Part of Early Summerween! A collection of various monster girl hard enamel pins, which will be available exclusively via gacha machine after the campaign! Base goal includes a rework of 2018's Ghoul concept.
Every returning backer receives this bat mini pin:
Dyed soft enamel with epoxy and screenprint!
I resurrected the mold in order to bring it back for this! 🦇
Early bird backers:
Early bird backers receive a 1.5" tall frosted purple acrylic charm of my shop mascot!
For the first time, because I have early bird discount offers: I have the first 2 stretch goals up also, not just the base goal. If we somehow don't make it to the second stretch goal, I will self-fund to make sure those pins are still delivered!
These pins are highly detailed despite their size (averaging around 40mm tall), many of them having glittery pearl accents, color gradients, and the average number of screen print colors being 6 per pin!
Our base goal monster girl is Ghoul, a design originally from around 6 years ago, when I drew the first version of Baphomet as well.
The grey all over ghoul's design - save for the makeup - is recessed metal, not enamel! She will have cavities in her body. The lighter grey pupils are going to be slightly raised metal, but still not flush with the rest of her. The parts of her flame not on her hand are also going to be transparent shimmery enamel, and her hair will be a shimmery pearl glitter enamel.
She will be 39mm tall with 2 print colors.
Please keep in mind that the base goal is so high because it funds 3 pins in total - the returnee freebie bat, Spider Witch, and Ghoul - as well as the earlybird freebie!
Back five projects for physical rewards and receive a spooky pin set! Each pin is designed by one of our participating artists. See the rewards below
Back TWO pins from each project, and receive a second fun pin set! Using the logo designed by our very own Waxwing Cedrorum - each colorway is designed by one of the participating artists.
back back each project for 2 or more pins and receive the above batty pin set!
My spider witch pin will be 37mm tall with 7 screenprint colors and UV printed freckles!
An extra bonus:
As mentioned above, if you pledge to each campaign for a minimum of TWO pins (a total of at least 10), you will also get one of these 1" Early Summerween logo coin-style pins from us! Here is my colorway:
Your new fav yandere elfling! She would love to experiment on you. 💘 This pin is 39mm tall, excluding the additional 3D heart dangle produced by my longtime jewelry manufacturer! Hard enamel with 10 print colors. Pearl glitter syringe liquid.
Zombie (UNLOCKED!)
She constantly loses her fingers and arms, but is surprisingly chill about it. Due to the habit, though, she has been banned from working in the food service industry.
Her pin is 37mm tall, hard enamel with 9 print colors! The fishnet top will be BLACK print, not grey!
Shinigami (v2) (UNLOCKED!)
A slightly-larger redraw of a previously-made design, now at 42mm with several more print and enamel colors. She would happily carry you into the afterlife. Grey lines indicate recessed metal, not grey enamel. 5 print colors.
Baphomet (UNLOCKED!)
Baphy is a redraw of a design that didn't work out a little over 6 years ago! Intended to be playfully flirty initially, she's definitely a lot more intimidating now. Since you broke her shackles, she'll spare you.
I added a lot of new details compared to her past iteration and changed her hair dramatically - it is almost entirely metal. She will be 40mm tall with 7 print colors. Grey-brown lines indicate recessed metal, not enamel. Her "pupils" will glow in the dark!
Rin (UNLOCKED!)
Rin is a precious OC from years ago, a possessed BJD who has a nasty habit of pairing people up with their worst match. She is essentially a reverse-Cupid. This is her first time in pin form. Don't worry, her head can easily reattach! She will be 36mm tall, features pearl glitter in her wings, and with 8 print colors. Grey in her hair stands for recessed metal, not enamel.
Necromancer + Gorgon (Necro unlocks at $5,000, Gorgon unlocks at $5,700)
Are you really sure you know how many skeletons are in the Necromancer's closet? 🖤 Her pin is 42mm tall with 4 print colors. Her hair and cape are going to have pearl glitter - the cape will be black. Grey around the cape accents and inside the halo indicates recessed metal, not enamel. Her inner irises will glow in the dark!
It doesn't seem like they have any intention of biting you, but she might. Careful not to gaze into her eyes too long, or you'll be hers forever.
(Can you imagine trying to brush hair like this? ...)
Gorgon is a freebie for all backers who are getting 5+ monster girl pins in their pledge from my campaign! She is 45mm tall with 13 print colors. She also has a 5-color pearl glitter gradient for her hair, her bow is pearl glitter, and her top is as well. The grey in the snake eyes stands for recessed metal, not enamel. Her top is also going to be BLACK, not dark grey.
She is by far the most expensive to produce out of this entire collection. If she is unlocked: she will be available to purchase individually at $18 during the survey post-campaign, and join the gacha pool only AFTER the campaign is fulfilled!
TV cat (unlocks at $6,350)
TV Cat is from the drippy paw planet (available as a sticker)! Can you tell I'm not very inventive with names? ... She takes her cute cat-head UFO everywhere across the galaxies, easily entertained everywhere she goes. She will be 39mm tall, with hot pink anodized plated metal, and pearl glitter in her paw pads/beans, tv screen, and also the rest of the tv front excluding buttons. Additionally, the "!" is a gradient enamel. The dark hot pink signifies recessed metal, NOT enamel. She will have 4 print colors!
Mummy (unlocks at $6,850)
This shy mummy is holding an Ankh and backed by an Eye of Horus...The Ankh is an Egyptian symbol of eternal life, while the Eye of Horus symbolizes the warding off of evil, healing and regeneration, and eternal knowledge. Basically - no matter what, she'll protect you - after all, you brought her back. 🖤
42mm tall hard enamel with 7 print colors. Her hair will be BLACK with pearl glitter - with a gradient leading to teal tips.
Dullahan (unlocks at $7,300)
In pretty stark contrast to Shinigami, Dullahan takes much more joy in the hunt than what comes after. Are you sure you have what it takes to play with her? Dullahan will be 43mm tall with 2 print colors. Her sleeves will have pearl glitter to resemble nylon stocking material, and the blue display on her helmet will glow in the dark! Please note: The smoke coming from the seal on her neck is BLACK (with shimmery greys) swirly mica enamel. The grey details on her armor, in her hair, on her sword, and in her helmet's "ears" indicate recessed metal, NOT enamel. The navy blue on her hand guards will also be closer to black than it appears on screen. Her mockup was hard to translate with how much black/otherwise dark colors are involved.

I am gradually making the transition to including my name on the border of most of my sticker designs (namely of OC characters), something I've seen other artists do for a long time but never personally considered until theft ballooned out of control with the advancement of AI. Because I've only recently started selling stickers larger than 3", this is mostly visible on those. I hope it isn't off-putting to anyone! The image watermarks (faint text across the whole thing) are a totally different thing and will never be visible on the final product.
So let me open this section with addressing the tariff nightmare (sorry, this is text-heavy!):
These pins are priced higher than my previous campaigns already, but those were mini pins - these are "full-size" pins with complex details and many print colors. The $18 price tag is comparable to other hard enamel pins of around this average sizing, so I didn't want to have to go higher. Thankfully, I don't have to - Backerkit has a new feature in Beta that will allow creators to charge a separate line item via survey that helps us pay the tariff fees.
While I hate putting that on you, the backers, there isn't another way around it without buffering each goal amount by significantly more, making it much harder to unlock the designs.
The tariff situation is volatile and constantly changing, which means that I don't even currently know for certain what % the charge will be by the time I send out surveys.
Timeline should be roughly the same as my previous campaigns - roughly 2-3 months after production begins before I receive them and am able to fully grade them.
This time, because of tariffs, I will need to charge everyone for pledge manager funds before the pins are received.
This means I should be able to start sending them out in September. I will make sure my manufacturer takes their time and doesn't rush any of the details!
Pay Over Time:
Pay over time is enabled! Anyone with pledges over $150 can choose to do this. You won't be sent your survey until all payments are submitted successfully, but you're still considered a backer as long as all go through!
With packages beginning to go out to you presumably in September, hopefully I will be done sending out all packages by (actual) Halloween. That depends entirely on the number of backers and my current health, however. If this winds up funding all girls, for example, that will be a lot of backers! So it would take me longer to fulfill.
The packaging they will be in will vary depending on costs at that time (impacted by tariffs, I'm sure). You can likely expect to receive your package from me in a recycled kraft padded mailer, with pins on backing cards inside sealed paper bags. Shakers have to be shipped in boxes, which generally cost the same on a weight basis but may be heavier than pin packages.
Thank you so much for checking out this campaign! I'd been wanting to do a full-fledged monster girls collection for so, so long, but the time never felt right.
If you want to find me on socials, I'm most active on Bluesky because I'm not a fan of everything Meta has become. I mostly post about my cats and game dev on there (sorry).
