ONE WEEK WARNING & Production

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.
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.
