Project Update: Welcome & Thank You! - Funded in an Hour :D

Hey friends! Thank you so much for jumping into the early birds for the campaign! These have been something I've been pushing around in my head and working on/poking at for over 2.5 years, so it's nice to finally get them into production. It was a bit of an unexpected campaign on our end, but I appreciated the push from Pintopia to finally get it off the ground.

Also! Already got to the sticker milestone, so huzzah! :D

Before I ramble more, there are incentives for pledging into more than one campaign! This is the first campaign grouping of its type to have multiple campaigns all tied together, so that's been a lot of fun to see. So if you like freebie pins, that's open to you - the incentives are at the bottom of our story blurb. I personally grabbed some cats (as a surprise to... who?) and I think it let most of you know that (oops). 

That all said, there are a few small things that I wanted to clarify with campaign:

  • The MAXMIMUM number of pins that I'll take on during the campaign is roughly 150 per pin (with a slight tolerance). There wasn't an ability to individually flag quantity counts in tiers, so I'll be keeping an eye on them. This is because there is a 250 LE quantity cap for individual fan merch items, as directed by Genshin itself, and I intend to stick to that. 150-175 is roughly what I'd be comfortable with while having a buffer for defects. If we cross the 150/pin threshold, you'll see tiers vanish, even if there are days remaining.

    The pins, even if there was additional interest at a later date, will not be restocked for a second run for any reason (unless the pins need to be remade, of which we'll handle and communicate that if it occurs). There likely will NOT be a preorder store, and will NOT have (many?) standard in-hand due to how strict my grading scale is.

  • Because of this LE cap, I wanted to know whether or not you guys would like the central piece stamped with an LE number on the back. Since it's an additional cost to do so, it will just be the center piece featuring this detail, not the left or right sections. You can vote in the poll! (We would absorb this charge, if it's something you guys would like.)

  • Lastly, due to the sheer complexity of the pins, please note that timelines are anticipated to be around September (but can be longer), as noted in our initial information. I'll keep everyone up to tabs with this, and will include any production updates as I get them. I also always post product shots to Discord when I get them, and you're welcome to join at any time if you want to take a peek. You'll probably start seeing these in a few months once sampling has progressed. 

    Sometime in the coming month I'll be making a channel to cover new projects from this year, so you can keep up-to-date there. Regardless, you're always welcome to ask about progress. Our last year was very complicated with chronic illnesses trying to be far too friendly, alongside multiple life changes at every turn; it's a new year and it's one we're hoping will be filled with less stressful situations and 85 hour work weeks (lol).

All in all, thank you for being part of this experience! :D Super excited to bring this one to life.
