Project Update: FACTORY PICS! π¦π¨ The items are being shipped to me!
Hello everyone! I have pictures from the factory of the pins and lanyards! They're all finished up, so they got boxed up today and should be in transit to me shortly.
A little mix-up happened with the "Dark Aether" pin, so that pin has two needles on the back instead of just one like the rest of the pins. The factory accidentally put the first needle in the same position as the regular "Aether" pin, meaning it would have been sitting in the incorrect orientation (upside down) when pinned to something. This was an easy fix though; it just means the Dark Aether pins will be super duper secure xD
I will also say, I guess I didn't realize how big 1" actually is- unless this person at the factory just has small hands! I originally advertised these as good filler pins for ita bags, but with how the size is looking, they might just be the main event! I will probably be re-evaluating prices for when the remainder of the pins go up for sale on my online shop due to this. I purposefully made the pins much cheaper to get during the campaign to incentivize people to support the campaign, but to also ensure that I would even be able to get the pins made at all, since I really really wanted to bring them to life!
I'll be sure to take better images of the pins once I get them in my hands!
As for the acrylic charms: I'm ordering those once the remainder of backers' cards are charged and the money gets to me! Those will take about a third of the time to get to me compared to the pins and lanyards, assuming theres no transit issues.
Keep your eyes peeled for another update within the next couple of weeks for when the pins + lanyards get to me! I'm so excited!
