Short update to share that we have received final versions of the pins from the manufacturer. They look amazing!
Soon we will start the process of preparing and packing the pledges and pre-orders to send. Then we will do the charges (including shipping), and close the surveys. The packages with your pins and stickers will be sent over in early May.
The pre-order shop will be open only until end of April. After that, getting these pins will be a lot harder. Visit the Fluffypede pre-order shop in Backerkit to get yours!
Surveys are going very well. Only 6 people left to fill theirs! If you are one of them, remember to complete the surveys. We will still send a few reminders about it.
Froggy is, so far, the most requested pin. (Not a surprise: it is sooo cute!!)
We are still on track to send the pins early May. And, although we left them open a few extra weeks, we plan to close surveys (and the pre-order/late-pledge store) soon: before the end of April. So if you want to change anything in the surveys or you missed the campaign and want to buy some pins or stickers, you still have a couple of weeks!
We are also close to unlock Vampi as a Pin. It is available in the surveys and our pre-order store.
If you were still undecided, you can see how the pins will look like from our manufacturer digital proofs:
They look so cute!
We have added those images to the items on our pre-order shop and surveys.
Hey guys! So the split shipping thing that I did ended up being good in theory but turned out to be a logistical nightmare for me. I've been manually keeping track of what I've sent out and what I need to send out, but because of that I've accidentally sent out duplicate backpacks. If you receive a duplicate backpack, please please please email me ([email protected]) so I can send you a return shipping label so you can send it back. Additionally, I'm still working on sending out split shipping items and straggler backpacks, so please bear with me! 98% of orders have been sent out, so if you haven't received a tracking number yet it's probably because I have to manually weigh your box but it'll be sent out this week!
Thank you everyone for your amazing support and for your patience as I send out the last of the Conpanions. Don't forget to sign up for the Conpanion Lite coming in January so you can take advantage of early bird deals and freebies, and check out my newly launched project the Twilight Apparel Series!
The plush are finally here!! Thank you everyone for your patience! Once I get all campaign backer's bags out, pre-orders will go out afterwards. I'm gonna try to get the rest out this week and next, I've got about 250 bags left, so we're nearing the end of fulfillment! As I finish up this campaign, I just want to take a moment to thank you guys for your incredible support. Every convention I've been to in the last 2 months or so I've seen Conpanions in the wild wandering the halls of the convention and it's so awesome to see.
Since you guys loved the backpack so much, I wanted to give y'all a sneak peek on my next project for next year's Pintopia, going live in January: The Conpanion Lite edition! It's a crossbody/fanny pack version of the Conpanion, able to hold a 5x7 print in its rigid art print pocket in the back, and a large window for tons of pins (not to mention all of the D rings for charms!!). This sample is not final, but I still wanted to show you guys so you can sign up to be notified when the campaign goes live in January to take advantage of early bird deals and freebies!!

Speaking of early bird deals and freebies, I've got a project launching THIS FRIDAY at noon MST: The Twilight Apparel Series!! It's a 6-piece set of gothic inspired streetwear and accessories. Please check it out if this kind of aesthetic is up your alley! I'm giving out a keycap clicker charm for everyone that pledges for a physical reward tier in the first 48 hours of the campaign!

That's all for now! If you have any questions or concerns, as always email me at [email protected] and I'll do my best!
Hey guys! Alien inserts are here, I'm going to start shipping out packages with alien conpanions and alien inserts soon, I'm hoping Monday. The plush are on their way, they're coming by boat so I have no idea when they're meant to arrive unfortunately. But I will of course let y'all know as soon as they come in so I can start sending out everybody else's packages!! I have two conventions coming up, Nan Desu Kan in Denver and then Rose City Comic Con in Portland, so I won't be able to ship out more packages until I get back on the 14th/15th.
If you've received your conpanion I would LOVE to see how you decorated it!! Post/tag me on instagram @itskinotastic !!!
I had a couple of people e-mail me regarding receiving the wrong colorway, if you happened to receive the wrong colorway PLEASE e-mail me and I'll send you a return label to send it back so I can send you the correct backpack color!!
Thanks as always for your patience and understanding as I work through everything. If you have any questions or concerns you can e-mail me at [email protected] :D
Hey guys, a couple of serious things I need to update you about. We returned home from our con on Monday but just had a death in the family and have also been dealing with the aftermath of a car accident so things have been slow going since getting home. I'm going to try to start grading bags this week, but for those who needed their bags sent out ASAP please remind me with your name and BackerKit email at [email protected] and I'll get your bags out as soon as I can. Thank you everyone for your patience.
WOOOO the last 169 bags have arrived, and they somehow all fit in my garage lol!
169 BOXES BABYYY
I have another convention this weekend so when I return from it on Monday next week we will start the long process of quality controlling. I'm hoping to start shipping out the rest of the bags starting August 17th, but we are still waiting for the plush to ship so I can't ship out any orders with plush until I get those in. If you ordered any of the plush toys and want your bag in sooner, please reach out to me with your BackerKit name and email address at [email protected] and let me know you want split shipping. Also, I haven't gotten the remakes of the alien inserts in yet but they are shipping to me now so I'm hoping to get them in the next week or so!
That's all for now, I will update you guys as things progress. YAAAYY!!!
By this time most of you should have already received your pins. At this moment, the packages for the US based people should be on their way.
We learned a bunch doing this campaign, our first for pins! Thanks a lot for being part of this.
See you on the next Pintopia!
P.S: Also, as you may know already, the campaign for the Fluffypede game got funded, and is now currently open for Late Pledge. Check it out if you haven't already!
