plush toys you might find in a Wal-mart, these dolls are hand stitched and custom embroidered, which does take a lot of time. 

The good news: Production on the dolls is wrapped! 

In fact, I should have a few advanced dolls in hand today!

We're now working to get the rest of the shipment transferred from factory to fulfillment center and then fulfillment center shipped directly to you. 

We still expect dolls to arrive for most, if not all of you in October. 

Giant Plush Dolls

Now, I know many of you are waiting on word about the Giant plush dolls... well, those are going to take a bit longer to ship. 

We looked at getting those dolls shipped directly from overseas, but because of the size, the cost of doing that was astronomical. (Like over $1,000 per doll! Madness.)

So, those dolls will be traveling by boat to the US, and we'll pick them up and have them shipped out from US as soon as they come in. 

I'm working with the manufacturer to get more accurate dates on when those can be expected, and as soon as I know more, I will let you know. 

Again, appreciate your patience as we work through these logistical issues. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please just send us a message through Kickstarter. 

Best,

The C is for Cthulhu Team

P.S. Sweet Dreams Cthulhu is coming along GREAT!

 

Keep an EYE out...

C is for Cthulhu Coloring Books are Shipping!

We're thrilled to be able to say those glorious words!

C is for Cthulhu Coloring Books should start arriving for most US backers this week and next week. 

(We wanna see those pics on Facebook once you break out the crayons.)

We're still getting international orders sorted, so it'll be a few more weeks before most of our friends overseas get their books, but trust they are coming. 

Plush Toys Shipping Separately 

And as a reminder, we still have not taken delivery of the C is for Cthulhu Plush Toys, but we're expecting them soon.  

We'll let you know as soon as they ship, but don't be alarmed if your books arrive before your toys.

A Kickstarter You Might Like

Our pal Mac Smith has a brilliant and gorgeous looking Kickstarter that has just launched today.

We think some of you will want to be all over this one.

Look what the FedEx guy dropped off!

C is for Cthulhu intern Charles Cheese barking his head off?

Must be the FedEx guy at the door...

Boxes.

Is it?

Could it be?

Are they here?

They are!

Yes, my friends, the C is for Cthulhu Coloring Book has finally arrived and is in fact a real thing!

We made it. 

You made it possible.

Thank you so much.

Confession time...

You might imagine that when boxes of new books show up I might feel good, great, ecstatic even.

You'd be wrong.

What I feel most when books arrive?

FEAR.

Fear that I messed something up. 

Fear that there will be a typo.

Fear that pages will be missing or upside-down. 

Fear that the book won't be as amazing as we'd hoped and dreamed. 

Fear that, as publisher, I'll have let my team down. 

Fear that I'll let our incredible backers down. 

The good news...

That fear usually only lasts for a few moments, before it turns to joy.

The book is awesome!

 

 

And a big part of that is thanks to the craftsmanship of Sam and Jacob over at KrakenPrint, who have never let me down. 

If you're ever in need of a quality offset printer, definitely get a quote from Chicago-based KrakenPrint. 

(Oh, and if you mention that Tyler from the C is for Cthulhu Team sent you, they'll knock 5% off your entire first Print run. How cool is that!)

 

 Interested in how printing books works?

Listen to this conversation I had with Sam and Jacob of KrakenPrint on the ComixLaunch podcast.

Fulfillment Commences

Right now, books are being trucked from the KrakenPrint warehouse to our fulfillment center for Kickstarter picking, packing, and shipping off to you all. 

There are a LOT of orders, but we expect most books to ship within 10-14 days.

Remember, books will ship separately (and before) plush toys, which haven't arrived yet. 

Even though we're pretty much right on track as far as fulfillment goes, we still appreciate your patience as we bring another great Lovecraft product into the world.

Best,

Tyler James

The C is for Cthulhu Coloring Books Have Landed!
over 7 years ago – Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 07:30:14 PM

Hello, C is for Cthulhu backer!

Just time for a quick update, as we're packing up and about to head down to the Boston Comic Con this weekend. (In Beantown this weekend? Come by the ComixTribe tables (W66- W69) and say hello!

We got news from our printer that the C is for Cthulhu Coloring Book and the latest printing of the C is for Cthulhu Board Book have cleared customs in Chicago and have been received by our friends at KrakenPrint! 

Next steps are to transfer to our fulfillment partner for packing and delivery to all of you, which will happen this week. (Yay!)

Our plush toys are being produced by a separate manufacturer, and they have run a little behind schedule. However, production is expected to be complete on all plush toys this month. 

So, we will be shipping plush toys separately, as soon as possible... but we are not holding up the coloring books and board books while those plush toys get finished. 

As these pics will attest, the new and improved C is for Cthulhu plush toys will be worth the wait.

New Black Plush:

 Hope you're having a great summer!

Best,

The C is for Cthulhu Team
