Update #24 – Shipping, Surveys & Con Season!
10 months ago – Wed, Nov 05, 2025 at 06:25:30 PM

Okay folks, I’m back with another quick update and some news!

Kickstarter hasn’t released the funds to me yet, but they did confirm that everyone’s cards have cleared. 
It would be awesome if everyone could also finish their BackerKit surveys so we can wrap up that part too.

Shipping Update
As of today, everyone who selected expedited shipping or only ordered Wave 1 (and has completed their survey) -> your orders have shipped!
India Backers: I’ll be visiting later this month and will have your Wave 1 figures with me.

LegionsCon Pickup
For those attending LegionsCon, I’ll have your names with me.
If you selected the LegionsCon pickup option and have something from Wave 1, just stop by Table #82 and grab your order!

Production & The Book
If you want your name in the Kickstarter book, this is your final call to fill out your survey.
The book goes to the printer later this week, so please make sure your info is in before then. 🙏🏼

Share the Love 😅
If you’ve already received your order, please share photos on your socials and help spread the word!
If you’re outside the US and still waiting, keep me posted. I’m tracking everything closely.

Thank you all again for the amazing support and energy you’ve shown throughout this project. 😊🙏🏼

Update #23 – IMP! Shipping, Surveys & Next Steps
11 months ago – Wed, Oct 15, 2025 at 11:30:20 AM

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share some quick updates for everyone as important dates are drawing near.

If you’ve received your figures, please feel free to share photos on your socials. It really helps spread the word! If you haven’t received your package yet and want me to check on it, just reach out directly and I’ll look into it right away.

For India Backers:
I’ll be traveling to India in November and will have your Wave 1 figures with me. This way, I can get them to you safely and at the lowest shipping cost possible. Thank you for your patience and support! It wouldn't have been possible without your help and trust.

For 3 installments backers:

  1. Kickstarter Payments:
    Kickstarter will be charging the final installment this week.
    Please double-check that your cards are up to date so your pledge processes smoothly. KS is closing these in a week. So, the window is pretty tight.
  2. BackerKit Surveys (IMPORTANT):
    Once Kickstarter completes payments, BackerKit will send out the surveys.
    We’ll have a very short window here as well. Please complete your survey by October 30.
    I need everyone’s names finalized for the mini-comic, which goes to the factory on October 31.

Filling your survey by 10/30 will really help us stay on schedule and it ensures your name makes it into the book! If for some reason the survey hasn't come through, please message me here or anywhere on social media and I can note down your name. 🙏

Next Steps:
I’ll be shipping or hand-delivering all remaining Wave 1 figures before I leave for India.
And as promised, we’re moving into production on all characters. Here’s a photo of the samplescoming in-

Thank you all once again for your continued support. We enter Wave 2 production soon! 🙏🏼

Update #22 – Website Live & Final BackerKit Locking
12 months ago – Sun, Oct 05, 2025 at 08:08:18 PM

Hi everyone,

Exciting news -> our official website is now live and fully functional! 🎉
👉 https://www.thehierophantentertainment.com/

All our in-stock items are listed there, and we’ve already started receiving some orders through the site. Feel free to check it out. Your feedback is always welcome!

On the Kickstarter side, we’ll be locking all completed-payment BackerKit orders within the next day. You should have already received an email from BackerKit about this.

If you’d like to add any last-minute items (which you totally should 😄), please do so before the window closes. We’re doing this now because Kickstarter’s 3-part payment orders will begin processing soon, and this gives me a little breathing room between batches.

Don’t worry, I can always reopen locked orders later if you want to add more, and our website will continue taking new orders. I can also combine your BackerKit and website orders to help save on shipping.

As always, thank you for your incredible support and enthusiasm. Every small milestone from shipping Wave 1 to launching our site is possible because of you. 🙏

Update #21 – Wave 1 Shipping Complete & Next Steps
12 months ago – Tue, Sep 30, 2025 at 04:18:04 PM

Hi everyone,

As of today, all orders that included only Wave 1 figures OR chose expedited shipping (in the US and worldwide, except India) have been shipped. 

That means you should have already received your figure, or you will be receiving it in October as promised. When you do, please share photos on your socials and let others know, spreading the word really helps! And yes, I ship things pretty quick. Fastest fulfillment ever. 😂

For Backers in India
As promised, I’ll be getting your figures to you through the cheapest and safest route possible. I’ve spoken with almost everyone individually, but if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
If you’d like to receive your figures sooner by covering extra shipping, we can make that happen too.

Surveys
If you haven’t filled out your survey yet, please do so or I may start reaching out one by one. 😅

Payment Plan Backers
If you’re on a pledge-over-time plan but want your figures earlier, reach out and we’ll see what’s possible.

Factory Update
Tooling is now complete and production starts soon! Here’s a photo from the factory with everyone standing together.

Thank you again for your incredible support, we’re so far on schedule, and there’s a lot more to come. 🙏

Update #20 – Shipping, Test Shots & Extras
12 months ago – Wed, Sep 17, 2025 at 07:04:27 PM

Hi everyone,

Wave 1 shipping has officially begun! If you have selected expedited shipping or have just Wave 1, your notification will be going out soon. If you can, then please share on your socials and with your friends when you get your figures. 

Here’s how BackerKit’s process works (so you know what those steps/ emails mean):
Lock Orders → no more changes or add-ons. If you want to add more figures, you should do that before orders are locked. For now I am just locking Wave 1 orders. 
Charge Cards → Backerkit will charge for shipping/taxes, if applicable.
Lock Addresses → final confirmation of where your package is going.
Shipping → your rewards head out the door!

This all happens step by step, so don’t worry if you don’t see everything at once. It’s rolling out in batches.

On the fun side:

  • Prototypes: We’ve received some photos of Wave 2 and I’ll share more once they arrive here in the US.
  • Mini-Comic Art: Pages are starting to come in. I’ll post some sneak peeks soon!
  • Box Remarques: I’ve had a few requests for remarks on boxes. I’m doing these with a smudge-proof marker so they’re permanent little extras. 😅

Things are moving along, and I’m so grateful for all the support and energy around this project. Can’t wait for more of you to start unboxing these figures!
