Project Update: Fck it, we‘re unlocking all purchasable mini pins!
We‘ve been climbing slowly but surely, buuuut given how close the end of the campaign is and the fact that some of you are still hoping for the last few mushrooms, I‘ve decided to just unlock them! All purchasable mini pins are unlocked!
This should give you some security that the mini pins you want are all available without having to constantly monitor the campaign. (And I get to sleep better too lol)
I put 10.6k as the threshold in the graphic but honestly unless we have a mass cancellation, they stay unlocked even if we dip below.
Please note that the freebie pin (the cat) may or may not be unlocked at all. The conditions for that one remain the same. If we don‘t unlock it as a freebie, I will see if there‘s enough interest in it post-campaign to make it anyways and make it a purchasable add-on as well. If the 11.5k tier is unlocked, it will also be purchasable by everyone.
I hope that makes a few choices easier for you all.
Again, even if we don‘t unlock everything, I‘m already more than happy with how this project went and I could never make pins regularly if it wasn‘t for you all!
Also just for shit and giggles let me know what your favourite mini pins is from the newly added stretch goals :D
Best wishes and have a wonderful, sweet, spooky and cozy halloween!

Project Update: NEW GOALS: Pumpkin Tea, Mini Pins and a possibly free cat!
I’ve had a great time working out some new stretch goals based on your suggestions in the past days - it was super helpful so an extra thanks goes out to everyone who commented and/or suggested something! I think it is so cool to work with you all as a community and have a back-and-forth rather than me just working alone. You guys are great!
Before I yap too much again: Here’s the new stretch goals!
Loved the ideas but the creative juices for those weren’t flowing fast enough to make it in time for this campaign.
Thank you so much again! You guys are seriously wonderful!

Project Update: Cards charging March 1st, addresses locking for fulfillment, note about APO/FPO addresses
Here's your reminder that I will charge cards on March 1st (Sunday). At the same time I will lock your addresses. Please do double-check if everything is correct before March 1st. If your payment does not go through, you will still have time to fix payment for a couple months after fulfillment is officially done, but after that the project will close and any partial payments will be considered donations. If you experience trouble with payments, I can help you out with setting up an alternative payment method outside of the platform too.
The folks who have been holding their Holiday Market shipments to combine with the Pintober orders will get shipped out first unless waiting for cat eye remakes.
Also if you use an APO/FPO address, consider giving me a local address to ship to, as they have been causing issues with the shipping providers here (also if you're stationed outside of the US, the shipping to your local address is likely cheaper anyways).
On another note: the cat eye remake with the correct glow is almost finished according to my manu, just the plating left and then they'll be on their way.
Thank you for your support & I hope you're all looking forward to these pins. I'm super happy with how everything turned out myself and I hope you will all feel the same!

Project Update: PLEASE READ: Orange Cat Eye Pin Duo Update
Another quick report from pin packing hell :D
I have some good news: the wait for the remake of the orange eyes will not be that long after all. I convinced my manu to redo them immediately rather than together with my next batch, and they are already in production. According to my manu they can arrive at my place in March.
This means you can disregard the previous update. Everyone can get the correct version by default. Since that's what you originally pledged for I'm sure that's the best outcome for everyone.
If you still prefer the green or want a heterochromia edition or whatever I'm happy to help you out since I will have both versions at hand anyways now! :D Just email me, preferably by March 1st.
Email: [email protected]
I'm sorry for the confusion and the back and forth, the negotiating behind the scenes was also a little back and forth @_@
That's it for now.
