Project Update: 🛠️ Production Update & Updated Project Timeline 🛠️

Hello Adventurers,

We wanted to share a production update! Over the past few months, we made a few design adjustments for manufacturing. At the moment, the pins are still in production.

🎨 Pin Design Updates 🎨

We made slight adjustments to certain pin designs to adhere to manufacturing specifications. We did our best to keep the original design look as much as possible. We mainly adjusted the sizes of a few pins to accommodate manufacturing and create a more visually balanced pin collection. Here is a summary of the changes:

We increased the Inkwell & Quill Pin size from 1 inch to 1.25 inches because the cut-out areas need to be slightly bigger for manufacturing
We increased the Mysterious Parchment Pin size from 1 inch to 1.125 inches, so it visually balances better with the Inkwell & Quill Pin.
We slightly decreased the Oracle’s Crystal Ball Pin size from 1.25 inches to 1.125 inches, so it visually balances better with the rest of the pin collection.
We refined some details of the Poseidon’s Trident Pin and added an extra wave detail to add more space for back posts.

We also received the Medusa Head die-cut stickers, and they turned out so great! We can’t wait to ship them out as pledge rewards.

⌛ Updated Project Timeline ⌛

Ideally, we were hoping to ship all rewards this month, but production is taking longer than expected (our manufacturer was also on holiday in September for the Mid-Autumn Festival). We estimate production may need an extra month. We have updated our estimated project timeline as follows:

July 16, 2026: BackerKit surveys are sent out (please check your emails!)
July 16, 2026: Funds arrive from BackerKit.

August 1st, 2026: BackerKit survey responses are due!
August 4, 2026: Surveys are locked & 2nd Payment Charged (Includes Shipping Fee, Taxes, Survey Add-Ons, and any outstanding payments)

August 5, 2026: Pin production begins!
Mid-Nov 2026: Pins arrive, and we begin to package everyone's rewards!
Early Dec 2026: Pins are shipped out to backers!!

🇺🇸 Update On US Shipping From Canada 🇨🇦

The United States and Canada are still in a “trade war,” and both countries have been increasing counter-tariffs over the past month (up to a 50% tariff increase for certain products). Unfortunately, enamel pins may be subject to the recently increased tariffs. We plan to ship our pins directly from our manufacturer in China to our US fulfillment partner to minimize tariffs.

We are currently coordinating with our manufacturer and our US fulfillment partner. We are outsourcing the packaging to our manufacturer and splitting the production shipment between Canada and the USA. We will provide more updates as we get closer to fulfillment.
