Good news, everyone! I have been informed that the manufacturing step for the 750 Frank N. Foode™ and 500 Lanakila Papaya plushies is completed! Right now, they are packing all 1,250 of them up in boxes and getting the details set up with customs. Soon they will be shipped to Wisconsin, where the boxes will be waiting for them to ship out to all of our backers. The shipping boxes are en route to us right now.
Keep in mind that it will take time to ship them to the US – the upper estimate is 45 days by ship, but it can be as low as 25 as well. If we elect for air shipping, it could be here sooner, but we’ll wait and see on the price. I’ll do what I can to make the last leg of this effort go quickly and efficiently.
If you haven’t gotten one yet, there’s no better time than now to get your name in to be a part of the first wave. If you are a backer you will be receiving an email shortly to confirm your details for the big shipment!
Thanks for your support!
Hey–I was just noticing Bill Nye on this page with a papaya: http://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2014/12/08/deafening-silence-from-bill-nye-to-kevin-folta-gmo-debate-challenge/
I think I’d like to buy one to send to him. Maybe with an invitation to some sort of event, say, a debate, or something.
