Ok, I hadn't planned on one more update, but since another sponsored critter came flying in last minute I want to at least let you know what's coming! I don't have any art yet, but I can tell you it will be a full body pin, of a creature of a different kind:
I'm way less knowledgable about prehistoric animals than modern wildlife, so I'll try my best to satisfy the paleontologists among us. Hopefully I can share a design soon, but things are very hectic. Not art may be 100% cleaned up, but I will make sure to have more finished designs by the time I am sending out your backer surveys.
With all these stretch goals unlocked, the last bit really matters for me. Anything on top of what currently got raised will help me to actually earn some money rather than just offset the cost. So thank you so much in advance!
There are also some minor updates to announce: - The add-ons for additional sets of 4 portrait pins now do not only include the hyenas, but also the lemur and canids sets. - I will soon be adding an add-on for backing cards. Pins come with the most optimal and safe packaging rather than on individual backing cards by default. You can include this add-on to opt in to have all your pins delivered on individual branded backing cards in clear plastic sleeves. Pin sets may come together on a larger branded backing card. Note: All my pins have backstamps with my name and rubber clutches included. No worries, add-ons can still be added after the campaign has ended.
To make this last mail worthwhile and thank some of my fellow creators, I'm sharing a few shout outs below to campaigns that just need a little push to make their (stretch) goals. Who knows what can happen in these final THREE AND A HALF hours!
Anxious Cheetah and Emotional Support Puppy has sadly not raised its main goal yet, and needs a bit over $1000 to make their project a reality!
The Lily Pad ITA bag also has not reached its main goal yet, and needs another $2800 to make it happen. But who knows...? (Either way, keep an eye on it if you like it, since it may re-launch or be up for pre-orders anyway!)
This one I'm personally invested in because it ships from Europe (and the US), and I want one. The Frutiger Aero ITA bag is only around €860 short of its main goal!
Mint Chocoturtle & Pals Plush has just reached its main goal, but still has so many other cute stretch goals to unlock! Next up is the adorable melonbread turtle you see above!
Lock Stress Monsters has several adorable Nessies to choose from! But some of the absolute fan favorites are still unlocked, and it would be amazing if those goals can still be reached. They're just $750 away from unlocking Dark Ness!
Sakura Bear & Ichigo Rabbit have so many cute things to unlock still! They're some £450 away from their next goal.
Buster Frankencorgi is alive! But help to offset costs is definitely still welcome, so I'm sharing him with you!
Many of the projects have had their raised amount dip due to unusually high cancellations. Mythic Pins is among them, and one of their unlocked goals lost its funding! That sucks and hopefully the missing $250 can still be raised!
Lemon Shark & Friends is currently self-funding the last few stretch goals, and could really use all the help they can get. I adore this plushie and there's many to choose from, as well as pins!
Bilby Burrows Plushies & Pins is just £250 away from reaching the red panda stretch goal in their adorable line up of plushies!
Silly Critters has yet to unlock the two objectively best pins, the bat and kangaroo, and I'm very mad about this because I want those! They're less than $600 away from the kangaroo! ...please?
Challenge Coin Critters still has a whole bunch of pins on its roster to unlock, and needs just $350 to reach the pointy birds! Also... parrots and ...lemurs?! GIVE US THE LEMURS.
