You might have seen a notification with tracking information in your inbox over the past few days. But yeah, it is official, (almost) all shipping has gone out!
Over the past week, I have worked hard to grade, package, and ship first the non-collab items. Then, on Thursday, Lotta and I sat together to wrap up all the collab packages that we would be shipping together. Of course, we meant to be done at a decent time but it ended up getting pretty late, but pizza has been had and all in all we had good fun!
There are two more packages left that I will soon be delivering in person to people in my area. After that, it is time to close the project properly and focus on my current big project, Portent (which you may also have seen around on Backerkit).
And well, with Pintopia 2026 wrapped up, there may be space in my head again for a new pin project on the horizon...
Although Gods and Monsters comes to a close, don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions, here in a comment or through my social media <3
A while back, all the pins came in. I have since graded and packaged all of them over the course of a few weeks (it was slightly more work than I had anticipated) and they are ready to ship :D
That means that I'll be locking addresses shortly, and I will do my best to bundle and package most packages by the end of the week!
If you are changing addresses soon, be careful to have the right address linked to your order. I will provide tracking for every order shipping out, but feel free to poke me whenever if you have any questions!
I can't wait to send everything your way at last <3
It's been A Few Weeks in this house, with several international conventions and some customs clearance scares, but I'm happy to share that the Gods and Monsters of Chinese Folk Lore pins are finally here!
The above is a preview of the unpacked pins; they will be shipped more securely than this.
And a detail of Qinglong, which turned out really lovely.
I have unpacked one of each to check them all, and I'm extremely happy with the final result <3
Fulfilment will pick up early June after having graded and carded all the pins, ordered shipping supplies, and restocked on the add-ons. I can't wait to be sending the pins your way :D
Thanks for supporting the project, and stay tuned for your package <3
Over the last month, my production partner has been working hard to produce all the pins for Gods and Monsters of Chinese Folk Tales, and I received good news yesterday: pin production has been completed!
I received a tracking code for four boxes (!) of enamel pins, which means the pins should probably be arriving at my doorstep in 1-2 weeks :D It's honestly the first time I am getting four boxes' worth of pins, so that's a little daunting haha. But I'm very excited to be able to share that we're all on schedule! 💪
In the month of May, I'm still pretty busy with several events (Fantasy Basel, MCM London, attending Dokomi as a visitor, and my newest Backerkit, Portent, launching too) but I will already start preparing what I can. The plan is to do all fulfilment in June.
Cross-collab pledges will be shipped out together with my collab partner, so these may take a bit longer.
Thanks so much for your support on this project <3 It is the best first Backerkit I could have hoped for!
Here's another update with progress pictures for Pintopia 2026 - Gods and Monsters of Chinese Folk Tales!
My manufacturing partner is hard at work and sends me a lot of updates, so I made a compilation of where we are around now. They are going incredibly fast and have said that the ETA of mid June is very doable, so fingers crossed <3
Not everything you see in these pictures is final; I have asked to add a chain to the stone lion pin set, and the freebie QJJ collab pin will still be plated in a pinkish chrome, but it should give you a good indication on where everything stands!
That said, I have given the survey a bit of extra time for last backers to fill it. But since I will be preparing to ship in the next month or two, I will be charging cards some time next week. Thanks so much for everyone who went through the survey and filled it out! I look forward to the moment when I can start assembling your rewards in packages and sending them your way <3
