Hello! Thank you all for your patience as I work with my manufacturer to get the colors of these pins just right. There were, as predicted, some production delays due to proofing edits. The Cheetahs and Wolves were the most complex and as such required the most edits, I am still waiting on final photos for these designs. Stickers are on their way to me and I should have the rest of them in hand soon, though they were sent to another address as I suspected. So here is the updated timeline, as of now:
NOW (September 5-15) 

Approximately September 15-30 

Approximately October 1-15

Approximately October 15-31

This pushes back the rewards ship date by one month from my estimated timeline. As a thank you, all backers will be receiving a bonus in their rewards. I'm currently designing a couple of things for this, but there will be a poll later once I have them rounded out!

And now, some tasty pin photos! (Yes they are naked, these are pre-print proofs, final pins will include print)

These are all the approved complex or combination pins (enamel with transparent/'stained glass' effects) other pin designs are still in the proofing phase. Once the final complex proofs are approved I'll post another update with those here! I'll be out of state again for Rose City Comic Con next week (if you're in the Portland area, come say hi!) but I'll be back by the 16th.

One last thing, I decided last minute to join the Super League of Science 2026! If you'd like to follow my campaign, the prelaunch page is here:

Returning Backers (people who have supported my past backerkit campaigns), Early Bird Backers (those who pledge within the first 24 hours), and Prelaunch Followers (anyone who follows the campaign before launch and pledges) all get a different special bonus sticker! 

Thank you all again for your support, I'll be back with another update later this month,
Starr Vipi
