Good evening, gang!

So, pins are still in production, and after the eyebrow situation, I have asked the factory to check in with me a little bit more often. They have been doing so, and offering additional photos in separate lighting to make sure colors are correct.

Pin manufacturers - even the best of them - have a habit of taking sample photos with a SpongeBob disposable camera in the 5th level of the Backrooms. Colors are often wildly off from how they appear in-person.

My art style allows for some leeway in colors, as long as the idea of the pin stays intact. I allow some wiggle room as long as contrasts stay roughly the same and a pin still reads as its designated critter. But, sometimes, it pays to make sure, and we have a situation like that here.

Our KOBOLD pin turned out much darker than intended.

A fellow, very kobold-savvy artist let me know that this color series can have this problem. It often turns out darker than intended, and it may not necessarily be a manufacturer error.

This result is different enough from the intended ugly-cute anemic pink shown in the artwork to be an issue. I know you kobold crew are very passionate people, and any issues with this design could anger a vocal minority that could bite my ankles and throw rocks at my face.

Due to costs, and inconvenience, and all that shit, I'm not heart set on remakes... yet. I'd like to hear from you.

If you backed for the kobold pin... do you think he needs a redo? Do you still like him after a little too long in the tanning booth?

HUSTLE veterans know I usually offer some options when things don't go right, and this is no different. Store credit, extra free B-grades, or waiting for a full replacement of the medium rare kobold could be on the table here. 

Comments, suggestions, and desired outcomes are welcome. Let me know what you're thinking as soon as possible.
