From the warm oceans of the Cambrian period, all the way to the mighty Paleolithic mammals that lived beside our ancestors, Paleo Pals is a celebration of Earth's diverse biology from all eras of life! Toadstown is excited to present a set of collection of 1.5" painted enamel pins featuring a parade of prehistoric animals, as part of the Beasts & Botanicals collab.

The initial campaign goal will fund all four of the banner pins, with stretch goals past that covering other periods of history, and the most famous animals of that era!

Fellow dino lover YuuniNya and I are offering exclusive cross-collab incentives! Pledge to both Paleo Pals and Puppysaurs Pins Series 2 to receive TWO free exclusive stickers, one from each campaign! The stickers above should automatically add itself to your Paleo Pals pledge as a freebie if you qualify.

You will NOT be able to select or add this sticker as part of your pledge or add-on option, so make sure to show your support if you wanna grab it!

All five of these designs are unlocked from the get-go, covered by the campaign's $750 goal. Each dyed enamel pin measures 40mm (~1.5") and is screenprinted with its unique design.

Shipping will be calculated and collected after the campaign when you fill out your survey form, based on your location! 

Shipping will be done as a flat rate via USPS, and will include tracking. Please refer to the numbers below as ESTIMATES, and note these numbers are subject to change at any time:

For International Backers: VAT tax is not collected by the survey, so you are responsible for paying your country's import tax, if any. Tariff costs will be mitigated where possible: I do not expect them to play a factor in the projected fall shipping period, but should any additional shipping costs be necessary, all backers will be informed in future campaign updates.

The timeline estimate is as follows: 

Backers will be informed of any potential changes to the timeline. Stay up-to-date with the campaign updates! 

Howdy! I'm Scott, a full-time illustrator and visual development artist based in Chicago. More importantly, I'm a lover of little shiny trinkets, and if you've stuck around this far to read the about me, I'd wager you are too. I've been working as a freelance illustrator since 2013, a convention artist since 2017, and launched Toadstown as my digital merchandise storefront mid-2024.

If you're interested in my previous work, feel free to check out the Toadstown Bluesky and Twitter, or follow our Etsy for when B-grade sales go live! Here's some examples of my previous merch designs:

BackerKit operates on a "Pledge now, pay later" system. This means you will not be charged until the campaign concludes, AND it's reached its $750 goal. After the campaign ends, backers will receive a survey where they will be able to provide their shipping address, preferences if they've chosen any customizable backing tiers (IE: pick three pins), and even any add-ons they'd like to throw on to their pledge last minute!

This means you're allowed to change your pledge amount and rewards at any time before the campaign ends. If you need to withdraw from the campaign for any reason, do so then! Once the project concludes, we will be unable to provide refunds as all funds raised will be going right into production costs.

PLEASE NOTE: Shipping is not included with your pledge and will be collected once you fill out your BackerKit survey, based on your location.
