Hey backers!!

Pins have been completed, and I've got photos to show off!

These haven't been shipped yet, but should ship soon! With that in mind, here's an updated timeline :)

This timeline pushes fulfillment to the end of summer/fall, which means we're not competing with convention/pride season! So I'm hoping for a smooth fulfillment. Due to the sheer amount of pins/backers, it will still take a couple months to pack and ship all the orders. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated <3

Okay, that's all. Photo time!

I just got an update from the factory 🎉

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. 

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.

Hey backers,

Pledge manager is currently sitting at 86% completed. If we can bump that to 90%, I can lock orders and get production started. 

Please remember that filling out your reward survey is how you get your stuff! This includes giving me a shipping address and paying for shipping :)

I will be over-ordering each pin - to varying degrees - so it's unlikely a pin won't be available if you fill out your reward survey late, but it's still a chance for in-stock or specialty items. (ie if you want a pin board, fill out your survey right now, I won't be over-ordering these)

My hope is to have pins in production next week, backers willing. 🙏

Just touching base to let y'all know that I've finished the pledge manager and just sent out smoke tests to 15 of ya. Assuming those come back clean, I'll be sending out the rest of the surveys later this week. 

The pledge manager will be live for about a month. Once I feel I can get accurate counts from responses, I'll send everything over to the manu to get things rolling. 

You'll see another update from me next month - giving y'all a warning that I'm locking surveys. Then you won't hear from me until ~June, and at that time I'll be updating with photos from the factory (hopefully). We're on track for fulfillment this summer. :)

Failed Pledges - if your payment failed, you will have the opportunity to fix your payment in the pledge manager. I highly recommend doing so. That's how you get your stuff!

Pay Over Time Backers - you won't see your pledge manager survey until your pledge is paid in full. Please do not panic if you don't see a survey this week.

Reduced Shipping - if you backed my friends' projects (Read the Rainbow and/or Picture Frame Pins), we promised combined fulfillment and therefore cheaper shipping. We don't know how much to credit until surveys are filled out, so you will see full shipping charges. Please rest assured that a credit will be applied to your account prior to cards actually being charged.

Local Pick Up Backers - you know who you are. Shipping will be automatically applied to you, just ping me and I'll remove that before cards are charged. :P

I think that's everything!
