Quick update: I'm now just waiting on a few final items before I begin shipping orders.
The latest round of samples has arrived, and I'm thrilled with how they turned out!!!! I hope you'll feel the same! A few of the stickers didn't print correctly on this run, so those are being redone so it may delay things a tad... I'd rather take the extra time now than send out anything that doesn't meet my standards.
One note on presentation: these pieces (like my CRT-style designs) rely on a lenticular/optical effect that reads much better in person than in photos or video the shift and depth just don't translate the same way through a screen. Which is why on my etsy and website I use 3D renders to best show the transition... So trust. They look epic once they are in your hands! SOOOON! Additionally still waiting on the Polaroid Pikachu and Politoed.
Thanks for your patience as I get everything finalized!
Apologies for the speed there is a 10 mb limit on size

Hey guys! So the mini pins are here. I'm currently having to move into an airbnb due to flooding in my house which has kind of messed things up in my life, though I think I can still do fulfillment at the airbnb! Here's a picture I took of the pins!
Its been a minute and figured now that I actually have SOME of the sample images from the manu I figured its time to share what we have all been waiting for.
Note these are works in progress and they have not applied the black nickel to it... so these are unfinished samples everything will look MUCH better when finished so please do not worry that it looks weird I promise its gonna look epic in the end.... alright now that I am done priming you lol here they are!
Work in progress (NOT FINISHED)

Also the lenticular batch will be here in the next week or so... so I shall give you an update there. Additionally I am admittedly better at sending updates via my Instagram so if you wanna give me a follow there you can see all the current stuff I am working on for the next project.
So everything has been sent off. I am expecting it all to be done roughly around the same time but funnily enough it may be the stickers that might be the last to arrive. Surprisingly everything else has been ZOOOMING through production.
Once again thanks for your support and patience! I look forward to sharing more with you all!
Thank you for backing this idea helping it to come alive this is just a small update to keep you in the know how of what's going on.
I have placed the pin order to the pin manufacture and I am awaiting on feed back as well as a knock up of the design colours to go over with them thoroughly due to how big this order is due to joint campaign ordering.
If you have an idea you would like to share to improve on this concept or take it in a new direction don't hesitate to comment!
Smoke tests have been sent out! It took a little longer than I was anticipating, but they should have been sent to about 5% of you. If all looks well, I'll send out the remaining surveys in a couple days!
I've also got a couple more progress photos in to share with y'all. I'm very happy with how they're turning out so far! I get paid in a couple days, so I'll be ordering most of the remaining pins soon!
I will be charging all cards next week on the 17th. I know its a bit early, but we had a decent amount in failed pledges and I need the extra amount gathered in th survey to pay off the remainder of the pins.
So please try and fill out your surveys asap! Most of you have, and thank you for that, the remaining 10 people, try and fill it out when you can.
You will receive a a notice 48 hours prior to the 17th that I'll be charging cards.
