Project Update: ˗ˏˋ PokéPostageSeries 2 Announcement ˎˊ˗ | Campaign Update, Tarriff News, and More!
Hi guys! Miso here!
Firstly, a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has purchased from my Etsy or subscribed to my Pin Club! I have been able to get in 2/3 shipments of pins, as am currently still waiting for the keychains, stickers, and stickerbooks!
As I'm working on the Choose Your Mentor pledges, pin club, and finishing up a couple of older pledges over the next month, I will be running PokéPostageSeries 2! It is a direct continuation of the first PokéPostage, found here.
This campaign will feature 15 new pins, and a freebie pin designed by one of my friends named FrostyPhoenix11! Frost not only did the freebie pin, but two of the main pins as well!
This campaign will be launching end of April! Make sure you hit the notify me on launch button- Early Bird tiers will be limited!

Project Update: -ˏˋ⋆ They're Coming... ⋆ˊˎ- | Campaign/Pin Update!
Hello everyone! Miso here. Please read through even if you haven't pledge to Choose Your Mentor!
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
I have some campaign updates to share with everyone!!
First off, all pins are finished! The backing cards were finished last night and they have begun to package the boxes for me. They have not shipped to me quite yet, but they will be by Wednesday, and I'm hoping they will arrive by Friday, if not Monday! I will be including some photos at the bottom of this update of them! I'm EXTREMELY excited to have them in hand!
The only two things that are NOT finished yet are 1) if you pledged for the Your OC as a Pin tier- the artwork for your design has not been finished by Liv and I yet, meaning your pins have not been ordered. We're working as hard as we can to get them done asap however!
The second thing that is not finished is the keychains, stickers, ect! They were ordered a bit ago, but the manufacturer is unfortunately taking their sweet time. Chances are that the pins will arrive before the rest of the items will! I will keep everyone updated.

Tarriff Update
With all the positive news above, I wanted to touch on a couple things about the tarriffs. I know that the tarriffs look terrifying (they ARE terrifying), but I want to make sure that you guys know that I am going to do everything I can to not have the tarriffs effect my pricing.
- I'm in talks with my manufacturer about the steps we are going to take from here in order to make sure that I can continue to do what I love.
- With that said, I will not lie to you guys by saying I'm not nervous about the tarriffs effecting this shipment of pins, keychains, stickers and everything else. They officially go into effect on the 9th and my worry is that they won't be inside the US before then.
- IF there are ANY tarriff fees associated with these pins, I am going to front all of the costs of it myself.
- As a preemptive measure around this- I am running a sale on my Etsy! It is a flat 20% off the entire store- alongside a free shipping coupon I am extending to everyone here.
- IF YOU USE THE FREE SHIPPING COUPON, YOUR ETSY ORDER WILL SHIP WITH YOUR BACKERKIT ORDER.
- This sale is to help with any tarriff fees I potentially get (I am expecting it), if you so choose! I will still be fronting any extra fees.
- Here is the link to my Etsy!!

One final update for everyone!!
I have officially launched a Pin Club and a Sticker Club on Ko-Fi!
These pins and stickers will NOT be centered solely around Pokémon, they will include anything from Warriors, to anime designs, to original animal arts (like my Raccoons!!)
The first two months are already decided- and then every month starting June will be voting!!
Please check it out if you are a fan of my pins/stickers- its the best way to get exclusive designs!
If you aren't a fan of the two designs for April, join my Discord ! I will be posting the new designs for the upcoming months there once theyre voted on!

Project Update: Shipping Fixed! | Project Update
Hello everyone! Miso here!
The shipping discrepancy is 100% fixed thanks to Backerkit! I'm sending out a final reminder before locking orders so please be on the lookout for that! Once I lock orders, I will charge cards, and then I'll get the pin order going!
Thank you guys so much!
For those with the Your OC As a Pin tier, I am working on the pin designs for the references I have been sent so far! I will have updates on those soon!

Project Update: Shipping Discrepancy | Project Update!
Hello everyone! Miso here with a campaign update!
Firstly: The molds for the pins have been paid for and are in production!
Secondly: Small issue with shipping. It seems that for some of the pledge levels themselves shipping was not charging during the survey phase. When I say not charging, I mean that it was not showing that some people owed *ANYTHING* for shipping, despite other people in the same pledge being charged shipping.
I'm not 100% sure why/how it happened, but I have now fixed it! I have sent all surveys out to each of you- please fill it out asap! If you've already filled it out, it keeps your original info/what your shipping address is, it just makes you reverify your card and/or shipping charges.
Thirdly: None of the soft enamel minipins of the clan symbols funded unfortunately. I have removed those pins from your cart if you attempted to order one to fund them! Scourge and Yellowfang HAVE funded, so I left those in the carts!
Preorders for yellowfang and scourge are still open, as well as the ability to order ANY OTHER ADD-ONS through either the preorder page OR your survey! Find the preorder page here!
If there are any issues with the survey from here on, please let me know! Each backer should have SOMETHING to pay for in shipping, it should not say 0!
Again, so sorry for any inconvenience, thank you so much! Once these surveys are mostly filled, i will be able to place the pin order! Thank you guys!
