The beetle bags campaign has now concluded!

In the next 2 weeks, the surveys will be sent out to your emails! The surveys will collect your shipping address, let you add new items to your order, change your pledge level, and select your items of choice. Shipping for your order will also be calculated, however it will not be charged until we are 1 month from fulfilling orders! Stay tuned to updates + refer to the shipping timeline chart in the campaign story to know when that will be.

What if the item I want does not have a sample yet?

No worries! The surveys will stay opened until all samples have been completed and shared in new updates. That way, you can make an informed decision on what items you’d like to get in your order! All items unlocked during the campaign are currently getting samples produced and will continue for the next month or so (depending on how many revisions are needed.)

When does the bulk production start?

Bulk production will start once surveys lock so we can know how many of each item to order! Please follow along with updates and don’t forget to take the survey, as a late submission may result in us having to refund your order if we did not produce enough of an item.

What if I move before shipping/fulfillment begins?

No worries! You can always email us [email protected] after surveys lock and we will make sure that is corrected for you. Please take the surveys as soon as you can, you can put your current address if you need but this is how we will know how much stock to order so it’s best to take it early!

We are estimating shipping to begin in March 2026 and continue through April 2026! Please keep in mind this is subject to change, as we are currently a team of only 2 people and this is the most backers we’ve ever had. If there are delays in an item’s production, we will also make an update to let you know the status + new estimates of shipping times. 

I know a lot of you are completely new to Backerkit, so hopefully this can cover some of the frequently asked questions to new backers. Thank you so much to everyone who supported, this has been our biggest collection yet and some of the coolest stuff we’ve had the chance to produce so far!! 🪲🎉

This plush will be quite large, comparable to our giant millipede plushie. The straps are planned to be removable just like the beetle bags.

The sample will now be put into production, I hope we are able to share some pictures with you soon!! (Est. 2-3 weeks or more)

I’d also like to remind everyone who’s been following but hasn’t pledged yet that the early bird tiers will be ending on the 6th! You can always switch your tier or cancel your pledge later, but this is the last chance to get the discounted prices on the beetle bag or bundle tier 🪲 

I’m currently thinking about what other stretch goal designs I could do and what to price them at, but you can expect some new stuff in the next update! Thanks again to everyone who’s supported this campaign so far, we are super excited about this entire collection and can’t wait to bring it to life!!

Hey everyone! Apologies for the slow update, as usual we ended up having more bad health days than accounted for 🥲. But we have  super exciting news, we finally have a centipede varsity jacket sample that we can show! 

Not sure why they used brown, but no worries! We’re having it corrected to match the concept artwork and putting it into production ASAP

We also have photos back for the first ladybug bag sample! In my opinion it could be a lot cuter and closer to the original sketch, so we’re going to have it go through another round of revisions

For the acorn weevil, we’re getting a lot closer to the colors but still not quite there. Hopefully this next one can be the finalized version!

Giraffe weevil is almost perfect! I do want the legs to be a bit different tho, they kinda look goofy here haha

I’d also like to share some photos of the embroidered keychains:

And finally, enamel pins have just completed manufacturing and are on their way to us now!

Beetle bags - manufacturing has began for all bags with a completed sample! (Includes: coconut beetle, rhino beetle, hercules beetle, goliath beetle, and stag beetle) Any beetle bags not listed here are still having revisions

Centipede Bag - manufacturing in progress

Plush pencils cases - samples in revision (no new photos yet, catch them in the next update)

Centipede Varsity - manufacturing will begin at the beginning of March! Final sample will have original grey colors of the concept art

Stickers - manufacturing in progress

✅Enamel pins - PRODUCTION COMPLETE

Embroidered keychains - manufacturing in progress

Beetle Beret - Sample was complete, but wasn’t exactly what we are looking for. Looking for alternative manufacturers (the search continues)

For items on schedule, refer to original graphic from the campaign!
However, we did end up having a lot more sample revisions than expected/accounted for initially. A lot of items got delayed since we want them to be as close to the original artworks as possible. Any product currently still in sampling has a new estimate of shipment starting in June/July and going through August-September. If you need help changing your shipping address at any time we would love to have you email [email protected]! 

Thank you so much again for your patience 🪲💖 Next update should include photos for the remaining sample updates/revisions and announce more items going into manufacturing! Let us know your thoughts on the current sample photos below :D
