Hello everyone! This is Midnight Springs writing this update because I'm primary contact with the manufacturer.
It's been quiet here so I just wanted to shed some light on the mess that has been happening behind the scenes. For backers only, please refer below the cut for correspondence with the manu that explains pretty much everything, and pay close attention to the dates...
Hey sorry for being so quiet this was in my drafts and I thought I published it!! 20 orders have been packed and sent off to the post office!! In fact most have probably arrived already! 10 were backers of both me and Midnight Springs. All are going to say Midnight Springs for return address because we're sharing the pirateship account.
A couple with single random pins or pink lemonade itself were actually packed because there were 4 pink lemonades that look good, but the rest are being remade. There are other orders still being packed and I have all the moths now so I just sent out an email to people who got the blue moth to see which version purple enamel they like better
I'll update again next week because I'm going to be packing everything else that can be sent out, remakes of things are moving super slowly so there are still a lot that can't be sent yet.
Orders are being sent out and the moth situation was fixed, they're going to remake some of them but not all of them so people can get the one they want. When I have pics to compare the two I'll email. Here's an update of a finished one with the current pink
Also, the bat coins are done and are being sent out to people by Holly, so from me you'll just be getting the boba if you qualify but not the coin
This is taking some time since I'm trying to get diagnosis for some health issues right now while still working
ALSO those who backed Geode Pets, they're arriving this month actually so I should be able to ship your orders together and will post about that on that campaign tomorrow!
Hey everyone, need to know if you think this is ok or not.
First, ignore the epoxy spillage at the bottom wings they said this was a sample they held onto because the quality had issues and that's why it wasn't with the rest in production.
They said that "silver" enamel was put behind the pink translucent enamel. That was done without asking. Because of it, the blue metal can't be seen through the pink at all, so it's very neon still but not purply like it was supposed to be. But do you think this looks okay?
this isn't the best example because the lighting isn't great and this was a video but backerkit doesn't let us embed videos so I tried to screenshot
I made a quick poll and if it isn't unanimously okay I'll ask them to remake that. They did say that if it's not okay that they'll redo it since they didn't ask first, it's just all been so long that I want to get you guys the rest of the pins asap. Crazy because the green moth is going just fine, only this blue one is having all these issues
bottom printing is done so they're about 2/3 done
this kinda shows it better, the pink looks basically opaque now which kinda eliminates the point of it being translucent?
Hi everyone! As you can see, the moths have now been plated so they probably will take only 2 more weeks at most. This factory is much faster. But, you can probably see there was a huge miscommunication for some reason and they made 2 different molds.They should still both resemble the artwork because the blue one was supposed to just have the metal's blue visible up top anyway
This week I'll begin packing. The orders that can currently go out are anything excluding: dangos or chance at dangos, lemonades, moths, Early Summerween bat coin (those are almost done too)
So those will start going out this month and once that wave is out then the stuff to be able to fulfill the others should start coming in and we can keep going Also we got the stickers in 5 of the designs had issues (3 dangos, bonbon and Carmel apple) so will need to be remade but the rest are good Thanks!
