Here's the sample of the Lammily wheelchair from the manufacturer! The tooling, the hardest and most time consuming part is complete. Now the only thing that's left are color adjustments and approving the sample on our end! Once the sample is approved we'll announce when the wheelchairs will be shipped to all backers. Thank you so much for your patience and making this revolutionary toy a reality! You did it!

We spoke with our factory early this morning, which gave us an update on the molds which will be used to manufacture the wheelchair...
3 of the 4 molds are completed and fully functioning. The parts are injecting and releasing with no issues.
The 4th mold is just being fine tuned for production. This mold had some issues which have now been addressed. It should only be a day or so
until fully functioning parts are manufactured and ready for review.
This last tool has been difficult but is now done with troubleshooting and near completion. Our factory has been in the tool shop for many, many days
working on this to make sure it meets and exceeds our expectations.
In the meantime, the delay is frustrating because the shipping timeline will need to be revised again, but we're happy we're on the very latter stages of production.
We think that by the end of the week we'll receive the production sample so we can finally hit the green light on production and shipping. Stayed tuned!

Right now we're waiting to approve the sample from the manufacturer before hitting the green light on production. In the meantime, here's a sneak peak at what the packaging looks like! It's designed by artist Yelena Lamm, who has made the packaging for all Lammily products.

Today we got photos from the manufacturer of the tooling molds! The next step is to receive a sample we approve of before production begins.
Thank you to all the backers who've made this all possible!

In December 2016, over 700 backers pledged $29,568 to bring back the fashion doll wheelchair for the first time since 1997, when it was discontinued by Mattel.
This past weekend we received an updated timeline from the manufacturer regarding tooling and shipping...
Tooling Complete - June 23
Production Sample Approved- July 5
Safety Testing Complete - July 7
Wheelchairs shipped to warehouse - July 17
Wheelchairs shipped to backers - July 21
The wheelchair is constructed of many intricate parts, and insuring proper alignment in connecting pieces during the tooling process took longer than we originally expected.
Now that we are at the exciting tail end of the manufacturing, we'll keep you updated on the production, the awesome packaging, and any other news we receive from the manufacturer regarding the release of the only fashion doll wheelchair on the market.
Thank you for your patience and for changing the world, one toy at a time!
Best,
