Ding Dong, The Tariffs Are Dead! Tigger Too Production Update!

As many of you know, the tariffs that were imposed last year created an enormous financial burden for our projects. Across everything we have in production, those tariffs added nearly $100,000 in additional costs, which forced all of our projects, including Wisdom of Pooh & Tigger Too Tarot, into a holding pattern while we tried to find a path forward.

During my last update, I had indicated that the decks would go into production on February 24th.  However, because the U.S. Supreme Court was scheduled to rule on the constitutionality of those tariffs, I made the decision to pause and wait for that ruling before committing to production. If the tariffs were struck down, it would dramatically change the financial reality for us.

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs were unconstitutional. That decision changed everything. The removal of those tariffs going forward saves us tens of thousands of dollars across our remaining productions. That shift is what finally allows us to move forward with Wisdom of Pooh & Tigger Too and the other projects that have been paused since last spring.

There is another important piece of context I want to share as well, because it helps explain how our production schedule works. We work with two different printers, each chosen very intentionally.

The majority of pour projects (with the exception of our Earth, Moon, & Shadow Oracle), are printed using a very small, family-owned and operated print shop in Shenzhen, China. We chose this printer very deliberately. They are not a giant factory running endless production lines. They are a small shop run by a family that genuinely cares about their people and the quality of the projects they produce. From the very beginning it was clear that they take enormous pride in their craftsmanship, and that mattered deeply to us when deciding who we wanted to partner with.

However, being a small shop also means they simply cannot run multiple large productions at the same time. Unlike larger factories, they need to complete one project before beginning the next. Because of that, we have to space our projects out in their production queue.

With the tariffs now lifted and our printer’s schedule confirmed, we are finally able to lock in the production timeline for Wisdom of Pooh & Tigger Too Tarot.

Here is the updated schedule:

📅 Updated Timeline for the Wisdom of Pooh & Tigger Too Tarot

Production Start: June 1, 2026
Production Duration: ~45–60 days
(Estimated completion: July 15 – July 30, 2026)

Fulfillment Begins: Immediately upon arrival

As soon as the decks arrive here at our studio, we will begin fulfillment right away.

I know this project has taken longer than any of us originally hoped, and I want you to know how deeply grateful I am for the patience, kindness, and encouragement so many of you have shown along the way. The past year brought challenges none of us could have predicted, but the lifting of the tariffs finally gives us the breathing room to move forward again.

Thank you for sticking with us through this journey. It truly means more than I can say.
