You guys getting some nice weather where you're at? We hit the mid 50s today. It's a shame I can't go outside.
Based on our budget surplus, and backer comments, I've added two more pins to the campaign to bring in some more backers in the last couple days.
The Power grid sabotage Squirrel might have lost the vote, but, he won a spot in my heart (and profitable pin order). He's joined by the Indecent exposure Hyena.
The squirrel was our second-place in the 10k backer vote. Due to a low voter turnout, and, frankly, the fact I think the squirrel is funny, I'm adding him anyway.
Backers never got the chance to vote on the hyena, and I am happy to pay for her (semi) out of pocket because she'll sell well in in-person retail. But, if you want to snag her before I make my way to a convention near you, she'll be an option in the surveys.
In some more good news, our wrap-up giveaway hit a milestone: with 250 backers, our winners' prizes have been upgraded! When the time comes, on 3/12, three lucky fucks will now receive:
A grand prize winner will get 10 pins + 15 mugshots of choice
A 2nd place winner will get 8 pins + 8 mugshots of choice
A 3rd place winner will get 5 pins + 8 mugshots
If you guys get my bsky account to 1.5k followers by the 12th, I'll pick one more winner for each prize tier. WE're about 600 short, but, if you guys really put in the work, maybe we can do it! You can follow that account, and enter the giveaway, here.
I'm going to go grab dinner and a shower, but I'll be spending the evening getting the pledge manager set up.
