Hello backers, I have graded all the pins and finally have pin photos for you all!

But before those, some reminders: you should have received an email from Backerkit about your surveys. These have been unlocked, and will be locked again in 48 hours.

If you change your selections at this time or have not yet submitted your survey, and there are an insufficient number of pins to cover your selections, your pledge may be delayed. We are especially low on extras of the following pins in standard grade:

If I cannot fulfill your order, I will email you to inquire if you would prefer delaying your shipment for a few months, while additional pins are made; would like to select a different pin; or would be satisfied with a seconds grade pin instead. Please make sure you can access your Backerkit email.

Once surveys are locked again I will charge cards for anyone who purchased addons, and addresses will be locked as well. Be sure to check your payment information and shipping address are correct. If you lost your survey, you can recover it here.

Now that the pins are graded, a few notes for you all:

If you would like more information on my pin grading system, please see my About Page & FAQ.

And now without further ado, here are all the pins.

I've also posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action. Astarion and Lae'zel have been posted separately, you can find them on Instagram, Tiktok, and Tumblr as well.

Once you receive your package, feel free to contact Backerkit support if there are any issues with your rewards. They will forward your message to me. I can accommodate replacements or exchanges if needed. Please do not message me on social media or comment on the campaign page, if you do that I may miss your message.

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments. I'll be back with another update to let you know when the pins have all shipped out to you.

Good morning everyone! Just a quick update for today:
I have re-ordered the (non opening) shaker charms and they should be done in 3-5 weeks. I want to apologize again for the delay, and offer to anyone who doesn't want to wait for the new ones the option to receive a b-grade version plus a small bonus instead of waiting for the remakes. If you would like this option, please send me a message on here, Etsy, or Instagram and I will add it to your order. If you want to know what makes these charms 'b-grade' please see the previous update where I posted pictures and detailed descriptions of the manufacturing issues.

There are still 3 people who have not answered their survey. If you haven't filled out your survey, please do it ASAP!

Please check your emails for survey reminders and for errored cards. I did have a couple cards get declined when I went to lock orders, this happens sometimes, and usually you'll just need to re-enter your info and it should clear. If you haven't seen a survey email, please let me know ASAP so I can send you a link for it. Again please do this as soon as you can so I can send out your order!

Some backers have already received their orders! If you only ordered opening shakers and insert packs I will be sending your orders out in the next week or so. When you receive your order, feel free to post about it and tag me in pictures! I would love to share the keychain + insert combos you've come up with!

As always, if you have questions please let me know by commenting on this update, or messaging me on Backerkit, Etsy, or Instagram
Thank you again for your patience while I get this figured out! 

Hi everyone!

We're a little over 70% funded with 10 days to go! I'm nervous but still hopeful we can do this!
First of all, I'd like to say thank you again to everyone who has already pledged!


With every plush pledge, you'll receive a free matching charm of one of the two following designs!

You can see the four designs I've sketched up below! I've gone ahead and made polls so you can vote on which Latte and which Blorbus will become Enamel Pins! Everyone can vote, even if you haven't pledged! Everyone who has pledged for a bag will receive one enamel pin of their choice!

Please keep in mind that these are just rough sketches! The finals will be much cleaner and more consistent.

Also, a backer suggested a wonderful idea for a UFO Catcher Shaker Charm! Let me know if that's something you'd want to be a part of this campaign! I personally think it's a great idea! 

With all this being said, does anyone have any questions about the bags or the plush? I'd love to answer them!
I'm going to try really hard to promote the bags on social media in these next 10 days, we can do this!! 

Hello backers, I have another update for you all: the pins have arrived and I am in the process of grading them. There are a lot of pins so it may take me a bit to get through all of them. I will send another update with photos once all the pins are graded. You can find my pin grading policy in my About Page/FAQ, I have also copied the current version below if you have trouble accessing that link.

For now, I've posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action.
Astarion and Lae'zel have already been posted separately, you can find them on Instagram, Tiktok, and Tumblr as well.

While you're waiting, now is a great time to review your survey to make sure your address and payment information is correct. If you lost your survey, you can recover it here.

That's all for this update, as always leave me a comment if you have any questions.

I sell pins as “standard” or “seconds” grade.

Standard grade pins may have one or two tiny imperfections. These would be considered A grade. My general rule is, if a pin can be held at half-arm’s length and I cannot see the flaw, it is considered small enough for standard grade. Pins are handmade products so please do not expect a flawless item.

Seconds grade pins have more noticeable flaws, including but not limited to: smudges, specks or bubbles in the enamel, under-filled or over-filled enamel, chips or dents in metal and metal-plating, heavy tarnish, missing or mis-colored enamel, loose pin posts, fused metal, missing metal, missing varnish, uneven linework, bends, and/or scratches. Moving pins that are tough to move are considered seconds grade: for example, a spinning pin with a spinner component that does not spin freely. Seconds pins may not come with backing cards. These pins would be considered B/C grade.

I do not sell or guarantee collector’s grade (S grade) pins! Do not purchase from me if you would not be satisfied with an A grade pin.

My stockists may sell mixed grade pins for certain listings: a mix of standard and seconds grade, so A/B/C grade. Or they may sell only seconds grade pins. Please read the listing descriptions carefully.

Rainbow anodized plating is unique for every pin - no two are alike with differing metal colors. The plating may appear different than the example images shown in the listing.

Anodized and chrome plating is unique for every pin. Texture and variation in plating should be expected. The plating may appear slightly different than the example images shown in the listing, for example it may be slightly lighter or darker. White enamel on this plating may be tinted, this will not be considered a flaw.

Soft enamel with epoxy pins may have minor blemishes, bubbles, or specks in the epoxy. Small areas may not have epoxy. The surface may have variation, texture, or bumps, unlike hard enamel. There may be bits of glitter in non-glitter portions of the pin. Transparent enamel may also have these traits. Since these are unavoidable they will not be considered flaws for the purposes of grading. Epoxy overflow will not be considered a flaw as well since this is also unavoidable in some cases.

Certain plating is prone to tarnish, especially copper, silver, and rose gold plating. I will try my best to sort heavily-tarnished pins as seconds grade, but please note some tarnish may be unavoidable or develop over time if the pin is exposed to moisture and in these cases will be considered standard grade. This tarnish can be removed by gentle polishing with a jewelry cloth.

Hello again everyone! Remember like, two days ago when I said the opening charms should arrive next Tuesday? Well DHL came through and they actually arrived yesterday! I've already gone through everything, counting, sorting and the likes, and it all looks great! I've even taken a few photos to get everyone excited:

They look even more amazing in person! 
I have noticed with the Bat design that the open area (tummy) is a little small and while each insert pack of three will fit inside, the flowers are a bit tight and won't bounce around as much as another pack will. All the other packs will fit just fine in the Bat's tummy but since it's a small space you won't be able to put multiple packs in at one time. 

With all the opening charms here, I plan on shipping orders out as early as Monday! I will also be charging cards today or tomorrow so please keep an eye out for an email saying your payment failed- sometimes glitches happen and you'll just need to put your card number in again.

I am still waiting to hear back from the other manufacturer about the flawed shaker charms so if you ordered one of those, it will be a bit longer before you receive your order. Again, if you are okay with a 'b-grade' shaker charm, I will send you one with a bonus gift instead of having you wait for them to be remade which may take between 3 and 6 weeks to make and ship to me. If you want to change your pledge/ order please let me know and I can unlock your survey so you can make adjustments!
If anyone has any questions please feel free to message me here, on Etsy, or on my Instagram and I will get back to you as soon as I can!
