USA pledges are 94% fulfilled. The warehouse team is working on the last few pledges this week.
Canada is 46% complete
EU/UK is 45%
AUS is 5% (one package out the door so far)
Short version is, the team is wrapping up domestic shipping and moving on to finalize international this week.
Please double check your survey! We do still show a number of incomplete surveys and it's put a couple dozen shipments on hold as of right now.
Thanks everyone - we'll keep plugging away until they're all out the door.

Hey everyone! 💌 We’re thrilled to let you know that the Smoke Test went smoothly, so we’ve just sent out the remaining surveys to all backers! 🥳 If you haven’t received yours yet, make sure to check your inbox and spam/promotions folder — and feel free to reach out if you need help accessing it! 💻✨
📦 Reminder: the sooner you fill it out, the sooner we’ll be able to start packing and shipping your rewards 🌟 We're prepping everything in the background and can't wait to send all the goodies your way!
📌 Important: Please make sure your payment method is valid and up to date when completing the survey! If the card on file is invalid or empty, we won’t be able to ship your rewards — or they may be significantly delayed. 🥲
🛍️ Also, our Post-campaign Store is now open, so if you missed the campaign or want to grab some extra goodies with the same deals and discounts, you can do so there too!
✨ As we kick off this brand new year, we wish you all the peace, inspiration, and moments of true happiness, big and small — thank you again for starting 2026 with us! 💖🎊
And thank you so much again for the love and support — we hope you're as excited as we are! ʕ ˵• ⩊ •˵ ʔ
2025 was a crazy one for all, and a cruel one for far too many, but as long as we hold fast to one another, we can make sure 2026 is a banner year.
We took some time away from our own projects this year to support a worthy cause, the Horror Not Hate anti-fascist anthology, which Phil has been lending a hand to help Slow Feet Comics editor-in-chief J.M Brandt get the book (and his logo!) designed and ready for press. The good news is: the campaign just launched for the finished book! Over 250 pages of spooky stories and artwork sticking it to The Man!

All proceeds (after printing & fulfillment) will be donated to immigrant rights and LGBTQ+ charities, so you not only get a colossal collection of creeptacular frighteousness — you'll also be helping marginalized communities get out from under the fascist boot!
Our pal Steven Prince is getting ready to launch his latest Kaiju vs Matador book of mayhem, Monster Matador: Blood of the Matador, for which you cansign upto get early bird deals on now!

As for our next Diabolik project, we'll be launching a sign-up page soon, so stay tuned...
Thanks for all your love and support in 2025! Happiest of New Year to all of you from all of us at Diabolik! —Phil, Ian, and Dan
Just wanted to let you all know that all packages have now been shipped for people who have completed surveys and who's payments have cleared. I've also refunded those of you that accidentally got charged too much postage, so now it's all up to the postal system!
Thanks so much to every one of you for shopping with me whether it was in one campaign or all of them, discovering Backerkit really has made my year and it's such a joy seeing what you all picked!
I'll be back next year with more projects and hopefully a couple of exciting group collabs! But before I plan anything for definite I'd love to ask you what sort of things you'd like to see from me in 2026? I've created a poll but feel free to comment with your ideas...
We are in the final hours of the campaign and are so close to unlocking the next design!
🎄✨🔓 But because I am impatient, and absolutely LOVE all the designs (and won't have time for a festive campaign next year) I decided I am unlocking all TEN designs! 🔓✨🎄
Mistletoe Derpy Kisses
Ugly Sweater, cookies & milk
Krampus Derpy
Santa Coal Derpy
Wreath Derpy
Reindeer Derpy
Derpy Gift
Ornament Derpy
Stocking Derpy
Tangled Derpy
All pins will have glitter in 2-4 colours for some extra festive sparkle!
So if you have been waiting to pledge because your favourite design wasn't unlocked, you no longer have to wait!
But there is more!!!
As in previous campaigns, this one has a custom designby the beautiful mind of Cassirole. And because I wanted to order the pins as soon as the funds came in, I already designed it.
This little snowman will be added as an add-on in the pledgemanager. But, because I love both the blue and black version, there will be both a blue and black version! (I'm feeling really indecicive today😂)
You guys also unlocked all 5 colouring pages! Which you will get as a digital PDF to enjoy this season ^_^ And because I love my returning backers, I am unlocking the mini pin as well even though we don't have 100 backers. Because *I* need the full set myself!
I can't thank you enough for being here to support my art!
This is Ben, returning after six weeks of medical leave (it was a routine surgery, everything is fine!)
Going over the data from the campaign, and talking in-depth with the fulfillment team, I've identified a small number of backers who haven't received rewards yet and am working on resolving those issues as quickly as possible. Thankfully, the team completed the vast majority of the fulfillment process while I was out. A huge congratulations to them!
If you're one of the approximately 24 people who haven't received your rewards yet, please read on. I was not expecting some orders to be blocked and I apologize for the delay.
These appear to be the outstanding issues:
Items Out of Stock - Corvyn has not heard back from eight backers regarding their preference for orders where the original count from the warehouse was incorrect and the rewards were not available. Solution: I will issue refunds for items that aren't available and push the rest to the warehouse for fulfillment.
Surveys Submitted Late - Some surveys were completed after primary fulfillment. They have been stuck in BackerKit. Solution: I have pushed those orders to the warehouse and asked them to ship those orders.
Unanswered Support Emails - I've seen a couple of comments regarding requests for support that have gone unanswered. At least one of those is from a backer whom Corvyn has been emailing regarding out-of-stock items. Solution: If you haven't heard back from us, please be sure to whitelist @zombieorpheus.com in your email client, as our emails don't appear to be getting through. If official channels absolutely don't seem to be connecting, please email [email protected], whitelist that address, and I'll help you out directly.
Other Issues - While I believe this covers any delays, my next task is reviewing campaign comments and providing direct support. I'll handle any edge cases that I discover.
Timeline: I expect to have all outstanding issues resolved within the next ten business days, although some international items may take longer than that to arrive.
Note: I don't have access to the [email protected] email address. I've asked their support team to forward any outstanding Holiday Market emails to me for resolution.
