Hello darlings, EmpathP here.
The stickers and keychains have arrived today! I have begun packaging them, and should hopefully have them all packaged by tomorrow or Thursday. The T-shirts should also arrive this week, so now all we're waiting on is the CD itself! If all continues this way, we should start mailing out the CD by the end of this month!

Hello my darlings, EmpathP here!
I've very happy to say that the specters T-shirts have at last arrived! We're coming down to the wire and are nearly ready to get all the specters orders out into the mail to you guys.
I've inspected the shirts and the colors look sooo vibrant, alas my horrible room lighting and camera can't do them justice. I was a little nervous about the position of the print, because at first it looked like it was too far down the shirt (the same problem we had originally with CircusP's shirts). But, after trying one on to make sure, I found the print was RIGHT where it was supposed to be. I think the position of the lamppost on the graphic was just deceiving my eyes.
I have also packaged all the keychains and sticker packs, so all that's left is the CDs themselves. I've already burned the CD Master, so it's just a matter of finishing up the booklet and sending it off to the printers in town.
Even though Lupin will not be able to autograph the booklet like we wanted, due to the enhanced Covid-19 risk, he decided to include a digitally drawn version of his signature on the booklet cover. And of course, when the world is able to fight back against this virus, and we're all able to return to some semblance of normalcy, we hope that you will bring your copies of specters to whatever Convention Lupin may attend. I'm sure he will be happy to provide an in-person autograph when that time comes.
So yeah, stay tuned my children, we'll have more news very very soon!
Estimates for Specters shipments

Hello Darlings, EmpathP here.
OK, so I got some good news: All of our merch has been ordered for specters. That means the T-shirts, keychains, and stickers are all ordered and awaiting manufacturing and shipment. The estimate on the T-shirts says they'll be here by the end of the month. The stickers and keychains are currently with the production department of the manufacturer, so I'm hoping that means they'll be done within the next few weeks.
For the stickers and keychains, they will be coming to us directly from the UK, so there may be some shipping delays. But I paid for good shipping, so I'm hoping they get here in a timely manner.
But buttons on the other hand are ALL complete and looking snazy.
I'm going to TENTATIVELY say that, should we get EVERYTHING by the end of August, I'll be able to start mailing this out by the 31st. There's obviously going to be several deciding factors to this, but I don't predict I'll have to delay the shipment of the CDs any later then the first week of September.
I'll keep you guys posted though as I start to get all the merch orders in. And again everyone, I want to thank you so much for being so patient during these uncertain times. I'll have a new update for you all as soon as my manufacturers send me shipment updates!

Update on Specters
over 5 years ago

Hello friends, EmpathP here!
We got some good news for you: Now that our manufacturers are back in business, we have begun placing orders for all the goodies to get specters finished up and sent out to you all!
The stickers and keychains have been ordered and should hopefully be here by the end of next month. We have to expect shipping delays though, simply due to the pandemic. The T-shirts will also be ordered this coming week, and the CDs themselves will be ordered within the next two weeks. However, our CD manufacturer is currently only open 4 days a week, so there may be some slight delays there. Luckily the CD place is in my home town, so once they're printed I can just drive to pick them up. I will be pressing the buttons next week as well, so I'll have another update then once I get a good number of them created to show you all!
Now, due to the pandemic, we've decided that for the sake of everyone's safety, Lupin will not be autographing specters. We just think it's too dangerous, what with shipping the necessary items to Lupin, and then shipping them back to me. It just involves too many changing hands and too much risk involved in the potential transmission of any health hazards.
We're going to do our best to get this last CD out to you as carefully as possible. We want to thank you guys for being so patient, no one on this planet was expecting this pandemic to happen. But we're finally moving forward again! And we can't wait to get this album in the mail to you!
In the meantime here's a little teaser from Lupin and rice (the illustrator of specters): The graphic for the album keychain, based off Lupin's song "Bokeh"!
