In case you haven't heard, you can pre-order a Rhea Snaketail figurine from Patch Together!
Production will not actually begin until 50 figurines have been pre-ordered.
Some people have been saying that they will only order a figurine once they're able to see it. That's a reasonable expectation, but it will be a while before we get to see the prototype figurine. They will only make the figurine after 50 pre-orders have been taken so that they can make up the cost of production and make bit of a profit. Alternatively, I could pay $500 out of my pocket to have the figurine done in advance, but uh... I'll pass.
In the meantime, if you want to get a good idea of what the figurine will look like, feel free to look at some of the other toys available on the site:

After the goal of 50 pre-orders has been met, the prototype will be made. I have been told that it takes approximately 3 weeks for its completion. After that, pictures of the figure will be posted (I assume), and pre-orders will continue to be accepted for a limited amount of time until a specified date. I'm not sure how long that will be, so don't ask. :B
If we're lucky, maybe we'll be getting our figurines around Slightly Damned's 7th birthday in March!
I'm thinking that the unveiling of the Rhea prototype will be my cue to submit designs for a Buwaro figurine and a Kieri figurine. Some of you may want Sakidos or Deaths, but it's important to me to round out the main trio first.
