Hello Spooky Adventurers,

I hope you all had a wonderful winter holiday! Can't believe we are already in 2026! We just wanted to give a quick update on the production progress of the pins.

After a few back-and-forth sessions with our manufacturer, we have finalized the Pantone colours and artwork for all the pins. The mini filler pins are currently in mass production, and our manufacturer is working on samples for the medium and large pins. Hopefully, we can share some sample photos soon!

We estimate that our pins will be finished in production after the Chinese Lunar New Year Holiday (February 11 - 23). Hopefully, the pins will ship to us by mid-March, and we can fulfill orders by the end of March/early April.

Here is a final look at all the final artworks for the pins:

 

We have decided to use a 3PL (third-party logistics) company within the US for US orders. We will be sending our products to the 3PL company in the US, and the 3PL company will fulfill orders on our behalf within the US. We received initial estimates for US shipping costs from the 3PL company, but the final shipping costs are dependent on the tariff situation at the time of shipment.
 
Once the pins arrive in Canada and we finalize contract details with the 3PL service, we will have a more accurate estimate for shipping fees. At that time, if US shipping costs less than what we charged during this campaign, we will refund US backers the difference. We will provide more updates about the shipping situation closer to the shipment date.

In other news, we will also be launching a new campaign soon for Pintopia 2026 on January 22, 2026, at 10 AM PST! This will be our 8th crowdfunding campaign. Here is a sneak preview of our project. Our collaboration partner for this campaign is Walnut and Clam (please check out her project as well!).
