It's 1996 again! Don't think about how that's officially been 30 years... instead, let's think of the memories!
This campaign strives to encapsulate that nostalgia into pins! Each pin features icons from the games surrounding an N64 controller themed to the game itself. Some are even with references to special edition controllers!
I'm proud to say one of my best friends, Rexus Illustrations, is my cross collab partner for this campaign! It's an amazing match -- their campaign, Save Files, is focused on PS2 games! Please check out their campaign! If you back both of our campaigns, you'll get two free pins, one from each of us. I personally think my "blow me" pin is kind of everything.
I've got some sweet freebies for you guys with this campaign! Starting with...
A free Kirby Dango Pin for all 3+ Pin Backers! SIKE! Since you all have overfunded this campaign, I'm making the Kirby Dango Pin FREE for EVERY SINGLE BACKER! Consider it a thank you for how much I've accomplished since becoming a pin creator! Please do note that backers to the tip jar/creator support tier will not be eligible for this freebie as you won't have any other physical rewards to ship!
All returning backers from any previous campaign will also recieve a FREE "Clefairy Says Cope" 3" Glitter Sticker!
This sticker is also avaliable for individual purchase via the Add-Ons page.
And, if you back 3+ campaigns from the Game Over Banner (which I organized this year as the Banner Leader!), you'll get a FREE 2" specialty sticker from each creator! My sticker is a holographic Surfing Pikachu!
I expect to receive the funds from this campaign roughly 2 weeks after the campaign ends. At that time, I will send out surveys to see whaT pins, stickers, etc. backers want for their rewards! Once the surveys are in, I will proceed to place the order from my manufacturer. The production and shipping to me should take about 2-3 months.
I will update the blog here when the pins arrive to me, and begin shipping from there to you! I hope to have all orders shipped out by the end of August, but I may be able to get them out sooner, depending on how fast my manufacturer can complete the order! If anything is delayed for any reason, I will let you all know ASAP!
Additionally, please be aware that with the ever-changing landscape with the current tariff situation between China and the US, we may experience unexpected delays. Should something come up that affects this campaign, you the backers will the first to hear about it.

Please note, SHIPPING WILL BE COLLECTED POST CAMPAIGN THRU THE BACKERKIT SURVEY. Your timely response to your survey will be crucial to receiving your rewards. If you do not respond, I cannot guarantee your desired items will be available as I will be ordering quantities of each design based on those responses.
For this campaign, I've enabled Backerkit's Pay Over Time feature! If your pledge is $150 or more (for example: the Nostalgia Final Boss tier is $150), after you select a pledge and go to Checkout, you'll be given the option to pay 4 equal interest-free monthly installments of your pledge total over the course of 4 months.
If you select Pay Over Time, you acknowledge that:
You understand that your rewards will not qualify for shipment until you have paid in full.
You understand that any partial payments made are not eligible for a refund.
You understand that you will not be able to access the pledge manager survey until after you have paid in full.
Please note, this means that Pay Over Time pledges will not be able to answer the pin selection survey until their payment plan is completed and may have a more limited range of options based on the availability of inventory at the time your payment plan is complete.
REMINDER: SHIPPING WILL BECALCULATED AND COLLECTED AFTER THE CAMPAIGN VIA THE PLEDGE MANAGER!
I am a full-time artist and Vtuber! All my life, creativity has been what drives me. I started taking art commissions as a high schooler, studying design, and improving my craft with the dream of one day being able to do art as a proper career. That led to early 2023, when I started my own business, KatzeKreations, and began selling my art at conventions and online! Since then, I've created numerous designs across enamel pins, acrylic charm, hair accessories and more, and sold my work at cons large and small -- including Collect-a-Con Denver, Twin Cities Con, and Anime Iowa. This is my 8th crowdfunding campaign!
Here are some of my previous designs:

Here are some campaigns in Pintopia that I am head over heels for! Whether we're friends or they're an artist I look up to, I hope you'll take some time to look at my favorite campaigns this Pintopia season!
In March, I'm taking part in A Pin of Pride, a new group collab from the folks who run Pintober! My campaign for this is one I'm super excited for: it's my Pokeball mini pins, but this time, with pride flags! I'll also have some new Pokeballs that I have never had as pins as stretch goals.
