Project Update: 12/18 Update:
Hello everyone!
I have news in regards to this campaign as well as Pintopia. I will only be communicating what is necessary for this campaign here since I am undergoing a dispute with my previous manufacturer.
I have news in regards to this campaign as well as Pintopia. I will only be communicating what is necessary for this campaign here since I am undergoing a dispute with my previous manufacturer.
- I am now working with a new manufacturer who has helped me navigate the issues with my previous manufacturer.
- I am currently in a dispute with my previous manufacturer who has threatened to hold items that I legally own (like my molds for previous projects) hostage. They can keep it lol - they were asking for over a thousand dollars to release possession of items that I legally owned. In China they legally cannot keep my mold hostage, but since I am international it would've been difficult to protect my work. It would've cost less to just remake all of the molds, so I'm moving on.
- If you see any bootlegs, please report them. I have suspicions that they are petty (from what I've seen during my time working with them) and will try to bootleg my pre-existing projects that I made with their factory. I cannot do anything about it legally but I am hopeful to squander what I can, if you are able to assist in reporting potential listings whenever possible, please help. I'd appreciate it!
- The Persona pins are due to arrive end of month January through March. Please be patient if the deadline skews from this since we're starting completely from scratch and have to remake the Royal Trio from scratch as well because the previous manufacturer kept my mold.
- Stickers and keychains have all been ordered.
- I will be joining Pintopia 2026 because all pins are now under production and all have the same estimated time-line of being due end of month January through March. I have faith in my new company and do not believe it will impact how Pintopia 2026 performs since Pintopia 2026 will be handled by a completely different manufacturer that I trust (and was also responsible for delivering 19+ pin designs during Pintopia 2025).
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, thank you for the support!
