Project Update: Update on Snawfus Color Variation - Your Input Needed!

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

Good news first.

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!

Now the not ideal news.

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.
