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?

Just cutting right to the chase… Unfortunately, I honestly made very little progress since my last update. I had a lot going on in my personal life and had a bit of a rough time mentally for a moment. I don’t think these excuse the lack of progress because despite these things I know I could have done more and I apologize. I share this because I know it is better to be upfront and honest about where I am at and why.

Last update I mentioned that 12 orders had been packed and not yet labeled, those were all shipped out - 7 of them have been delivered and the remaining 5 are still in transit.

I don’t feel satisfied with the number of orders fulfilled between this update and my last so I will aim for more progress in my next one to the best of my ability. Thank you all for bearing with me. I know it’s a little slow but I’m trying to get a better balance between school and fulfillment. I’m happy to hear when the items are make it to you guys safely and I hope it won’t be too long before everyone has theirs.
