And we're counting down the last 48hours! Its flown by this time. I really meant to get this one up sooner but I wanted 100% confirmation the quicksand pin was possible by our manufacturer first.
So our first pin for this series is Fox;
A 2" standard size pin with screen print details. Its such a simple design compared to some of the others, but I really wanted something that incorporated the iconic animated design with a little more of my own personal style. I hope I got it.
As a kid I loved this series so much. I didn't read the books til I was much older, but the animated movies were my favourite. I wore the VHS tapes out rewinding them over and over again (showing my age lmao). I didn't realise until much later the movies are just a cut version of the TV show and I missed out on so much.
Fox was the best, I had fox everything. Fox plushies, fox themed books, foxes on my clothes, anything I could find. My first drawings were all designing fox families in the same style as the show. I wish I could find some, I would love to do a comparison. Kid me would lose her ever loving mind if she knew I got to do this as an adult.
I do highly recommend the series, but you will cry over pheasants and hedgehogs and there is no shame in that. I saw a Reddit thread that said before GoT we had this show and for the later seasons they are not wrong. I really should reread the books but I know they were even worse and I'm kind of afraid haha.
Also, the quicksand pin is done;
It will be about 2.5" inches, with black nickel plating and I think we got away with no screen printing. All our quicksand pins come with locking backs and probably three posts, its gonna be a heavy beast. The silhouette should sit on top of the quicksand section so the glitter moves around behind. I'm not entirely sure which type we'll get yet, it depends which manufacturer we use, as one doesn't do confetti shapes but I really kind of want leaves and I really hate single tone glitter. But something blue/green shift if I can get it. There will be a sticker version in the sticker selection too.
This is a 'special' tier pin, so you'll need to add it separately to your order through the add-on store. It will be in the survey store as well. Grab one if you want one! Last push to fund our last two tiers ~
Don't forget to vote on which sticker you want for your prelaunch follower rewards.
I think we have one spotlight left and it might be a bit controversial, so I'll save it for our campaign wrap up :D. Thank you for coming along, everyone.
Edit ~
So uh. Apparently the hidden creator add-ons are visible to non creators you just can't back them? I didn't know that. Well since its been requested a bunch now I went ahead and released the rainbow fire-lizard pin early; I usually put them in the add-on store at the survey stage; Its the same 1.5" design, but it'll be made in soft enamel with an epoxy coating. Functionally it looks/feels the same as hard enamel, but with rainbow plating ~. This one will also have a pearl no swirl effect for the wing fade. Its not part of the general mini pin selection pool, you'll need to add one specifically to your cart. That's why I usually put it in after.
Also also someone asked what a bucket bag was and there's nowhere easier for me to put a picture. Here's the Minnow bucket bag, with terrible lighting;
They have a flat base they can stand on, they come with a detachable shoulder strap and its more of a mid blue than a powder blue. There's a snap closure just inside at the top. Its about big enough for a large notebook, pencil case, water bottle and wallet. So not huge, but not tiny either.
