I also want to quickly thank you all for your patience with me in making these updates. I'd been so busy with school lately but have now conveniently started my summer break, so I can fully dedicate myself to this final push toward the finish line!

I am now just waiting to receive all sticker sheets and backing cards to begin reward fulfillment! My goal timeframe is late July through August. I'll be enlisting the help of some friends to hopefully speed along this fulfillment process for you guys. I'm so excited for everyone to receive their rewards!

Regarding making the pins available for those who did not pledge during the campaign, I'm hoping to soon begin listing the remaining pins for preorder on my shop. These orders would be fulfilled only after all campaign rewards have been sent out! I'll make a dedicated update when these listings are live.

The sticker sheets have been given some more TLC since the campaign. They now have cute filler stickers and subtle backgrounds!

I designed custom backing cards to spruce up the pin sets' packaging! These different backdrops will correspond to specific pin sets based on the cats' territories!

PINS! SO MANY PINS! Prepare to exercise your scrolling finger..

Thank you all for the support and for tuning in for this update! If you scrolled all the way to the bottom, comment your favorite kind of pizza :)

My pin manufacturer for Tiny Warriors has shared our first photos of the pins!!! There are thirteen photos here that I am so excited to share with you all!

I'm absolutely thrilled with how they are coming out so far and can't wait to have them on hand to take even better photos. I hope you are as excited as I am!

Pins: In production
Banners: Finished and on-hand (I'm very happy with the quality of them, the print came out beautiful and the fabric is nice and soft! I tested one by sticking a pin onto it multiple times, and it hides the holes very well.)
Sticker sheets: Making adjustments to the layout and getting samples to find the best product

After some minor delays I can finally say TODAY is the day surveys will all be sent out! (No, it's not an April Fool's joke... the date is a coincidence!) At this moment a small pool (15) of you have already received your survey email. We are starting with a small batch to hopefully catch any errors in the survey.

In a few hours if there seem to be no major issues then the rest of the surveys will be sent via email! Please keep an eye out for them! Your swift response will help me finalize the pin order for manufacturing by determining how many of each pin set I'll need to order, if I'll need to get extras, etc.

Thank you all for your support, keep an eye out for your survey today, and please let me know if you run into any issues! You can contact me in the comments here, through email [email protected], or through twitter dm @yypuos.

Which pin set(s) will you be selecting?

As of now, all backers should have received a survey. Please fill your survey at your earliest convenience to secure your preferred rewards and get your shipping address sorted! You will have until April 15 to fill and make edits to your survey before orders are locked. If you can't find your survey in your email, please let me know and I can get you a new survey link!

Also please make sure that your pledge payment has gone through correctly. Some card charges failed totaling almost $1,000 - Please double check to make sure this wasn't yours! If for any reason you must cancel or refund your pledge please contact me and I can get it sorted for you.

The pin banners are currently being manufactured! Manufacturing for the pin sets is expected to begin within the next 2 weeks. I will share progress photos of those when they are ready! I am making final adjustments on the sticker sheets for manufacturing as well.

Thank you to everyone who has already submitted their survey! A swift response helps me out a lot. And thank you to everyone who has supported Tiny Warriors!

Thank you all so much for your support for Tiny Warriors! Now that the campaign has wrapped I'm sure a lot of you are wondering what the timeline looks like for surveys being sent and shipping being charged so I wanted to provide a quick update.

Short explanation: Expect surveys no later than the 28th of this month, but hopefully a bit sooner!

Long explanation: During this last week I've been extremely busy between my finals at school and helping my family move on short notice. It's been taking all of my time but at least my finals finally end on the 23rd! After that I will be free to devote all my attention toward finalizing the surveys to be sent out. As soon as it's ready I'll be posting another anouncement to let you all know! I'll give over a week and plenty of reminders to make sure everybody is kept up to speed.
After shipping has been charged and pledges are all sorted I'll also announce when production of the pins, stickers, and banners have started! I can't wait for everybody to receive their rewards!

Thank you all again for all your support. I truly never expected this project would suprass 21,000! It's absolutely mind boggling! I hope you guys all enjoy the final products, and maybe stay tuned for more in the future!
