Nugget Dragons WIP
Trying to get this sketch knocked out today! I am a little stuck on the tail but I'll figure it out. I will probably flip it so it's facing the same way as the Bao pin.

All surveys are sent
I will just manually deal with these one by one instead of asking backerkit for help again.
I do have the freebies already on hand anyways so I mainly need counts on the ot...
I'm just waiting on any photo updates. I have been sick since Anime Detour ended and need to start a few more of the designs, but I will get that done after taxes at this point just because of the timing.
Still waiting on a revised sample as well for the bearded dragon. I just know there hasn't been an update in a bit. The same manufacturer also has my Frankencorgi pin designs, so I also haven't really had any photo updates for that since the samples.
The nugget dragon still needs a vector (I believe I got the berry one vectored last year) so I will submit those two and the snake to start together once I get the nugget dragon vector caught up. I only have one show this month.
Hopefully there will be some photo updates soon either way so we have something exciting to look at while we wait.
I just finished doing all the frankencorgi stuff so I am working on this while I am on a roll. Kinda missed a few productive days due to migraines/headaches bc my body forever hates me.
Either way this is my focus the rest of this week so I can knock everything for this off my "to finish" list until everything comes in.
If you missed this project entirely, I will have limited preorders on my site sometime this week (hopefully tonight??). I have to get all that stuff listed and proofs checked/approved for production.
I will be so happy once this is caught up and finished. >_<
The Ordering Game Plan I'm ordering a few designs at a time each week until my new products come in (frankencorgi keychains & hair claws) so I actually have something new to sell. Each large pin design is about $1400 each.
So I will start 3 of the large pins this week (I wanted to last night but I fell asleep before my manufacturer responded to me lol) since they take longer and cost more, then probably a few more after Anime Detour at the end of this month. I think the pins I already ordered (the freebies) were about $1800 but I had ordered those last year before falling so behind. The three dragons will take 2 months production.
There are 5 large dragons (Nuggets, Waffle, 3 Sandwiches), 1 large bearded dragon (was planned at 2 inches but had to be increased for details to 3 inches), 9 small sauce pins and 1 small snake.
I would like to note I am reworking the bearded dragon sample so the colors more accurately reflect what I had originally planned so that will probably be the most delayed design of the bunch. I may completely remove transparent syrup and just go with a solid color since it has screenprint anyways.
I will update you guys with photos of all the things as I receive them either way.
Orders In Progress I'm dumb for forgetting this project for so long, but you'll get your pins. I'm working through the orders one by one and setting aside existing add-on/freebie pins & stickers into their respective packages and putting them in a box dedicated to this project. This is more of a note so if you see me selling stuff you understand that it's not your items being sold.
Also definitely realizing I can't sell 3-3.5 inch pins for $15 in future projects. It's just not sustainable. I tried to ignore all the costs of tariffs, shipping increases and pin cost increases but oh well lol. I think it's finally catching up to me now. Boo.
Some Photos Anyways, here are some nonsense photos of freebie pins I took for my website since I made sure I had extras to be able to sell either way.

Updated 3/18/2026:
I decided to change the width of the burger dragons to 3inch instead of the height as a heads up. I want them to be more similarly sized to the existing designs. The Berry Waffles Nebula will be slightly larger (3.2 inches) just to keep his head a comparable size to the other dragons.
Trying to get this sketch knocked out today! I am a little stuck on the tail but I'll figure it out. I will probably flip it so it's facing the same way as the Bao pin.
Just wanted to kinda show what the concept is atm so people could decide if they were interested. I believe you can also go back in and edit your pin selection choice still.
