Hello everyone! Today I bring super exciting news that All Pins Are Now Complete!
Here are pictures from my manu~
I am particularly fond of the chrome ones myself- I fear this may become a new obsession...
Now that all pins are complete, they will be sent to me in the next few days, and I estimate about 3 weeks for them to arrive. The production took a bit longer on account of Lucifer's initial concept issues, but I hope to start fullfillment in July still. Now I just gotta get a bunch of envelopes to jumpscare my family and beg my old retired postal worker in the countryside village not to unleash his greyhounds on me when I rock up with fifty mail to his desk....
Shipping Addresses WIll Be Locked Once The Pins Arrive With Me!
I will give ye all a day or two of a heads up before addresses will be locked. So if you still have got to change your address... DO IT ASAP.
If you still haven't fixed your survey and payment issues, I urge you to do that as soon as you can as well. I had an issue with my card provider paying for another campaign myself as well and I had to add my card as a duplicate because backerkit doesn't have electronic bank checks for fraud so some payments get auto stopped. A little bit of fiddling around but oh well!
If you don't fill out your survey and pay for shipping then your order will be considered as a donation as there's no way for me to send your items out otherwise.
Hi everyone! After some thinking and taking in suggestions, I drafted up some ideas for an Intestines angel pin. I would plan to make this a stretch goal at $4000! Here are some design ideas, please vote for which one you'd like! And of course, if you had any design feedback, feel free to drop it in the comments.
I do not plan on making any more pins after this, but I would love to make some nice 3 inch holographic stickers of the current designs. Are people interested in this?
Thank you everyone who has backed the campaign so far!! We have 10 days left, so please be sure to share this around!
Hello backers, it's been a minute since the last update so I thought I'd share more preview photos of pins from my manufacturers - you can find them in the backers-only section. If you have questions about the pin making process, check out the previous update.
My main manufacturer has been much slower than usual, likely due to the summer being the busy season. The manufacturer for the Film Noir and Neonoir pins has shipped most of them, but they are stuck in transit with no ETA, and some of the designs are being remade due to a high flaw rate.
Other than that, not much to report! I'll be back once I have more exciting news to share. One more thing: if you missed my latest campaign Dual Destinies, the preorder store is open until July 13 - there's lots of pins and stickers to preorder.
Last time we updated you, we were hitting the “Send to Production” button. Since then, the steady march of time forward has been filled with preparing for future projects and of course…waiting (a little more patiently than we’d like).
Production is moving forward, and these pins are taking their time, it’s for good reason. They’re big, they’re beautiful, and there’s a lot of them (about 2800).
Below, you’ll find some behind-the-scenes shots from our manufacturer. Keep in mind, these are mid-process and these pictures are taken in not so good conditions. Colors and finishes will evolve as they move closer to completion.
Like cookies on a cooling tray!
You might notice how some of the enamel is spilled over. This is part of the process! They will get polished down and become nice and smooth!
Before plating and polish...
After! So shiny!
A few quick notes:
UK Backers: We haven’t forgotten about you! We’ll be reaching out when we get closer to shipping to sort out details.
Failed Payments: If your payment method didn’t go through, please check your card info ASAP so we don’t have to leave anyone out when it comes to finally ship.
We know the wait hasn’t been easy. We’re working closely with the manufacturer to make sure everything comes out stellar. ✨
Thank you for your patience and support. More updates are coming soon!
bit of a late june update as i havent had the most news but the pins are finished! I have photos of all them but soy sauce now (ive asked so hopefully should get one before theyre boxed up)
I've sent the notice out that orders are being locked in 48 hours! So you've got two days to make any changes and then cards are charged.
I'm currently in the middle of fulfillment for other projects, so ill be getting to this one asap!
Thank you all for your patience and support!
Ive uupdated my main profile on here so you can always check where a project is at as well as my business email for contacting! (since backerkit doesnt do dms and comments rarely get me notifications :>)
Just a quick note to let you know that I’m still here, still conjuring logistics, and production is officially underway! Once my manufacturer sends over some updates (which should be soon!), I’ll follow up with a more detailed, juicy behind-the-scenes look.
In the meantime, we still have a few stragglers hanging in the void:
Less than 20 surveys still need to be completed
Around 14 backers need to fix their payment methods
Kitten Update! The babies are thriving—sweet, spunky, and full of chaos (just how I like it). The girl has officially been named Moxie(because of course she has the attitude to match), and the boy is still feeling out his identity. Name TBD, but toe beans: very chocolaty.
Little boy

That’s all for now! Thanks for hangin’ around. I’m so excited to fulfill this campaign. It’s going to be AWESOME. Stay tuned to see some doodles from my upcoming Pintober collection!
As the update title implies - the final rewards for this project have shipped!
So, what is there to do now? Wait, but only for a little longer! In fact, I've seen a fair few packages marked as delivered already.
Because there isn't much left for me to work on via Backer Kit (at least until I embark on another pin campaign), I will not be checking in here regularly. So, if there are any issues with your rewards or you need to get a hold of me for any reason, please reach out via email: [email protected]. I'll offer any assistance/info that I'm able.
Thank you Mytho Menagerie backers for all your support and engagement with this pin project, I couldn't have made these fantastical critters without all of your help, and I hope they bring you as much joy as they bring me!
If you want to keep an eye open for any future projects of mine, you can give me a follow on instagram @Pangolin_Knight for all the most up to date info on my creative projects.
I'm very happy to report that 92% of backer rewards have been delivered to USPS! Due to the Juneteenth Holiday, please expect to start seeing tracking info no sooner than Friday. I will do my very best to have the final 8% of the rewards sent by end of day Friday but I've encountered some issues with purchasing and printing the final handful of orders through Backer kit. If the issue persists, I will purchase labels an alternate platform and manually add tracking information.
Additionally, I'm glad to share that through the purchase of the Mishipeshu and Thunderbird pin designs, we collectively raised $440 for the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center! Thank you!!!
