Wondering where your pledges are? Look no further!
Χβ°ββ€ I recieved the Rainbowtail remakes a couple days ago and have shipped out 80% of packages! Χβ°ββ€ The other 20% are in progress and will be fully sent out by next Friday (the 15th)!
Here's some photos of the chaos that was the order packing process lmao.
With that said- some of you are already recieving your pledges and I'm happy to hear it! For anyone who wants to share photos, I recently revamped my discord to have a channel for reviews!!
Inside my discord is not only a reviews channel BUT there are:
Χβ°ββ€ Free monthly 10% off Etsy coupons Χβ°ββ€ Sneak peeks into upcoming merch Χβ°ββ€First look into my next crowdfunding campaigns Χβ°ββ€Early dibs on new merch going up on Etsy!
and much more! I look forward to seeing you there!!
If you haven't checked it out yet, now's your chance! Returning backers receive a free exclusive sticker, we're EXTREMELY close to the free enamel pins that unlock at $5,000 pledged, and we're close to unlocking some other freebies!
Some designs are still currently in the process of being finalized- but the general gist of how they're going to look are currently available! I just posted the final designs for Moonpaw, Tawnypelt, and Leafstar a little bit ago, so here's a sneak peek!
I am still going super strong for this campaign- yes we've dropped some backers but I KNOW we will unlock those locked stretch goals again and push to get EVERYTHING unlocked!
Also- here's a sneak peek of Scourge's design :>
Thank you guys so much in advance! Please reach out to me with any questions, comments or concerns here or in my discord!
We're excited to announce that all of the Phoenix pins have arrived! We will be beginning fulfillment over the next week or so as we'll be going through the batch of pins and making sure we only send out the very best.
All the Phoenixes hanging out in the library before heading to you!
Overall, we're happy with the production of the pins, but our manufacturer did have some trouble getting the blue glass ring around the miniature pin due to the sizing. It still came out super cute though!
We're waiting on one more piece before we start shipping, but that should arrive in the next day or two. We found some pretty fun colored bubble mailers, so expect your Phoenix to arrive in style.
Also, if you haven't had the chance to check it out, we'll be running another campaign during Pintopia 2025. We have a few fun cross-collabs during Pintopia, so if you'd like to get even more Phoenixes (and Cecil!) check it out!
First of all, holy smokes! You guys blew this out of the water. Iβve already gotten sappy enough in past updates but thank you all so much! You have no idea how much I appreciate the support.
So now what? You have 2 weeks to fix any failed payment methods or issues! After that the surveys will go out! Surveys will close on December 1st. The survey will give you the option to let me know if you want to be charged immediately or when the survey closes. As I know a few people on my last survey wanted to be charged immediately for budget reasons and others wanted to wait until the survey closed to get paid!
After that the pins will go into production! I will be out of town for most of the survey. But Iβll still do my best to respond to emails ([email protected])! Please note, I donβt always see/get notifications for comments left on the page. The fastest way to reach me is on discord. https://discord.gg/rPPf4NUejw
As for where Iβll be? Twin cities con, Anime Dallas, Anime Frontier, and Anime Weekend Atlanta! If you end up at one of those cons come say hi to me! And preemptive apologies if I look tired or out of it. My autoimmune makes conventions a little exhausting but I love to meet yall and itβs always so exciting when someone tells me they follow me on socials/kickstarter. Gives me a bit of imposter syndrome too lol.
Itβs hard to predict when the pins will be done as thereβs several holidays between now and next year, however I tried to plan accordingly in the original timeline. So keep an eye out for that!
Hi! This update will be bulleted to keep it concise-ish:
I got out as many more packages before Colossalcon as I could!! That was about a dozen, I had some pending septum preorder packages I had to fulfill too and unfortunately with all of that included, I hit my physical limit quicker than anticipated. They're officially going out tomorrow, because I wasn't able to get out of the house until we head out to set up for the con tomorrow afternoon.
This puts us at only 78 left to fulfill.
I actually found more standard grade Abduction at the bottom of the box of sorted pins (they slipped out of the bag), so I had over 30. (Meaning almost another 20 can go out after the con!)
I have closed this campaign on the pledge manager, what that means is just that no one who still hasn't filled out the survey/paid shipping can do so. Basically: if you neglected to make sure you'll get your rewards from this by now...you will not. I can't keep the door open indefinitely. Everyone else is totally unaffected by me doing this!
The result of confronting the manu about the glittery ones: REMAKES WILL BE PRODUCED (again). Caps for emphasis of my relief. I'm so glad they agreed. I've already been sent proof of them glowing this time.
All machine 2 spins for this campaign (and paws) have the new, correct Wood - this should be clear by now but I want to reiterate.
ALL machine 1 and 2 spins AND the individual choice ones are set aside and were quadruple counted. I added a few extra just to be cautious.
My gacha machines will be at the con as originally hoped, but the difference is that Abduction in the machines will be the glittery one...and the Wood one will be the first iteration (as I mentioned before). I also, due to the sheer volume of seconds grades, only have about half the stock for machines compared to what I anticipated I would.
Moth seconds pin grab bags are available with my Monster Girls campaign (live now)! I have...a lot... but the ones I've listed are going pretty fast! May have to add more.
In his own Early Summerween campaign, my fiance has a moth as his freebie for 5+ pin pledges (the moth mold is a collab between us, hence the backstamp - but all of the designs from this campaign were solely mine except Wood) or also available as a separate add-on, in case anyone is interested!
You and the paws campaign backers SOLD ME OUT OF PILLS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! π I am so grateful!! The only ones I have left are red nebula, constellation, and r18 (and that's because more of those were made than the others...regretting that lol). The ones still needing to go out are set aside with the rest!!
Will update again in a few weeks if I have more news!! Otherwise, I will continue quietly sending out rewards as I can!
Sorry for the lack of update, the manufacturer has been fighting tooth and nail on these remakes and I am not sure why. They're remaking the entire most recent order as well and assured me several days ago that it'd only take 18 days to remake soooooo soon??? I have poked them again for updates as I'd like to get these in before the lower tariffs pause changes.
I also realized I printed labels for some orders that are ok with changes and then promptly lost the labels for said orders and forgot- so I do apologize! I will be able to work on those again this weekend! I will note a few requested shipment but ordered both colors of the designs so I've set those aside in hopes we're getting the remakes sometime this century rather than sending duplicates.
Hi! Just checking in again to see how things are going with shipping the 10 to 666 o'clock pins? It's been a while since I last heard from you and I saw you had them up on your Etsy already so I'm getting concerned I might have missed something.
It's been a long road and finally we can lay this project to rest. Many of the ghosts who came out to play have found new homes, or have returned to the other side to await the next Halloween.

Wait... what's this?
[Answers phone]
Our local ghost maniac seems confident that next year's ghostly party may come sooner than expected! It seems one particular cosplaying ghost had so much fun it went back and is bringing it's whole family to a new holiday. What's.... Summerween?
Oh no- who can I call about this?!
Arriving July 7th, Cosplay Ghosts Volume 2 over on Kickstarter!
The project is now closed! Payments can no longer be processed or resolved on BackerKit. If you have any issues, please message me :)
I just sent out the International Packages this weekend and uploaded the tracking numbers! As of now, all packages that I have all the info for have been shipped and the project is fulfilled.
There are a few who have not been charged for their shipping / filled out their survey, so be sure to check to see if you are one of them! Once your info is updated, I can send out your order!
If you haven't received your order at all or there are issues with it, please let me know: [email protected]
As the title says. The upsetting update is that all of the Abduction remakes have GLITTER in them instead of glowing. Genuinely can't believe this. To make it more clear how big of a deal this is, 73 orders pending have Abduction in them and I only have around 20 that aren't seconds pins (that are made the right way). This....is seriously insane. Genuinely can't believe it.
I haven't actually graded these remakes yet, just peeked at them, that will take me another day or 2 of doing that then attempting to negotiate for any other problems... I don't even know how long they've been done, I've been bugging the guy weekly but he only finally said last weekend (they shipped really fast), when I reached out, that they were finished. He also constantly leaves me on read now, I guess he's feeling as done with me as I feel with him. So I'm really nervous about the outcome here and will keep you updated.
I will have to pay shipping yet again if he sends me more remakes...I'm positive I was ripped off on purpose as this package was $65 and a pound of bubblewrap for no reason. I haven't been sent a tariff bill yet. That I might have to pay them twice for these remakes is very distressing.
Also, I now FINALLY have glitter laminate sticker sheets without any kind of peeling/lifting issues so those can now be fulfilled without incident. This was the 4th total time having those sheets remade. π£
Once all remakes are sorted, those last orders sans 50+ Abduction-inclusive ones can begin going out....
At least wood is now made correctly. π₯΄
Thanks for your patience. This is really upsetting for me as I truly just wanted this to be the last hurdle to getting everything out.
