Hi friends! I got shipments of both the stickers and the acrylic magnets today 💃 Here's some quick photos I took while unboxing:

Production Update

Hi everyone! I received more photos of production. A few of the more simple designs have also been finished 🙌❤️ Please note that the colors shown may vary a bit -- factory lighting is very harsh.

Production Update
11 months ago – Fri, Jun 09, 2023 at 08:12:15 AM

Hello friends 💃

I can't believe I already have a production update 😩🤌 My manufacturer let me know that all of the potato cryptid mini pins are completed and are being carded/sleeved next week 📦 These were done quickest due to the simplicity -- most only have 2-3 colors. 

Here's a few photos of some of the mini pins:

The freebie pin has also been completed -- it's only missing the white screenprinted colors in this photo. I love how the black enamel looks against the black nickel plating. 🤌

I hope to have more photos in the next couple weeks while production continues. All pins are in at least the enamel fill stage (minus the vaporwave set as the rainbow electroplating takes longer to complete.)

Champ-agne Design Changes
12 months ago – Mon, May 22, 2023 at 04:15:47 PM

Hey friends 💃

As mentioned in the last update I've been squaring away some minor details with my manufacturer and we've run into a bit of a snag with the Champ-agne design. 😩🫴

Since this design has multiple areas of transparent enamel, there is limited space on the back of the pin. I was totally a dumby and didn't plan for post placement. 😃

The two options were either increasing the size of the pin by double or increasing the size a tad and reworking the design to fit another post. I decided the latter would be best as I wanted the sizing to be cohesive across the collection.

To remedy this situation, I've decided to add a wine charm detail to the glass. This will allow the manufacturer to put a second post on the back of this area.

I usually dislike changing designs after the campaign has ended but I believe this minor change actually makes this design even cuter! Once this design is approved, manufacturing will begin 🙌

ONE WEEK WARNING & Production
12 months ago – Sat, May 20, 2023 at 12:09:47 PM

Hi friends!

Just a small update to let you know that I will be locking surveys on May 26th! Be sure to get your survey completed before then -- Any surveys not completed by that date will be marked as late and will not be guaranteed choice of rewards. This is also your last chance to add on any last minute items. You will be unable to make changes to your survey (minus shipping address) after they're locked! I'll be charging cards for any Backerkit add-ons at this time as well. 

Production for the pins is set to begin on Monday -- I'm just waiting on a few more technical changes to the artwork to make sure everything is perfect and then they'll be off!

Since a lot of these pins have special effects (glow, transparent enamel, rainbow plating, ect), I expect production to take around 2 months. I'll of course keep everyone updated if there are any hiccups along the way.  

Feel free to DM here on Kickstarter if you have any issues with your survey! (Please do not DM me on Instagram - it's difficult to sift through the back end of stuff on my phone) 

Have a wonderful and safe weekend and keep your eyes peeled for Bigfoot.
