I have a quick update for you guys! For those who weren't able to pledge during the campaign, pin sets are now available for preorder on my shop! These preorders will ship after all backerkit pledges have been fulfilled, so estimated to ship sometime between late July through September.

These will stay on my shop as long as supplies last - I currently have every different pin set in stock. Grab them here!

Additionally, I recieved the backing cards for the pins and have some photos to share. Take a look!

This weekend I'll begin the process of packaging all of the pin sets onto their respective backings. Sticker sheets are still in production and I'll let you all know when I have them on hand and have begun order fulfillment! I'll make an announcement when it's time to lock addresses so keep an eye out if you might need to make an address change beforehand.

Thanks for tuning in for this update! Which backing card design is your favorite?

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?

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a very quick status update (I'm going to make an effort to be more frequent with communications)

As I mentioned in my previous post my plan was to resume fulfillment after returning from vending at Anime Los Angeles. To make a long story short, I got super sick almost immediately after the convention. I got a pretty terrible cold that put me out of commission for about a week already, then while I was still in the midst of my cold, all four people in my house including me got a nasty stomach flu... I was double sick and at the same time actively helping take care of my roommates who were all also getting sick. Basically this entire thing was pretty terrible and draining, and inhibited me from doing much of anything other than just recover for multiple weeks. I'm doing much better now so I will be able to resume normalcy. 

I wanted to share an update since my initial goal was to tie up all loose ends one month from my return from Anime Los Angeles (January 12th)  -  these circumstances have delayed me substantially so most likely it will take me a few extra weeks. I am a college student at the same time and doing my best so please bear with me. I appreciate all of your patience and understanding so much. 

Soupy
