We have some pin updates!! I'm so glad I asked for the UV printing on Lyric! My manu apparently invested a lot into that specific machinery, and that's how we kept the color melts in the hair and tail.
I also can't wait to see the rock candy up close. I added just a bit of glitter to make it extra candied.
Just letting everyone know that I'll be charging cards tomorrow. I've already submitted the order for the pins, and we'll hopefully have some updates soon. I've been told that they're already starting!
We're in the final countdown! I will be ordering them shortly after the numbers are LOCKED in, so the last 14 backers... this is a final call... please complete your surveys so that you won't have to potentially take whatever is left. Once I make the order, there will be no updating of the totals. I have to do this in order to keep production on track.
We managed to unlock Hestia, and I'll be footing the bill for the remainder of the total needed for a new batch of Morganas thanks to the Holiday Market backers! <3
Oh, and tomorrow is the last day before it ends, so if you're interested in any of the 41 items listed, go visit before it's too late.
Thank you again to everyone who stuck it out with us! No one expected this year to be as financially difficult as it continues to be for many, and it is not lost on me that this campaign is NOT a necessity, and it makes me even more grateful that we managed to fund anything at all. You'll notice that we did unfortunately slip under the UNLOCKING amount for Francesca. I can cover the remaining amount myself, so I'm leaving her UNLOCKED...BUT I can't fund the entire campaign. 😭 So this is where I'll need your help. Please make sure that you're checking your payment information. If you backed multiple campaigns at once, your bank might accidentally flag them as fraudulent. You will get a notice from Backerkit if your payment was not able to be processed. You have about a week to fix this issue usually. Anything that we can't collect, goes against the entire campaign. That's why it is so important to either commit fully to a campaign or leave it before it ends. Because we're getting not only false totals, but added, unnecessary stress. Backerkit does NOT add funds to replace what we lose. I say this every campaign, after I found out that some people believe this to be how it works. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. 😅
In the next couple weeks, you'll be getting a survey from me. So keep an eye on your emails! Oh! and if anyone is interested in shopping small this holiday season, I'll be opening up a shop during the Backerkit Holiday Market. It'll start in 16 days, and it will only contain products I have in-hand. Everything is ready to be shipped starting Dec. 1st.
And in January, I'll have a new pin collection!! No Gourmet Ghoulfriends, no Sweet Sea Sirens, and no Fauna Fruits!! Even if you're not interested in participating, you can at least watch as I update the monster list. I'm currently working on a Bakunawa!
