Project Update: Pin Photos and Charging Cards

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. 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.

And now without further ado, here are all the pins.

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.

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.
