Hello!

All the ita bags, pins, and stickers have arrived!!

Timeline: (based on prior update)

Grading:
Currently all except for one of the enamel pin designs have been graded! I don't foresee any issues with them though, and if there are, I will have enough to fulfill all the pledges. Sadly, I haven't had time to take any pictures of them, but I'll provide another update with pictures for everyone.

For the ita bags, these are taking a lot longer to grade mainly because of the size of them, but they have all arrived and taken over the place haha. Currently, I am anticipating that we will complete grading them by next weekend of the weekend after.

Everyone's address will be locked on October 11th 8 PM PT. Please double check and modify the shipping address prior to that. I will be setting a calendar reminder because I am that forgetful. Fulfillment should be completed by November instead of December, but if there are any changes, I will post another update.

Thank you all for your patience with me!

Edit:
I also know that some people have messaged me directly. I do apologise for not addressing them yet. They will be addressed this week!

Hello everyone!!

Thankfully I'm feeling a lot better and was able to get some sketches done for everyone to vote on!!
Because of how much we're ahead of the project, I'll be automatically unlocking 2 collections as well as putting up a third as a stretch goal!
Please use the google form link to vote for your top 3 favourite designs. There is the potential for more to be unlocked, but I won't be able to have any sketches done until after the backerkit project.

Freebie pin that is automatically unlocked + available to EVERYONE with a physical item being mailed

EU and UK shipping... So, I've had a few people reach out that they would like EU and UK shipping. I am very flattered that people from across the ocean are interested in my creations, however, I won't be offering direct shipping to the EU or UK. I've spoken to some of the other creators, and the only potential option (with some risk) is using a forwarding company. I have not used any of these companies personally, but some of the following companies popped up

If you are not interested in using a forwarding company (completely understandable), I will be posting these on Etsy for the retail price after the campaign is over and fulfilled. I will be honest, I have a pretty bad record of not posting on Etsy because of lack of time. For my UK and EU friends, whenever I do post it on Etsy, please send me a message, so I can provide you a discount code to receive the Backerkit special price with the freebie pin as well. Thank you again for your patience.

With love and care,

Hello!!

I know that I haven't posted any updates and that there are a few people waiting on some remaining pins. They have arrived (looks great ;;). I plan on packing and shipping them out by next week, so please keep an eye out for tracking!

Afterwards, I'll be setting majority of the pledges as fulfilled!

Thank you all for your patience ;u;

Sadly, the pins are under inspection… I don’t foresee any issues with them because 1. No copyrighted materials and  2. Everything is declared. It just means that it will take longer than anticipated for them to arrive… but once they arrive, I will fulfill the remaining pledges :) I DID NOT FORGET ABOUT YOU GUYS!!

This is also one reason that I rarely design pins of characters from certain series… it is just too much of a risk for my heart to handle.

Other news, my freshwater pins are all funded!!! So if you considered a design before or wanted to suggest a particular species, you can do so now :3
