Project Update: πŸ‘€ Final Enamel Pin Sneak Peeks + Production Update πŸ‘€

Hello again, fellow lovers of fungi!

I've been swamped lately and took a bit longer than intended pushing out this update, but I'm excited to once again share fresh new pics of the remaining finished pins πŸ˜†πŸ™Œ Check out all these shiny lil Shroomies!



Do you have a new favorite?! 🀩

πŸ„ Mushroom Plushie πŸ„


By golly, were the polls insanely close once again, but a final decision has been made! In case you haven't already looked at the poll results on your own, here's our official winner:



Thank you to everyone who participated in the multiple rounds of deciding fabric color for this little guy! πŸ˜… It really was a neck-and-neck race, but ultimately, I'm happy that we stuck with the color of the original design / artwork and kept with the initial vision. The bright red is super classic and fun, and if I do a second production run of this mini Shroomie in the future, I'll likely produce the brighter version next :) For now though, I hope you all enjoy the deep rich burgundy (that will also match the freebie holo sticker that comes with the plushie), and cherish your squishy new shroom friend for years to come!

πŸ“¦ Production / Shipping Update πŸ“¦


✦ Plushies: All of the blue Shroomie plushies have successfully finished production and have been completed for a little while. We're just waiting for the mini burgundy Shroomie plushies to finish so that everything can ship together. πŸ‘ I confirmed the final fabric color for the mini plushie as soon as the last vote closed, so their production has already been well underway by now, and shouldn't take much longer to wrap up. Once these little guys are done, then all of the plushies will make their voyage to my doorstep and get ready for order fulfillment :)



✦ Enamel Pins: All enamel pins are finishedβ€”woohoooo!! And since I was a bit slow in posting this update, I actually get to report that not only are the pins done, but they just showed up in the mail yesterday and are all safe and sound with me now! πŸŽ‰ They look even better in person too. I truly cannot wait for each of you to hold your shiny new Shroomies in-hand soon.

With everything else ready to go (stickers, shipping material, etc.), it's just a matter of waiting on the plushies to arrive, and then order fulfilment will begin! I'll of course send another update or two before your orders start getting packed up, as we'll need to finalize / lock down shipping addresses and charge cards for all outstanding balances. I'll wait until we get just a little bit closer before pushing out the address lock and payment charge, but if you'd like to stay on top of things and be an extra-awesome person, please double check your shipping address and linked payment method now, and kindly ensure that everything is correct and good to go.

πŸ‘‰ How to Check / Edit your Order: 


Simply log into BackerKit > click your profile icon in the top right corner > click "Your Pledges & Surveys" > find and click "Shroomie Shoppe" from the list > then find the "Edit payment or address" link in the top right.

πŸ’Έ Tariff Update πŸ’Έ


Short & sweet good news: Both of my manufacturers have been gracious enough to cover the tariff fees, so I'm happy to say that we'll be unaffected by extra tariff costs :) What a huge relief!



⭐ Backing Cards for Pins? ⭐


To conclude this update, I have a question and new poll for you all: do you want backing cards for the enamel pins? I've always hand-packed every single pin on a card back, mostly because I love pretty packaging and have always adored the extra presentation that card backs give to pins. However, it is a HUGE time consumer to unwrap and pierce every individual pin. And admittedly, the extra packaging does feel pretty wasteful, since I know most people likely don't keep the cards.

So I'd like to know from you guys, is having your pins packaged on cards backs an important factor for you? Or would it be all the same if they were delivered in their default plastic bags from the manufacturer?

πŸ‘‡ Vote below: πŸ‘‡



We're getting closer and closer to fulfilment every day now! Which item(s) are you most excited to receive in the mail? 🀩

Thank you a MILLION times over again for your continued support and for following along through the process. I look forward to updating you again when the plushies come in :)
