Hello everyone - I come with some news regarding the pins, but also wanted to drop promo for my currently running project (that is ending soon!) - anyone who pledged to popsicle panic and who ALSO pledges to my Early Summerween project will have the option to combine shipping of both projects if they so choose! This will mean a slightly longer wait to get your popsicles, but it will also mean a much cheaper total shipping cost for you as well :) for those of you who pledged to the Skelly pin specifically, this may be a favorable option anyway, as there will be a delay with that design 😖

As a reminder - all return backers get the following 2" freebie pin:

While grading pins, I came across an unfortunately major issue - somehow, the glow portion of the Skelly pin did not adhere properly to the screen printing (they use a powder for the glow), and it was so badly done, that I was able to rub the glow off entirely using my shirt or finger. THANKFULLY my manufacturer has agreed to remake the entire batch as a result of this error - I am extremely grateful that they did not push back on it at all. In order to prevent any potential extra tariff charges, however, I am planning to have that remake shipped to me with the Pastel Witchy pins.

For those of you who pledge to that campaign and also ordered Skelly, I will go ahead and send your missing pin with your Pastel Witchy rewards - that way, you will not have to wait on ALL of your pins to arrive. Anyone who did not/doesn't plan to pledge to the Pastel Witchy campaign, I will either reach out you individually or you are welcome to comment below or e-mail me at [email protected] in order to let me know if you would like to wait until those come in, or to have your pins shipped separately. I unfortunately will NOT be able to eat the shipping cost for a second shipment this time, so if you do choose that option and will not already have a package being shipped with the Pastel Witchy pin collection be aware I will need to charge a second round of shipping to fulfill that additional order.
If you happen to attend conventions, however, I anticipate the pins to be available for pickup at Matsuricon at the end of August; so that is another option as well (I will probably just need some sort of ID verification or e-mail verification of your pledge to confirm you are who you say you are if you choose thise method!)

Given my current fulfillment timeline has me completing shipping by August, those of you who may choose to wait until the new pin is in likely will not have to wait much longer past the original end date to receive your pins.

Sorry if this explanation is a vit convoluted - I've been both selling and helping s friend sell at Colossalcon Prime this weekend and as a result my sleep schedule has been less than ideal 😭 please feel free to ask questions if anything is unclear to you!

OTHER THAN SKELLY, so far it seems all pins have a reasonable/expected number of B grades and the designs came out excellent~! I can't wait to get these out to you all, and it will definitely be hard for me to sit still and not work while I am recovering in the beginning of June. I am thankful it just seems to be one single design out of ALL 37 that have any major issues. I consider that extremely lucky all things considered!

Thanks for reading the whole update - I will not likely have another up until MID JUNE at this point, unless there is something supremely catastrophic or major that happens. As always, feel free to reach out to me via e-mail - [email protected] - or via comment here, or message on any of my social media!

Thank you all for your continued support <3
