Project Update: Campaign Leftovers
Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll, after reviewing the results I decided to do a limited release of campaign leftovers on Etsy. My shop is now reopened, and will remain open for three days only, closing on Sunday, October 5 at 5PM PST. For some designs there are only seconds grade pins available, so please check each listing carefully. Backers can check the backers-only section for a coupon code.
If you miss out on Etsy, I will send leftovers to SJMade, and Mushroomy for anyone international. You can check with them in the future for when items are available, it may take a few weeks for items to be listed.
If you like my art and want to see more, you can follow me on social media, subscribe to my newsletter, or follow me here on Backerkit.
Please contact Backerkit support if there are any issues with your rewards. Backerkit support will forward your message to me. I can accommodate limited replacements or exchanges. Do not message me on my shops, social media, or comment on the campaign page.
The End, for Now
I have an idea for a plush campaign, I'm hoping to have it ready in time for Pintopia 2026 in January. If you're interested you can follow the teaser page to be notified when that campaign is launching.
I do have some ideas for future pin campaigns, but nothing set in stone just yet. If you have an idea for my next pin series or other merch, you can send them via this Google Form. You can also vote in the attached poll. If I plan any more pin campaigns I'd like them to be for themes or ideas you all are interested in.
I still love pins and I'm sure I'll plan another pin series in the future; so this is not goodbye forever - only, goodbye for now!

Project Update: Pins Have Shipped
Your tracking number is available through Backerkit. If your tracking number starts with “AHOY” you will need to use Ascendia instead of USPS for tracking. More information on tracking is available here.
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!
Campaign Leftovers
That's all for this update, keep an eye out for one final update regarding campaign leftovers.

Project Update: Pin Photos and Charging Cards
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. A few of you have surveys that could not be unlocked, so if you wish to make changes please contact Backerkit support before surveys lock again. If you change your mind about any designs after seeing photos or reviewing the grading considerations, please use this time to edit your order. No changes will be allowed once surveys lock again. If you lost your survey, you can recover it here.
If you would like more information on my pin grading system, please see my About Page & FAQ. We are especially low on extras of the following pins in standard grade:
- Cyberpunk Medusa
- Genderqueer Angel Pin - Red
- Gibson Girl Vampire
- Medieval Unicorn Knight
- Neonoir Angel
- Neonoir Lich
- Neonoir Werewolf
- Obscura - Black Nickel
- Zodiac Putti - Dog
Please be advised of the following considerations, which are widespread enough to not be considered flaws for the purposes of grading. I have tried to grade the pins such that the backers get the best of the batch, but if any issue bothers you please select a different pin while surveys are reopened:
- Some of the black nickel pins have tarnishing and scratches across the whole batch that is visible at a certain angle. This has especially affected the Dune pins, Genderfluid Angel recolor, Medieval Monsters, Monastic Monsters, Gothic Western Monsters, Gibson Girl Vampire, Zodiac Putti - Dog, all three Dark Watchers designs, and Trigun Stargaze pins.
- The black nickel Obscura designs had more extensive scratching so some of the pins may have small visible scratches - since most people are getting them as freebies I think this is acceptable! Please see the photos for an example.
- There is texture visible in the glow in the dark enamel of the Neonoir Monsters pins. I mentioned this was a possibility when polling for GITD and most backers were okay with this. I wanted to give another heads-up in case you missed this and if it bothers you, please change your survey selections.
- Additionally, there are in general widespread issues with the Neonoir Monsters pins plating and enamel. This includes small flaws such as specks of missing plating and texture, as well as raised metal in some designs.
- As mentioned previously, rainbow plating colors are unique to each pin and colors may differ from the photos and videos provided.
- Additionally, pins with large areas of exposed metal (such as the Dark Watchers designs) may have small scratches or texture from the metal polishing that is visible close-up.
- The red chrome Trigun Stargaze pins may have a tint in the enamel due to the plating.
- The transparent enamel in the Gothic Western Dullahan pin turned out much darker than in the mockup due to the plating.
- The pins with rose gold and copper plating (in particular the Rococo and Cowboy Monsters) may have some slight tarnishing visible at certain angles. Often this tarnishing is unavoidable with these plating types.
- There is a small enamel color mistake on the Cyberpunk Angel.
Again, if any of the above issues bother you or you don't like how the pins turned out, you are free to edit your order until surveys are locked again. If I cannot fulfill your order, I will email you to inquire if you would like to select a different pin; or would be satisfied with a seconds grade pin instead. I cannot facilitate remakes so I am no longer offering this option.
Once surveys are locked again I will charge cards for shipping and survey addons; and addresses will be locked as well. Be sure to check your payment information and shipping address are correct. After cards are charged, shipping will begin! It may take me longer than with previous campaigns due to the volume of orders and my free time being more limited lately - your patience is greatly appreciated in advance.
I've also posted videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Tumblr showing them in action.
Once you receive your package, please contact Backerkit support if there are any issues with your rewards. I can accommodate replacements or exchanges if needed. Please do not message me on social media or via my shops, if you do that I may miss your message.

Project Update: Pin Grading Continues
While you wait, now is a great time to review your order to make sure your address and payment information is correct. Please be prepared to pay for shipping as well as any addons you added during the survey. Surveys will be unlocked for 48 hours after I send out pin photos, in the next update - and then addons and shipping will be charged for once surveys lock again. If you lost your survey, you can recover it here.
Thanks so much for your patience! That's all for this update, as always leave me a comment if you have any questions.
