As the update title implies - the final rewards for this project have shipped!

So, what is there to do now? Wait, but only for a little longer! In fact, I've seen a fair few packages marked as delivered already.

Because there isn't much left for me to work on via Backer Kit (at least until I embark on another pin campaign), I will not be checking in here regularly. So, if there are any issues with your rewards or you need to get a hold of me for any reason, please reach out via email: [email protected]. I'll offer any assistance/info that I'm able.

Thank you Mytho Menagerie backers for all your support and engagement with this pin project, I couldn't have made these fantastical critters without all of your help, and I hope they bring you as much joy as they bring me!

If you want to keep an eye open for any future projects of mine, you can give me a follow on instagram @Pangolin_Knight for all the most up to date info on my creative projects.

With much appreciation,

Hello Mytho Menagerie backers!

I'm very happy to report that 92% of backer rewards have been delivered to USPS! Due to the Juneteenth Holiday, please expect to start seeing tracking info no sooner than Friday. I will do my very best to have the final 8% of the rewards sent by end of day Friday but I've encountered some issues with purchasing and printing the final handful of orders through Backer kit. If the issue persists, I will purchase labels an alternate platform and manually add tracking information.

Additionally, I'm glad to share that through the purchase of the Mishipeshu and Thunderbird pin designs, we collectively raised $440 for the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center! Thank you!!!

That's all for now,
Katie (Pangolin)

Greetings Mytho Menagerie backers!

This is a short and sweet update - the first 21% of rewards have been delivered to my USPS distribution center! 63 of you should expect to see tracking information sometime soon. 🎉 🎊

I intend to work diligently throughout the week with a goal to get most, if not all, of the remaining orders posted by the 21st... this involves adding backing cards to a few hundred more pins before I can start printing and packaging all of those orders.  

If I run into any unforeseen delays I'll be sure to communicate that to you all ASAP. 

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hello Mytho Menagerie backers, I'm here with some good news & not ideal news!

All the enamel pins were safety delivered to me yesterday afternoon! All 2,427 of them!

This means we are a couple days ahead of schedule and I've already begun counting, sorting, and grading the pins! At the time of posting I only have three designs remaining that need to be graded, which is wild, and I'm fairly determined to power through those tonight so I can spend the rest of the week figuring out an efficient fulfillment plan. All the packaging materials are already on hand, so it's just a matter of printing shipping labels, packing lists, and packing and posting complete orders.

Y'all should have received a notice to check your shipping addresses. Those addresses will lock automatically tomorrow night at 11:30PM MST. So please make sure that all looks correct before then!

I was disappointed to discover while counting and grading the Snawfus design that I was sent 2/3 green and 1/3 blue winged pins.

Is it a subtle difference in hue? Sure, and I don't think either is 'better' or 'worse'. If this pin wasn't part of a crowd funded project I would consider the blue version a limited variant and be very happy with both.

But this is where I need your input.

Due to the facts that I think both colors are pretty, for me it's not worth the impact on the Earth to ship another package, or risk looming intangible tariff increases, extra cost, and extra time... I've made the decision that asking for these pins to be re-re-made is not something I'm willing to do.

I will make my best effort for everyone to get their preferred pledge reward. However, there are only enough blue winged snawfus' to fulfill a little over half of existing orders. 

Please participate in the latest poll to help determine how we proceed.

Thank you so much, again, you all made these pins a reality and I'm excited to get them into your waiting hands ASAP.
