Will The Lost Boys plushes ever be available again?
No. The only plushes that I will ever manufacture and will sell again are going to be those to fulfill orders placed between the July 31st through August 14th 2024 period— said time frame was the last chance to purchase them before they are discontinued.
I'm aware this is very unfortunate news to those recently just learning of them, though I am sincerely flattered by the overwhelming support and interest in the project and would like to express my thanks.
> How come they are discontinued?
A major reason is on account of the newly introduced tariffs among the United States and China. I am based in the U.S., and the manufacturers of the plushes are Chinese. Therefore, if I was to run pre-orders again, I would have to increase the price of them to what I would consider a very unreasonable amount in order to justify the copious production costs.
> What if the tariffs are lifted?
The decision to discontinue them was determined in July 2024. Due to a myriad of pragmatic and personal reasons I have decided to devote myself to new and other projects.
Again, I'm aware this comes as a disappointment. However, I am considering the drafting and release of the patterns for their designs so as to replicate them for personal use. Any discussions/updates/etc about this specific plan will likely be on my Tumblr blog.
Are these affiliated with Warner Bros.?
No. This is a fan project initiated and managed solely by myself; the only other party involved are the manufacturers of the plushes based on the designs I provided.

[4-30-25]: As the orders continue to make their ways to their destinations, I am keeping the store site along with the contact form available for customers in the event any issue arises with their order. Any incoming inquiries that concern things discussed within the FAQ section (now moved to the top of this page) will be disregarded.
[4-24-25; 10 AM PST]: All orders have been dropped off! Additionally, as of couple days ago everyone who has ordered should have an email from BigCartel with a tracking number as well.
[4-21-25]: Major apologies about the delay! All orders have been packaged sans labels; shipping will begin soon in chronological order (in terms of when pre-order was placed). Thus, emails from BigCartel regarding shipment updates proper should be trickling in soon (~1 week) as well.
[1-31-2025]: All the plushes are now in my possession! Please allow for some time for me to add finishing touches/prepare freebies/package and finalize orders. Shipment/dispatch updates will continue to be noted here as they are fulfilled!
[1-20-2025]: Now waiting for the complete plush shipment from the manufacturer!
[1-8-2025]: Production and quailty assurance with the manufacturer has been completed! The shipment process is expected to start soon.

[12-18-24]: The supplier has informed me that most of the plushes are completed and quality inspection—the last step before shipping—will be conducted soon!
[11-10-24]: Apologies for a belated update!! A demanding school workload and some intense recent personal life stuff has been happening that derailed things a bit. Plush production for this new batch has resumed at this point, though the initial estimate may be delayed for about a month, but fingers crossed the whole order will be ready for shipment by the end of December.
