Project Update: Where things are right now (Pintober remakes are still not done)
Hello,
I'm seeing some confusion over where things are with my Pintober campaign as well as this one. Frankly, I'm unsure why, as I update frequently compared to most crowdfunds and am extremely transparent. Probably overly so.
However, I will keep this one shorter: the Pintober backers have been waiting a long time because that order had an even worse flaw rate than this order. I have made it very, very clear to them that I am trying my best to get that fixed - and I did tell you all that despite my reservations and guilt about it, I ethically prefer to fulfill my campaigns in chronological order.
However, because some haven't been reading my updates and did not contact me directly regarding this issue but instead went above me, it appears there's been some sort of misunderstanding.
I am genuinely doing my best. This is also not an excuse, but the reality: I am profoundly chronically ill. I can only do so much at one time, and I mentioned this in the fulfillment timeline portion of the campaign. I can only request your patience and understanding, I would never demand it.
While I am still waiting on the moths in which quality and quantity is lacking for campaign fulfillment, and I do feel bad about not immediately sending out the paws upon receipt of them, the only paws I'm bringing to Colossalcon are seconds pins to try to recoup what I will be charged in tariffs on these remakes. The pins being "free" remakes does not mean I don't have to pay approximately $70 per box of remakes in shipping costs as well as whatever tariffs I am charged. The timeline I laid out in this campaign was anticipated fulfillment in Summer of 2025. So we are not yet behind. May is technically still Spring.
I will make a similar update to the moths campaign in a few hours as to not overlap too closely. Anyone still waiting for their moths who has fulfillable paws in their order will have them shipped together and 1 shipping fee refunded.
I truly appreciate your support. Any firmness coming across through my tone is just me being more frank than usual.
Thank you.
