pintopia 2026 ends in just 4 HOURS! 🦇
hey everyone! i just wanted to pop in and share that pintopia 2026 ends in just 4 hours.
i know you're all bat fans, so if you wanna snag some cute bat themed pins for you...
hey friends! i've been massively swamped with work IRL lately and haven't had time to really be online at all, but i wanted to give a quick update about the batpack series 2 project that was supposed to launch at the beginning of may.
when i first set the project up earlier in the year, i was pretty optimistic that the new samples would be done & that we'd have everything secured and set up for the project by the end of april. unfortunately, both march & all of april so far ended up being crazy busy for me (started a second job, tattooing picking up, tax season + learning how to do taxes for a whole new country now that ive moved, etc), and i just didnt have nearly enough time to dedicate to the project to get it up and running by may 1st.
so, currently, ive pushed back the estimated launch date to july 1st of this year. this also means that, unfortunately, the project will no longer be part of the bag bazaar group collab as originally planned. 💔
however, some good news! this does mean that you guys have more time to save up if you want to support the project, & i'll be able to have the project set up to run for longer than the two week period bad bazaar is going to be running for. so keep an eye out for more batpack series 2 news as we head into the summer!
please keep in mind that this new estimated launch date is just that: an estimate. if things continue to be crazy for me IRL, it's not out of the question that the project could be delayed for even longer. what's most important to me is delivering to you guys a project that meets my personal standards & gives you guys the best version of my products, and i dont want to compromise that by trying to adhere to a specific launch date (until i decide to set one in stone, of course). so for now, i'll be aiming for early july, but be advised that this could certainly change.
i hope everyone's having an amazing month so far! talk to you all soon. 🦇
first off, i wanted to thank all of you who have stopped by the flying friends preorder store and picked up a batpack (or any of the other available items!) so far; if you picked up a batpack, or any other item that wasn't listed as a preorder, you should have gotten your items already, so please do share photos with me of your new batty goods if you havent already!
I wanted to share that i recently got a new shipment of batpacks in, so ive added more vampire bats as well as the addition of brown bat and dreamy bat as options to the preorder store! so, if you were hoping to get one of those designs, nows the time to snag them!
of course, as another reminder, if youre in the US and want to get a batpack without paying for tariffs, all 3 of these aforementioned designs (vampire, brown bat, and dreamy bat) will likely be available during the series 2 project this summer, which will ship from the states!
ill hopefully have some more updates regarding the series 2 project very soon, plus some other upcoming projects of mine -- so stay tuned! 🦇
as promised, im here to let you know that the preorder store for my flying friends project -- aka the only place currently where you can buy extra batpacks online -- opens TOMORROW MORNING (2/28/26) at 10am PST!!
as a reminder, this store:
has very limited designs in stock (a few vampire, a few flying fox, & then a good amount of honduran white bat & cupid bat designs)
has a ton of ready to ship items, but if you order any items labeled "PREORDER", you wont get your order for a few months
will incur tariff fees at checkout if you're in the US
if you want to wait for more designs to be available, keep checking back over the next few weeks! I should be getting more in soon.
if you want to instead wait until a restock of popular designs during the batpack series 2 project in may, in order to get tariff free shipping, that'stotally fine as well :)
hey everyone! i wanted to give you guys a little update about the extra batpacks + the flying friends pre-order store.
i've just submitted for setup review for that project's survey, which means we're just a few days away from the pre-order store opening. so, if any of you are wanting to grab a batpack via the flying friends store, here's what you need to know!
i currently only have four batpack designs available -- vampire bat, cupid bat, honduran white bat, and flying fox. there's still multiple boxes waiting to be shipped to me from my fulfillment company, but i can't afford the import fees currently so we're holding off for a bit on sending the rest.
i have very limited stock of the ones i have available. so, please keep an eye out for exactly when the preorder store opens if you want the chance to snag one! i'm waiting to open the pre-order store at the same time as flying friends project surveys are sent out, in order to allow everyone a fair chance to snag one of the batpacks if they're interested.
if you want a different design, feel free to hold off for now! i'm hoping to put up some more unit quantity + more of the designs early next month.
tariff fees are currently down about 5% than they were initially. it's still a lot (28.3% vs 33.3%) but that's also something to keep in mind. this could change at any time, however.
remember, you can also wait until the series 2 project in may if you want to avoid tariff fees + don't mind waiting for a while for a restock of a popular design!
hey there, everyone! I have some exciting news to share with you guys today!
if any of you supported my flying friends pintopia project this year, you'll know that quite a few people had asked if i'd have extra batpacks available as add-ons! i didnt want to promise anything at the time, since i wasnt sure what the timeline was gonna be on me receiving extra batpacks! but, GREAT NEWS:
extra batpacks have FINALLY started to arrive!! 🦇❤️
so, what does this mean for you guys?
i would love to now offer original series batpacks as add-ons through the upcoming pre-order store for flying friends! this means that you'll be able to use the pre-order store to purchase an original series batpack even if you didn't support my pintopia campaign this year!
there IS one big catch, though: because these batpacks will be sent out to you guys from here in canada, as opposed to my stateside fulfillment company for the original batpack project, US customers will need to pay tariff fees if you order from the flying friends pre-order store.
so, if you're a customer in the US & you don't mind waiting for a bit, i'd recommend waiting and snagging an original batpack during my series 2 batpack campaign in may, which will be fulfilled by the same fulfillment company as the original campaign!
the tradeoff for this, however, is that i only plan on restocking the most popular series 1 designs in may, in order to focus on the series 2 ones -- so some of the original designs won't be available in may at all. this is all good information to keep in mind!
i also know all the fulfillment specifics can be a little confusing -- i'm sure some of you are wondering why i even had the leftover batpacks sent to me at all! the truth is that i'd love to be able to sell the batpacks wholesale & consignment wise up here and canada, and id love to bring them to conventions with me & to have them in my online store; all of that means i need to keep at least some of my stock up here in canada with me. plus, in order to offer them as add-ons during my pintopia campaigns, i need to have them here as well!
maybe in the future i'll end up consolidating things a bit more, but this is kinda where things are at for now. i hope that makes sense!
for now, the pre-order store for flying friends won't be opening for another week or so. (maybe a bit earlier, we'll see!) once it's live, i'll push another update to you guys in case you wanna snag a batpack (or anything else available in the pre-order store) -- just be prepared for those 33.3% tariff fees 😭
that's all for now! we're still working on series 2 batpack samples, so i dont have an update for you guys on that quite yet. hopefully we'll have some pics by the end of the month!
