I’m happy to announce that some of the pins have arrived today!
There are 3 pins yet I am still waiting for; the treasure hunt, the pond lurker, and the Quacksune collab pins. The treasure hunt and pond lurker both had to have a slight mold change, and the quacksune samples were sent to me for approval before mass printing was completed. I do have 2 pictures of the progress on those though!
Shipping Schedule:
I will be locking addresses for everyone who didn’t have the final 3 pins on Sunday, May 31st, and then I’ll start getting these out. I generally drop off packages once a week on Tuesdays, but I’ll try to squeeze another weekly shipment in. With plush, the packages are a little larger, so there will probably be smaller bursts of package dropoffs going out weekly.
Just a reminder that if you have any questions or issues with your items, please email me at [email protected] so I can get back to you asap. I try to keep track of the community tab here on backerkit, but we don’t always receive notifications and posts tend to get buried under older ones without us noticing.
Thank you, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
So I had assumed that the plush would have taken longer, but my manufacturer must have only sent me the tracking after the ship got to the states because they all arrived today!
My poor ups driver lol
For everyone who is not expecting any pins, shipping will resume this weekend into the next couple weeks. If there are any questions about your items or regarding shipping in general, please email me at [email protected] and I’ll get back to you asap.
Pin Status:
I did get a few extra photos of the pins! Most of these have not been polished or printed on yet, so they aren’t the final result:
I’ll pop back in when I get more pin updates! Hope your weekend is fantastic!
I hope you all have been well! I just wanted to pop in really quick and let you all know that I’m back from my trip and production has been coming along smoothly.
I did get most of the orders out that were shippable before I left, but there were a small number I wasn’t able to get to. I plan on getting these out within the next week or two.
Pins: Most of the pin molds are complete, so they are working on coloring and mass production currently.
Sorry for the quality, it was part of a video I was sent :)
Plush: The plush are just about ready for shipment! Since I had them working on everything early, these got done fairly quickly. Since they do arrive by ship, it’ll be about a month or so before they arrive at my door. Once they do arrive, I’ll be shipping the rest of orders off to those of you who aren’t waiting on the pins to be completed.
Once the voids show up and I get more pin pics, I’ll post another update.
I apologize for the double ping between this project and the pride one, but I do have an update here as well.
Cards have been charged- There are a handful of cards that have errored. Please check your emails to make sure yours have gone through.
Missing Surveys- I’m still missing about 13 surveys not including Pay over Time backers. If you could double check and get these filled out, that would be amazing!
Fulfillment Status:
If you backed for ONLY a regular plush and/or tote bag, I will be getting these shipped off within the next week or two. The tote bags have arrived as well as the stickers, so I would like to get any pledges done right away if I am able to in order to decrease congestion later on.
I have to double check on the status of the stickerbooks since I was informed they have shipped. If they arrive within this week, they will also get sent off if you ordered them separately or with any items above. If they arrive mid to late next week, they won’t get shipped until after I get back from Japan, which will be after April 14th. :)
As always, if anyone has any questions regarding their orders, please email me at [email protected]. Comments here on backerkit can unfortunately be missed since they get buried. I do try to pop in and check every now and then though.
I’ll update again once pin sample are done. I hope you all have a great day!
I wanted to pop in and let you all know that all items have been ordered! I do also have some timeline updates that’s fairly important.
Production Timeline:
Plush:
The original yellow plush have started production. These ones should be fairly streamlined and shouldn’t need any further action from me.
The void plush is currently getting sampled in order to get the colors right. I would have liked to get this done earlier, but the factories were on a month long break until earlier this week. I will be updating as these progress through the production line.
Pins:
Artwork was approved and molds are currently being made. Next step is sampling to make sure the colors are as close to the artwork as they can be.
Bags and Stickerbooks:
In production. I expect these to be completed before the end of the month
Rubber Quackens:
Complete. I just need to get packaging for these guys.
Stickers:
Complete and currently shipping to me.
Shipping Timelines:
If you ordered anything other than void plush or pins, I expect shipping to start fairly quickly, especially once I receive the stickers. I do also have some regular quacken plush, so those of you who only backed for those will probably be getting shipping notifications shortly after cards are charged on the 16th.
I will be out of the country between March 29th-April 14th, so depending on when the Stickerbooks and tote bags arrive, they will be shipped either before I leave or shortly after I get back (jet lag pending 😂). I will update and let you know which one that’ll be after I get updated shipping notifications.

As a side note, I am still missing about 30 surveys, not including those with pay over time. If these could get done asap, I would greatly appreciate it! As always, if you have any questions, please reach out via email or social media and I’ll do my best to help.
