We hope you'll follow along whether it's to shop with us, to see what we have planned for our next BackerKit campaign, or just hang out.
Surveys were locked down and cards have been charged for shipping. A miraculous 100% of y'all have filled out your surveys! However, 6 surveys had card charge failures. If your card failed, please update your information ASAP to guarantee your selections. We will have very few extras and may not be able to fulfill your order if your survey is completed after this point. All designs are already with our manufacturers and have begun production. You can see a few samples in the photo above. Production order numbers are based on survey responses so if you haven't made your selections, make sure you do so you don't miss out.
Additional production updates: Patch production as well as sticker production is complete and they are all in hand.
Thank you again so much for making this campaign such a success. We unlocked so many designs not only during the campaign, but in this post campaign period as well.

There’s all sorts of goodies listed in addition to all the unlocked campaign designs as well as some designs you can help us unlock. (If you pledged to the campaign, you have access to all the items listed in the pre-order store in your survey as add-ons.)

Payment Info
Payments have begun processing for your initial pledge amount. If your payment failed, don't worry! You'll have multiple chances to update your card information before surveys are sent out. You'll also have a chance to update everything in the survey. There will be plenty of opportunities to make sure you get your rewards before the whole project closes for good on February 28, 2026.
What’s next?
Sometime in the next week, you can expect to receive a survey via email where you'll choose which designs you want, provide your shipping address, purchase any additional add-ons, and pay for your shipping fees. We will send out a campaign update when the surveys go out so that you don't miss it.
What will be available in the survey?
We will have all of the pins, stickers, and accessories offered in the campaign for you to add-on to your pledge. The Pre-Order Store will also open when surveys go out for those who missed out on pledging to the campaign. Keep an eye out because we'll have some new goodies available in the survey/pre-order store as well! 💀
Reminder about all free items in any pledge from throughout this project: You must successfully fill out your survey and pay for the final shipping costs to receive your pledge and any free rewards! If you fail to pay for your final shipping costs, you will not receive your rewards.
Need to change your address?
You will be able to change your shipping address up until your survey is closed. After the lock down date, if you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected], and we can manually update your shipping address. Please let us know as soon as possible that you need to update your address so we can change the address before your package is sent. If you fail to notify us of an address change and your package is returned to us, you will incur additional shipping charges before it can be resent. You will receive a last call email for address changes before we start shipping packages.
