Project Update: Last Day!
Hi Everyone!
This is the final stretch and final day to finalize your pledges -
This is the final stretch and final day to finalize your pledges -
but if you're hesitating on whether you should pledge or not, I have some additional information to hopefully provide you with an informed decision -
- Prices for this campaign are confirmed to be the lowest. I've gone through and worked through a quote with my manufacturer. Due to the increase of tariffs and exclusivity of Backerkit, all of my products will be increased.
- Some pins were always meant to be a higher price than the $14-15 advertised price. Such as the Lugias, Dragonite, and Milotic, that are a bit on the longer side.
- Mochimon stickers are not purchaseable through an online store. These will be made and manufactured to order. Any left-overs will be sold in-person at conventions and once they are sold out they will not be made again.
- Some items are determined to be limited to this campaign. Some items once sold out, I have no interest in re-stocking. They may be made with lower quantity as well.
- I have closed-mouth Jirachi as a campaign-only item as I felt that I wanted to give my backers the opportunity to go with a closed-mouth option since that was what I started with, but I do not intend on stocking more closed-mouth Jirachi once that variant sells out.
- Some designs may also be manufactured in less quantity, I don't know if I want to stock them in the long-term. If any items sell poorly, I will not choose to restock them after they sell out after the campaign. By pledging and purchasing during this campaign you are securing the design you're interested in for sure as well for a discounted price and earlier than everyone.
- I don't know if I'll stock BOTH variants of Mew. If one of them ends of selling significantly better than the other, I may choose to discontinue the other variant to simplify my stock.
- These pins are mixed grade but I reserve the best for my backers.
- Due to the nature of how enamel pins are manufactured, I tend to ship out Mochimon pins at a mixed grade. The only time that any Mochimon pins are withdrawn from selling is if there's a very drastic defect. I reserve all of the best quality for my backers. By backing, you are guaranteeing yourself an A-grade enamel pin. Left-overs will be mixed grade.
Reminder that these are the designs, please take a look and adjust your pledges accordingly!
Time-Line
I have already started discussions with my manufacturer and we're starting to work on the project, but this is the most accurate time-line that I have to offer right now. For this project I am working with my favorite manufacturer that I trust the most to bring you the best quality that I can bring. We're going to work on samples as well and I've even treated myself to a nifty pantone book before the campaign ends so that I can get the colors as close as possible to what I'm looking for!! I'm so excited!
Again here is the rough time-line, I will continue to monitor it accordingly. Please be aware that due to our political climate and policy changes that affect the states, this may vary. I will be in communication with everyone if there are any changes.
February 13: End of campaign
- I am away out of town until Feb 17 - please email me at [email protected] for any questions/concerns, I will likely be able to respond if I am online but this will just be a head's up if you don't hear from me right away.
February 18~21: Around this time surveys will be sent out. Begins proofing and sampling process for any designs. Surveys will be sent and collected - these surveys will ask you which items you would like, if you'd like to add anything on, and requests for payment. Please finalize these as soon as possible so that I can get an accurate total count for which pins you'd like!
Late April ~ Late May: Samples are finished
Early June: Mass production for all unlocked designs begins
Late July: Mass production is finished and the journey from the manufacturer to my door starts.
Late August: All items are received and I begin to process packages and shipping
This is the home-stretch and I'm so excited. Thank you all for your support!
