We'd like to start with saying we're overjoyed by the love shared for this project, we had a fun time working on these fungi and are happy that you all had fun along with us! We're continuously blessed by your support <3 As of recently, the funding period for Mini Myconids has officially come to a close, all milestones were met, all stretch goals had been reached, and the competitions have been completed! Now it's time to make the magic happen - so let's get on the same page of our spell tomes ;>
Survey Stuff and More:
Over the next little while, in-between our busywork fulfilling the Summer Sale and getting ready to begin fulfillment for Midnight Festival 2, we'll also be hard at work getting the surveys ready for you all! The surveys are how we know what you'd like and how many in your orders as well as your shipping address, so it's very important to fill it out ;>
We're shooting to release a few instances of the survey early, this is called a smoke test, and it will hopefully go out on Thursday, September 3rd. If no issues arise from the testing we'll be letting loose the rest of the surveys that Saturday on September 5th!
Once surveys are out you guys will have two weeks to fill them out and submit them, by September 19th they'll be locked after a final notice. After that we'll be continuing to lock payments and addresses each with notices in between ;>
We should have everyone's orders compiled from their surveys before the end of September at which point the counts will be made and sent out to our manufacturers to start production! By this point we'll be doing our best to make routine updates, especially since our pin manufacturer has very sweetly offered to give even more status reports and imagery throughout their production for us to have more content to update you guys with! <3
Once production has finished, products will be shipped to our location where we will do a final count and a quality check of the inventory before beginning the fulfillment process. This is where we fill your guys' orders and get ready to ship them out! During this period we expect to make shipment runs every 1-2 weeks on Saturdays in which case we'll also give our own status update on our progress.
Finally, after all that, your mushrooms will arrive to their homes with you guys! We're expecting to have orders at their destinations by February 2027. Though it's important to note that often cases we're a little earlier to finish than expected, and occasionally even late if many hurdles arise - We'll keep you posted! :3
Future Funsies:
The closest upcoming project we have on the horizon is our Limbo of Dreams campaign - a project focused on sleep disorders; learning about them, sharing what we learn, making pin designs of symptoms and conditions, and raising funds to be donated to a narcolepsy charity soon to be revealed... Medicines for people with narcolepsy, very often needed for them to function at all in their day to day lives, are ridiculously expensive. Something that Tokii and I know about personally, The charities we're looking into help get those medicines to the people that need them at a significantly lowered price. Because of these charities our own price goes from a monthly $XX,XXX to $0. Our business and our lives would not be like they are today if not for them, and it's time for us to give back what we can. Limbo of Dreams is due to launch October 20th during the wonderful Pintober 2026 event :>
Next up on our list to inspire the most devout of our followers is the Endangered Angelica campaign which we plan to release during Pintopia 2027! This campaign takes a verse from Infernal Invasion's book, but sings the tune to a different hymn. Whereas Infernal Invasions focused on demonizing the invasive species of North America, Endangered Angelica looks to lift up the endangered species that take up the same homelands! We aim that the theming and style will both compare to and contrast to the original campaign in many facets. One of which including that a portion of the proceeds is donated to charity to conserve our endangered wildlife and make a difference. - If that tickles your fancy, you can follow the project by clicking here!
Finally, While more projects for 2027 have yet to be concreted, we're mindful to remember the other options we listed in our poll when we asked what you guys would like to see next. People did have an overwhelming love for Endangered Angelica, but we're not deaf to the voices who called out their desires for some of the other ideas we pitched... I'm certain we'll see more of the ideas from that list out on the horizon - potentially sooner than you think!
That's all for now, Stay adventurous! - Jacob & Tokii
