We got the wrinkles ironed out and I've sent out the smoke test surveys!!  At this time I'm not sure when I'm locking orders I might give you though November. I plan to order some of the add-on during that time.

If you missed, I believe we have the per-order store open. If you pledged and want to add on things please do it though the survey.

If you have any questions about anything you my post them here. Right now I'm going though and making the pin reference sheets to get those out as soon as I can. Then I'll be getting the ad-on artworks together. I'm hoping to have stuff going by the end of November. I'm also working in commissions and Holiday sale So I'm pretty busy.

BTW some Para C-grade Fossil pins and Para fossil stickers have made it's way to my Holiday Sale. 

Thank you everyone who's supported this! I'm excited to do more over the next year on BackerKit. 

Hey oh DinoMites!

Sorry to say the survey is taking a bit longer than expected. We got small snag I'm waiting on. I might poke things next week to see if we can get it rolling sooner. My impatient nature of a seadragon is rawring but holding it back lol

Other wise I've mostly done things on the back end. My hubby took vacation this week so I've had limited time to work on things and mostly done things on the back end. I have worked on some references for the manus. I'll probably be working on them more in the coming week.

Though Tiny Dinos is a main Priority, I do want to take some time to work out more projects for next year. I want to get them out soon to gauge how interested people are on them. I updated SPACE page with more info on what I would like to do with it. Then, I know someone was sad about the Owls in Fluffy Borbs I might add them back in, but I'll have people vote on what they want. I like that way so you guys can get the best ones! Backers get to see the next project! 

OMG you guys, I didn't think we would go over $7k but we did. You guys are insane! Thank you so much! At the beginning I felt like this campaign would do well because the items have been selling well on Etsy, but you all far excited what I expected. While you all where having fun on the over time Backer Train, TOOT TOOT!! 🚂 I was starting to set up the surveys because I felt like it. Lets have a look at our final List of dinos!

I love the variety of dino types and colors. While I was working on the survey, it didn't sit right having the dino-rainbow sticker in with the normal stickers. So I made it an ad-on for it's self I should have made a section for this on the normal line ad-on area but the campaign was in over time so I didn't see the point setting all that up.
Zip bags, will not be on the pre-order store. I'm just going to make the ones people want. and not fill those for my Etsy shop. Because we did not sell a lot of those. If you did want one, you can add them on to your survey with that comes out. Survey will come out next week, take this time to make sure your credit cards are all good! Looks like we have quite a few Failed Charges so please look into that!

For shipping, I'm thinking maybe march? I'm new to enamel pins so I'm making a pretty rough guess. I'll keep you all updated here. I'll keep it to once a week at the most but if you want faster update, join my Discord group.

For what's to come next? Lets have a look! 

Other projects I have on the back burner is Egyptian Gods set (you can see some on the Holiday Sale banner.) and also a set for my mermen OCs (you can see one on the Holiday Sale Banner, or on my ToyHouse). Then MAYBE a little something to add onto the Tiny Universe... I'll toss that into the exclusive content. =3
I also have a comic I hope to make? I haven't had a lot of time to work on it with BackerKit and Life stuff going on.

Feel free to looks though my Etsy shop and let me know if there are anything you would like to see me expand on or if there are any product type things you would like to see me make. Let me know in the comments! 

And the Pteranodon color is.... ~opens card~

We are in the final stretch of the campaign! Thank you everyone who's supported this!! I had a feeling it would go well but you all far exceeded my expectations. Because of this if we get to $7k We will unlock both Pteranodon and Ceratosaurus.  I'm also going to adjust the last two goals down a bit. (not updating the banners became I'm lazy, but it says it underneath and the Achievements have been updated.) Also I've kind of fallen in love with the Plesiosaurus. So if we go over the $7k consider it unlocked, because I really want it. XD
I was crunching some numbers and I think it will be fine?  BUT I'LL BE PICKING THE COLOR! Because you didn't unlock that. bwahahhah

But yeah be sure to share this with people you think are interested. I have a BlueSky post you can share or there is the YouTube video. This will help reach the goal. We are SUPER close. Also go check out the rest of the Super League of Science! There are some projects that still need funding and stretch goals unlocked. 

I'm considering a closing stream. We'll see how I feel closer to the date. 

No poll this time. =3

And the DARKNESS dinosaur is .... ~opens card~

We are getting close to 10 pens so I've added the a 10 pin sets option to Pledge Levels. I also updated the the foldable bag to reflect the new look of the bag. 

We had someone asking about the sizes of the keychains and such. I put them together so you can see how they compare to one another. I don't have the glow in the dark sticker here, because I ordered the wrong size. (you can see it in the video on the main page) I'm working on a checklist to make sure I don't make mistakes.  I also could have showed off the magnet but I'm changing that one up. I'm getting a sample of another type of magnet to see how I like it or I might scale up the size of the magnets, just so they stick well. The ones I have now work ok but not as well as I'd like them to be, so I'm figuring out what the best solution. =3

Now..... This doesn't exactly have to do with this campaign, BackerKt, or my pins. (besides dinosaurs) But we are in the Super League of Science and I want to use this platform to bring this to attention to this if you've not heard. The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia is at risk of closing down. There has been no talk of plans moving forward, no effort to try to save or preserve it. This museum has been around for over 200 years and houses some really rare and amazing artifacts that would be lost the the public and further research. You can read more at Save the Academia. Please Sign the petition  (you don't have to be in state or the US to sign) and there are more ways to help on the main site. You can also watch this video for more. Putting this here, because I love museums, science, dinosaurs, birds and education. Younger generations should be able to go to a museum and see real dinosaurs. Help the place out. Share the info. BackerKit, I hope it's OK I put this here. 🙏
