Hello again friend, 

I just received word from my production partner that the RPG pins should be finishing up this week and if all goes smoothly with shipping should be to me by the middle of July.  I am hoping to have pictures to share next week.

Once I get them in hand I will be inspecting and packing them and should be able to start shipping them out at the end of July if there are no unforeseen issues.  

Also...

You may have also seen that I am launching another project on July 15.  It is quite different than my usual work, but it was truly a labor of love.  Feel free to take a look and read the fun backstory for this upcoming project.  I am hoping it goes well because when the tariffs dipped for the 90 day period I panic-ordered 100 of each letter before doing any funding for it, so here's hoping I can at least break even!  😅

Hello again,

Just dropping off another design video. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Kind regards,

Hello again friends,

I have another design video below to help fill the time while we wait on production of the pins. 

My best guess is that I will receive the pins some time in July, but that is not a guarantee.  As soon as I havre anything more definite regarding when I will receive them I will let you know!

I always apricate your patience and support.

Kindest regards,
Joshua R Pinkas

 

Hello again!

I hope you are doing well. 

I tell you, I think this waiting period is the hardest part of any pin project for me.  There is literally nothing I can do to advance this project other than wait. 

So while we continue to wait for the pins to be produced, here is another design video: Living Bard

As always, I truly appreciate your patience and support.  

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to let me know and I will do my best to address them.  

Kindest regards,

Hello again friends,

I wanted to make a dedicated post for the proception update as I know some folks don't read the video updates as closely.  I also have a special announcement...

The pins are still in production.  I expect them to take at least another month or so to be completed.  This is because this is a very large order of pins, and I always make a point to remind my production partner that quality is my highest priority, not speed.  On the plus side, this slow production process helped me dodge what I hope was the worst of the tariff situation.  

In the mean time while we wait I am packaging up all of the add-ons that I already have in hand, so that I will only have to deal with packing the new designs once those arrive.

Speaking of add-ons...  I am doing something VERY unusual and adding another add-on option in the Pledge Manager for this RPG project.

Please note that I JUST put this design into production TODAY.  This design will be completed AFTER the RPG designs, as a result adding this design to your pledge manager WILL delay your receipt of the rest of your pins. 

It is now available in the Pledge Manager for this project.  I have also added it to the Pre-Order Store for those who did not back Black Cat RPG 5.

This design will be available in my shop once I get them, but I had a few people ask if I could add this to the Pledge Manager to save on shipping cost and environmental impact of shipping separately.

I call this design 'Screaming for Justice'.  It depicts a screaming opossum dressed as Lady Justice holding a sword and scales while an orange snake is pinned down underfoot.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know and I will be happy to address them to the best of my ability.  

Kindest regards,
