Both sinister and more than a little unnerving, @dreadtheempire.bsky.social 's Ghaunt is still fascinating and frightfully seductive.

A Ghaunt sits in deep shades of purple and red in a moody setting.

Here's the final notice that our drop is TONIGHT at 6pm CST, in roughly 6 hours from this post! Instead of the usual final teaser, here's what the thermal colorways look like when hot. Both have "thermal" in the colorway name, and will include an example photo in the listing🖤🩷

I believe that one’s the petite, but we’ve got one in every size for that color 💜

Sorry for the late teaser, I hauled butt on monday so we could play Control! It's so visually arresting and fun. Are you enthralled by the rainbowy Intoxicating Paranatural Resonance, or does a Ghostly Pale Stranger catch your attention? Catch one tomorrow at 6pm CST!

The gold/black is only on Heralds this round, but if they sell well I'll probably do something similar for halloween!

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Here's another round of soft moody colors colors for this week's drop, including another black tipped thermal set! Get equipped this thursday at 6pm CST💜

It's monday, and time for our drop announcement! This month's drop is this thursday the 24th at 6pm CST. I'm including a bunch of thermal effects this round, with a ton of colors inspired by Control, Silent Hill and Resident Evil💜

Shorks spotted thanks to @dreadtheempire.bsky.social ! We caught a Twofer making it Toofer Tuesday as well. Helios is such a unique model and the new small Thresher is a very welcome addition. 🦈

Same! We also just saw Hope which was awesome, time to add a few blue toys to the pour list 💜

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Dang, it's september already!? Does it count as spooky season yet? I hope so. Personally, I'm excited for Control Resonant and Silent Hill Townfall releasing this month. Anyone else?

It’s been so long since I’ve seen a proper outbirk, honestly.

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Welcome aboard! I currently stick to roughly once a month drops, so you won’t have to wait long 💜

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Oh heck I missed this comment, I’m sorry! There wasn’t for this color; with the amount of Thiggs already in stock I have to focus my efforts on low stock/sold out models. 😅

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I’m honestly so happy you recognized it 🥰

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

One of each size and firmness! I wanted to do more, but travel cut into production this month 💜

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Final drop alert! Our fresh batch of toys will shower into the drop at 6pm CST, which is roughly 6.5 hours from this post if you need to set an alarm 🌟💜

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

But good news Volente fans: I made the rest of the size line (sans black scale paint), and they will all be available in the drop💜 Don't miss the new stock tomorrow at 6PM CST!

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Someone asked, so I'll post the answer with today's teaser: our imperial size Volente photo updated on the site. Unfortunately it won't be for sale, it's a special anniversary gift for Cinna with one of her fave monster's colors. This toy took 12 hours of work before final cure!

Surprising nobody, I wasn't able to get any great photos of the meteor shower. But that didn't stop me from taking inspiration! A cute set of Milky Way Sparkling toys will be included this thursday the 27th at 6PM CST🌠

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

I hope everyone had a good weekend! To close out monday, here's the announcement that our meteor shower drop will fall into the store thursday the 27th at 6PM CST. I'm including a little bit of everything, from naturals to desert dawn pastels to deeply rusted machinery💜

“Usable: why are you using this” Look… the hole wants what the hole wants you can’t judge me 🤣 But I really hope the stitches fix you up easy and they gave you some good painkillers! ER visits are the worst.

Back from our meteor shower watching trip! It was an amazing time going off grid and getting forced to disconnect and stare at space. Spent a lot of daytime reading, painting, camp cooking, and digging up some rare calcite pieces💜 (all orders have shipped today too!)

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Quick Announcement Time: We’re headed off to vacation off-grid for the rest of the week! We will respond to orders, messages, etc on monday when we get back 💜

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

We do still have some extra Gen Con Jayvik Riftbound proxy business cards, so they will be going to requested, Defender and Herald orders from this past drop while supplies last.

0201

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

We're back from Gen Con! It was a blast seeing everyone there, whether friends or fans or curious passerby. DTE is going to take a day to sleep off the thousands of steps walked, pack orders tomorrow and get them all out the door wednesday. Thank you for your patience!

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Oh heck, what classes?? (feel free to DM us too, haha)

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Thank you everyone for the lovely drop day! We’re going to be roaming Gen Con for the rest of the week. If you see us, come get free proxy cards and wee weenies! Leftovers will be dropped into Defender and Herald (or requested) orders before we ship out next week💜

It never went down as far as I saw, probably just a blip with Shopify?

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

The display model? I definitely want to do more production colors like that one sometime, but he was a mold stress test and I promise you don’t want him 😅 Public ambassador grade toy, lmao.

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Thank you! These are real physical toys that will be stocked in my shop in an hour and a half.

I'm definitely real! No AI will ever be allowed on this account.

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Absolutely! I was able to standardize Pale Gearhead and Golden Boy pretty well, so I intend to keep making them as long as folks want them 💜

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Soft, and there's one in every size for this color!

First teaser to get through monday! A lot of moody, shifting abyssal colors to start Shark Week strong. What will you dredge up from the depths this wednesday? ⚓︎

37614

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

All models are now live on the website, including new lore for Leviathan, Thresher and Helios! The Shark Week drop will include plenty of the new toys, a nearly complete restock of Defender and Herald, and a wide assortment of all other models in colors dredged from the depths🌊

1180

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Next up is our new toy, Helios the helicoprion! Helios works wonderfully whether you prefer a mini penetrable, a grinder with mini insertable, or as a bullet vibe cover. Mix and match your options and explore the depths with your new acquaintance💙

1375

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

First off, small Thresher has been updated to match the model. We're also unveiling LARGE size Thresher! This beast is our heaviest toy ever made, and will be incredibly limited due to effort and cost to produce. Once large sells out, they may not surface again until next year.

1225

Dread The Empire @dreadtheempire.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

It's time for our Shark Week drop announcements! Our next drop will be in a week on July 29th, at 6PM CST 🦈
