I have exciting news! The Pridexolotls pins and stickers have arrived! I am currently working through the quality check process and expect to begin packaging and shipping orders within the next few days.
As fulfillment begins, some of you may receive a tracking number before your package is mailed. I typically print shipping labels in batches and then package orders over the following days, so it is normal for tracking to be created before USPS receives the package.
I also wanted to be transparent about a small production issue. One pin design arrived without meeting the final specifications that were approved. Fortunately, this affects fewer than 10 orders, including all of the All the Pridexolotls pledge level. The manufacturer has already been notified, and replacement pins are already being produced. If your order is impacted, I will be reaching out to you directly. The vast majority of orders will not be affected and will ship as planned.
Thank you all for your patience and support throughout this project. It has been wonderful seeing these little axolotls come to life, and I can't wait to start getting them into your hands soon.
And if you’ve enjoyed the Pridexolotls journey, I’d love for you to join me for what’s next: Guardians of the Cosmos: Gilded Fables. Created for PinQuest 2, this series draws from the timeless tradition of storytelling through stained glass windows and the iconic magical girl genre. Our signature Mythglass pins combine translucent enamel, hard enamel, glitter, and polished metal to recreate the beauty and brilliance of illuminated glasswork, transforming each Guardian into a radiant work of art.
Production on the Pridexolotl pins is now in the final stages. The manufacturer has confirmed they are complete, and they should be arriving to me in the next few weeks for final quality check before shipping begins.
We will be charging cards today, so please make sure your payment information is up to date to avoid any delays with your order. However, addresseswill remain unlocked for now, so you can still update your shipping address or make changes if needed.

That's a wrap for Pridexolotls! I’m deeply grateful for everyone who joined this campaign. Whether you pledged on day one or jumped in at the last minute, your support helped bring this collection to life.
What happens next:
BackerKit will begin collecting payments over the next few days. If you need to update your payment method, now’s the time to do it to avoid any delays.
In about two weeks, you’ll receive a survey to confirm your shipping address and make your reward selections. Keep an eye on your inbox for that email.
I’ll continue sharing updates as we move through surveys, production, and fulfillment.
And if you’ve enjoyed the Pridexolotls journey, I’d love for you to join me for what’s next:Pride Power Up! Launching in April and shipped immediately after surveys. An enamel pin collection celebrating queer pride through the vibrant world of retro video game magic. This anniversary campaign has no stretch goals and will ship out right after surveys are completed.
With less than 2 days left, we unlocked the final stretch goal for Pridexolotls, and the Disability Pride pins are now part of the campaign.
You can now choose Disability Pride as part of your pledge, and it has been added to the All Pride Pledge level. I have also added the Disability Pride pin to the Additional Pins section, so you can include it with any pledge.
If you are thinking about getting several pins, the All the Pride pledge level continues to be the best deal in the campaign, since it includes every Pride design unlocked so far at the lowest price per pin.
The Disability Pride Hatching design is now available as an add on as well. You can select it as part of the set, or choose the individual pin if you prefer.
Thank you all so much for the incredible support throughout this campaign. I’m truly grateful to see this collection come to life with the community behind it. I’m very excited to keep swimming with pride toward the finish line.
