So, the ultimate update everyone wants: we have photos of finished CRITTER CRIMES pins from the factory. They came in early yesterday morning.
Peep these!
All of our pins, except for the Pastel Cockatiel PRIDE PARROTS, are complete and prepped for shipping. They're going to leave China early next week.
Now, that being said, I gotta bring up our last update: we are looking at potential delays because of world politics. I'm hoping these guys get in before Anthrocon, but with shipping and customs, it could be really close.
We are 50/50 on having CRITTER CRIMES and PRIDE PARROTS for in-person sales, and they will absolutely not fulfill before mid July.
I'm gonna play it by ear, and if we get things in before June 2nd, I'll offer Anthrocon pickup as an option for people who'll be there. I am expecting local pickups to be ready for a July 26th event in Rochester, and if you're interested in that, email me for details. More CUSTOM CRIMES sketches went out this afternoon. I got through 6 today: is one of them yours? Go check your BackerKit email and see if you (finally) got a response from me.
Other than that, it's badge crunch and on prep time. See you all when I know when the pins are coming in!
