Project Update: ‼️The Pins Have Arrived ‼️

Hello Backerkit!

This last weekend we received the orders from our pin manufacturer, and now we've also got some photos to show you :>

Premium Pins:

Burmese Python / Ouroboros Rapax: This snake is a good deal heavier than the average pin being 1.8oz compared to the cat's measurement of 1.1oz - I'd say that it's been our heaviest pin to date, but there were a couple from Cryptids and Critters that beat it if I remember correctly... Nevertheless it's a hefty specimen who can spin thanks to that extra weight. On the topic of spinning it's not as addictive to spin it as I thought it would be, but maybe y'all will disagree with that ;> (Notably it spins best when held level!)
Lanternfy /  Mefitis Lucerna: There's a funny story about the hanging chains for our bug friend here... During talks with our manufacturer Tokii had originally requested black chains for the design because the manu had instead used silver, their response was that they didn't have black chains. I, not knowing about that conversation, also asked them for black chains and got no response. Evidently they must have acquired black chains just for us, because low and behold they all have black chains on arrival 😅
Domestic Cat / Felinoctis Hedinis: The pearl-swirl detail of the cat's fur came out less noticeable than expected, but while inspecting it closely you can absolutely get lost in the swirls once you see them - almost like a hidden treasure - The collar's recessed metal also came out excellently!
Common Starling / Estrella Destructiva: The anodized metal on the starling turned out to be the perfect decision to give our bird that iridescent feather look! Not every pin looks the same though with some of them being less lustrous than others, but the majority looks perfect.
Feral Pig / Plaga Titani: The pig had come out a teensy darker than we had anticipated. As a fun fact when I originally saw these I was in a dimly lit room and almost had a heart attack thinking they'd been colored jet black 😅 Luckily when I brought them to the light you can see that they're colored correctly.
Cane Toad / Amphibeos Intoxica:
While the cane toad was the underdog in terms of popularity, it's mixture of line art, transparent enamel, and screen printing has given it's skin this awesome bumpy look despite being more-or-less smooth to the touch.
House Sparrows /  Spóros Daímonas:
These pins came out so wonderfully that they have officially become Tokii's favorite of the Infernal Invasion collection. They are visibly a good deal smaller, but their details came out beautifully because of it.

While Tokii was taking photos of these wonderful pins, she was briefly interrupted by our very own infernal invader...
