First of all, a massive thank you for the fabulous start to Pintopia 2026. We're on our way to last stretch goal tier and that's great. Thank you all for your support :).
We have a new poll below. For the £5500 tier I really need your feedback.
So far each tier has had one standard pin (2") and one mini pin (1.5"). I was planning to make the veined octopus a standard pin, but the more I work on it the more I realise its got a loooot of details. Here's a look at the kind of messy WIP;
The pattern is just starting and you can see how complicated it is. To make it the way I'd like to, it would need to be a 2.5" large pin, with several layers of print to make up the shading. That's the next size up from standard, it'd be in its own category at around £14 each. I'll add an add-on so you can add it to your existing order, and some different pledge tier bundles you can switch to if you'd rather. If we do go up a size, we might have one or two more large size designs in higher stretch goals, if we fund that far. I'll also have a different standard design in this tier as well - meaning the £5500 will have three different pins.
Alternatively, I simplify the design a little bit and just release it as a standard pin. It'll have less shading but still be cool. Make sure you vote below.
Otherwise! I really want your guys' suggestions. Any stationery you'd like to see this time around? I'm thinking a stickerbook design maybe. And any species requests, those are always fun - I get to look up stuff. If we do use your suggestion you get a crow prize pin so don't be shy :).
Otherwise, stay tuned. The veined design should be finished in the next day or two and there should be more to come!
