Hello Mytho Menagerie backers!

Here is a very quick update on the state of this project.

Card Errors:
There were some number of errored card payments when cards were charged for add ons and shipping costs - please check to see that your cards are up to date before I attempt charging those errored cards again on Monday May 12th.

Progress Update:
I've been quietly working behind the scenes getting all of the manufacturing orders submitted.

I'm happy to report that manufacturing for the enamel pins and add on stickers have been paid for and manufacturing is underway. I will share any production photos as they become available, but for now all there is to do, is wait. (It's the hardest part for me!)

At the moment, no news is good news, and I look forward to sharing any photos with you in the next few weeks.

Take care all, and thank you for your support!
-Kate (Pangolin)

P.S.
For any peeps out there who are interested in stats, here were the three most popular enamel pin designs!

#3: Cactus Cat (89 ordered)

#2: Kelpie (93 ordered)

#1: Celestial Jackalope Skeleton (111 ordered)

Hello Mytho Menagerie backers!

Just a quick and final reminder: Surveys will officially lock at 8PM MST tonight (Friday, April 25, 2025).

UK/EU Backers: If you're unable to complete your survey due to shipping limitations, please email me ASAP so I can set up a custom Etsy listing for you to collect shipping and fulfill your rewards once the pins are all ready to ship.

Thank you so much for your support and attention!

With gratitude,
Katie (Pangolin)

Hey everyone!

I’ve got a quick update on where things stand with the Mytho Menagerie Enamel Pin Campaign.

91% of Surveys Are In—Thank You!
If you’ve already filled out your survey, you’re amazing—thank you!
If you haven’t completed it yet, you're still amazing, but please do so ASAP so you don't miss out on your backer rewards!

Surveys Lock This Friday (4/25/25)
Please make sure you’ve selected and finalized your enamel pin picks and any add ons before Friday!
Important: Your shipping address will not be locked on Friday—so you’ll still be able to update that later if needed.

Speaking of add ons, here is a look at the foil skeleton stickers which arrived recently! I think they are the prettiest stickers I've ever made- truly gorgeous in person... I don't think the photo does them justice.

If you or a friend missed out on the initial funding- the pre-order shop is still open until 7pm MST on the 24th!

Cards Will Be Charged Next Monday (4/28/25)
Double-check your payment info in BackerKit to make sure everything’s good to go! I don’t want anyone to miss out on their rewards due to a card hiccup.

Production Is Kicking Off!
I’ve finalized the order numbers with my manufacturer and will (hopefully!) be sending payment tonight. Once production begins, I’ll share updates and progress pics as I receive them—so keep an eye out for those!

Shipping Timeline
Please note: it may take a bit longer than usual for the pins to ship from my manufacturer to me here in the U.S. I’ll keep you posted the moment they arrive so you know when I start sorting and mailing everything out to you!

Thank you all again for supporting this project—it truly means the world to me. I can’t wait to get these shiny little mythic creatures into your hands soon.

That's all for now,
Katie (Pangolin)

Hello all!

77% of backers have completed their surveys — thank you so much!

That said, there are still 68 of you who haven’t filled yours out yet. If that’s you, please take a moment to complete your survey ASAP. Surveys are mandatory to receive your rewards, so don’t miss out! If you can’t find your survey, you can recover it here.

Surveys will close and lock on Friday, April 25th, & cards will be charged on Monday, April 28th.
I’ll be sending out a final reminder 48 hours before the deadline so you can double-check everything, especially your mailing address. If you move or need to update your shipping info after surveys are locked, no worries! Just email me at [email protected], and I’ll help you update your info.

Please note: Once surveys are locked, I am unable to cancel/refund any pledges or payments. Please make sure everything is correct before the deadline!

Thank you so much for supporting this project! Unfortunately, I’m unable to ship directly to the UK and EU addresses through this campaign platform. If you're experiencing issues completing your survey because of shipping restrictions, please email me at [email protected]. Once the pins arrive and I'm ready to ship, I’ll create a custom Etsy listing for you so you can still receive your rewards.

Thanks again for being part of this journey. I’m so excited to get these pins into your hands!

Thank you again!
Katie (Pangolin)

Hey everyone, I hope you're all having a restful weekend!

I’ve got a few important updates for you — please read through so you don’t miss anything!

LAST CHANCE TO FIX PAYMENTS
There’s still about $900 in failed payments — if your payment didn’t go through, you have until Monday, April 14th to update your info in BackerKit.
Please don’t miss out on your campaign rewards — update your payment info ASAP!

SURVEY SMOKE TEST STARTS MONDAY
What’s a smoke test? It’s when a small percentage of surveys are sent out first to catch any errors before the full send. I’ll be starting that on Monday, so keep an eye on your inboxes next week for your survey!

SURVEY = GET YOUR REWARDS
It’s critical that you fill out your survey as soon as you get it. This is how I’ll know:

Filling out your survey is required to receive your rewards. If you don’t complete it, your pledge will be considered a donation, and your rewards will be forfeited.

TARIFF FALLOUT & OPTIONAL TIP JAR
With tariffs changing constantly (currently sitting at a brutal 145%), this has become an extremely challenging environment for small creators. I’m committed to making sure your pins are produced and delivered, no matter what.

That said, if you’re able and feel inclined, I’ve added a "Tariff Tip Jar" add-on in BackerKit. This is 100% optional, and any support there goes directly toward helping cover these unexpected costs.

Whether or not you can contribute — please know that I deeply appreciate each and every one of you. You’ve made this project possible. 

Thank you again for your support, your patience, and your kindness throughout this whole campaign. You're all amazing!
