This update is copy pasted across multiple projects so sorry if you see it more than once!
The overview is looking like this; Bunnies and Branchs ~ Nearly complete! Midnight Ocean ~ In production Mythical Garden ~ Shipping early stages Curiosity Shop ~ In production Christmas Market ~ Shipping well underway
We are currently in the middle of moving houses, there probably won't be another update this month but work is continuing in the background. There were a lot of designs and extras for this campaign so production is going to take a little while, but hopefully we'll have some previews soon.
I wanted to get the surveys out before we took a short break for Christmas. Smoke tests are out now and the rest will be released tomorrow :).
If you could complete it at your earliest convenience, it helps me figure out how many of which pins to order. There are 74 options for stickers and keychains this time! I only order in the ones that people want. You'll be able to edit your order right up until addresses lock so you can still change your mind later on.
Everything should have its proper picture so please let me know right away if I made an error (🪶).
There's a section for notes and preferences. If you want to make any small requests about mystery items or anything, you can throw them in here. We try to honour anything that's not too specific.
We've figured out by now with the BnB campaign that our shipping can be very slow. I've added a question now where you can indicate if you're in a rush to receive your order, if you can wait but don't want to, and if you're happy to go last. Any option is fine, it just helps us to sort through, when there are 300 orders and some people have a strong preference, its hard to know where to start. There were quite a few pin options, and our manufacturer will close for a bit for the holidays, so we aren't expecting to ship out before mid 2026.
We always get requests to combine postage for campaigns and I'm really sorry, but we just can't at the moment. We did it for our first BK campaign because it was very small, and it was a bit of a nightmare. Behind the scenes there are two of us packing orders, but we have to do it in a specific way due to my disability, and its so easy to get them muddled up. We're hoping to move soon, and once we have a proper dedicated space to lay things out it will hopefully be something we can reconsider, since there are times when things do line up.
Otherwise I think that's it :). I'll be back with an update once the pins are on order, unless I've messed up somewhere. Happy holidays, everyone ~
Alright this is overdue, but the final tier is complete ~
The Rat Lady tier.
I'm sorry it took so long. I really wanted to have enough rats to do a rat mystery bag, but damn. Bernard took me days. I am gonna slap the full size artwork on everything.
Its gonna be a soft enamel with epoxy coating; we're going to go for a purple metal plating and screen print the details on. We are debating glow in the dark finishes at the moment, but it depends if it compromises the colour scheme. Bernard, Bartholomew, and the Furby will all be made to match in finish/colours.
Beatrice! The rat on a roomba. Has her own transport; still expects you to hand deliver her yoggies to her. There are some rats who won't sit still, and then there are the Beatrices of the rat world. Fun fact, Bea is based on a couple of rats we used to own, one of whom used to prefer to travel around in my assistant's shirt and never walk anywhere under her own steam. This will be a standard, 2" hard enamel pin with gold metal plating.
The mini pins. All the minis are using the same artwork, sorry. That's because it took me many, many hours. To make up for it we're doing two colourations of the soft enamel version. We have one green, with purple metal; this will match Bernard and Bartholomew exactly. Then one rainbow/white base. 1.5" in size, soft enamel with epoxy coating, one purple plated and one rainbow plated. The last one will be hard enamel, and it will match the other natural skulls we have already. 1.5" with hard enamel with gold plating.
And with that all the pins are finished. Pretty much everything has a sticker version. We've made all kinds of cool stationery stuff with various designs, we're just making sure its all up in the add-on store. Surveys should be out soon!
Happy holidays everyone, and thanks for you patience :)
First off, a massive thank you for backing for Pintober. It was a great campaign for us, and I'm super grateful.
Just a heads up that everything is being worked on in the background. There's a lot going on right now, so please sit tight :). I usually update a lot more but things are super hectic.
The final pin designs should be up soon. All of the stickers are finished. Funding clears in a week or two, and that's when surveys will go out. There should be a couple of big updates before then. One with the new designs, and one that lays out everything that was unlocked, which will be very image heavy.
Thanks for sticking with us, I'll have more for you soon :).
Alright, I kicked his furry little butt in with the rats, where he belongs.
The Furby pin is a 2" standard sized pin. He'll be soft enamel, with an epoxy coating, and purple coloured metal. He's been added to the general standard selection pool to pick from at the survey stage. All the standard sized pins in this tier will be the same, with varying metal colours and effects.
The front page has returned to normal, and all the lists have been updated!
Also, the last pin for the artificer tier is finished;
Tamafoxchi! Continuing with the 90s toy vibe. The design may be familiar to some, but its never been turned into a pin before. It matches Tamacatchi in its overall design. This is also a 2" standard sized pin, with gold metal and screen printed details.
So what's left? We've smashed the last tier funding goal, so its rats. There are probably two more designs left to come, they may not both be finished before the end of the campaign but they will be ready before surveys go out to backers.
Lastly, the sticker versions for some pins aren't completed yet. Expect to see those added in the next day or two, all going well.
I hope everyone had fun with the Furby takeover, do check out the other projects from our previous update if you can. Stay tuned ~
