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!
