🎊  Happy New Year Vilous!  🎊

Another year has come and gone! It’s been an exciting one for everyone,  with a plethora of new lore releases, a lengthy manga episode, and  several new products in the BoldKobold store. 

🔅 Midwest Furfest Recap: Mick & Kiki visit the US!

We had the extreme pleasure of escorting Mick & Kiki to the Midwest  FurFest convention this December, giving both a chance to meet fans, sell traditional artworks,  and have some nice American adventures. While it was a delight to host  them, we do hope another visit will be possible in the future.  We will  be sure to inform fans where to see them, if this works out!

🔅 Recent and New Merchandise

This upcoming year should be a good one, rich with more lore and artwork for everyone to enjoy!  As an accompaniment to the Sergal Anatomy Guide,  we are expecting to finish the Nevrean Anatomy Guide, complete with  specifics for both genders of the Nevrean race. We do finally have  physical prints of the Sergal Anatomy Guide poster, so please check out the listing online, these are limited in stock!

In case you missed our prior announcements, we did release a couple new dakimakuras in the BoldKobold Store  last year, including a very sweet sleepover combo of Jakk and Quu and  one very nice pinup of Officer Kadd, a couple shirts, and a few enamel  sergal pins. You can find these and more at the BoldKobold online store and at conventions during the year. 

🔅 Upcoming Events

We hope to showcase more traditional artwork  from our Vilous creators, especially in a couple art shows at furry  conventions across the country this year. Being able to attend conventions from the Dealers Den has been a real treat, both in working  with artists to coordinate products, and to show clients & fans  face-to-face just how high quality our products really are. 

Members from the Vilous Team definitely plan on attending the following  conventions, to hold the Vilous/Sergal education panels, meet &  greet panels, and for some, feature as vendors in the convention  DealerDens for folks to get a first look at new BoldKobold products and  save on shipping costs.

🔅 Introducing New Team Member: MetroPex

As some exciting news, we have added a new member to the Vilous Team!   MetroPex has been creating fan-made YouTube videos concerning the Vilous  world and we are delighted to include him in our team of folks striving  to connect with fans and assist Mick & Kiki in expanding Vilous  from a small dream to one we all can share.

Metro is truly wonderful to work with and has displayed a wonderfully  passionate enthusiasm in his efforts in making introductory Vilous  videos for fans. As an official Team Member going forward, his videos  (both past and present) will be lore-accurate, working with the Team to  ensure all included information is up-to-date canon and fact-checked for  everyone to enjoy!  This should offer fans another fantastic resource  to utilize in their exploration of Vilous!

You can find Metro’s YouTube channel here,  with plenty of Vilous content currently uploaded and more to come! We  look forward to future collaborations and videos from him!

At the end of the day, we’ve come a good way from where things started,  but we have a good direction ahead of us. We all look forward to working  with fans and artists alike in the future, and helping to continue  saturating the world of Vilous. 

Thank you,

Your Vilous Team
