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?

I wanted to make a quick update to let everybody know that physical rewards are being shipped now! In fact, a few of you have already begun receiving your kitties in the mail 👀 So keep an eye out for an email with your tracking number soon if you haven’t already got it!

I also finally took some photos of the actual sticker sheets to share with you all! They came out great, they are really vibrant and colorful in person! I have been running some very… scientific quality assurance tests (aka run stickers through dish washer) and can safely say these things are really durable. And waterproof!

These sticker sheets are now available in my shop! If you missed out on them during the campaign or want to get more, now is your chance! As a reminder, I also have pin sets available for post-campaign pre-orders, which will start to ship out after campaign rewards have all been fulfilled.

It’s really crazy to be nearing the end of this Tiny Warriors adventure. I started sketching out these pin designs in September of 2024, almost a full year ago now! I seriously never imagined the sheer scale of what Tiny Warriors became and it’s so surreal that these pins and stickers are now real and making their way across the world. I want to thank you guys again for all your support bringing this crazy dream to life! 

I can’t promise anything, but I’ve been thinking… Round two? During the tail end of the campaign I had decided I felt happy with the roster I ended up with, but as time goes on I do think I missed some characters that would be fun. BUT… there would have to be enough interest. Let me know if there are any characters you’re still dying to see!
