Smoke Test and More Add-ons

Hey friends!
Just a super quick update to let you know that I completed the survey prep and I'm finally really to have them emailed out 🙌 I'll be sending out about 5% surveys for a smoke test to make sure everything is running smoothly and there are no issues. Once I get those back I'll email out the remaining surveys!
*Please note that the survey will be sent to the email assosciated with your Kickstarter account. If you signed up using Apple's private relay -- please DM me with an alternative email to send your survey to.
I've went ahead and added the option to purchase additional campaign items on backerkit as well as the new potato cryptids mini pin set that I showed in the last update.
I also added the option to add-on stickers of all the designs in the campaign as well as this potato cryptids magnet set. I discounted this heavily for a Backerkit perk -- the entire set of 8 1.5" magnets will be $20. Like the Yeti's Own magnet, these will be made of thick acrylic with a protective epoxy dome.
Feel free to DM me here on Kickstarter if you have any questions regarding your pledge/backerkit/anything else!

Hey friends 🤠
The campaign has ended with over 400 backers! 🙌 SO awesome! I'm starting the survey creation today -- my beardie unfortunately passed away around when the campaign ended so I needed to take some time for myself. 🥺❤️
Luckily this isn't my first rodeo so I hope to still be up-to-date with the schedule and get surveys emailed out by this weekend 😌
Please note that cards have been charged for your pledge already -- if your card declined for whatever reason you will have a few more days to fix this before your pledge is automatically dropped. 😩🫴 Kickstarter will have notified you by email if this applies to you.
I will update again once surveys are sent out 🙌 If you've never backed one of my campaigns before, I use a service called BackerKit for survey collection. Through Backerkit, you will be able to choose which pins you'd like as well as have the opportunity to purchase other add-ons and additional pins if you'd like 🦐
Lastly, I wanted to show the art for the 2nd set of potato cryptid mini pins. This set will be available as a backerkit add-on for $20. 🥺❤️ I hope you love them!
Last push!

Hey friends!
We have just about a day left in the campaign! 🪱 We hit 400 backers and almost 20k in funding 😳🫴 Please share the campaign with any cryptid loving friends for that final push 💖
I unfortunately had to take some personal time away so I didn't get the 2nd set of potato cryptid mini pins completed as promised 😩 I will, however, be finishing them up tonight and they will be available as an add-on through Backerkit once surveys are sent out 🙌 I will preview the designs for those once I'm finished.
Have a safe and wonderful weekend! ❤️
New Designs!

Hey friends. 🦵Yeti's Own has been added as a pin for the main collection. (There are a few teeny changes from the magnet design)
I spent all night brainstorming some ideas for the highly requested Squonk and Skunk Ape and came up with 2 new designs! Hope these are satisfactory. 😌🫴
I kept the Squonk more pig-like so it's at least KIND OF cute -- tbh nothing could make the ballsack of a creature look remotely good. 🤨 He's crying cause he's uglee. 🫣
For the Skunk Ape/Swamp Ape I was heavily inspired by a ghillie suit. 🍃🍂 I think he's shrek-tacular. 😌
11/12/13-pin tiers have been added. I'm still planning on adding a second potato cryptids set -- just haven't found the time to work on it. 🤌 Hopefully by Tuesday I'll have it completed.
Q&A and more cryptids!

Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey! I've been able to get a better idea of what you guys want to see more of. First things first, I want to address a few of the questions/comments I've gotten on the survey regarding the collection:
"I don't get the pun with champ-agne."
It's a play on words for the The Lake Champlain Monster (Champ)
"The vaporwave set - Is it supposed to be spelled "angel" or "angle" on the pin?"
"Angle." It's a reference to the meme posted in the vaporwave reveal update. "Yuor" is also intentionally spelled wrong.
"Interested in more magnets and acrylic keychains!"
I'm looking at specifics right now but I will probably have these items available to purchase through the Backerkit survey after the campaign.
"Glowing accents (eyes & claws) would be awesome."
A few of the designs already have glow-in-the-dark details. Peas - Glowing green body, Phatwoods Monster - Glowing yellow eyes, Loveland Frogman - Glowing yellow eyes and "Lurk"
Glow-in-the-dark powder has a higher defect rate (as well as $$$) - especially in large areas - so I've decided to keep it to a minimum
I also had a ton of requests regarding stickers soooooo every design will be available as a sticker through Backerkit. You will be able to purchase these when you fill out your survey AFTER the campaign is over.
You guys also expressed a lot of interest in more potato cryptids mini pins so I will be adding a secondary set to the campaign -- look for that in the next update!
I will also be adding the Yeti design as a pin in the next update as well. I hope to have it ready to go within the next day or two.
Lastly, I've taken all of your cryptid requests into consideration and will work on creating one or two more designs for the collection.
I've had A TON of requests for the Jersey Devil, Mongolian Deathworm, and Jackalope which are already part of the campaign(?) Please look over the campaign if you missed these!
