Hello backers, I have graded the pins and finally have pin photos for you all! But before those, some reminders: you should have received an email from Backerkit about your surveys. These have been unlocked, and will be locked again in 48 hours.

If you change your selections at this time or have not yet submitted your survey, and there are an insufficient number of pins to cover your selections, you may be asked to receive a B-grade pin or a different design. In this case you will receive an email, please make sure you can access your Backerkit email. If you would like more information on my pin grading system, please see my About Page & FAQ.

Once surveys are locked again I will charge cards, and addresses will be locked as well, and shipping will begin. Be sure to check your payment information and shipping address are correct. If you lost your survey, you can recover it here. If your payment fails, please resolve it promptly. Unlike in previous campaigns I will not be offering extensions past the payment deadline for anyone with a failed payment or late survey. The deadline will be 24 hours after the last package in this initial batch of shipments is dropped off, I will send an update as a final notice.

Contact Backerkit support or use this link if there are any issues with your rewards. I can accommodate replacements or exchanges if needed. Make sure to reach out as soon as you receive your package, and if a pin or other item is missing/damaged please say which one in your message. Do not message me on social media or via my shops, if you do that I may miss your message.

If you're interested in purchasing mystery seconds pins, the seconds grade mystery bag listing has been updated with an increased quantity, as well as a discounted listing for purchasing three bags.

I also made a few sticker sheets of the BG3 Cat Companions and added some leftover Cyberpunk Oni pins, a limited quantity of each is available in the Addons section. There's also listings for miscolored pins (read on for more details).

The Crymorebrand Astarion and KPDH Power of Friendship pins are still in production. Additionally, the KPDH Doomed Lovers, Selunite Shadowheart, Snow Leopard Astarion, and Caracal Lae'zel pins had enamel fill color mistakes, and are being remade (the pins with color mistakes are available for a discount in the Addons section). If you selected one of these designs your shipment will be delayed until they arrive, if you prefer to receive your order immediately please be sure to remove these designs before surveys lock again. I estimate the delay to be about 4-6 weeks but possibly longer. 

If you select one of these pins, your order will be locked along with everyone else's, but addresses will be locked at a later date when these items are ready to ship. Please keep in mind you will not be able to edit your order later if you change your mind about these pins. I do not have photos or videos of them beyond what has been shared already; for the KPDH designs the colors will be similar to the other KPDH pins.

The Raphael pin has a small enamel fill mistake, it turns out this section was too small and the enamel was removed when polished (a part of the process for hard enamel). Since this couldn't be fixed even with a remake the pins will be sent as-is, if this missing enamel bothers you please be sure to select a different design.

For the gradient/pearl enamel and rainbow plated pins, please expect variation as these effects are unique for each pin. The colors may differ from the ones shown in my photos and videos. You can search online for more examples of how rainbow plating can turn out.

For pins with chrome plating I observed the plating creating a tint in the enamel quite a lot with this batch of pins, in particular with pins with pale enamel. Please keep this in mind and adjust your selections if this bothers you. I tried to sort the pins so backers will get the best of the batch but this sort of tint will not be considered a flaw since it's across all the chrome plated pins. 

I'm truly sorry about the delays and so many issues with the pins this time around, I've never had such a lengthy production process and so many widespread mistakes before. I was already planning on taking a break from pin campaigns after this one but these issues have really cemented that decision. If I come back to pins hopefully it will go more smoothly, and I'll be definitely making fewer designs at once if I do make more pins in the future. 

Anyway, on to more fun matters. Here are the pins! If you are viewing this in email and the pictures are small, please click through to the full update on Backerkit to view them at full size. 

I've also posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments. I'll be back with another update to let you know when the initial batch of orders have shipped out to you.
