Finally making some heckin' headway with the dragons, the manufacturer was focusing elsewhere instead of chronologically with the projects I've sent to them. That seems to be what was bogging down sample production. Though we still are in the thick of it, at least some things are getting sample updates finally.
Three pins seem to be almost done with their samples, just waiting on clear fill and screen print on top. When these 3 are ready and Hibiscus is confirmed we will finally be ready for Survey to be sent out.
Plumeria, Foxglove, and Dahlia samples are almost revised. While I can't call it yet without seeing the samples done, they seem to be on track.
On top of that, Bookmark samples finally have a finished visual and are pretty good. There will be some small tweaks in color for production (not significant enough to warrant a re-sampling), but they are otherwise approved.
The black of the body will be lightened for production so you can see the screen through it a little better.
The front yellow screen print will more closely match the gold color for production, and I'll tiny the body clear to a little more green to be closer to the pin while remaining warm.
Otherwise, I'm hoping this month we will be done with samples, because I'm very excited to see the set complete!

Reminders:
Discord since that makes it easier to contact me quickly if I've managed to forget to update here. Link HERE to the Discord server.Which is dramatically faster than here, and faster than email.
Survey will stay open though until samples are complete
Until Survey lock, you can manually update your address, add more pins / stickers, or select different stuff if you have changed your mind. You can even message me if you want to swap around your stickers for pins to some degree.
The Pre-Order store will be open until samples finalize as well. So if you missed out, you still have a chance to get them steeply discounted.
If you are a backer that can't find your survey, feel free to email me so I can try to help you out. Otherwise you can try this first: Survey Recovery Page email: [email protected]
