It's over ... let's get started!

Here's one of the least interesting photos to ever appear on this blog:

Not very interesting .. but documenting a very important moment. This is a snap from a few days ago, and the small box on packing lady Yasui-san's desk contained 116 copies of the 'I Choose You' print, ready for shipping to Jed.

Why is this an important moment? Because we're done! This is the final fullfillment of the obligations we took on during last year's hugely successful Kickstarter campaign!

We started the campaign with just one print design available, but the demand was so strong that we ended up adding another six designs before it was over, and the orders just kept rolling in, even though we clearly stated that we wouldn't be able to ship the final ones for well over a year.

Well, here we are, over a year later, now delivering these final prints, pretty much on schedule. I can't claim 'exactly' on schedule, because we promised that these I Choose You prints would be delivered in October of 2013, and although we here in Tokyo managed to get them done by that time, they still have to go to Jed for signing, and shipping out to the waiting collectors, which will push it into November for them. But we got close! (And considering the history of a great many Kickstarter campaigns, I think to be a couple of weeks 'late' over the course of a campaign this long is no mean feat ...)

Is this then, the end of the Heroes series? Of course not, as we have mentioned many times. The next four designs are already selected, and indeed have pulled in quite a few orders already.

And as these next few photos show, I'm already hard at it - carving of 'Trouble Afoot' has now begun!

Congratulations on this milestone! It has been fun to watch from the sidelines.
