A lovely commenter suggested including the Baku pin as an unlockable add-on, and we loved the idea... so we did! If 5 people add the Baku pin as an add-on, then it will be officially unlocked as well!
Thank you all for your support this campaign. We can't wait to get these pins to you!
We're only $42 away from unlocking our first premium pin!
Have you considered brushing twice a day?
Design commentary from Lee:
This was a common nightmare for me when I had to start wearing a retainer. I guess my subconscious hated having a foreign object in my mouth all night and decided to haunt me.... but we're on better terms now :)
Just a few more orders to unlock this design and reveal our next premium pin design -- check it out here!
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who backed us so far! We already unlocked the first 2 (TWO!!) pin designs, the evergreen “Something’s chasing me!” and “Something’s watching me!”
Doesn’t get more classic than those two, amiright?
That said… one of those is definitely worse than the other… but which one?
But we’re just getting started — now it’s time to unlock the first PREMIUM PIN! Keep sharing the project with your friends, because after we unlock this one… the 2nd premium pin’s design will be revealed!
Baku are mythological creatures in Japanese folklore that are said to eat nightmares. While they are commonly depicted as a tapir, we wanted this pin design to callback to their roots as chimera by augmenting the tapir body with tiger claws, elephant tusks, and a cow's tail. The pose and colors are also inspired by folk art depictions of baku and other mythological creatures for a fun splash of color!

The Baku pin will be available for unlock as part of the campaign. It's looking forward to finding a new host to feed on...
