Based on experience, this means that an arrival and customs clearance of the ocean shipments in Germany and in the US is unlikely to happen before end of December 2025.

Thank you all for your patience, especially if you were amongst those who ordered early!

The Zoeys are currently being screen-printed, before being shipped to the factory for assembly, air-testing, and packaging following the recent 10-day hiatus (due to the holidays). We currently anticipate a shipping date from China in late October.

Pre-order update (Zoey, Nami, blue horses, gothic pool)

The delivery date for these items will most likely be Jan. 2026 now. Because of excessive time needed for controlling the final Zoey screen-printing sample, DHL Express delays, and Chinese holidays we used up our entire 8-week buffer.

#SqueakySaturday throwback to 2017, with one of the three punk ponies - this one made by @actionmartini.bsky.social. It still lives happily with its owner and creator (in the background).

Apparently, many people are not aware of him, his pooltoy designs, and his art. This needs to change. We'll be showcasing some of his work here this month, also for those that have not been around for long enough to have followed Arin's 20-year long track record of making furry and pooltoy art.

For those that are unaware of it: it is our 10th anniversary this month. 🎂

None of this would have been possible without
@actionmartini.bsky.social. Without his inspired designs and his advice on so many other designs there probably wouldn't have been very many horseplay toys. If any.

Post-con cooling off with an informal "beach panel". @actionmartini.bsky.social @dariomouse.bsky.social @tuftmouse.bsky.social were great company on this wonderful day. So were Arin's stable toys. Very stable. In the water. 😬

Unexpectedly popular... AIM 54 missile by Tazinas @dariomouse.bsky.social and Disgrace showing it some love. ❤️🚀

Ultimately it stood no chance against the dreaded Deflator Mouse. 🐭💨

Sort of on topic for #Eurofurence29

The pool was popular... there hardly seemed to be a time when it was not occupied.

Swiff & Flipchip chilling in the gothic pool that clearly has space for two!

And the greatest thanks to @actionmartini.bsky.social - for being along for the ride for exactly 10 years now, starting it all with his iconic horse design for us in 2015.
