Thank you for your continued patience and love! We are here to share some updates and future news for this campaign.
🆕 There was a couple weeks delay due to manufacturing and staffing issues, but that has since been resolved!
Here is the list of designs and their stages of completion for your reference: 100% Ready to ship on request: -Allen, Alucard, Bayonetta, Ciel, Joker, Kanda, Kakashi, L, Lelouch, Makima, Miku, Sesshomaru, Tomie, Ulquiorra, Wednesday, Yugi
🆕 Please let us know if your order only contains completed pins! We are able to expedite shipment on request.
🆕 Lastly, we have some production photos to share with you! All pins have completed their base color stage and are moving on to the screenprint stage. Do not worry if the colors look a little dark/saturated, as the highlights and effects are all printed on after :)
I am personally super impressed with how midna turned out with her gold magic thing going on! What do you think?
We have received the first batch of pins and these are currently going through inspection and packing right now! I took some pictures for you folks, please enjoy!
We would like to wait for the rest of the designs to arrive before starting the shipping process! However if your order only includes what is seen here (or only the previously produced designs) and will like to have it shipped out first, please drop us a message to let us know :)
Thank you for your patience, and that's all for today!
Just a couple of announcements and reminders today!
🆕 Thank you for submitting your surveys! Existing submissions have been locked and recorded. Payment has been collected to process our production.
🆕 Please let us know if you were unable to submit your survey or wish to change your order! We are here to help you however we can.
🆕 Lastly, we have some production photos to share with you! Kakashi, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha has passed the sampling stage and have been approved to go into full production.
🆕 I have two designs to share with you! (sakura was done earlier this week but I forgot to add her here)
I hope you like them!
🆕 Surveys have been sent out to everyone here so please check if you have received it! All of the new designs are also available for you using the backerkit pledge manager. Please let me know if there is anything missing!
🆕 With three days left, do not worry if your favorite character did not manage to get unlocked this campaign! [Gaze] III and more are definitely in the plans in future, and all current feedback and popularity results will be rolled over to the next campaign!
🆕Early production for Gaze II pins are in progress! Check out the work in progress in the photos below!
Color check and quality has mostly been approved for the pins designed for backerkit and we are moving on to the new pin designs done for II.b! *note that we are requesting a textured effect for Grimmjow's recessed portion which is not shown here*
We will be back soon with more production photos :D
👤 Here is Midna (True form) artwork reveal! Originally a backer comment suggestion, I wasn't expecting her to get so much love in the polls! She will be our first design featuring gold plating and hollow pin design. I hope you love her as much as I do and add her to your cart when the surveys are sent out!
🐆 Ann won the polls by a very small margin (when I counted the votes right before starting the artwork, I think 2B is actually leading now;;; )
Here is her artwork reveal~!
As both 2B and Lenalee both had a lot of interest in the previous polls, here is another chance to get your girl featured as a pin! Changing it up a little to a 4 way battle; same voting rules apply, lessgo!
🍓Ichigo finally won the votes and so here is his pin reveal! We are testing a new glow format in his pin where the red stripes will only show up in dark light and I can't wait to check out the effect physically! There will also be a textured effect in the backdrop.
🛒 Ichigo will be made available to backerkit users using the pledge manager at the end of the campaign. Do reach out to us if you wish to be invited to use the pledge manager in advance!
🤯 We are currently two stretch goals behind on the art end! Please help me vote for the next unlock; comments on IG will be counted tomorrow (post to go live ain 2 hours from now)
🌟 Just wanted to share I have completed a new design for the previous poll winner Sephiroth! And yes! this will also be made available to you too at the end of January! Do let me know if you wish to test out the addons in backerkit pledge manager and I can send you an early invite <3
Also....
🗳️ Please head over to my IG post to participate in the next voting! Maybe Ichigo can win this time? Or would it be Kaiba which has been much requested to match with Yugi? Or Luffy (I wonder how his design would turn out with my style)
✏️ I am finally done with these three designs and I hope you love them as much as I do!
👀 Sharp eyes may notice that there is one extra addition there which was not part of this campaign 👀
🔥 Lavi is added on as an unlock in theKickstarterversion of this campaign, Gaze II.b. Fret not as he (and other future designs unlocked in kickstarter) is also available for you~!
👌 As it is my first time using the backerkit pledge manager, I am slowly testing how this works with a couple backers to check if the add-on system works smoothly.
👌 Once this is all A-OK, we'll be sending out the surveys at the end of January where everyone else will be able to finalize your pin selections plus choose to get additional goodies as seen on kickstarter if you wish to so nobody misses out on anything!
📋 What can you do meanwhile? Please head over to thesurvey if you have not done so yet to feed me your two cents on what I should draw next! Or if you have already done the survey, options have been refreshed with some new characters so do check to see if the updated list has any of your faves.
📋 Why do I keep bugging people about the survey? Well I need to know what you will like to see next as I don't have my own opinion-
📋 We have a new series of stretch goals on Kickstarter that would unlock on 100 and 125 unique survey feedback! To make me draw faster, keep the opinions coming in :D
🤑 Also, pin draw winners have been credited S$20 to your backerkit pledge so do spend them on your free pin selection! (let me know if it doesn't work)
😫 This may have been a bit all over the place but I've been running around doing booths and drawing at the same time so I'm quite tired hahahaha anyway thank you for reading to the end!
Thank you for supporting our campaign, it is now complete!! 🏪 Preorder store open We are working on setting up the preorder store on backerkit so you will be able to continue shopping for additional pins or new designs when they are available. Please let us know if there are any issues using the store if you try it! 🎨 Artwork updates when Due to the current busy convention season, the artwork for Naruto and Sasuke will be postponed a little to the end of December when I can finally take a breather and complete the design 😅😅 🍀 Free pins draw We missed out on weeks 2-4 lucky draw previously , so here is a list of all 5 winners of 1 free pin for this campaign! You will be emailed for your choice of free pin near the end of December too!
Pre-launch week: Richard R
Week 1: SeaofFurballs
Week 2: Seren
Week 3: Taylor John
Week 4: Charlotte Kust
⚙️Production Production of the pins have started and we will be posting the progress on IG @tea_n_buns as often as we can! Please follow us to see these updates timely! 📝Surveys Last but not least, surveys will be sent out nearer to shipping fulfillment date when we are ready with the goods.
We have been quiet recently due to the back to back events we attended; Animaga @ Melbourne Convention Center and AFA @ Suntec Convention Center! We bring you great news from these events; due to the overwhelming enthusiasm for the pin designs and pre-orders we got, we are able to unlock all of the planned pins for this campaign!
That means Kakashi, Grimmjow, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru and our final pin unlock Sasuke, who won the popularity poll are all confirmed and will be sent in for production (except sasuke which will be designed soon before being sent in) !
And that's not all! We are adding ANOTHER bonus design that you can pledge for right now!
How can we do a Sasuke pin without Naruto? Yep he will also be designed as a pin, and has already been added to the campaign at early bird prices where you can pre-pledge before it all ends!
The artwork is due to be uploaded shortly after the campaign ends, so you can also choose to add on with the pledge manager at full price when you are ready to do so.
That is all for now! Thank you for the fantastic support so far and we will be back with another update real soon.
Thank you for participating in poll #2! Kakashi won and has been added as our next stretch goal (which is almost there!) He is also available in the add-ons now!
As Grimmjow had a really close vote count as Kakashi for a long time, I started working on his piece (in case he ended up winning) and I'm really happy with how he looks! His design will be the first we are integrating textured backgrounds to a Gaze pin (effect will be similar to our HSR pins) He has been added as our next-next stretch goal and also available in the add-ons :D
Which of these 2 do you think turned out better? (I'm voting Grimmjow)
Poll 3 is open now for voting! We are picking between the Millenium Earl, Usseewa girl and Sasuke this time! I'm really excited to work on all 3 of these but I'll need your help to know which to prioritize ❤️
Finally, our weekly winner from survey participation is ... SeaofFurballs! we will be emailing you about your prize soon :D
Oh and final finally, we are flying to Melbourne tonight to attend Animaga coming up this weekend! Come by and say hi if you're in the area ❤️
Thank you for getting our campaign funded on day 1!
Sesshomaru is unlocked and Inuyasha is almost there! We would update the art for the free pin cloth all early backers will get soon :)
We have a few reminders for our dear backers:
Do help share the campaign if you can to help us hit future stretch goals
Participate in the surveys/polls if you have not done so
5 lucky winners would get a free pin of your choice, including pre-pledge week!
Remember to update your google survey response to indicate your backer ID/username to qualify for the pre-campaign week draw! we will pick a winner tomorrow, so please do this if you wish to qualify!
Our early bird pricing (10% off) will close after the first 48 hours! Do complete your shopping to not miss out on the discounts <3
