The samples officially all have molds and are in the process of being made!
Take a look at these pictures of the unplated/non-filled parts! The quality of the photos isn't great, but I was also sent videos that look fantastic! (Backerkit doesn't support videos, but I'll be posting them on my Instagram story tomorrow if y'all want a closer look.) I'm happy everything is moving along smoothly so far. I ordered the samples last week, so this progress is great news!
Also, for those of you who pre-ordered the Superman Snowglobe Pin, the CATEYE effect under the snowglobe effect looks FANTASTIC so far! Here's a photo of that(the video will also be on my story tomorrow). It is so gorgeous as it moves.
The final bit of news is that I'll be locking orders in early August. I need to lock them soon so I have accurate numbers on the amount of pins and extras needed, so this will hopefully happen on the 2nd or 3rd. You will all get emails BEFORE I lock the orders, and then your cards will be charged for any extra add-ons you purchased and shipping. (I'm going to stress this because I saw a couple of people doubling up on add-ons they purchased during the campaign. If you want doubles, that's totally cool, but if you don't want doubles, be sure to edit your survey before the 2nd so you don't accidentally buy two of something you only want 1 of.)
THIS WILL NOT LOCK YOUR ADDRESS. You'll be able to change your shipping address all the way up until I have everything in hand. (If you wanted the Superman pin now that you've seen one of the cool effects, you can add it to your order before I lock them this week!)
Addition: Locking orders currently only applies to the surveys that are filled out! I know I'm working fast so no worries if you're late to the survey! I have enough surveys for accurate counts, just get them in as soon as you can!
