Hey astronomers,

I've gone through the Stellar Nebula pins to take a look at the damage and accidentally found even more issues with it 😓

Not only do majority of them have minimal to no swirl between the red shades, but ALL of them have a small spot on the arm that was supposed to be filled in with black but was instead filled in with the blue swirl:

As it is, there are only 53 pins that passed the red-swirl test, but all of those still have the incorrect arm bit color. 😭 With the pin now having two wide-spread issues - the lack of swirling with the red and the incorrect arm bit - that warrants these being remade.

Like with the other problematic pins, I've sent a form out to everyone who ordered the Stellar Nebula pin, asking you how you'd like to proceed, though with this one you'll have 3 options:

If you select option #2, your order may be delayed, since I 53 pins in this category, so if more people than that opt for that option, I will have to order remakes to cover the number of orders.

I'm hoping I can talk to my manufacturer and have them redo these, but just in case they are unable to meet my quality standard, I've started sampling the pin with another manufacturer as a backup.

I am pretty bummed that there ended up being so many issues with the order. The funny part though - So many artists from Pintopia have been having so many problems with their pins that we started calling it "the Pintopoia curse" in our creator communities. I was hoping that the only part of the curse I would experience was how long it took for these to get done, but I guess that was too much to hope for! 🤣

Anyway, if you ordered this pin, please check your emails - you should have gotten an email from [email protected] with a link to a Google form where you can make your selection.

Thanks for being patient with this!

Cheers,
Rain
