I'm so close to getting everything shipped out! I've been tutored in the ways of fulfillment and I've already started to pack a few orders!! That being said, I won't be able to get anything actually out until about Monday/Tuesday at the latest. I'm waiting on one last thing to arrive before I can ship things out, but SOON!! (Full transparency the pin manu didn't give me rubber backing for all the pins and I ordered a bunch of them so I could deliver what was promised. That's what I'm waiting on now QAQ )
I can't thank you all enough for liking my spooky lil cats and the support you've given to help make them become actual pins! You've really made my first campaign an incredible experience and I truly hope you love them as much as I do. I can't wait for you to have them in hand!!
And as an added plug here, I'm already building my next campaign! In case you missed me mentioning it before, the teaser page is currently live! It's going to be more cat themed pins based on the celestial zodiac signs! You can follow it here:
The delayed/missing Frogman was delayed further due to more factory problems and have only just shipped to me this week. This means I wont be getting it in till next week. I am however slowly starting shipping of all the other orders so please bare with me and sorry for the delays!
Thank you for your patience! Here's a quick pick of the frogman (the design giving me all the problems lol) the factory sent me.
I just started the process of locking addresses, so keep an eye on your emails for the next 2 days and make changes if you need to.
I've also decided that as much as I'd like to have some shipping out by this weekend, it's going to be easier and smoother to wait until Monday or Tuesday to start fulfillment. HoloRaindrops has been my mentor as well as my partner and having them walk me through the steps has been a life saver! They're going to be at a convention this weekend and unavailable to help me with the process until they get back.
I'd rather wait and be sure I'm doing it right than rush into it and mess something up! This will also give me time to finish backing the pins that I didn't get a chance to.
Thanks again for your continued patience with me! -Fox
Spent the whole weekend with my partner in pins, HoloRaindrops! Together we were able to go through and grade all the pins and now I'm back home with them so I can start to get these babies off to their new homes!! I'm still learning how this process works with locking addresses and such, so please continue to be patient with me. I'm hoping to have the first batch of orders out by this weekend though!
(Sorry for the not so great photos, gotta work on a better set up Q^Q)
~~~~~~~~~
I'm also really excited to do more work on my next campaign: ZODICATS
Designs may change/be tweaked a bit before launch
If you're not already following my teaser page for it, please check it out! I'm really excited to get them made!!
Thanks again for all your continued patience with me while I've been learning, I really appreciate it! -Fox
As you may have already seen, I started the process of locking addresses today. You should have received a notice in your email that your address will be locked 2 days from now. If you've moved recently, this is your last chance to update your address.
I will be starting shipping next week after I get back from Colorado Anime Fest. Very excited to finally get these pins out to you all! :D
P.S. If you haven't already seen, my newest set of pins launched yesterday, and it was a record-breaking launch day for me! All the goals were funded within less than an hour and I have more goals on the horizon.
If you love cryptids and sexy boys, check it out: Cryptid Crushes
Much like with BloodLust, I have teamed up with a cross-collab partner UltraInfinite who is doing Themed Monster Enamel Pins to bring some awesome freebie pins to folks who back both our campaigns. Ultra also already smashed through all her goals and there are some AMAZING pins in her campaign, I want SO MANY OF THEM!! We're also both part of the group collab Oddities & Obscura, and if you back 6 or more campaigns in the collection, you'll get even more free stuff!
There's still 1 day left to snag Early Bird pledge levels so now's the best time to back it before prices go up! P:
That's all for this update, thanks for reading and have a great week!
Firstly My apologies for this month just gone. I HAVE BEEN pulling my teeth trying to get my manu to update me. My understanding from pre CNY was that there was only a couple of pins left and they would soon be shipped. What this past month has been is ME messaging them going, hey any updates? and not really hearing anything.
THEY FINALLY got back to me and its...........FINE I GUESS It looks like no progress has been made on my pins since before CNY WHICH OBVIOUSLY I am not happy with.
Just to reassure anyone, any money i collected, and collect goes into a savings pot specifically for fulfilment of THIS project,no money is touched apart from what it is needed for. I know it seems obvious but i want to assure everyone their money is just waiting to be used what it was collected for (shipping)
For full transparency here are the screenshots ( i have also emailed during this time with pretty miuch the same messages)
Have i pushed to find out whatever the reason is? Honestly No, id rather just get the pins done. I've worked with this Manu since my first project so its upsetting as much as it is frustrating.
For anyone who has backed Evangelion or is looking to back Fish Guts i am using a different manu for this! It is someone ive used before so i know the quality is good and so far the communication is prompt and all that!
These are the photos i got this round,
WHICH IS SOMETHING I GUESS!
If you've read this whole frustrated rant, thank you, again i am sorry for the delay. I hope theyll ship this month and i'll have them out asap after that
Wanted to give you a quick update that all the pins are here, and this weekend, Foxpirate and I are getting together to do a big grading party together. I am not sure we'll be able to get through all the pins, but we will get as far as we can so we can start shipping things out ASAP.
Quick reminder that because my March is so busy with conventions & launching Cryptid Crushes, I will not be able to start shipping for BloodLust until sometime April.

Next Campaigns
I have another campaign, Themed Monster Enamel Pins, that will launch soon. It features monster pins themed after different aesthetics. For this campaign I am collaborating with HoloRaindrops who is running Cryptid Crushes, if you pledge to both campaigns you'll receive a pair of freebie pins. Both our campaigns are part of the Oddities & Obscura collection, there's even more freebies to be had if you back at least six campaigns!
If you were looking for my Baldur's Gate 3 designs, those have been moved to their own campaign: Dual Destinies: A BG3 Pin Series, which will run in June as part of Pin Quest. I'm still working on the designs but here are some sketches.
Submit Your Ideas
If you have an idea for my next pin series or other merch, you can send them via this Google Form. You can also vote in the attached poll. If I plan any more pin campaigns after Dual Destinies, I'd like them to be for themes or ideas you all are interested in.
That's all for this update, take care and I hope to see you again in future campaigns!
(Sorry for the resend. I was informed my link didn't work and I believe I've fixed it. OTL)
Just thought I would come in here to say I should be going to my partners house to gather all my Black Cat Magic pins around the weekend of 15th! Gonna try my best to do a big amount of pin grading there with them and then get back home with another update!
We're so close to having them in hand and I know I keep saying it, but I'm just so dang excited!! I'll be back on here to update you all more after that weekend!
In the meantime, if you haven't checked out my teaser page for my next enamel pin set, please check out my ZODICATS
Designs are not all final
I'd love it if you followed the page! It lets me know how big the interest is and keeps you updated on launch day!
Thanks so much for all the patience and I'll be back with more info soon enough! -Fox
