This is the current announced line-up of Mochi-pins for Pintopia 2026!
(Please note that *ehem* Ice/Grass Foxes are a work in progress and will only be drawn/rendered when the stretch goal is met!)
Each pin varies in sizes, but will follow the general scaling of previous mochi pins ( 1.1" ~ 1.7" in size).
Please note: As of 2/2/2026, all designs (EXCEPT FOR GLACEON/LEAFEON) are unlocked. Glaceon/Leafeon will be finished and unlocked at $4500. Please feel free to pledge for the designs you would like~
STICKERS
Like the previous pintopia, early bird backers get a random mochi sticker from the line-up. Add-ons of stickers will allow you to choose a sticker of your choice. If you add-on stickers, your random sticker will be different from your choice to ensure no duplicates.
They are 2.5" on their longest side, are matte, UV-protected, waterproof, and weatherproof.
This enamel pin project is inspired by my love of other artists who have popularized dyed soft enamel pins and have found a way into my heart and collection! These dyed soft enamel pins have a cute candy look to them that makes them colorful and adorable to collect, wear, and display, but also still made of the sturdy metal that we know and love with hard-dyed enamel pins!
Previous Examples:
Designs Each of these pins will range in size from 1.1" to 1.7" depending on the design. The price for each tier on Backerkit is for one enamel pin of any unlocked design! They will have screenprinted details and recessed colored in areas to make them cute like candy. I have named them Mochi-pins after my cat, Mochi, who is squishy and very friend-shaped.
This project encompanies a variety of beloved characters I love. Help us fund the entire roster so that we can add more friends to the mochiverse!
Pledges For base pledges, you can buy each one individually or a pack of six. If you need a smaller amount or you would like to purchase more, there will be an add-on option to add on additional enamel pins for $16. You can choose any design you prefer as long as they are unlocked designs. A survey will be sent out at the end of the campaign so you can select your choices and review what has been fully unlocked at the end of the campaign.
What are add-ons?
Add-ons are separate items that you can add to your pledge to have them shipped together.
Some add-ons (such as a selection of additional Mochi-pins) are offered at a cheaper price compared to the after-sale or how much it would cost in store!
Some items such as the Mochi-pin stickers are made-to-order and will not be sold online outside of the campaign.
All add-ons are completely optional and does not affect whether or not you will get your pledged pin.
The add-ons for this campaign include (prices are in USD):
Each individual Mochi-pin will be $15 USD.
You can add as many as you want! You will not be choosing the design until the campaign is over, I will send a survey for you to select the pins that you want. This also applies for add-ons, if you have selected add-ons with variety such as Mochimon stickers, you will be given the option to choose which one you would like after the campaign is over.
Previous Mochi-pins:
Previous Mochi-pins are available for the same price as they are in my online store. Please note that several designs will not be restocked when sold out as I want to clear my stock.
Mochi-pin Stickers: $5 Each
Cute and colorful, they look like candies and are made with vinyl, water-proof, UV-protected, dishwasher safe, and vibrant. They are 2.5" on the longest side. Each sticker will be $5 USD.
Availability Post-Campaign: * All enamel pins will be available through my online store after the fulfillment of this campaign at choice (eg: non-gacha) at a higher price and also less scrutiny (all pins will be standard-grading where minor flaws are considered acceptable. Only pins in this campaign will be guaranteed A-grade where they are held to the highest scrutiny.
Limited Editions: * None of the designs in this campaign are limited edition; however, if a design does not perform well post-production it may be discontinued as soon as it is sold out. In those cases, these pins are considered "limited", but are not "limited edition".
As more and more funding is secured for this project, it opens up more options for production down the line - including these "locked designs" that I have. They're designs that are fully drafted and ready to be made, but lack the funding. As we gain funding for this project, we unlock more pin designs. At the end of the project, I will send you a survey and there will be a list of the unlocked pins for you to choose from.
What happens if the pin I want is locked?
If the pin you are looking for is locked, please still try to pledge early. Backerkit is an all-or-nothing based system and you can cancel or change your pledge at any time if it seems that the design you are interested in is not going to be fully funded. The earlier we can have pledges be placed, the more opportunities we have to unlock the design that you'd like! We need your help!
The way that I run my campaigns is that I always use campaigns to assist with funding. $1000 will help unlock some of the campaign's initial designs and some of the necessary budgeting. I tend to put in some of my own personal funds into my projects. It really is a team effort that I'd love for you to be a part of!
An estimate of costs for the initial $1,000 is as follows:
10% goes to hosting this on Backerkit, 30% goes to sampling the enamel pins to make sure that they are how I imagine them to be, 40% goes separately to mass produce the approved sample, and 20% goes to covering shipping from the manufacturer to me.
At $1000, the packaging costs (cards, plastic sleeves, shipping labels, shipping mailers) and possible import fees depending on what occurs during the outcome of this election are covered by me. It is not until the $1,700 mark where everything from the initial set of designs are fully funded and we can then comfortably unlock new designs with full funding.
Ideas beyond PIntopia 2026:
For Pintopia 2026, if we exceed and fully fund the campaign, I would like to invest the profits into making samples of some of the Poke hard enamel pins that I've teased on Instagram (@yuuxine). Enamel pins are difficult for me to self-fund. Despite being a pin collector myself and wanting to be a pin artist, I don't have much of an organic fanbase for enamel pins (so if you like my pins, please keep up with me on instagram @yuuxine or @yuxine.art) as I'd love to be able to have an organic fanbase who would be interested in my pins. :)
I have a small batch of hard enamel pin designs that I would like to fund and if we end up having a feasible amount of profit, I would like to use the funds to fund those pins. Thus, any funding after $7000 will be put into making samples for my hard enamel pins that I wanted to make.
I do not see these being stretch goals for Pintopia since I want this campaign to be focused on my mochi pins, but if you pledge on Backerkit and I end up being able to open pre-orders on my own store for the hard enamel pins I wanted to fund, then I will issue a free shipping coupon if you'd like to combine your Pintopia order and pre-orders for the hard enamel pin projects!
There are several countries that I currently do not ship to due to them just generally not accepting packages from the USA (via USPS which I use): Countries not accepting packages from USPS: Afghanistan, Belarus, Brunei, Darussalam, Cuba, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Myanmar, Niue, Russian Federation, Syrian Arab Republic, Ukraine, Vanuatu, Yemen.
First-off I want to be transparent and let you know that all of these dates are estimations of when a product goes off smoothly and without any hiccups, but please be aware that due to unseen circumstances they may be delayed or changed. In the event that this happens, you will always, always receive a notice in regards to when shipping dates or production timelines are changed.
I give an estimation on time for there to include:
Proofing of the designs and discussion with manufacturing partners to choose colors, select finishes or extra effects (for the MochiMon campaign specifically, we'll be working with colors, screenprinting, recessed details and colored recessed areas)
Samples are made (and if certain samples turn out in a way that I feel are not up to standards with the product that I want to deliver, I will end up turning back to the manufacturer and declining to move forward with the sample until I am happy - this may go back to step one of re-proofing the design)
I have only had this happen one time with pin manufacturing where I turned the sample back to the manufacturer to change all of the colors because I wanted to produce the highest quality and best enamel pin that I could do. All of these were completely communicated to the pledges.
Any delays in shipping, especially with the current political climate within USA, I cannot predict how interactions abroad and receiving shipments from abroad, tariffs, etc. will affect this project. I will communicate any changes and I'm always focused on anything that may affect business results and timelines, so I will be keeping track of any policies that may affect this campaign.
All shipping fees will be chargedseparately, AFTER the campaign, during pledge management. The prices below are estimates. Add-on's for this campaign are unlikely to affect shipping by much as they are all lighter items, but in the case that shipping costs are affected, I will reach out to you to let you know.
Estimated shipping costs (IN USD for 1~10+ pins):
$7~10 USA
~$20 International
ESTIMATED TIME-LINE: February 12: End of campaign. February 18: Begins proofing and sampling process for any designs 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
TARIFFS/EXTRA COSTS: All customers are responsible for paying the proper taxes placed on imports during the time of receipt. There are no tariffs within USA (domestic) shipments. This may differ from international shipping, please check with your own post office policies. Buyers are also always responsible for making sure that their address is up to date and accurate in spelling and formatting. If your package is returned to me I will hold onto the package for up to 6 months while it is eligible for reshipment at an additional cost. If returned and you no longer wish to have the package, you will be refunded only for the items. Shipment price and transaction fees apply. There are no exceptions to this policy. By placing an order in my store or pledging for a project that I am running, you agree to these terms and conditions.
DESIGNS The pins that you are seeing are 90% their final design and may be subject to change. Majority of it will not be changed, the only things that I may be subject to change is if my manufacturer indicates that something cannot be done successfully or if it may look better to do something one way or another. Any changes will be to my discretion and will in all faith be done to bring you the best product possible. If there are any changes, they will be communicated promptly to allow time for backers to make a decision on their pledge.
PIN GRADING
When I receive the pins I will do grading on my end - it is my goal to produce only the highest quality of items and I will reserve only the best for my supporters, but please be aware that because many parts of an enamel pin are hand-made and finished by actual people and not machines, there will be areas prone to specks and errors that can only be found if you're looking for it. I will not send out pins that have defects such as deep scratches or incorrect paint, but please be aware that enamel pins may have a higher variation rate compared to products that are completely done through machines.
COMMUNICATIONS When backing for this campaign, please be aware of the email that you are using for this campaign. I have found that backing through your apple iOS leads to them using your apple id to back campaigns and it may result in discrepancies between your preferred email and an appleID that does not receive emails accurately. This leads to issues getting into communication with you and delays our timeline when we are unable to contact you. Please ensure that the email you are using is accurate. If we are unable to reach you, we cannot promise that the items you originally wanted can be secured and you may result in losing out on your rewards or we may choose to give you randomized items to fulfill your order if you are unable to tell us which items you prefer. We usually give multiple opportunities to correct your email, payment, and tell us which items you would like - so please be sure to keep your communication methods open.
Through pledging through Backerkit or placing any orders through me, I will always promise to be communicative about my projects and vow to update in a timely manner. Please refer to Backerkit updates on my pages to make sure that you get my updates. If you have any questions or concerns about my projects, please feel free to reach out to me through email - [email protected]. I tend to answer the same business day or same-hour if I am awake.
COUNTRIES I SHIP TO Countries not accepting packages from USPS: Afghanistan, Belarus, Brunei, Darussalam, Cuba, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Myanmar, Niue, Russian Federation, Syrian Arab Republic, Ukraine, Vanuatu, Yemen. If your country was NOT mentioned, I can ship to you. If you are a part of these countries, please either have an alternative shipping address that IS NOT a part of these countries.
