Hi Everyone!

Just a quick note that the mermaids have been paid for and are officially in production as of yesterday!

 
Survey Status

$4268 collected (120 pledges includes 3 new preorder backers )

$1,057 failed/incomplete surveys (11 pledges)

Hi Everyone!

Cards were charged for additional purchases and shipping over the week! We have 134 backers in total, and here is the breakdown of where we are:

$4165 collected (118 pledges includes 2 new preorder backers )

$1,073 failed (12 pledges)
(7 backers have not completed their surveys)

I'm moving ahead with the order, and the 19 backers who we're missing will have the opportunity to update their card information while the order is being made. The 118 get first priority since I have the total pin numbers that I have. The factory will be moving ahead starting Monday. As mentioned, I'll do my best to get extras, but it's difficult to make up numbers to purchase since the majority of these will be one and done orders. T__T

Oh! and here is at least 12 hrs worth of file prepping lol. phew! ready to go!

Hi Everyone! 

So I had a talk with my manu about the last remaining pins that we had hoped to unlock. I'm absolutely thrilled to say that we can unlock these with current totals that we have. It'll be a much smaller pin batch which means the pins will cost a bit more to make, but we should be okay as long as we don't have a bunch of card charging issues. 

We have 9 backers who have not completed their surveys. Please get those completed, especially if you were hoping to get one of these three pin designs. I can't guarantee that we'll have enough for the remaining people to choose freely from if we don't know what you want by July 1st. 

Thank you everyone for helping to expand this collection. These additions would not have been possible without you. <3

Hi Everyone!

We're a little more than a week away from locking orders and charging cards. We have a few backers who have not updated their payment information.

From the Campaign itself, 10 Backers did not complete their payments, and we have failed payments totaling $569

And from the survey portion, we have 114 out of 134 surveys back. Please, please, please don't forget to complete your surveys. It's the only way I know what you want, and I can't wait and cause a delay for the 114 backers who are ready to get the production part started. T__T So if I only have the surveys I currently have by July 1st, I'll make the order based off of our totals. After July 1st, everyone who completed their survey will get priority over the best pins and will receive the pins they selected. I will try to order extras, but it's difficult when backers during the LIVE campaign decide to no longer participate after the campaign closes. It unfortunately ends up hurting the campaign overall.

I had a backer assume that the platform covered losses, which is very untrue. We receive ONLY the funds that are collected, and even that has fees taken out for both the platform and banking/card system before we even seen any of it. So if you plan to participate in a campaign, but have no plan to apply funds towards it, it would be more helpful to reverse your pledge. You're basically stacking the deck, and we count on everyone to be honest with their intentions. <3
