THANK YOU! What happens now?
Ahhhhh what a campaign! And what final hours... *it was heart-stopping* ૮꒰ ˵⊙ ꒳ ⊙˵ ꒱ა"
THANK YOU ALL for such an amazing result! ૮꒰っ ˵ಢ ꒳ ಢ˵꒱აっ❀°。We can't wait to move forward...
Just wanted to let you know that surveys' orders have been locked for all who filled them in, so it won't be possibile to make items-related changes anymore from now on. But addresses are still open and editable, and will remain so, until we start actually shipping rewards.
We'll charge cards starting from Wednesday May 8 and then start the production ૮₍⍝ • ﻌ • ⍝₎ა
Please know that for the post-campaign stretch goals we are thinking about going through with them anyway, even if we reach a lower goal, since after a long discussion with our manufacturer, they might offer lower MOQs for bulk production. So, for now, they will remain on hold (not charged) and still open for purchase.
Pre-orders have been extended as well due to the popular demand, until May 10 for now ^ꈊ^ ♡
Also, a large portion of you has not yet filled their survey out. Please, if you're among those, do it as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to send you your rewards once the surveys are officially closed for good.
Hey Backers Frens! We've heard you loud and clear: so many of you have been asking us to create hoodies (both zippered and non-zippered) featuring the other Bin Buddies! And we just couldn't say no... we've just added new goals to unlock these adorable new designs and we're absolutely thrilled! - ̗̀꒰ ฅ ˵╹ ヮ ╹˵ ฅ꒱ ̖́-
At first, we were a little hesitant because reaching such a high goal seemed a bit ambitious... but in the end, we thought... why not go for it?! That's what this campaign is all about, and we really wanted to make everyone happy as much as possible! If we don't unlock them right away, we could definitely do it in the future~
Also, we've added a new tier dedicated exclusively to the zippered hoodies! So there's no way to get confused now. But don't worry, in the survey after the campaign, both tiers will allow you to choose between the zippered hoodie and the non-zippered one regardless -based on the designs unlocked during the campaign.
And we've also made a Bundle Pledge Level (and add-on tier) so you can snag 3 hoodies all at once with a discounted price, now that we have more designs to unlock!
The option B won in the poll, so we've added new stretch goals according to that and the zippered hoodie with Peanut the Opossum is the first in the line! We also added new pledge levels and add-on tiers: so you can now specifically pledge or add to your pledge tote bags and joggers ̖́-
In fact, other than the newest additions in the stretch goals (Bin the Racoon Joggers and Tote Bag),
more items have been also included as stretch goals: Peanut the Opossum zippered hoodie, followed by Peanut's Beanie, Peanut's Joggers and Peanut's Tote Bag!
But we also have new Pin banners! Both for Peanut the Opossum and Bin the Raccoon~
If we manage to unlock everything quickly, we're even thinking about adding more apparel and accessories for other Bin Buddies -as well as new kind of items! We've tons of ideas and we're so excited ✧˖°
Hey Backers Frens! Wanted to share with you the first Hoodie sample photos, it came out simply gorgeous! ˵ಢ ꒳ ಢ˵ Can't wait for it to arrive in our hands so we can shoot even more pics ✈️૮꒰ つ ╹꒳╹ ꒱つ✨
This sample is in the S/M size -for reference: ʜᴀɴɢɪɴɢ ʜᴏᴏᴅɪᴇ
In the meantime, we're thinking of making a cute pair of comfy matching Joggers as well and a matching Tote Bag too! 👀
ᴄᴏᴍꜰʏ 'ʙɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴀᴄᴄᴏᴏɴ' ᴊᴏɢɢᴇʀꜱ
ʜᴜɢᴇ 'ʙɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴀᴄᴄᴏᴏɴ' ᴛᴏᴛᴇ ʙᴀɢ
So, please vote in the Poll below if you'd like for us do add these two new items as next Stretch Goals! ꒰˶^ ㅅ ^˶꒱⬇️
Hey Backers Frens! We succesfully reached and exceeded 41K, so the new Bin Buddies and new variants are all unlocked (as long as everything remains stable and we don't drop below this goal ofc)
As anticipated, we now will add more stretch goals: which will be for Bin the Raccoon Tote Bag and Joggers (as they were positively voted in the previous poll) and maybe something more (always with Bin) 👀✨
But in the meantime, we have a new poll for even more stretch goals after them! Please vote on whether for the apparel of the other Bin Buddies (those who are not Bin the Raccoon), you would prefer to have:
A: the exact same items as Bin the Raccoon, but with the other Bin Buddies on, and in different colors.
ᴇxᴀᴍᴘʟᴇ ɪᴍᴀɢᴇ OR
B: different types of clothing for each different Bin Buddy. For example, Bin the Raccoon has an oversized hoodie, Peanut the Opossum has a zippered hoodie, Nugget the puppy has a jacket, etc.
ᴇxᴀᴍᴘʟᴇ ɪᴍᴀɢᴇ
We'd love to create apparel for all the Bin Buddies, but there are some limitations, of course... To make up for that, and still offer a wider selection, we've been thinking about option B -which would allow us to create a variety of clothing with different designs and characters, without incurring in a form of 'repetitiveness'.
Omg we managed unlocking everything and even beyond!! We're so overwhelmed with your love! We can't believe it ꒰˵ಢ ꒳ ಢ˵꒱
Now? ɴᴇᴡ ʙɪɴ ʙᴜᴅᴅɪᴇꜱ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴀᴅᴅᴇᴅ -Now, as promised, a new Bin Buddy will be added to the crew, according to who wonthis poll. Since Midnight the Crow and Sniffles the Rat were so close, we decided to adding them both as new enamel pins Stretch goals! So be prepared for them to arrive soon and to be already unlocked (we're currently doing our best to design them asap) ૮꒰ ˶•̀ ヮ •́ ˶꒱ა و ̑̑
ɴᴇᴡ ᴘʟᴜꜱʜɪᴇꜱ ꜱᴛʀᴇᴛᴄʜ ɢᴏᴀʟꜱ And since the most voted option among new products to add (in this other poll) is Plushie, we decided to add all the "original crew" missing designs as plushie to be unlocked! This means that: Peanut the Opossum, Cupacke the Pigeon, Spike the Skunk and Nugget the Gold Stray Puppy will all become pledgiable plushies too from now on! Gonna add the stretch goals graphics for them to be unlocked very soon and put their sample into works asap as well~
If everything will be unlocked again, we're gonna add the new Bin Buddies (Midnight the Crow and Sniffles the Rat) as plushies too! And maybe also Nugget the Stray puppy as acrylic keychain (which is currently not available yet) and perhaps also Midnight the Crow and Sniffles the Rat, later on?! 😍
ɴᴇᴡ ᴘᴏʟʟ >In the meantime, before adding new plushies, we wanted to add a cute Bin beanie 👀🦝 to match with the Hoodie, and also a cute Kiki-shaped Pin Banner! Please vote in the poll below if you'd like to have them added!
Here's a better view of them (they're still in the sketch phase rn)~
We'd actually like to expand the entire Apparel Line, making maybe a joggers, socks, oversized crewneck, t-shirts, university jacket... ꒰˵ಢ ꒳ ಢ˵꒱✨
Thanks again for sharing all your overloading love for trash with us! ฅ꒰˶> ヮ <˶꒱ฅ ̖́-🗑️ Bin Buddies are so happy to have you as their new frens ♡
Well, just wanted to let you know -for those who didn't notice it yet- that we added new stretch goals for the other Bin Buddies plushies (and we already unlocked them! ฅ꒰˶> ヮ <˶꒱ฅ ̖́-) And we also added two Pledge Levels & Add-ons for the Kiki Pin Banner and for the Beanie -some of you already pledged for them/added them! Gonna finalize the Pin banner design -according to the one that won the Poll- and post the final design soon as well ₍=^ ᵕ ꒳ ᵕ̤ ^=₎ฅ❀°。
Hi Backers Frens! We're here with a preview of the New Bin Buddies added! Midnight the Crow and Sniffles the Rat (already unlocked and pledgiable, as previously mentioned). We really hope you like them both ꒰ ˵ಢ ꒳ ಢ˵꒱ And prepare yourselves for even more to come soon! 👀✨
We'll include their graphics on the campaign page asap tomorrow, together with some other surprises!
Also, we wanted to let you know we added a Pledge Level and an Add-on tier for both the Bin's Beanie and the Kiki-shaped Pin Banner! So these are now also unlocked and pledgiable -we'll do our best to add their finalized graphics on the campaign page as well. It's really hard to keep pace, but we're incredibly happy of that ˶> ヮ <˶
Regarding the Pin Banner, there's a new poll we'd love you to vote in! To choose which of the two (or maybe both) will be the final version! You can cast your vote below~
New Polls will continue to arrive in the coming days as we aim to add lots more goodies! We can already tell you that we want to create more hoodie designs and most likely some joggers and a tote bag (maybe even a certain bat alley friend hanging upside down 👀).
Bin the raccoon has many friends! We already have an opossum, a pigeon, a skunk, an alley cat, and a stray puppy... but he's looking forward to expanding his gang with new fantastic friends! ꒰„ ╹ ᴥ ╹ „꒱ ̖́-
Just wanted to quickly update you that most of the charges have been successfully processed, and production is gearing up to start soon! We're currently putting the finishing touches on the production files to send to our manufacturers. All the missing samples are in progress, and we are tweaking the ones that are already completed but not quite meeting our desired final result yet. Hopefully we'll be able to show some photos to you soon~
If you haven't filled out your survey yet, please do so as soon as possible before we close surveys for good. Having the exact item counts is crucial for our production process.
We're also still crunching the numbers to determine if we'll definitely move forward with creating the new Hoodie designs (post-campaign Stretch Goals), in discussions with our manufacturer. We'll keep you posted on whether or not we'll be bringing them to life in the end.
Additionally, we've extended Pre-orders until May 20th to give everyone who missed the campaign more time~
Thank you for your continued support and patience. Stay tuned for more updates (hopefully) soon!
Great news! The smoke test was successful, and we didn't encounter any issues. As a result, we've now sent out the remaining surveys to all backers. Please take a moment to complete your survey as soon as possible and keep an eye on your inbox to ensure you've received it correctly. Your prompt responses will help us move forward smoothly~
ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ᴅᴇᴇᴘᴇʀ ɪɴꜰᴏ: 📨 Remember, there's no need to worry about the charge just yet - we will only charge backers' cards when the surveys are closed, as we will begin production of the rewards. 💳
❗In fact, the charge will occur only after the surveys have been closed and productionhas started, not immediately after your survey's completion. This also applies to any potential additional add-ons, pledge upgrades, shipping costs, and pre-orders! When your reward selections are finalized and your cards are charged, you will still be able to update your shipping address (in case of a move or other similar necessitiies) up until we lock the addresses right before we start shipping. 📨 So, remember: this time, charges will happen when we close surveys and production starts 💳 Due dates coming soon~
Please note:naturally, if the charge of your card in Backerkit will result in errored/failed payment, you'll not receive your rewards.
If you're having trouble finding your survey, make sure to check your spam folder. And if you've used your apple id as your backer e-mail, no worries - just shoot us a message so we can update your e-mail address and get your survey to you pronto! 🍎
Once you've filled out your survey, you can always go back and make changes before we close them up for good with final counts. So don't stress if you're not sure about something at first - you can always come back to it later. 👌
But if you don't submit your survey by the deadline, your shipment might be delayed. So make sure to fill it out ASAP so we can get the ball rolling on production! - ̗̀꒰ ฅ ˵╹ ヮ ╹˵ ฅ꒱ ̖́-🚀

Life got pretty hectic and took over in the worst way possible 😔 Therefore, things just kept piling up and we didn't catch a break! Building surveys for this campaign has been quite challenging this time - we encountered many issues. We hope all our efforts will be worth it, and we can provide you with a smooth survey experience with all the things we've set { ˵◕´ ꈊ `◕˵ }❀°.
