It's the *dramatic* final days of Pintopia so here's a reminder to everyone. Hullo!👋
⚠There's an important update on US shipping prices at the bottom of the mail.
The Omamori Spirits campaign ends on Thursday at 10PM CEST. Keep in mind that all products are discounted during the campaign, and won't be available at conventions or in my online shop yet for a few months. Backers get them sooner!
FINALLY: The Shrine standee is now available both as add-on or all-in Pledge Level! Backers that order the standee (standard set below) will also receive a simple lobster clasp for each pin they order, so they can display it in the shrine. :3 The initial idea was to also produce special omamori knot strings, but I had to drop that.😔 This is something I'll keep researching, so it can hopefully be added in the future.
The Shrine, standard set
Because it's been a while since I added new content and we've long passed the highest stretch goal, the next stretch goal will be very close within reach to remain fair. Let's introduce STANDEE EXPANSION PACKS!
(Shading on Foo Dog 2 will be changed to fit the overall lighting--sunlight comes from the left.)
It IS possible to swap out parts but please note the standee material isn't made for this. The upright parts fit into the base very snuggly to avoid wobbling. Constant removing and replacing of parts can lead to a less sturdy standee. Think push buttons that get loose over time (ugh...childhood memories).
And now, finally...a new, ultimate stretch goal: The Water Shrine expansion. Consisting of a new base (Water instead of standard Meadow) and three acrylic parts. The wave crests will be fully opaque and the rest transparent.
Extra shrine fronts, bases and unlocked separate parts can be ordered later. After the campaign ends you'll be charged for your Pledge first. After that a survey follows to determine your shipping costs, with a final possibility to add more products.
Let me know in the comments if you feel an add-on or Pledge option is still missing! :)
In less good news: Sadly I have to raise the shipping costs to the US. 😢 Previously €25, I have to raise parcel shipping to €30. I apologise for giving an incorrect estimate before, and understand this is frustrating on top of the import duties and tariffs (of which the latter can still change depending on the situation in the US).
Here's the heads up before the campaign ends so you can still change your pledge, or maybe decide to do a group order to split costs with friends. More pins means a higher discount.☝
Flat mail shipping remains the same.
That's it for now! Thank you all for your trust and joined enthusiasm for this project. I hope you found many wonderful projects to support during the Pintopia event.❤ It was my first one and I'm very grateful to have been part of it.
