NEARLY 3 YEARS AGO…

​Yo honey bear,

Nearly three years ago, we went to New York Comic Con preparing to bring Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas™ | Civil Regime to life.

Our team showed up as Jack and Sally. We left clues throughout the weekend, and if you were following Civil back then, you probably already knew what we were building.

Then, the day before we were supposed to release the collection, we posted one word: POSTPONED. That was it...

For nearly three years, I’ve watched you guys continue to ask about it. Every time Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas™ came up, somebody would ask when the collection was coming back.

Some of you probably thought it never would. But I never forgot about it.

​What makes finally sharing this collection with you so special isn’t just how long it’s been. It’s how naturally this story has always connected to Civil and the community we’ve built around it.

Jack is celebrated by everyone around him, yet he still feels like something is missing. Sally understands what it feels like to want something beyond the world that has been decided for you. At the heart of their story are two characters trying to understand themselves, where they belong, and who truly understands them.

That has always felt close to home for us. Civil was built for the casted out, the misunderstood, and the people who never completely fit the mold. Over the years, those same people became the Honey Bears and turned this brand into a place where a lot of us found our people.

Roses From Concrete. Blooming Through Chaos.

Now, nearly 1,200 days after that weekend in New York, we finally get to show you what we’ve been building. Monday at 12PM PT, the full collection preview opens. All 75 styles.

And if you haven’t signed up yet, signing up guarantees you Early Access before the collection opens to everyone Friday.

I’ve waited a long time to finally be able to write this email. See you Monday, Honey Bears. 🎃🥀
