Hello backers, I got news from my manufacturers 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.

I hope you all love your pins once you receive them. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments.

Hello backers, it's been a minute since the last update so I thought I'd share more preview photos of pins from my manufacturers - you can find them in the backers-only section. If you have questions about the pin making process, check out the previous update.

My main manufacturer has been much slower than usual, likely due to the summer being the busy season. The manufacturer for the Film Noir and Neonoir pins has shipped most of them, but they are stuck in transit with no ETA, and some of the designs are being remade due to a high flaw rate.

Other than that, not much to report! I'll be back once I have more exciting news to share. One more thing: if you missed my latest campaign Dual Destinies, the preorder store is open until July 13 - there's lots of pins and stickers to preorder.

Hello backers, please see the backers-only section for some photos of the in-progress pins.

If you missed the update about it, my new campaign Dual Destinies: A BG3 Pin Series is launching tomorrow. Here are all the pins available to unlock, with more to be added according to votes on this post. If you have any questions or concerns about this campaign overlapping with TMEP, please read the linked update.

As always leave a comment if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello monster enthusiasts, my new campaign Dual Destinies: A BG3 Pin Series is launching next week on June 10. This campaign features designs inspired by the good and bad endings for the Baldur's Gate 3 companions. Pins of other characters are available to fund as well. You can vote on and suggest more characters to add in this post; and also vote on stretch goals in this poll.

Dual Destinies is partnered with The Cats of BG3, if you pledge to both campaigns you'll receive exclusive freebies. 

Both campaigns are also part of Pin Quest, be sure to check out the other campaigns if you're in the market for fantastical pins. If you pledge to three or more campaigns including Dual Destinies, you'll receive a bonus freebie pin.

I wanted to give you all assurance that I am committed to fulfilling Themed Monster Enamel Pins first and foremost. Usually I like to completely wrap up one campaign before launching another but the TMEP production has been slower than usual so there is a little overlap. I anticipate TMEP to overlap only with the funding stage of Dual Destinies (which is ending June 26), so it should not conflict with fulfillment. If you've pledged to previous campaigns, you'll know this sort of overlap has happened before but hasn't caused any issues. 

If the Dual Destinies campaign sounds interesting to you I hope you'll consider pledging. But I understand if you prefer to wait for this campaign's pins first before pledging. If you miss the Dual Destinies campaign, just like with TMEP there will be a post-campaign preorder store.

If you have any questions or concerns you can leave them in the comments. Thanks for your support and patience!

Hello backers and followers, the stickers have arrived. Below you can find photos of them. I have also posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action.

That's all for this update. Have a wonderful rest of your day!
