Hey everyone!!!

I finished up the backer voted pin! Meet Derpy and Sussie! They will be a 2” normal pin, black plating!

For the pins that didn’t win the poll (like the forest spirit) I’ll try my best to have them done for the reward survey. The forest spirit is a lot more detailed than the other 3 choices so I cant make any promises but I’ll do my absolute best to make sure I have available to unlock on the survey. If the forest spirit does not make it to the survey I promise it’ll appear whenever I next do media monsters 3!

How did yall like the double poll system? I worry it was a bit confusing, but until Backerkit implements a multi choice selection poll this is the best way to let everyone’s vote matter. If we left it to the one poll Neopets would’ve won by a decent margin. It was almost last place on the 2nd poll. (I do hope to be able to finish a Neopet or two for the survey though since they’re all a pretty simple design… and yall may have made me log back into my Neopets account and feed my pets for the first time in 1.5 years)

Finally! For those of you interested in HSR, the Phainon campaign only has a day and a half left! This one is a single pin passion project of mine I’ve been wanting to do for a while now! There will be a shipping credit on this campaign for folk who order the Phainon pin!

I appreciate all y’all’s support and I look forward to continuing to bring yall along the design process and continue to keep making the pins y’all want to see most! Plus yall keep me young with suggestions like Vicar.

If you want more behind the scenes, to just chat with me, or to otherwise watch me suffer in real time, please come hang out on my discord! 

I also tend to bounce ideas off the folk in my discord when prepping for campaigns and I often take inspiration for future projects from them. Like some requested I do cryptids and it’s changed my biblically accurate animals campaign into biblically accurate animals & cryptids for next years Pintopia. 

I probably won’t be posting another update until after the campaign closes as I am going to try to take this week off and then get to work making the pins for the survey but know I couldn’t have done any of this without yall and I cannot wait to bring these pins to life!

Hey everyone!

Smoke tests will drop on Monday and surveys will go out shortly after! Before that I wanted to introduce the survey stretch goals and poll y’all if you wanted to see the goose as a pin!

How do survey unlocks work?

Survey unlocks lets me add new pins after the campaign is over. If X amount of people add them onto their survey they unlock and get made! This allows me to make extra pins I wouldn’t have been able to make otherwise once the campaign is over 💕

New Pins:

I want to make the other 2 starters but unfortunately I was busy getting the rest of the adventure buddies out the door today and now I’m on mandatory rest from my therapist and doctors >.< one day when I make the other 2 I’ll let yall know!

Two new Soot Sprites! I will likely blind bagged the soot sprites after the campaign is over. So if you want to pick choose now!

5 new Kougra! These will be blind bagged AFTER the campaign so if you want to pick your Kougra now’s the time to do it!

And finally 2 new Kacheek colorways! Again the Kacheek will be blind bagged AFTER the campaign. So now’s your time to pick which ones you want!

~~~~~~~~~

Finally, do y’all want the goose as a pin? If there’s at least 10 people who would add it for $12 I’ll add it to the survey!

Thank you all so much!!! I’m on mandatory vacation from my medical providers so outside of sending out the survey I may be a little MIA for the next 2 weeks. If I’m not please yell at me lol.

Surveys go out on Monday!!! Thank you all again!!! I’ve started production on the molds for the pins so hopefully I can get them moving pretty quick!

If you want these pins and you didn’t back the campaign you can get them from the preorder store!

Hey everyone!

First and foremost thank you all so much. I’m so excited to get this set of babies made!

The pre-order store is also open for those of you who missed the main campaign!

Survey timeline:

Surveys will be distributed on March 2nd! This gives time for payment errors and the like! It will be open for 2 weeks until 16th. After that I’ll be beginning production.

Production:

I already have molds in production. As soon as I get counts in I’ll get those moving! I am using a new manufacturer for some pins due to the issues some may remember from the light dragon fiasco lol. She is great she’s also a small business owner around my age and she does free samples for me but because of that production times are a little slower. Everything should still come in and begin shipping by the timeline!

Fulfillment:

For those of you who have been with me for a while you know I have autoimmune and other health issues. I developed a reaction to my meds and my health has been having really fishy the past few months while we try to find a new med.

However, last year was dedicated to finding ways around that and I now have a new and absolutely wonderful part timer Sam who helps with order fulfillment and CraftQuest comes by once a quarter to help out too (go give all the love to CraftQuest - aka the person who ran the Quacken campaign). For those of you who hung with me last year things should be smoother and more efficient this year!
