Great news, I finally received the remade pins last Friday, and I've looked through all of them. They're great, except for the Copper/Light Owl design. This one still has issues with discolored, blotchy metal. ~63% of the pins I received have this issue, and so the flawed pieces are being remade AGAIN. Very happy the factory is remaking them, but I'm not sure why this design has decided to be so troublesome. 🥲
However, everything else is ready to go and I will be charging cards and locking addresses for folks I can fulfill starting tomorrow! 🎉 Please watch your inbox for BackerKit emails.
I will send out as many copper owls as I can, but if you do not receive a cc charge notification from BackerKit in the next week or so, you'll have to wait 4-5 weeks longer. I'm so sorry for the delay.
Of course, copper metal is tricky due to being so oxidation-prone. Additionally, each piece is handmade, so small flaws are normal and inevitable. Please know I wouldn't delay this design further unless I truly felt the quality of these pieces was not acceptable. Thank you for understanding, and I'm thrilled to be sending out the majority of remaining orders.
I'm pretty confident that these orders will be shipped before Pintober, which starts October 20th! I will keep you informed if fulfillment takes longer.
This campaign will be smaller and more focused. It will include 7 "main" pins, plus a cross-collab pin, and a Pintober Group freebie pin. Returning backers will also receive a freebie (still deciding on what exactly it will be), and there will be discounted early bird tiers. Plus some fun stickers and washi tape!
I've been extremely busy, but I should have some updates on that campaign very soon (spoiler: it includes some sample progress too) 👁️
