Hello campaign followers and backers; extras from the campaign are finally listed on Shopify and Etsy. My Shopify prices are a little lower than Etsy prices due to lower fees; Etsy is recommended only if you are an EU/UK buyer because it will handle VAT for you.
If you are a backer, check the backers-only section for a coupon to get the leftovers at a discount.
If you're looking for guest artist items, you can check their shops or social media.
Also just another reminder for those of you who ordered keychains, please note the keychains come with a protective film that needs to be peeled off.
One last reminder about some upcoming campaigns:
My next campaign after Pride Angels will be Blood and Holy Water, it will feature vampire and angel pins. It is expected to launch on Halloween.
My final campaign Themed Monster Enamel Pins will be next year, but you can follow the pre-launch page now. It will feature monsters themed in different aesthetics.
I hope you'll consider pledging to my campaigns again, and thank you for supporting Angelology IV!
Hi there backers, quick update for you all. Except for a handful of stragglers, all the rewards have been shipped out.
It should take 1-2 weeks for domestic (USA) shipments to arrive and 4-6 weeks for international shipments, but possibly longer due to shipping delays. Your tracking information is available through Backerkit.
For those of you who ordered keychains, please note the keychains come with a protective film that needs to be peeled off.
Please contact Backerkit supportif there are any issues with your rewards, I can accommodate replacements or exchanges if needed. They will forward your message to me. Please do not message me on social media or comment on the campaign page, if you do that I may miss your message.
I graded and packed everything myself, so there is a non-zero chance of human error. I'd appreciate if you let me know if you catch anything wrong with your pins; or ideally, that they're up to the usual standard and you're happy with them!
For anyone who has not yet filled out the survey or had other issues with their order, I have reached out via your Backerkit email. If I do not hear back from you, you may not receive rewards. So please reply or fill out your survey when you get a chance.
I'm planning to list extras in my shop in about three weeks, to ensure no shipments need to be corrected, exchanged, or replaced.
Finally, I wanted to highlight my upcoming campaigns:
Pride Angels has completed its crowdfunding stage but preordersare open if you missed the campaign.
My next campaign after Pride Angels will be Blood and Holy Water, it will feature vampire and angel pins. It is expected to launch on Halloween!
My final campaign Themed Monster Enamel Pins will be next year, but you can follow the pre-launch page now. It will feature monsters themed in different aesthetics.
Thank you for supporting Angelology IV, and I hope to see you again in the next campaign!
Hello backers, I have graded all the pins and finally have pin photos for you all!
But before those, some reminders: you should have received an email from Backerkit about your surveys. These have been unlocked, and will be locked again in 48 hours.
If you change your selections at this time or have not yet submitted your survey, and there are an insufficient number of pins to cover your selections, your pledge may be delayed. We are especially low on extras of the following pins in standard grade:
Tattoo Seraph (Glitter)
Stigmata
Lae'zel
Astarion
Red Wolf (Sunset)
African Wild Dog (Pastel)
Wyll
Tattoo Seraph
Oath of the Drowned
If I cannot fulfill your order, I will email you to inquire if you would prefer delaying your shipment for a few months, while additional pins are made; would like to select a different pin; or would be satisfied with a seconds grade pin instead. Please make sure you can access your Backerkit email.
Once surveys are locked again I will charge cards for anyone who purchased addons, and addresses will be locked as well. Be sure to check your payment information and shipping address are correct. If you lost your survey, you can recover it here.
Now that the pins are graded, a few notes for you all:
Just a reminder that the Astarion and Lae'zel pins are mixed grade, and have different backing cards from the other pins. As of right now I have enough A-grade pins for everyone who ordered them, but if you submitted a late survey or change your selection you may receive a B-grade pin.
The rainbow plated pins have unique plating for each pin, colors may differ from what is shown in the pictures and video.
The pins with screen-printing (in particular the Starry Squid and Dandelion Angel pins) may have printing that goes onto the metal or edges of the pin a little bit. Since this is present in most of the pins and can't be avoided it will not be considered a flaw, if it bothers you please select a different pin.
The chrome plated pins, in particular the Stigmata pin, may have tint in the enamel due to the plating.
If you would like more information on my pin grading system, please see myAbout Page & FAQ.
And now without further ado, here are all the pins.
I've also posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action. Astarion and Lae'zel have been posted separately, you can find them on Instagram, Tiktok, and Tumblras well.
Once you receive your package, feel free to contact Backerkit support if there are any issues with your rewards. They will forward your message to me. I can accommodate replacements or exchanges if needed. Please do not message me on social media or comment on the campaign page, if you do that I may miss your message.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments. I'll be back with another update to let you know when the pins have all shipped out to you.
Hello backers, I have another update for you all: the pins have arrived and I am in the process of grading them. There are a lot of pins so it may take me a bit to get through all of them. I will send another update with photos once all the pins are graded. You can find my pin grading policy in my About Page/FAQ, I have also copied the current version below if you have trouble accessing that link.
For now, I've posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action. Astarion and Lae'zel have already been posted separately, you can find them on Instagram, Tiktok, and Tumblras well.
While you're waiting, now is a great time to review your survey to make sure your address and payment information is correct. If you lost your survey, you can recover it here.
That's all for this update, as always leave me a comment if you have any questions.
Pin Grading Policy
I sell pins as “standard” or “seconds” grade.
Standard grade pins may have one or two tiny imperfections. These would be considered A grade. My general rule is, if a pin can be held at half-arm’s length and I cannot see the flaw, it is considered small enough for standard grade. Pins are handmade products so please do not expect a flawless item.
Seconds grade pins have more noticeable flaws, including but not limited to: smudges, specks or bubbles in the enamel, under-filled or over-filled enamel, chips or dents in metal and metal-plating, heavy tarnish, missing or mis-colored enamel, loose pin posts, fused metal, missing metal, missing varnish, uneven linework, bends, and/or scratches. Moving pins that are tough to move are considered seconds grade: for example, a spinning pin with a spinner component that does not spin freely. Seconds pins may not come with backing cards. These pins would be considered B/C grade.
I do not sell or guarantee collector’s grade (S grade) pins! Do not purchase from me if you would not be satisfied with an A grade pin.
My stockists may sell mixed grade pins for certain listings: a mix of standard and seconds grade, so A/B/C grade. Or they may sell only seconds grade pins. Please read the listing descriptions carefully.
Rainbow anodized plating is unique for every pin - no two are alike with differing metal colors. The plating may appear different than the example images shown in the listing.
Anodized and chrome plating is unique for every pin. Texture and variation in plating should be expected. The plating may appear slightly different than the example images shown in the listing, for example it may be slightly lighter or darker. White enamel on this plating may be tinted, this will not be considered a flaw.
Soft enamel with epoxy pins may have minor blemishes, bubbles, or specks in the epoxy. Small areas may not have epoxy. The surface may have variation, texture, or bumps, unlike hard enamel. There may be bits of glitter in non-glitter portions of the pin. Transparent enamel may also have these traits. Since these are unavoidable they will not be considered flaws for the purposes of grading. Epoxy overflow will not be considered a flaw as well since this is also unavoidable in some cases.
Certain plating is prone to tarnish, especially copper, silver, and rose gold plating. I will try my best to sort heavily-tarnished pins as seconds grade, but please note some tarnish may be unavoidable or develop over time if the pin is exposed to moisture and in these cases will be considered standard grade. This tarnish can be removed by gentle polishing with a jewelry cloth.
Hello backers and followers, I got news from the manufacturer that the pins are ready to ship to me! It should take 2-3 weeks for the pins to reach me once they ship, assuming there's no shipping delays. After that it'll be another 1-2 weeks while I grade the pins.
Once I have the pins graded, I will send an update with all the pin photos, and surveys will be unlocked for 48 hours if you’d like to make any last-minute changes to your selections. Just a reminder: if you change your selections at this time, and there are an insufficient number of pins to cover your new selections, your pledge may be delayed further.
Pin grading entails sorting the pins as standard (one or two minor flaws) or seconds (more noticeable flaws). All campaign backers will receive standard grade pins; except for pins marked as mixed grade, though you will still get the best of the batch. You can find my pin grading policy in my About Page/FAQ. If there are serious issues with any of the batches I will let you all know.
Finally, if you're a backer check out the backers-only section below for some more photos of the pins from the manufacturer!
Thank you all very much for your patience, I hope you all love your pins once you receive them. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments.
