What A Start!!!
Hey everyone!
Thank you for such a strong start! I wasn't able to advertise this one as much as previous campaigns so I was amazed at the strong turn out!
We still have 2...
I just set up my Anime Expo table and am ready to go for a very long week, but I wanted to make sure to tell you all thank you very much for a great campaign!! We ended up breaking 11k at the very end!
Surveys should be out in a couple weeks - I have this show to do and then I'm moving into another temporary housing arrangement the next week.
Please check the timeline in the campaign story for important dates!
Catch you later in the next update with more specific survey information, and cheers!

First, some design edits!
Here's Suzaku! I fixed a mistake - the words on the swords was always supposed to be white. Oops!
Next is Seiryu! Folks were concerned about the text and since my manufacturer's black enamel tends to be on the light side I decided to just make the text screen-printed.
And finally, Oni! I felt something was missing with this design so I added some metal flair to the pants. Already a huge improvement! It's a little hard to see here, but the effect will be very neat when light shines on it, kind of like iridescent fabric that has become popular with Asian street wear.
Last, since we are so very close to 9k and could still reach 10k, I wanted to show off what the collar pins would look like! I'm starting it off with one of my identities - AroAce! These collar pins will be: - 1.5" tall - Gold plating - Screenprinting - 2 backing posts with butterfly clasps - A combination 5" + 6" chain that connects to the backing posts
I've done a 4" + 5" chain for collar pins in the past but it always didn't feel quite long enough, so I think the extra inch will be perfect.
Flags I'm planning to do so far: - Agender - Aromantic - AroAce - Asexual - Bisexual - Gay - Genderfluid - Genderqueer - Lesbian - Non Binary - Pansexual - Polyamory (the new one) - Transgender
I would love to do more eventually, but I'm already pushing it with offering up 13 new designs at the 10k mark.
What other flags would you like seen on the sword collar pins? Please let me know - I might add it to the post campaign add-ons!
And remember - these collar pins unlock ONLY if we reach 10k during the campaign!!!
Thanks again for a great first chunk of the campaign! As promised, here are the rest of the main designs:

Seiryu
I also added some previously made pins to the add ons section! I will likely add some more pop culture swords that haven’t been made yet to the add ons section either during the campaign or for the surveys afterwards.
Also! If we reach 10k, I’m doing pride flag sword collar pins!
Also also, I might add one more main pin to this set (to close out the main Chinese constellations since I have 3 out of 4 here) so I might do a poll later to see what people are feeling for that.
I realize it only applies to the all-in tiers, or folks who buy a lot of duplicates/many items, but given all the amazing campaigns lately, some folks may be stretched a bit thin. If not, I totally understand.
