The first half of the shipments have been sent off! Ill be sending off the second and final half once i return from my buisness trip to Toronto on Wednesday!
Thanks so much for the patience!! ✨✨
Once orders have been finished leftover stock will be put up on my personal shop so look out for that by the end of the month!
Sorry for the lack of communication on my end. To be completely honest but without getting too deep into things, I was going through a mental health struggle the past few weeks that made it hard to do much of anything, even the things I enjoy. Thankfully spring is starting to bloom and I’m taking better care of my mind and body. The world can be kinda crazy, I hope you all are taking care of yourselves, too.
Final merch update: I just received the Johnny socks in the mail and they look and feel fantastic! With that, I now have all the merchandise in my hands ready to ship, so that process will now finally begin, for real this time!
As a thanks for everyone’s patience, I am including a free bonus Johnny Joestar clear sticker with every order to celebrate the release of the Steel Ball Run anime, as well as a 15% off coupon code for my online store that’s good until the end of the year. Look forward to receiving your packages and all the goodies inside. Every order will be shipped out by the end of this week, so expect your update with tracking soon!
Thank you all for making this project the huge success that it was and putting your faith in me. I hope you enjoy the pins as much as I had fun making them. You are all stars to me!
Thank you so much for being as patient as you are. I deeply apologize for the long wait for an update on this project. (TLDR: Personal details aside, all products are currently in the manufacturing stage and another update will be posted once everything is finalized and ready to ship out. Please finish your survey if you haven’t already.)
I’m still committed to following through with this project and hope that the finished product is something we can all look forward to. The timing of everything was just a little unfortunate as I had sent out the surveys mid-November. Then by mid-December, only 70% of backers had finished their surveys. With the holidays just around the corner, I decided to take this time to wait on the last chunk of people to finish up while I go flying in and out of state for a big convention the weekend before Christmas (wow), and then finally give myself a well-needed break.
Then January hits, and it hit hard.
I prefer to not share too many personal details, so in short, in the past couple months I’ve been dealing with some medical issues and then very recently grieving a family member. It’s been incredibly difficult to get any work done, and I have a bad habit of shutting myself out from everyone when I’m at my wits end. I do work alone and it’s admittedly discouraging to watch the work pile up so high on my plate, but now I’m doing my best to take it on bit by bit. Again, the delay for this project was neither planned nor communicated to you all and I’m really sorry about that. I feel fortunate enough that I am even able to take breaks like this, it’s just not the ideal scenario.
On a related note, there is still a small handful of you that have yet to fill out their surveys. You guys are more than welcome to take your time, just be aware that I will not be able to ship out your goods until those are filled out and done. For everyone else, I’ll be locking orders in the next day or so. If you need to do an address change, this would be the time to do so. The company that manufactures everything had been on a month long break for Chinese New Year, and starting March they’re now resuming their work and will soon give me some new updates, hopefully with any new photos of the merch. When that time comes, I’ll be sure to provide another update. It’s been a long time comin but I’m excited to see the end product.
Thank you again for your time and patience with me, and I’m eternally grateful for the support I receive that makes my projects possible. As always, I hope you get the chance to relax today and I wish you all a stress-free week. Of course if anyone needs some assistance regarding their order, please feel free to either email me here: [email protected] or refer to the campaign page for any general questions.
So we are currently waiting on the rest of the add-ons to arrive this month, unfortunately it took longer than expected due to them being backlogged at the manu and lunar new year. Funny enough the ones that normally take longer (pins and stands) were here way earlier than the rest. The point is that orders should be shipping out around the end of the month! Sorry for the delays, but the goodies are coming soon!!
Hey all!! Just giving a lil update that orders are still being packed and worked on, the blizzard that hit the east cost (specially nj area) burried us for quite a long time aaaa.
Thankfully the second blizzard supposedly coming up has turned into rain?? So i can finally make trecks to the post office hopefully by the end of the weekend!
Are there any updates on this project? It's been several months since we last heard anything and I'd like to know where things are at. No pressure or anything!!! Even an update saying not much progress has been made due to life is better than nothing at all :)
Hey all got another update!!! Phone charms and stickers have made it safely to me wooooo.
Now just waiting on the ribbons which ive been told should be here by feb 1st so fingers crossed that! Afterwards yall can start expecting items to start shipping to ya!
HELLO BACKERS! Long time no see! Sorry for the lack of updates, to make it up to you, I'm coming at you with the update of ALL updates! There's three major things to go over:
FIRST: The pins have been made and have finally arrived to my house! They came out so stunning and I'm very pleased with the results! I'm so happy we were able to fund the full set, they look amazing all together! :D
I hope you all will enjoy your pins once they get to you! Speaking of which, let's talk about shipping.
I currently have on hand almost all of the merch included in the pledges and add-ons: this includes the pins, stickers, and badge ribbons. The only piece of merch I am waiting on are the socks, but I anticipate that I should be getting those soon. I am currently in the middle of some rather big projects (which I will discuss in a second!), so shipping will start at the end of January/beginning of February. I thank you all for your patience!
Did you miss out on any of the pins or stickers from this campaign and wish you could get them at a low price? Boy, do I have news for you then...
SECOND: Mark your calendars: I'm having a HUGE sale on my online store to celebrate my birthday! One day only, Friday January 23rd! 25% EVERYTHING! Runs from midnight EST until 11:59PM EST, no coupon required! All of the mini pins and stickers from the mini BIZARRE STARS campaign will be listed on the shop, so consider my special day your lucky day to snag anything you might've missed!
THIRD: Want more of my pins? You're in luck: I am participating in my first even Pintopia campaign, running from January 22nd - February 12th, titled WELCOME TO THE NEXT LEVEL. This time around I'm going back to my roots with a campaign that celebrates the world's most famous hedgehog and all his colorful friends. In the coming days I will be unveiling all the designs, and I have special incentives for those who follow the campaign before launch and back within the first 48 hours which will be unveiled over the week via launch party!
Hey guys hope your holidays were great and happy late new year!!!
Stickers and ribbons are now cooking in the oven and pins have successfully been graded and packed up for shipping,everything is going by smoothly and we’re hoping to get everything shipped out for early feb schedule !
