Hello backers, I got news from the manufacturer that the pins are ready to ship to me! And you can find a few more pin production photos in the backers-only section below. 

It should take 1-2 weeks for the pins to reach me once they ship, assuming there's no shipping delays. After that it'll be another 1-2 weeks while I grade the pins. So ETA for the pins to get to you all is November at the latest. 

Once I have the pins graded, I will send an update with all the pin photos, and surveys will be unlocked for 48 hours if you’d like to make any last-minute changes to your selections. Just a reminder: if you change your selections at this time, and there are an insufficient number of pins to cover your new selections, you may have to select a different design or receive a seconds-grade pin. Pin grading entails sorting the pins as standard (one or two minor flaws) or seconds (more noticeable flaws). You can find my pin grading policy in my About Page/FAQ. If there are serious issues with any of the batches I will let you all know.

Thank you all very much for your patience, and I hope you all love your pins once you receive them. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments.

I also wanted to share that my new campaign Eldritch Pantheon is launching next week on October 20. This campaign features designs inspired by Greek and Egyptian mythology. You can suggest and vote on a community pin design on the pre-launch page. Eldritch Pantheon is partnered with Animals in Fall - Enamel pins Collection, if you pledge to both campaigns you'll receive exclusive freebies. Animals in Fall is part of this year's Pintober event, if you're interested in even more autumn or Halloween pins, check out the rest of the Pintober campaigns! 

I wanted to give you all assurance that I am committed to fulfilling Forgotten Fables first and foremost. Usually I like to completely wrap up one campaign before launching another but the Forgotten Fables production has been slower than expected so there is a little overlap. I anticipate Forgotten Fables to overlap only with the funding stage of Eldritch Pantheon, so it should not conflict with fulfillment. If you've pledged to previous campaigns, you'll know this sort of overlap has happened before but hasn't caused any issues. 

If the Eldritch Pantheon campaign sounds interesting to you I hope you'll consider pledging. But I understand if you prefer to wait for this campaign's pins first before pledging. If you miss the Eldritch Pantheon campaign, just like with Forgotten Fables there will be a post-campaign preorder store. If you have any questions or concerns you can leave them in the comments. Thanks for your support and patience!
