A photo of shaker charms of characters from Transformers Animated. The style of the outside of the charm is made to look like the boxes the toys for the series came in.
The top row has Optimus Prime, Ratchet, and Bumblebee. The second row has Blitzwing, Prowl, and Bulkhead. And the third row has Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave.

The same setup as the previous picture, but taken from a lower angel, focusing on Starscream.

Time for a quick lightning round of some merch items we think should get their time to shine: our shiny stickers and keychains! ✨
Here's a closer look so you can see how they're going to look once they're printed and sent out 🔍

(Artist credits in replies!)

A preview of 3 holographic stickers of Shinmyoumaru Sukuna, Saki Kurokoma, and Hina Kagiyama. Shinmyoumaru is laying in her bowl, smiling and pointing at the viewer, while holding her needle. Her sticker has a vaporwave effect, giving a shiny chrome look to the inside of her bowl. Saki has her arms crossed, with an intimidating look on her face. She is wearing a keffiyeh, which will have a reflective property on the sticker. Hina is smiling and holding up an olive branch. Her sticker has a heart-holographic effect, giving her an overlay of small pink hearts.

A preview of 2 holographic keychains of Mima and Rin Kaenbyou. Mima is holding her staff with her tongue sticking out, while two sprits are at her sides. Her keychain has a star-holographic effect, giving her an overlay of small yellow stars and sparkles. Rin is wearing a thobe, striking a pose and a smile with poppies surrounding her. Her keychain has a flower-holographic effect, giving her an overlay of small brightly colored flowers.

🍉 We're in the final week!!
Pre-orders will close on March 28th at the time of this post (7PM EST)!

Also, did you know our zine comes with a small educational section about Palestine's visual motifs, cultural staples, and nature? Here's a small look at the finished product! 🔍

A preview of an informational page with various drawings and diagrams of Palestinian themes. These include:

Tatreez/Thobe
Arabic coffee
Arabic Tea
Awwami
Mafroukeh Truffles
Msakhan
Olives
Purslane Stew
Warak Dawali

Tatreez description: Tatreez is of the most expressive and symbolic visual elements in Palestinian culture. The practice has been passed down by generations of Palestinian women, and each pattern you see comes with its own meaning or story behind it! The patterns are often used to adorn outfits, furniture, and other objects. Tatreez is most popularly stitched onto loose-fitting traditional dresses called thobes.

Artist credits: Konoha - Thobe; Arumi - Olives; Gashadokuroz - Arabic Tea; Leah - Arabic Coffee, Awwami, Mafroukeh Truffles; Xiang - Msakhan, Purslane Stew, Warak Dawali; Cici - Yuyuko & BG

A preview of an informational page with a collage of Palestinian birds and butterflies native to the Levant region, made from art in the zine. These include:
Blue Rock Thrush
Cleopatra
Eagle
Great Tit
Hoopoe
Levantine Marbled
Masked Shrike
Palestinian Sunbird
Plain Tiger
Southern Swallowtail

Description of the Levant region: The ‘Levant’ refers to the region above the Arabian peninsula that borders the Mediterranean Sea to the west, and West Asia to the East.

Artist credits: Niidirull3 - Palestinian sunbird; Akaihato - Butterflies: Southern Swallowtail, Plain Tiger, Cleopatra, Levantine Marbled White; Servare - Masked Shrike; Yurioso - Golden Eagle; Myxineye - Great tit, Hoopoe, Blue rock thrush

We've got more special merch to preview! This is our 3-piece scene standee of Yuuka and a Palestinian sunbird, designed by Ria (@ocarianya.bsky.social)! 🕊️

You can assemble this delightful piece of nature by ordering our full bundle or by buying the standee through a la carte!

Store link below! 🔽

A preview of a Yuuka Kazami acrylic standee. She is smiling and approaching a Palestinian sunbird sitting on an olive tree, petting it on its head with her index finger. Behind her is a background acrylic with bushes, Palestinian poppies, faqqua irises, and a cloudy sky.

The standee separated to show its three layers: The background with the bushes and flowers, the main piece with Yuuka and the tree + sunbird, and an ovular base with grass and a few more poppies.

We're doing some merch previews in our last leg of pre-orders, giving you a closer look at some of our items!

First up is our tote bag, designed by Spear! This 34 x 38 cm double-sided bag is available in our full bundle and a la carte. A textless variant is available as well!

Mockup of a white canvas bag with a 3x3 grid of stylized silhouettes of different Touhou characters surrounded by borders. This is the front side of the bag. Each silhouette primarily features one color and has a stylized border around it. The characters are Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Youmu, Sanae, Reisen, Cirno, and Aya. The center piece is a yin yang with "東方 Project" written along the corners.

Happy #Mar10Day! Mario games are extremely important to me, ESPECIALLY TTYD which means the absolute world to me. 🥹💖
I figured today would be a good day to show off the TTYD charms I made, which you can find in my shop alongside SPM charms. 💖

We're actually very close to our first stretch goal at 50 physical bundles sold!
If you were thinking of buying soon, you can help make the Prismrivers bookmark happen, and then we'll officially be in stretch goal territory with a new bonus every 25 orders!

Riverside Wonders 🍉 MANUFACTURING PERIOD @thriversidezine.bsky.social · Feb 8

Now for more about our stretch goals!
As more copies of the zine are pre-ordered (aka total physical bundles, not digital or a la carte), we'll include some extra goodies for free!

If we can't hit a goal during pre-orders, that's that, so spread the word if you want to see 'em!
