Surveys have officially been sent! If you haven’t seen yours yet, please check your Spam / Promotions folder (and search your inbox for BackerKit). Thank you so much to everyone who’s already been filling them out promptly, it helps a ton with final counts~ 💛
🐾 New Add-Ons: Sticker Packs (Bundle Deals!)
A couple of folks have asked about sticker packs, so I went ahead and added two bundle options to the survey / Pre-order Shop:
10 Purrincipalities Sticker Pack (one of each Purrincipality)
7 Large Stickers Pack (all Deluxe Critter designs) (priced the same as the original 6-pack, plus one additional Large Sticker)
A couple notes for clarity:
These bundles are the only packs I’m offering for now.
The Large Sticker Pack is not mix-and-match (it’s the full set) - this is as a little thank-you to the early backers who jumped in during the campaign.
If you want duplicates, you can still add individual stickers alongside the bundles!
If you already added stickers individually before the bundles were listed, no worries, you can edit your survey and swap your Add-ons around.
🧪 Production Progress: First Samples Ordered!
Fun news: I’ve already sent two vectors to my manufacturer! 🎉
The Angel Opossum pin and the hanging Mouse Charm are now having samples made, so hopefully I’ll have photos to share soon~
🌌🐉 Freebie Sticker Winner: Aurora Seraphim!
The final votes are in, and our community-chosen freebie sticker winner is the Aurora Seraphim!!
That means:
All campaign backers receiving physical rewards will get one Aurora Seraphim sticker for free, and
Pre-order Shop orders of $18+ will also receive one for free~
Thank you again for voting! I can’t wait to get these printed with a fancy finish. 👀✨
More Field Reports to come. 😇🐭💫

Unicorn Knight Pin - Spring Variant
Iron Lung Pin
Crucifixion Pin

Dandelion Angel Pin

If you missed the campaign and preorder store but still wanted any campaign items, you will be able to purchase leftovers from my shops once campaign fulfillment is complete. The ETA for that is May 2025. Thanks for following the campaign!
Shipping
Just a reminder that you will be charged later for shipping, right before items ship out. Shipping is flat rate, here are the rates:
United States $6
Mexico $18
Canada $18
Australia $21
UK $20
All other countries $21
This additional cost doesn't seem to be included in your order confirmation, so I wanted you all to be extra aware of it. If you made a preorder (not pledged to the campaign) and change your mind about your order due to these costs please contact Backerkit to cancel your order.
Errored Payments
If you had a payment error with addons or shipping, I recommend fixing it as soon as you can, but you have until the items are ready to ship to correct it. So don't panic if you can't fix your payment right away.
If you are a backer, please read the backers-only section below for additional updates.
And now the waiting begins. Pins and plushies will take at least 6-8 weeks to manufacture. I will be sending out production updates as they progress. If you have any questions, please leave a comment.
This is just a reminder that all surveys had been sent out prior and they are due next week! If surveys are not filled out on time I will have a hard time ordering accurate numbers of counts, which could delay your shipping of your items, or not receive them at all!
On top of that there are a good handful of people who also still have failed payments. Please keep in mind that these are all reasons why your items could be heavily delayed in shipping when it is time!
If you are missing your survey, you can recover it HERE.
Hello! The smoke test surveys were sent out and didn't seem to have any problems! So I will not be sending surveys to everyone <3 Please fill them out as they are how you will choose what designs you want and also give you the chance to add on more items in case you wanted to nab some other things ^^
There are still a few who have cards which failed when the campaign closed, please fix this as you will not receive any items if the card did not go through.
Thanks again for your support! I am excited to get these made~
Missed the campaign? Don’t worry, the Pre-Order store is officially open! ✨
If you didn’t get a chance to pledge during the campaign, this is your opportunity to grab your favorite designs before they’re gone. The store is now live on BackerKit and will remain open until April 4.
This is your last chance to secure any pins, add-ons, or extras that you may have missed. Once it closes, items won’t be available again for a while... so don’t wait! Pre-Order Here. Thank you all so much for your continued support! 💙✨️
Hello, my little research patrons!! 💛 I’m in the final stages of survey setup for Choir Critters, which means we’re very close to the next big step.
Survey Status (What’s Happening Next)
I’m about to submit the survey to BackerKit for review, and then I’ll run a smoke test: about 5% of backers from each pledge level will receive surveys first so we can catch any weirdness (missing items, wrong questions, etc.). Once I’ve fixed anything that pops up, I’ll send surveys to everyone.
With any luck, you’ll be seeing your surveys sometime this week! 🤞
(If you already know how surveys work, feel free to scroll down to the Freebie Sticker Poll!)
📝 What is the Survey?
The survey is where you’ll:
Choose your designs for the items included in your pledge level (you can pick duplicates by selecting the same design multiple times if you want!)
Confirm your address (you’ll be able to update it later! I'll email before addresses are locked closer to fulfillment)
Add extra add-ons if you’d like (including anything that was added late or wasn’t available during the campaign)
💳 Add-ons + Payments (Quick & Important)
If you purchased Add-ons during the campaign, you’ll confirm or choose designs in the Add-ons section.
You can also add more during the survey if you want!
You are only charged again if you add additional items.
You may be prompted to review/update your payment info so any added items can be charged properly.
Please Check Your Campaign Payment
BackerKit has been processing charges and retrying any failed payments since the campaign ended. So if you get an email about a payment issue, please update your card as soon as you can so your pledge doesn’t get delayed!
📔 Later items + the Critter Deliveries Sticker Sheet
Anything I added late (or that wasn't available during the campaign) will be available in surveys and the Pre-order Shop. So if you missed something like the Cherubim or The Furbidden One, you’ll still be able to snag them.
Also: for everyone who's interested in Cryptic Omen designs as stickers, here's the 5×7" “Critter Deliveries” Sticker Sheet featuring the remaining designs that aren’t available as individual stickers! Angel • Archangel • Perfectly Normal Pigeon • All 8 Cryptic Omens (Including the Mouse) (Art may change slightly, but the goal is to include everything in this “delivery crew” category.)
🛍️ Pre-order Shop is OPEN (Quick Clarification!)
The Pre-order Shop is live for folks who missed the campaign and still want goodies!
If you already backed the campaign: you don't need to buy anything through the Pre-order Shop. Your survey is where you’ll make your selections and add anything extra!
Shipping note: I’m using Charge Shipping Later. Shipping will be collected closer to fulfillment once I have final package weights and can charge the correct amount. I’ll post an Update before any shipping charges run, so nobody is surprised!
🎉 Fun News + Small Scheduling Note
I made it into C2E2!! If you’ll be in the Chicago area March 27th-29th, come say hi! I’d love to meet you. 👋😄 This also means I’ll be a bit out-of-pocket in late March while I prep/travel, but I’ll still answer messages as I’m able (just possibly a little slower 🙏).
🗳️ Freebie Sticker Final Vote!
The upvotes have been tallied (to the best of my ability), and four designs have risen to contend for our community-chosen freebie sticker. Now it’s time for the final poll!
Important Note: No matter which design wins, the sticker will have a special effect (glitter, holo, etc.)! After we pick the design, I’ll research a few sticker manufacturers and share effects samples/options in a later update so we can vote on the final effect together~
It’s time for the final vote! Whichever contendor gets the most votes will become the sticker that goes to all qualifying physical backers. 🎉 |
Important Note: No matter which design wins, the freebie sticker will have some kind of special effect (glitter, holo, or something equally fancy). After we pick the design, I’ll research a few sticker manufacturers and share sample options / examples in a later update so we can vote on the final finish together! ✨
Hey all! I just got the proofs for the pins and made a few changes as some colors got miscommunicated. The manufacturer will be shipping them to me mid-March and then as soon as I have them, I will turn around and ship them straight to you guys! I have some very cute packaging ideas so I’m excited for you guys to get them! Here’s an insider look of what the proofs look like and my notes!
Hey all! Popping in with a quick message to say that surveys are rolling out! Please make sure to fill them out as soon as possible so I can get to making orders as soon as possible :) Surveys will stay open until close to fulfillment date. I'm hoping to place an order after Chinese new year and once survey completion rate is at 80%.
As a reminder, surveys without completed payment or that aren't complete will NOT receive their rewards! So make sure all your information is in order!
I also had a little mishap with setup where I accidently added two returning backer stickers to backers who qualify. I think I got it all in order to where you should be getting just 1. If you need help or want to verify that your pledge rewards are in order, I'm happy to check for you if you shoot me an email at[email protected]
