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.

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.
