Dear Throw Octopus! Backer,
Thank you all again for backing the Throw Octopus! project on Kickstarter. We have processed payments for shipping & handling and add-ons last week via our pledge manager, BackerKit. So far, we've completed about 90% of our backers. If you haven't completed the pledge manager or if you did not receive a link to the pledge manager, please contact us at [email protected] so we can assist.
We will lock orders shortly before shipping just in case you move and need to update your address.
Production Has Started
We're very excited to announce that production on all the Throw Octopus! products has begun! Last week, we received the final proof (hard copies) on all of our products for our inspection and approval. We found one small typo, had it corrected, and have now approved the manufacturer to begin production.
Here's a photo of the final proof products ..
We're printing more copies of our Shady Pets Card Game as well since we're down to just a few hundred left of the Original and totally sold out of the NSFW version.
Estimated time line for delivery;
- May 6 - Production Begins
- June 1 - Production Completed
- June 5-10 - Shipment leaves China for Long Beach, CA (USA)
- September 15 - Estimated delivery to FireStorm Labs in CA.
- September 20-30 - Shipping to Backers begins.
We've been told by multiple sources that due to supply chain issues, what normally took 45-50 days to ship and receive products from China, now takes about 4 months.
We will keep you informed of any changes or delays.

Hello Throw Octopus Backers,
We're all set! Within the next 24 hours, you will receive an email from our pledge manager, Backerkit. When you click on the email link you'll arrive at an intro page (after log-in) that will look like this:
If you're content with your pledge, please click on the green "Get Started" button.
If you would like to change your pledge then please click on the "switch your pledge level" link located under the Get Started button.
Once you're content with your pledge, please proceed to the ADD-ONS screen:
Here you have the option to add more copies of the game, add the NSFW expansion pack, more plushies, or even the Shady Pets game at a discounted price. These add-ons will be in addition to your pledge level order. There's an additional weight with each add-on and a small fee as well. Usually each add-on will have a few more dollars extra for S&H.
Once this is complete select 'NEXT' and we'll collect your shipping address and payment for shipping, then you'll be all set!!
If you have any questions or if there's something you'd like to change or add to your order that the system is not allowing, please email us at [email protected]
