Hello Adventurers,

We hope everyone is having a fabulous week! We have been working with our manufacturer to ensure a smooth start to production. Here are a few updates:

After reviewing each pin design with our manufacturer, we wanted to share a few changes:

1. Changes to the Magic Dagger Pin:

Due to a spacing issue, the magic dagger pin will only have one backing post. We wanted to have two backing posts, but our manufacturer recommended using only one since it would be difficult to attach a second post with the limited space.

What is a backing post? A backing post is a pointed needle on the backside of pins that helps attach pins to clothing, bags, etc. Here is a photo provided by our manufacturer (the image on the far right shows the placement of the backing post):

2. Changes to the Bottle of Mermaid Tears Pin (Dark Red Variant):

For those who added the pre-order item, the Bottle of Mermaid Tears Pin (Dark Red Variant), to their pledge, we needed to change the design to create more space for cut-outs and clear enamel. Here is a comparison image of the previous design to the new design.

Key Changes: 

The pin size has increased from 1.25 inches to 1.325 inches, screen printing has been added for shine and sparkle details (screenprinting will be applied on top of the clear enamel), and the glass bottle part of the design has been increased in size to create more space for cut-outs and clear enamel application. We tried our best to keep the overall look of the pin the same. 

All completed surveys are locked, and we have charged cards! Please double-check that your payment methods are up-to-date and correct. Your bank may also need to verify the purchases, so please check your emails for verification requests. Thank you!

If you are a Backer who opted for the Pay-Over-Time option, you will receive your survey once the balance is paid in full. Don't worry! We ordered extra pins for each design to fulfill everyone's orders during fulfillment.

If you have not completed your survey yet, you can still submit your survey. Only completed surveys are locked so far. We kindly ask that you submit your surveys at your earliest convenience. We cannot ship your rewards without your survey response. 

If you need assistance with finding your survey, please message us on Backerkit or email us at mochiville.collective@gmail.com.

Just a reminder that the pre-order store will close on March 30th at 11:59 PM EST!

Hello Adventurers!

We hope everyone has been having a great week! Our manufacturer has sent us some production photos. Here are photos of the samples made of the Luna Moth Sword Pin (Backerkit Exclusive Variant) and the Wizard's Grimoire Pin (Dark Red Variant). So far they look great and we're super excited to see the rest of the pin samples!

Our manufacturer has mentioned that the space for a cut-out between the bird's feet is rather small. They will try their best to create a cut-out between the bird's feet, but if they cannot create clean cut-outs, they will use recessed metal instead!

Lastly, just a reminder that the pre-order store will close today (March 30th at 11:59 PM EST)!

This will be the last chance to get pins from our new pin collection at a discounted price! The Backerkit campaign incentives and freebies are excluded from pre-order purchases. Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered so far!

Hello Adventurers,

We hope everyone had a great weekend so far! We just wanted to share some progress on the magic potions art print! After browsing a vintage botanical illustration book over the weekend, we got inspired to name the potions and design the print similar to a vintage scientific illustration! Each potion has a unique property that can hopefully be useful for adventurers!

The print will be 5 x7 inches in size. We will post another update once the artwork for the art print is finalized!

Lastly, we have created another poll! We would like some feedback on the Crystal Forest Staff Pin. Although we love the current design, we wondered if it could be improved to look more cohesive with the rest of the collection.

In the new design, the overall look of the pin is the same as the original, but with some subtle changes. We added more details to the ribbons, changed some of the fracture lines in the crystal, and adjusted some of the curves in the vines and leaves. We are hoping the new design looks more detailed and balanced. Of course, we would like to hear your opinions and help us decide. Please feel free to vote on whether we should keep the original design or use the new one. All the voting polls can be found here.

Hopefully, this will be the last poll about design changes before production! Voting polls will be closed on March 8th and we will post an update on the results.
