Thank you all for your patience! All pins have arrived. Sorry I don't have any photos yet. Ill get them as soon as all of these are quality checked.
And speaking of quality check, here comes the bad news. It is common for chrome pins to often have problems as the plating process is fairly finicky. My manu is usually pretty good with it, but one in every 5 designs I make often come defective. Azrael unfortunately came with some shoddy plating.
Thankfully they are being remade and so far every remake of chrome I have ever done with my manu has come back near perfect, so we just have to wait a bit longer for them. IDK why they don't just check the plating before shipping when they offer free remaking of these anyway. Especially when remakes are always good in quality. Feel like they would save a lot of time and money if they did...
The other issue is Cassiel. While his plating is fine, unfortunately for some reason the manu used really big rings for the water drops, so they all came crushed. So crushed they also broke some of the glass water drops.
Because of this we are swapping for a different bead.
Its a little bigger than I wanted but honestly...they are a lot prettier. This does mean Cassiel will also be delayed as the new beads will be sent with the remade Azrael AND I will need to swap out all of the beads by hand. Thankfully they already have been in production and I am hoping for them to be done soon in about another week.
Angel Salmon shirts are also almost done. I forgot to take a picture of a finished shirt so you can have the first test print I did before printing on the nice blue tie dye shirts.
I'll be back with a nicer finished photo of that when I'm done with quality testing for the pins and have photos of that too.
That's mostly it for now! Thank you all for your patience!
Pins are on track to be done from the manufacturer sometime next month. For now I have a few progress photos from the manufacturer. Sorry they aren't the best but they came out great!
That's it from me! Next update will be when the pins arrive. Thanks for checking in!
This is just a reminder that all surveys had been sent out prior and they are due next week! If surveys are not filled out on time I will have a hard time ordering accurate numbers of counts, which could delay your shipping of your items, or not receive them at all!
On top of that there are a good handful of people who also still have failed payments. Please keep in mind that these are all reasons why your items could be heavily delayed in shipping when it is time!
If you are missing your survey, you can recover it HERE.
Sorry for the delay. Smoke test surveys looked good so I just sent all the rest of them.
As a reminder, uncompleted surveys and/or surveys with incomplete payments will not receive their rewards! If neither of these things are complete in a reasonable timeframe post campaign you are liable to NOT receive your items at all! So please make sure you do them! If for some reason you have lost your survey, you can find it HERE. Surveys will be due in around 2 weeks so that I can get those final counts and order! Another warning will be made when they are due!
Pre-Order Store and New Items
Pre-order store is now open! So if you missed the campaign you can still get your chance in the pre-order store. Some limited items are still available! You can find the store HERE! On top of that, I have added a few new items for purchase at a discounted price, so please check those out at the end of your survey!
Please do not place an order for any new items in the pre-order store if you have already pledged to the campaign! As stated you can add these via the survey add-on page!
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to email me at[email protected]as it is the fastest way to get in contact with me!
Thank you again for a successful pintopia! As we wind down to the last few days I've added a few last min items I just really wanted to make and offer.
First is the hand screen print shirts from my home studio of my angelic salmon design. These shirts will be printed on blue tie dye shirts with sparkly gold accents. Sleeve will also be printed with an additional graphic as shown. Sizes will be available from small-3XL and will be asked for in the survey post campaign.
Second is my handmade keychain of an angelic fried egg. Around 5.5cm long and comes on a yellow ball chain. Made of durable resin. I made small sculpted keychains as well and the idea just hit me on a sleepless night lol.
Also since the blue flame Dumah statue was so popular and only had 6 spots, I added 2 more!
