And welcome to the (hopefully) last update for this project. Thank you for sticking around with me for this and I am so sorry its taken as long as it has for the pins to get in your hands. But they should be arriving soon!
I will start shipping out packages on Friday. I have unfortunately run out of boxes so I need to order more. There are 13 packages that need boxes still so please just wait a little bit longer! The rest of you please enjoy the pins and hopefully they get to you as swift as possible.
My next project, Derpy Herpetology: Dyed Enamel Pins, will be launching on the 22nd of this month with pintopia! This campaign focuses on real frogs, snakes, geckos etc.! These will also be made with an entirely new manufacturer that is also making my Classic Frogster pins, so they should not take nearly as long, and should (hopefully) not have the problems these pins had.
Thank you again for your patience and support, I hope to see you in future froggy projects! Kai
Happy new year everyone! I hope everyone's holidays were fantastic and frog filled!
To update on the pin situation, I have graded some of the pins but I am currently waiting on jump rings to arrive so I can add beads to the water leaper and the Wizard froggy. Currently orders are (finally) set to start shipping out January 8th, please give me time as its just me that packs and ships all the orders. But rest assured all packages will be shipped by the end of January at the latest.
I am so so sorry for the massive delay on this project, while most of it is entirely outside my control I still feel bad. I will be including some extra little freebies for everyone as an extra apology.
I have to grade them all and attach beads to the respective designs. Unfortunately there is a problem with the Ogama pins haha...
The screen print is missing.. And honestly a remake of these is very low. I will be emailing the affected backers seperatly for a couple solutions so please keep an eye out for that!
All other pins seem to be good! And the thickness is much more acceptable
I'll share pins once I've officially graded them. As expected pins won't be shipping until January for a couple reasons. It'll take a bit for me to fully grade them all and to attach beads. In conjunction with the holidays this month it's just going to take me a bit.
I Hope you understand! Thank you so much for your patience and your continued patience. I really do appreciate it so much.
I will update you again when pins are graded and ready to go out!
Wonderful news everyone, the pins have shipped! Due to the holidays and the fact my manu used the cheapest shipping, idk when they'll actually get here. Of course before the holidays would be preferred but we'll see.
My grandma is coming up for the holidays next week, and I don't plan on doing much work that week so I can spend time with her! And the week of Christmas I don't plan on doing much work besides a full inventory.
So depending when they get here and how long it takes me to quality check them, I may not get the packages out until early January. And that currently is my plan. I apologize for the delay but December is usually my rest month to get all my inventory checked and spend time with my family. I hope you understand!
Thank you so so much for your patience! Please just wait a little longer 🐸💚 Kai
Further samples of the pins! These are all the final samples with print colors and their final effects!
For the Froenix I know he was supposed to be red chrome. If I'm being completly honest with you, the manu forgot I think so I have no idea if they're going to be chrome... I'm really sorry this manu honestly has been a huge pain and I feel lucky to even have them remake the pins at all. I'll do my best but just be prepared for it to be gold instead.
I don't have pictures of the Unifrog or Ogama but I believe they're being worked on still. I'm holding out hope that these will be done by tge end of the year! Thank you for your Patience with this project I really apperciate it!
