Hey cryptid lovers!

I'll be honest - today isn't going to be the best update! 😕

First off I want to address an issue with the Dullahan Mini Pin.

As I was initially going through all the pins, I was testing the glow colors to see how they looked and in the process I found out that the mini Dullahan pin was made with the incorrect glow color. It was supposed to be green, but the manufacturer used blue powder instead.

I wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the fact that the manufacturer DID use the correct green powder for the large Dullahan pin, so now they don't match 😕

This is very annoying, and when I brought it up with my manufacturer they said that because they otherwise look fine, they won't remake them for me for free 😑 Even though I specifically stated in my order that I wanted green and it's on them for using the wrong color. C'est la vie.

Unfortunately for that reason, I don't want to reorder ALL the pins unless it's necessary, but I do acknowledge that there are some folks (possibliy a lot of you!) who will want the large and small version to match each other.

So I've made a Google form for folks who want the corrected color to fill out. Please keep in mind, that since the pins will need to be remade, it may take folks who choose to get remade pins longer to receive their order. Please fill out this form if you want to wait and receive the corrected green glow Dullahan mini pin:

Dullahan Glow Color Form

Anyone who does not fill out this form by the time I start shipping, I will assume is ok with receiving the BLUE glow pin and that's what they will be sent.

That's all for that news. Onwards to the rest of the update!

As some of you know, I'm planning to launch my next pin set next month on October 21st. Originally I had said that I was planning to have the Cryptid Crushes pins shipped out by then, which would have put me well ahead of my original fulfillment timeline.

However, I'm very behind on my preparation to launch The Dark Wood, so I have a lot of catch up to do to be prepared to launch. For the next few weeks leading up to launch I am going to be going hard on getting all the art and campaign graphics & information done so I actually have pins to sell 😂

So my new plan is to get all that done as quickly as possible so I can shift focus back to fulfilling Cryptid Crushes. This does mean that my original plan to fulfill them beforehand is no longer viable, and for that I apologize.

The good news is, even considering that delay, I should still be on track to ship the pins out in my originally stated timeline on the campaign page, which is November at the latest. I am hoping to use the time that The Dark Wood is running to ship out Cryptids.

Thanks in advance for understanding!

Phew, that was a long update - Thank you to any one who bothered to read this far, I appreciate you!

Sorry this wasn't the most fun update, and I again appreciate your understanding in the matter. I am just one lil dude running all this stuff and trying to balance everything is definitely a skill I'm still developing, so thank you for your patience!

Until next time!

Cheers,
Rain
