A parade of monsters starts in the shadowy edges of existence and can be seen walking the streets every night between late October and early November. The parade hosts everything between friendly ghosts and dangerous ogres. Beware, for the supernatural is afoot.

Welcome to the Yokai Ghost Parade!

This year's Pintober, I am bringing you 7 all-new yokai enamel pins:

All pins will be on the bigger side (6-7 cm or ~2.5-3 inches) with gold plating, UV printing, my logo stamped onto the back, and of course a quality check <3

Back the Yokai Ghost Parade in the first 48 hours to claim your free 7-cm Yuki Onna sticker.

The Yokai Ghost Parade is partnering up with Fall times with Floris the Frog. If you support both projects, you will get our exclusive awards: a little tanuki (from Appel) and a kappa phone charm (from me). This acrylic phone charm has a resin finish and perfectly fits inside the add-on Mystery Phone Charm set.

Pintober is a collective of creatives. If you back the Yokai Ghost Parade and 2+ other enamel pin projects within Pintober, you get to claim the Pintober-exclusive: a mini skull taiyaki pin for your collection of trick-or-treat pins!

At €1.000, the Yokai Ghost Parade is funded! The first available designs are the Yuki Onna and Red Oni.

When we reach €1.500, all pledges get one free set of the above three yokai stickers (~7cm).

The Kitsune joins the parade! From this point onward, you are able to select the kitsune as one of your enamel pins.

At €2.500, all pledges get one free bookmark added to their rewards!

This design is still being worked on.

The Karasu Tengu's wings carry him down the clouds to join the parade.

When the Karasu Tengu is unlocked, this design will become available to pick from in the backer survey.

At this point, all enamel pins that will be unlocked will get an extra glitter/pearl/other effects update! This means a fancier pin. It also counts for any future color alternatives that will become unlocked.

The Yamata no Orochi slithers in to join the parade.

When the total pledge reaches €4.000, the Yamata no Orochi enamel pin will become available to select in the backer survey.

At €4.000, I will make a unique tarot-like art card with a description on the back. You will get one matching card for every unique yokai enamel pin design you choose, and it will be included in your rewards.

This design is still being worked on.

Shy and quiet, the one-eyed Hitotsume Kozou wants to know what is up.

At €5.000, this yokai joins the available designs to pick from!

The kitsune is mischievous and full of danger, but also one that gives me boundless inspiration. As a thanks for your support, I am adding a free A5-sized art print of this kitsune to the rewards.

At €6.000, the nekomata steps out of the shadows to complete the Yokai Ghost Parade.

From this point onward, the full set is available in the rewards!

The spooky season needs a €6.666 tier! So to celebrate reaching this momentous pledge total, unique color options become available for the full set. You can choose these designs in your backer survey.

For all backers who get 2+ enamel pins, you will receive a free mini lanyard uniquely designed for the Yokai Ghost Parade as the pledge total reaches €7.000.

My absolute guilty pleasure stretch goal: once we reach this level, all yokai pins will have an extra color alternative in full Halloween style, complete with green plating!

To display your collection of yokai enamel pins, I will crash course myself through learning how to make STLs and test a ton of prototypes to create a unique Yokai Ghost Parade-themed pin display suitable for multiple collection sizes (so also interesting if you only get one pin)!

The Yokai Ghost Parade isn't just enamel pins; you can also grab phone charms, tote bags, a hoodie, and stationery. In the add-ons are also some of my lanyards and older pins. Check out the add-on section for a full view.

New for the Yokai Ghost Parade: mystery phone charms! These acrylic phone charms with glitter resin are mystery bags, which means you don't know in advance which design you are going to get. You will be able to select a mystery number in the backer survey, and each number corresponds with a design. To keep things transparent, I will post a chart online with the numbers and the matching designs shortly before shipping.

The phone charms are also available as a complete set.

The kappa and lantern phone charms you can also get as part of the Yokai Ghost Parade were designed as (exclusive) parts of this same set.

The following tote bags and a hoodie were made especially for the occasion! You will be able to select your hoodie size (S-5XL) in the backer survey later on, and all hoodies will be made to order. Note that a hoodie is big and heavy and, because shipping is weight-based, your shipping might be higher as a result.

I am a stationery nerd, so the Yokai Ghost Parade was an excuse to also make: a little A6 sticker book and an ~A6 memo pad (10x14 cm).

Your pledge does not yet include shipping. This will be included in the survey after the campaign ends. To give you an estimate, these are the expected fees for your area:

Packages are sent out from The Netherlands and shipped with PostNL or Deutsche Post. All shipping includes tracking.

For US residents, your final amount will also include a 15% upcharge for your pledge amount to prepay your tariffs before they ship out. Please take this into consideration before pledging.

If you are considering a hoodie, keep in mind that the estimates above are based on a letterbox package for enamel pins, and a hoodie is bigger and heavier. I don't quite know how high your exact shipping will be, but a hoodie adds another 1-1.5kg to the package, so expect €10-€15 extra to be safe.

All pin designs are ready for production, and most of the add-ons are either produced in-house or have a short production time frame. That means my anticipated timeline is:

Hi, thanks for checking out my project! I am Natasja, a D&D, danmei, fantasy and occasionally a comic artist residing in the Netherlands. You may know me from my Fifth Edition adventure campaigns over on Kickstarter, from Instagram, my previous Backerkit project Portent which is currently also being worked on, or maybe from one of the various artist alleys I frequent in the Netherlands, Germany, and thereabouts? But no matter which path led you, happy to see you here <3

You can check out some of the previous pins I made in my online store.

The Yokai Ghost Parade is part of Pintober 2026, and it is filled with projects that I personally really love, too. Here are some of my favorites!
