The pins are finally here! They arrived after sunset so I can't take nicer photos until tomorrow, but I needed to get this update out. I'll come back to edit this update with better photos when I get a chance, or I'll just include them in the final update.I've updated the photos! 💜
Addresses are re-locking in 48 hours! Pledges with successfully paid shipping will go out on Monday, August 17th!
Combined Pledges
If you requested to combine your pledge with Patchkins Plushies, this pledge is marked as fulfilled and there will be no tracking number given. Your Patchkins Plushies tracking number will have your combined rewards!
Final Failed Payment Warning
My final attempt to recharge errored/declined shipping payments on my end is tomorrow, August 14th. After that date, any failed shipping charges will be left up to the backer to initiate. At the time of writing, there are 3 of you.
You have until fulfillment is completed for all pledges to fix these payment issues. Otherwise your pledge will be considered a donation and you won't receive your rewards. Your time is running out, so please get them fixed ASAP! I'll post an official deadline for stragglers once fulfillment is wrapping up, which should be in less than a week.
I look forward to getting your rewards out! 💜
EDIT: All surveys have been filled out, all payments have succeeded, and all packages are going out on Monday, August 17!
If you need me for issues with your package or anything else, please reach out via email at [email protected]. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on updates, though I will periodically check for them.
Thank you all for your support! See you all in my future projects ♥
Just a quick update to say the pins being shipped to me from the manufacturer has been delayed due to a typhoon. My manu assures me they're safe, but the factory itself is temporarily closed due to the weather. I only found out about this tonight, since she told me 5 days ago that the pins were finished so I was just waiting for them with no idea 😭
Since it's peak moving season, addresses have been re-unlocked for safety. Just wanted to give a heads up that the future duplicate "address lock warning" email isn't a bug, I'm just being cautious :)
Did you pledge to Patchkins Plushies AND Patchkins Pride Pins? You should have an email from me in your inbox sent roughly an hour ago about the option to combine your pledges into one package (if both pledges have a successful shipping charge)! Check it out and get back to me ASAP 💜
I'll wait until I have the pins in-hand before I lock addresses again :)
The pins are wrapping up production and will be on their way to me in the next week or two! Cards will be charged for shipping and any survey add-ons on Tuesday, August 4th. You'll still be able to edit your address until I receive the pins and you'll get an email notice when those are going to lock.
I'll post a final update with pics once I get the pins in-hand :) Leftovers will be available in my shop after pledges are fulfilled!
If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]. I don't get timely notifications for comments left on Backerkit updates, but I'll check for them periodically.
With orders locked and all surveys completed, here are the final counts for pin orders and the announcement for the top 3 winners!
Screenshot from the Patchkins Pride Pins pledge manager showing the order counts for all pins!
Ezra the Rainbow Fox, Haru the Asexual Bunny, and Pippin the Pansexual Puppy are the winners!

Here are their full designs that'll be offered as plush for the Pride 2027 campaign!
Designs are subject to tweaks as I see fit before prototyping their plush counterparts, but they should largely remain similar to this! :)
Be sure to follow my Backerkit so you don't miss their Pride campaign announcement around April 2027!
Thank you all for your support on this campaign as a ways to help me see which are the most desired flags! I have my own biases, so I'm really glad I could get all of your input~
Pins are full speed ahead in production, so I'll be back with another update once they're wrapping up production so I can charge you all for shipping :)
Until then, if you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] ♥
Surveys are closing & orders are locking on July 17th after 11:59 PM CST!
This is your chance to make any last-minute selections and/or changes. You won't be charged for shipping yet, and you'll still be able to update your address as needed.
Thanks so much for the majority of you guys filling out your surveys quickly! Because of this, I was able to place the pin order sooner than scheduled. As of writing, we're only waiting on 1 backer to complete their survey. All surveys are completed, thank you!!
Once all surveys are closed & orders are locked, I'll post another update to announce the top 3 ordered pins— aka the winners who will become plush for Pride 2027! :D
If you need me for issues with your survey or anything else, please reach out via email at [email protected]. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on updates, though I will periodically check for them.
Just a quick update to let you all know that surveys have started rolling out! They will close on July 17th at 11:59PM CST, so be sure to fill yours out by then to guarantee you get the rewards you want.
Cards won't charge for survey add-ons/shipping until pins are finished and on their way to me. And you'll still be able to edit your address after surveys close.
Reminder for backers with failed pledge payments— If there is no successful payment by July 11th at 11:59PM CST, your pledge will be considered abandoned and will be canceled. You will also be put on my blacklist and will be blocked by Backerkit staff from supporting any of my future campaigns.
Yes, I will still cancel your failed payment pledge even if you fill out the survey. Payment is required by the above deadline to keep your pledge.
If you have any questions or issues, please email me at [email protected] for assistance. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on updates, though I will periodically check for them.
Next Backerkit update— On July 15th for the 48-hour survey lock reminder ♥
