It's been an interesting week so far, critters!

For starters, almost immediately after I shared that last update my pin supplier sent me a message saying the pins were finished! I was not expecting that at all, and I held off on sharing anything partly due to disbelief and partly due to the fear of jinxing it in some way. 

Unfortunately a small bit of bad luck still managed to find me-- instead of the warehouse, the pins got delivered to my house. All 12 25+ pound boxes of them lol 😅 The silver lining here is that I got to inspect them in person and grab some quick pictures to tease you guys with! I'm very happy with how everything turned out, Many of them look even better than I was anticipating, which is always awesome.

The local cryptid pins are adorably tiny, and the soda turned out sick as hell! My original vision was for all the linework and details to be UV printed, but I'm so glad my supplier misinterpreted my instructions and went for soft enamel with UV print halftones. The textures are chefs kiss.

My Cryptid Romance is massive! Any smaller and I don't think the smallest bits of text would be legible, so this was a very happy accident.

A small selection of some others I was really happy with! Frankly they all turned out great, but some of them had really small, fiddly details that I was super concerned about and seeing them up close was especially rewarding.

Now on to where this little shipping oopsie leaves us! After inspecting everything, I packed the pins up again and sent them on their way to the warehouse. The warehouse is only about 6-7 hours away from us and they should arrive relatively quick-- today/tomorrow most likely.

In the meantime all plush-only orders (that don't contain freebies either) have shipped out and crushes are slowly arriving at their new homes! I expect a much larger batch to go out next week as pins are inventoried and freebie stickers arrive.

In preparation for importing orders into shopify for fulfillment, I've also added all cryptid crush plushies to the Tiny Teeth website! This means if you weren't able to pick up a crush you wanted during the campaign, you can now sign up for in stock notifications and pick them up when the remaining stock hits the store in late-April 🎉

I'll be back next week with another, hopefully even meatier shipping update! I hope these pictures will tide you over until then, and as always thank you so much for your continued patience 💖
