Production Update: Where Things Stand

I wanted to take a moment to share a production update, as it’s been a bit since the last one — not because things were forgotten, but because the status genuinely hasn’t changed much until now.

 

The good news: production samples are officially on the way and should be arriving within the next week or so.

Over the past several weeks, the manufacturer has been working through quality issues related to a new printing process. While this has caused delays, the focus has been on ensuring the final product meets the standard I want Manifest TCG to represent. I’d rather take extra time now than rush something that isn’t right.

Based on the photos and videos I’ve already received, I expect there may be a few refinements needed once the physical samples arrive. That’s normal at this stage and exactly why samples exist — to catch and correct issues before full production begins.

Once I receive the samples and complete a hands-on review, I’ll be able to:

• Confirm final quality and finishes
• Request any necessary adjustments
• Lock in the timeline for full production

At that point, I’ll share a clearer release window and next steps.

I truly appreciate everyone’s patience and support. This project has always been about doing things the right way, even when that means moving slower than planned. I’m excited to get these in hand and move into the final stretch.

More updates soon — and thank you for sticking with Manifest TCG.
