Hi guys! Thank you so much for supporting this project ^-^ the campaign has successfully ended.
Pledge Payment Processing Backerkit has already processed your pledges! There were 24 failed charges in total. If your pledge was among them, please fix it as soon as possible 💛 you can also fix it later during the survey phase.
Surveys In the survey you can tell me which pins you want, which add-ons you want (if you pre-selected them in your pledge), your address and if you want to add any extra add-ons or extra pins :) I'll soon start sending out the survey smoke test. Some of you will receive the survey a little earlier (in the next few days) to test it and check for any bugs or errors. Once this testing phase is complete, you will all receive your surveys to fill out. ^-^
Shipping Shipping costs will be charged once the pins are on their way to me. This means that I can account for any fluctuations in shipping prices and that you won't need to pay everything up front during the first survey phase. I didn't pledge for the campaign, is there a way for me to still grab the pins? Yes, there is! I have already set up a pre-order shop – you can access it here! The pre-order shop will stay open until the survey deadline. Pins and other add-ons purchased from the pre-order store will be sent out with all the other backers rewards, around July.
Do you have any questions? Let me know in the comments!
I’m happy to announce that some of the pins have arrived today!
There are 3 pins yet I am still waiting for; the treasure hunt, the pond lurker, and the Quacksune collab pins. The treasure hunt and pond lurker both had to have a slight mold change, and the quacksune samples were sent to me for approval before mass printing was completed. I do have 2 pictures of the progress on those though!
Shipping Schedule:
I will be locking addresses for everyone who didn’t have the final 3 pins on Sunday, May 31st, and then I’ll start getting these out. I generally drop off packages once a week on Tuesdays, but I’ll try to squeeze another weekly shipment in. With plush, the packages are a little larger, so there will probably be smaller bursts of package dropoffs going out weekly.
Just a reminder that if you have any questions or issues with your items, please email me at [email protected] so I can get back to you asap. I try to keep track of the community tab here on backerkit, but we don’t always receive notifications and posts tend to get buried under older ones without us noticing.
Thank you, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
We finally have some progress pics of the pins! The centaur progress pic is a little grainy because he sent me a video, so I had to do my best to screenshot her.
Hello shrimp enjoyers!! Since it's been another month, I just wanted to post another quick update!
Since the last update, the additional shrimp pair stock and big shrimp plush have arrived! :) As soon as we got them, we started shipping shrimp again, and we are now sitting at 65% shipped (or shrimped?)! Hoping to have good progress again for the next update. :)
How to Contact!
If you run into any issues, feel free to email me at "[email protected]" with your backer name and/or email mentioned. But you're still welcome to use Backerkit's message system if you find that easier! :)
That's all I have for this update! Wishing you a shrimpy day!
I don't have any completed photos yet, but these production photos are looking really promising! I'm stoked about that octopus. Look what a heckin chonker he is!
This was a huge order, so I don't anticipate seeing pins in-hand for a couple months yet. I can spy some raw rays in the background of the owl photo, but we know this isn't all the designs. 😆 So there's still much work to be done.
What's on the horizon?
I've already begun work sketching out designs for Pintopia 2027. If you're a Pokemon fan, you have an excellent chance at guessing what next year's theme will be. 👀
I'm also launching my first ita bag tomorrow!
It's an ita dice bag, inspired by a d4. And it comes with an ita portfolio (think: an elevated traperkeeper), that's great for work, school, or more tabletop shenanigans.
I like to make a monthly update but there's not much to say on this one right now - everything's underway in the background and there won't be any updates for a while. Its busy season so production this time of year takes some time.
Coconut octopus did fund, the two alt flamboyant cuttlefish didn't - I'll probably pick the cuttlefish with most backers and fund it myself, and cancel the other.
Now its just a waiting game, so I'll keep you posted :).
