Back in July and August Matt Martin told everyone that tweeted at him asking about Snowman to "go ask EVS the book has been done for six months", so at this point the book probably been done for about a year now.
After Matt tweeted the announcement of it going to print soon in August I went back to look for those tweets, but he had deleted them.
I'll try to locate it later, but I recall someone recently posted a video on Twitter EVS made (possibly January 2023). And apparently EVS ordered at least 10,000 extra CyberFrog 2 books than he needed for the campaign. Based on the video EVS made, the warehouse he had the pallets in was packed. Will guess about half of that would eventually go out. But that kind of checks out with not ordering the Snowman book then because of lack of space. I don't know if he had the second warehouse at that point or if he got it for the toys. A lot of which are possibly still unsold at this point.
While there is a chance that he spent some or most of the money. I'm starting to lean more and more on him just not having the space for stuff anymore. Will be interesting to see if those posters actually get printed and go out in April/May since of all the campaigns. That really should be the easiest to fulfill. They'll probably already come in a tube too. So it's just a matter in most cases of just slapping a label on the tube and sending it on its merry way. A retarded monkey can do that.
Found it.
I was going to try and add up the comic orders based on the campaigns, but he has too many variants making me not want to waste my time on it. So am going to just go with what the guy that posted this said and keep it at 10,000 to sell after the campaign.
The forced meme of NDA is so cringe. What's the point? Afraid people won't buy it if details are described? The absurdity of these youtube products and their inability to just fucking make a thing and sell it without making it a circus. Legit comic book companies do ordinarily launch a shit load of different titles so in that respect the Rippaverse gets closer to being a real comic book operation than any of the comicsgaters. Even this garbage announcement owns
@FROG maybe it will trigger him into launching yet another diminishing returns title people won't see for 5+ years.
I think the NDA thing is meant to be fun, but to also build hype. Get people to talk about stuff which in turn helps get the stuff trending on Twitter and maybe YouTube/elsewhere. I don't know if the trending stuff on Twitter is localized or based on who you follow. But practically everyday for the last week or two I've been seeing nothing but Rippaverse, Yaira, or Eric July on the trending tab.
It is interesting that that, despite Mac looking good for 36 and being a conservative "Christian" woman, she's got tattoos, recently dyed her hair red and is still single.
Early on, she mentioned that she was married at some point. But it didn't work out. Can't recall if she got more specific than that. And won't talk about it beyond that because it'd be one sided and not fair to the guy. But who knows. Could have been religious reasons. He or she did something. Something else.
