A nod to the Book It era…
Anyone who was in or around school age in the 80s-90s will likely remember the Book It era sponsored by Pizza Hut. Those unfamiliar with it…basically, it was a push to get kids to read more by rewarding them with a Book It sticker or button along with a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. That might not sound like anything special nowadays, but let me tell you – a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza back then… the warm lighting, Italian feel, stained glass lampshades, the overwhelming smell of comfort being baked, a sizzling pizza all to yourself, sprinkled with those crushed red pepper flakes and…

New way to help keep Steady Craftin’ going!
Steady Craftin’ is definitely a crowd-funded enterprise. We don’t take full advantage of the “make money on youtube” approach with sponsored videos (if we promote an item, it’s because we really like it – and likely didn’t make any money off of it. Maybe just a free product so we could show it off.). For years we didn’t even put in mid-roll ads because we wanted the Steady Craftin’ experience to be free of that interference when enjoying our videos. We put a LOT of hard work mixed with a few tears and a good bit of anxiety into each video because Crafsman does have a bit of a “it…

Surprise Shop Drop!
We’ve been trying for a while to be able to get a good injection molded AGUA and are happy to announce publicly (our Patrons had the pleasure of getting their hands on the first run of these) that we will periodically be releasing these tie-dye AGUAs in small runs – starting TOMORROW (10/21)! We had fun mixing colors and are really happy with the orange yellow swirls we’re getting. No two are alike! Each AGUA comes with a Crafsman sticker and packaged in a header carded bag. If you would like to get a heads up on things like this early, please consider joining our Patreon family. There are lots…

New Colorway of Pocketnaut NOW AVAILABLE!
The inspiration for this color way came from a little plastic toy front end loader. It was so pleasant to look at, we just wanted to re-create that feel in our little buddy. 😀 We’re so excited to bring this new color combination of Pocketnaut to y’all!https://shop.crafnation.com/

Pocketnaut Update!
We are excitedly in the process of changing out the black plastic in the injection machine to yellow for the upcoming Yellow and Dark Grey Pocketnaut release! This means that what we have left of the black PNs in the shop (https://shop.crafnation.com/) will be all that is available of those for a while. We also listed some B Grade black PNs in case you miss out on the packaged figures. The mixed plastic PNs in the photo are available to Patrons in our Plunderbox. To be sure that you don’t miss out on things like this or special downloads of our music and other fun things, head on over to…

THE PRE-ORDER FOR OTO7 IS LIVE!!!
Before diving into making sofubi ourselves (and with Vinyl Wonder’s help), we got the ball rolling on having OTO7 made overseas in a well established sofubi shop. We just got the word that the molds are ready and they are ready to start production! OTO7 will be 5″ tall with moveable arms – and we even have the option to offer three different colors! We’re going with Taffy Yellow, Baby Blue and Technical Grey. Of course, he’ll come with a couple few extras, including an OTO7 sticker and factory “manual”! This process could take 2-3 months, so we will keep you posted on the updates on our website (www.crafnation.com), but…

New Pocketnaut combination!
This week’s release of Pocketnauts is featuring a new color combination! Due to the diligent efforts of Crafsson and Crafsdaughter, we had a bit of leftover grey faces from the Orange and Grey production run and we really wanted to see how the extra grey faces would look with the black suits. When pairing these two colors, we couldn’t help but think of some of the great black and white films from the past. This little guy will be a nod to the pre-1966 end of that era. Go on over to shop.crafnation.com and check them out! If you guys like them, we’ll be sure to make more!

Pocketnaut Production Update!
A new batch of the Black and Orange Pocketnauts have been listed in the shop, as well as a couple of different experimental colors of some waaay too floppy Pocketnauts! The past couple of times that we’ve listed the Orange and Grey Pocketnauts, they took a little longer to sell out, so we figured that everyone who wanted one of these color combinations likely got one. It comes at a good time too, as we’ve had a little trouble lately with the circle on the front of the PN having a bubble on it – which, when popped, leaves behind a not so clean looking circle. We don’t know why…

We’ve got some talented Patrons!
A little while back, we held a contest over in Patreon and wanted to share the winners here as well. 😀 The first contest was a writing prompt: Tell the origin story of OTO7 in 1000 words or less. My goodness do we have some wonderfully talented writers as friends! Ultimately, the prize went to the son of one of our Patrons, who at 14 wrote such a compelling story that wrapped up in such a touching way, that we found ourselves tearing up. The second contest was an art prompt: Now THIS is relaxation. The winners here (and I say winners because there was a tie) really gave us…
