About
Interest checks opened on April 23, 2019[1]. Contributor applications opened from June 9 to June 30, 2019[2]. A reported total of 243 applications were reported to have been submitted[3].
On August 7, 2019, the project's social media accounts announced that their graphic artist had stepped down from the project and that mod applications would be opened to fill in[4]. The new mod was announced on January 2020, while preorders were running.
Preorders were originally expected to begin in late December, but due to delays was pushed to January 26, 2020[5]. The project's bigcartel storefront opened with the following pricing tiers[6]:
- Digital PDF Zine ($10 USD)
- Zine Bundle ($18 USD) - Physical Zine
- Mid Bundle - Physical Zine, Choice of Maya or Trucy Acrylic Charms, Random Button Pins, Random Sticker Sheets
- Merch Bundle - Acrylic Charms, Button Pins, Sticker Sheets
- Full Bundle ($45 USD) - Physical Zine, Acrylic Charms, Button Pins, Sticker Sheets
The digital version of zine could be added onto physical bundle orders for a reduced fee. An early bird bonus of a free customizable PVC card was offered to the first 25 people[7]. Preorders closed on February 23, 2020, and the project entered its production phase.
The project experienced its first interruption in production on March 12, 2020. The project's social media account reported the national capital region of Phillippines had entered into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shipping, originally slated for February to March, would be delayed until the lockdown was lifted[8]. Another update came on April 6, 2020 to inform followers that shipping would be delayed furhter because their suppliers had extended suspension of their survices[9].
In response to these disruptions, the project reopened digital sales on May 30, 2020[10]. Digital merch such as desktop and phone wallpapers were offered for free but buyers could pay however much they wanted for it to further support the team. This sale closed on June 16, 2020[11].
Due to continued issues with production, the project announced on August 4, 2020 that they would move their base of operations to the United States[12].
Shipping finally began on September 17, 2020[13]. Leftover sales ran from October 25, 2020 to November 18, 2020[14].
