First of all, holy smokes! You guys blew this out of the water. I’ve already gotten sappy enough in past updates but thank you all so much! You have no idea how much I appreciate the support.
So now what? You have 2 weeks to fix any failed payment methods or issues! After that the surveys will go out! Surveys will close on December 1st. The survey will give you the option to let me know if you want to be charged immediately or when the survey closes. As I know a few people on my last survey wanted to be charged immediately for budget reasons and others wanted to wait until the survey closed to get paid!
After that the pins will go into production! I will be out of town for most of the survey. But I’ll still do my best to respond to emails ([email protected])! Please note, I don’t always see/get notifications for comments left on the page. The fastest way to reach me is on discord. https://discord.gg/rPPf4NUejw
As for where I’ll be? Twin cities con, Anime Dallas, Anime Frontier, and Anime Weekend Atlanta! If you end up at one of those cons come say hi to me! And preemptive apologies if I look tired or out of it. My autoimmune makes conventions a little exhausting but I love to meet yall and it’s always so exciting when someone tells me they follow me on socials/kickstarter. Gives me a bit of imposter syndrome too lol.
It’s hard to predict when the pins will be done as there’s several holidays between now and next year, however I tried to plan accordingly in the original timeline. So keep an eye out for that!
I’m doing my best to get everything out! Please bear with me as I had said I’d get them out before July. If you need/want your order out ASAP please email me ([email protected]) and I can prioritize it first! While I know crowdfunding campaigns are often delayed, I want to try my best to always stick to the timeline I’ve given.
We’ve gotten about 108 crowdfunding orders out so far. Having my plans to move get disrupted and then pushed to last month really messed up my schedule. As I had to move (and the moving company I hired to help canceled on me last minute) during the peak of my fulfillment period. I still haven’t really unpacked my apartment because I’ve been nonstop busy. I also hired on 2 new artists to help and so I’ve been training them. But they’ve gotten busy with con season and getting off waitlists so I’m still trying my best to get things out on my own as well. The goal is to get all forgotten forest and non-plush Adventure Buddy orders out before August.
Hopefully there won’t be too many delays going into the future as I’m working to hire/train new folk to help. Because of this though, if you have any issues with your orders please let me know! As training new people sometimes leads to some errors!
I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know all orders should be fulfilled this month! I have finally hit the point where I have to acknowledge I need help lol! I’m bringing on KatzeKreations and RexusIllustrations to help me with the 533 orders I have between this campaign and Adventure buddies to hopefully knock both of them out this month! Go give them some love for me because I’m so hugely appreciative of their help!
I’ll post another update once we’ve gotten through all the forgotten forest orders!
Also! Media Monsters just went live and is already fully funded! This will be my last campaign (probably) for a while until Forgotten Forest: Endangered Species shows up for Pintober this year!
Finally flying back from The Cheesecake Factory Fire Con… I mean SakuraCon! Once I get back I’m going to start working on Forgotten forest orders in earnest. I should have all the add on items I need to fulfill all the orders within the week. I’m touring some apartments and will probably be moving in the next two weeks but besides from that I have no other pressing tasks besides finishing the Media Monsters & Helluva Boss pins and restocking for Fan Expo Phili.
I tend to fulfill orders from smallest to largest because my current apartment doesn’t have space to put all the pins out at once and it’s easier once I get through a bulk of the pins to do the larger orders. However, if you want your order sooner let me know and I can prioritize it! It may also still be a month or two as I can normally do 10-15 orders a day with my autoimmune + rest days. All items will still be fulfilled within the current timeline! (I always budget time for cons and autoimmune flares <3)
If any of yall will be at fan expo Phili let me know and I can bring your order with me in person!
I just wanted to update and say some orders will ship really early! I’ve received most of the items (not all) and figured I’d start getting some smaller orders out the door. Probably starting with single pin orders of the Fox! I’m still working on painting all the Enamel pin boards for the helluva portrait campaign so those are taking top priority. The process will still be a bit slow. I started a new autoimmune med and it’s kicking my ass lol.
If you address changes between when I lock it and when I ship please email me ([email protected]) or message me on discord/instagram! I’ll get it updated.
