Hey there followers and backers! I have our first campaign update for you. Since we're close to funding the Throne Pin I decided to unlock it early - so I'm happy to share that the plush and all five initial pin goals have been funded. Here's a recap of the funded campaign items: A big thank you to all of you who have shared and supported the campaign! We have 20 days until the campaign ends.
Plush Sample
The final plush sample is still in transit to me but I wanted to share some pictures from the manufacturer with you all. I'm mostly happy with this sample though I'm planning to double-check the colors in sunlight, in particular I may change the outline embroidery to a lighter color. Let me know what you think in the comments, if there's a significant majority asking for a change to it I'll be sure to take that into account.
Cross-Collab Freebies
Don't forget to check out our partnered campaign FALLEN ANGELS Enamel Pins. If you pledge to both campaigns you'll receive a pair of cross-collaboration freebie pins. And if you're looking for even more pins, check out the rest of the Angels & Demons campaigns! If you pledge to three or more campaigns you'll receive the exclusive Sun Wolf holographic sticker from this campaign.
New Stretch Goals
Thank you to everyone who voted for stretch goals! I have added Wolf Knight, Comet Angel, and Star Seraph to the campaign as stretch goals, all three pins will unlock at $8000. Be sure to suggest and vote for more goals on the discussion post, I may add a few more before the end of the campaign - feel free to be creative with your suggestions, I'd be happy to make an entirely new design from scratch if the idea for it is popular enough.
Pins I Love
Finally, I wanted to share some pins from the other Pintopia campaigns that I really love. If any of these interest you I hope you'll check out the associated campaign - just click on each image to check them out. I'll be back with another update at the end of Week Two. Have a great rest of your weekend!
First of all I have to share pins from our partnered campaign, FALLEN ANGELS! I absolutely love Sky Guardian, and I'm so excited to have Hellhound as a companion for this campaign's Cerberus Cherub. There's also some amazing guest designs that have been funded!
Next up are some lovely ladies and a handsome gentleman: Death from Love, Death, and Monster Girls; Miss Foxglove from Shadow and Brass; and Black Hole from Celestial Incarnations. I'm looking forward to adding these to my collection of monster pins.
More angel pins! It's so hard to pick one pin from Earthly Angels and Angelus Astronomica so I present to you two pins from each of these campaigns. I am a huge geology nerd so I have to show off Minerale, I also love Fauna. And Star Globe and Halo are so beautiful as well!
I love the Sea Serpent Siren from Extinct Mermaids, and Twilight Star from Mythic Pins. The squiggly serpent shapes are very satisfying to me.
I love the colors on the Flower Jack pin, and check out the collab pins for Wispwood and Where the Garden Glows! They're so cute and cozy.
I'm a fan of flails and I'm so happy to see one featured in Celestial Armory. Also check out this stunning Comet pin from Cats Among the Cosmos!
I couldn't pick one colorway of this design from Elemental Myth so I will share both - this design has such awesome flow, I love the wings and flames.
I love the colors and pose of the Jackelopterus pin from Ancient Arthropods. I also love the spooky cyberpunk vibes of Virus from Cyberpunk Animals, if you collected any of my Cyberpunk Monsters pins I think Virus would make an excellent companion to them!
I love all the designs in Choir Critters but especially Purrincipality and the Early Bird pin!
Canis Major from Celestial Companions gives me Sammy vibes so I had to back for it of course. I also adore the Key Hoard Keeper from Dragon Hoard Keeper - also check out the amazing plush and keychain designs from this campaign, they are absolutely genius.
If you're a fan of eldritch sea creatures you'll love the Lobster and other designs from Warped Ocean. From Kitty Carousel I love the Twinkling Tiger, it gives me Rumi vibes and will find a home with my other KPDH pins.
Angel Compendium is chock full of fantastic designs for angel pin collectors, I love the first three pins that have been unlocked!
Sharing more monsters, the La Llorona pin from Super Naturals is beautiful, and I also love the Lich from Fantasy Stamps.
The Mothman design from Distorted Cryptids is so cool, I love the inspiration and meaning behind it! From Zodiac Goddesses I love Aquarius, the flow of this design is so nice.
Next are some fiery pins, I think the Disabled Mech pin from Ion Heart Lo-Fi Mech Pins is really neat, this campaign has such a cool concept overall. I also love the Black Shuck pins from Mythological Creatures.
If you like KPop Demon Hunters, check out the KPop Slayers set and Demon Hunters Kitsune pins! I love the concept behind the kitsune pins, I think it's super creative and the designs are beautiful.
If you're a fan of funny guys with eyes, check out the Weirdcore campaign and especially the Starla design. If you're a fan of Spirited Away, don't miss the Haku pin from Dragons Den!
Some cool canines are next. I love the Aurora pin from Pawfect Maids, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a plush of this character too. And I also love the Fox from Forest Melodies, the character is so handsome.
Alright back to more angels! I can't miss my fellow Angels & Demons creators. I love the Archangel Michael pin from Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, the flaming sword is so cool. And I adore the Humility design from Angels and Sins, she's so sweet and shy. Check out the stretch goals for this campaign too if you're a fan of eldritch angels!
If you're on the hunt for adorable plush pairs, check out these designs and their campaigns!
If you're a fan of angels, cats, or angel cats, these designs are great and would be at home in any angels or demons collection.
Each of these pins has such a fun design and their campaigns are really cool as well, I love their themes and concepts!
I can't resist a cat in costume, if you too are a fan check out these designs from The Cat Worlds of Louis Wain. I especially love the "Scouting through the wood" design, it reminds me of my tuxedo cat Marlowe.
Finishing off this pin share with some last few angel and demons pins. I love the wings on the Celestial Beetle from Celestial, this campaign also has a fantastic moth pin if you're a fan of angelic/celestial moths. And last but not least, the devil girls from Ink-Fernal are super cute, I love all the colors but especially the periwinkle one.
If you made it this far thanks for reading this super long update, I hope I helped you find another pin or campaign you enjoy!
