Hi all,

The cookie badges have arrived and are all sorted!
Here is how the 2 new colorways look.

They arrived before tariffs kicked in but I had a snafu with the lenticular keychains I self-funded in the same order arriving damaged, and had a back and forth with the manu. I wanted to see how that resolved - aka my likelihood of ever being able to restock these badges or not - before posting the final reveal. Thankfully, that worked out in my favor, so if I ever need to reorder these cookie badges I can. And they were great quality!

All ordered badges have been reserved already/sorted out. However, I realized very belatedly that I don't have any kind of signature on these, so I put a small name stamp (a transfer sticker) on the backs of all of these button badges. That will not impede the function in any way.

I also want to share this info I accidentally omitted from the last update about the pin flaws:
 
I've been referring to the epoxy coverage flaw as "shrinkage" because the epoxy doesn't go all the way to the edges in random spots. Sometimes these spots that are uncovered are absolutely massive, which are the pins I considered as seconds. It makes the pins lumpy and the way they reflect light is completely non-uniform as a result.

This can happen to a degree even with attempts to solve it because surface tension is occasionally fickle, but in this case it's pretty clear they globbed the epoxy on and just kind of hoped it would even itself out, it may have even been too partially-cured to do so given how thick it is. So I am not comfortable letting those pins represent the kind of quality I'd be okay passing off as standards, when it is clear from 2/3 of the order being fine that this is actually avoidable - which is why I graded those as seconds. There's also a couple colorways with a significant amount of print misalignment (calico and siamese) or dust in the epoxy (donut's paw and a couple others), so there is that as well.

The rep wouldn't have agreed to remakes if she didn't agree from the videos I sent that this was a significant issue, which took me a few hours to record as I sorted through all several-hundred seconds pins again a second time beforehand. If I were to send any of these out I would feel an obligation to refund the difference ($7 for seconds grade pins) and I simply can't afford to, I'm sorry.

They will arrive before production begins for the monster girls, at least...so, at this point I'm guessing that means 2-3 weeks from now.

Lastly, here is a pic of 1 standard grade per each colorway. I don't have updated graphics finished yet for the gacha signs themselves since I won't be using them in machines in person for a while.

I will update again soon once I have more news on remakes! Please read my previous update if you have questions about fulfillment timeline!
