The audience takes their seats and the performers take the big top stage! Vote for your favorite design preview to determine the order of their introduction (and unlock order!)
We'd like to thank each of you for your support and excitement for this project, as the funding period has officially come to a close! With your guys' help we were able to unlock all of our offerings; Each of the pins and mini pins, all of their colorways, even a new run for the original Midnight Festival, and much more!
We are very thankful to have a community that admires our art and loves our work. We're excited to bring you along for our future projects as well :>
Survey Shenanigans:
We have officially blocked out some time for setting up the surveys over the next few days, and the first smoke tests are scheduled to be sent out on May 14th. Once feedback is received from our testers and any/all of the issues have been resolved the surveys will be sent out only a few days later. We're shooting for a Saturday on the 16th!
Once The surveys have been sent out they'll be due after two weeks at which point the payments and surveys will be locked. With everything according to plan this should happen on May 30th!
We'll be mindful to send occasional updates as we progress through the survey process (as well as through production and fulfillment when that time comes) 🫡
Future Funsies:
Currently on our horizon we've got two upcoming projects, the nearest of which being Filipino Folklore a campaign that focuses on the mythology from Tokii's ancestral home in the Philippines. Research and preparations for this project have begun, and you can expect to see inclusions of the creatures and cryptids that haunt the jungles and are the antagonists of many a cautionary tale. If that sounds of interest to you, click the image below to follow that project! Filipino Folklore is set to launch June 16th during the Pinquest event :3
Later on in the year for the Pocket Change event we've been wanting to make a bunch of little mushroom friends for our Mini Myconid campaign. These fun guys will be designed off of different species of real-world mushrooms both of edible and inedible variety. So whether you're a fan of eating Portobellos or a partaker of admiring Destroying Angels from a safe distance, this project will have something fun for you! Plus little guys are just fun even if you're not a mushroom enthusiast. :> Click the image below to follow the project, set to launch on August 6th!
Im working on some options for additional pins to add to the project, since we got so far beyond what i was thinking! Its just taking me a bit longer than anticipated right now, so i wanted to go ahead and update to say thank you so much!! It means a lot to me to have you all here as part of this. Ill hopefully have some news for you soon, and i hope you're doing well!!
HOORAY!! The campaign is finally over (12 hours later than intended? :'D???)!!!
It went GREAT!! Thank you all SO MUCH for the support with these pins!!
In a while, cards will start being charged for the campaign! Please keep an eye on if your card goes through or not, and please make an effort to fix it if it doesn't! ;w; The amount that is received plays a big role in what pins get ordered!
I will work on getting the survey ready to ship out within the next couple weeks, with their sending most likely after the cards have finished charging. ^^
Meanwhile, here's a quick poll! What kind of pins would you like to see from me in the future?
Thanks so much, and have a great day, everyone! :D
Hello everyone! Just a gentle reminder that payment for your pledges is now due! ^^ So far, 9 people's payments have not gone through. This is often an issue with backerkit so please make sure to check your cards!
This will likely be my last update before the campaign ends, since there is now (less than) 7 hours left!!!
Be sure to pledge for everything you'd like before the end! :]
And of course, I also bring... variant art...
(I will admit, part of what took me so long to show these was that I got very worried about if everyone would like them. I hope that they do not disappoint! 🙏)
TA-DAH...!!
Now, things to note about this image/the set itself...
1. BIG THING: The sizes here are NOT accurate to how they will be together. The wing displays are both 3" wide, so they will actually be a similar width. Sorry if this was confusing to anyone! The actual sizing is listed for everything in my campaign story! 2. Solid enamel parts with gold will have a shimmer. I am still figuring out which kind of shimmer, but it will be shimmery. 3. Gold stained glass on the Mounted Wings and Wet Specimen are intended to have some glitter. Please keep in mind that the glitter may be more sparse on stained glass... I am not entirely sure how it works yet, but I'm eager to see! 4. I am asking if I can have gold glitter on the black stained glass for the Butterfly Dragon; not sure if this is allowed yet or not. I'll update again later, if not, and may instead do some glitter on the wings instead.
Of course, you will be allowed to mix and match colors when you do your survey, so if you only like one or some of this variant, you can choose as you like, assuming you pledged for the appropriate amount of pins. You are also allowed to skip this variant completely if you prefer other colors!
We are officially back home from our trip to see my sister, and back into fulfillment for Infernal Invasions (one of our previous campaigns) fulfillment is a tedious process but we took a momentary break from it because we'd received a few emails asking for details on how the original Yokai from the first Midnight Festival campaign would be made available. Our answer is that there is a variety of ways all of you will have the opportunity, so we've listed them below, find the title that best fits your ideals and it will explain how the original designs will be made available to you;
-
I would like the OG Yokai at their original price of $15: The original Yokai will be made available at their original price as an add-on during the survey phase. This will not replace any of your current pins you've pledged for, but it will require an additional add-on or add-ons depending on how many of the original Yokai you'd like. We'll be sure to include discounted options for those of you looking for multiple ;>
I would like to avoid additional add-ons to my current pledge: Do not fret! The original Yokai will also be available to anyone who has pledged for at least one Yokai pin as well as for anyone who has selected add-ons for an additional Yokai pin or pins. You won't have to increase your pledge amount to get the Yokai you desire, Though the benefit of getting them at their reduced price will not be available through this method
I am uncertain which pin designs I want: We don't blame you at all, there's a lot of options to choose from! Though I still wouldn't worry too much - if you find out that you would like more of what was offered during this campaign (Whether it's a banner, one of the original Yokai pins, or anything else from this project) they will be available for you as add-ons during the survey phase :>

If you have any further questions or comments you can leave them down below or you can send them to us through email at [email protected]
I just wanted to let you all know there are currently 8 pledges that have failed. Please check your cards to make sure they have gone through ASAP if you want your pins!
