The first batch of pins are here and they are gorgeous!!! Still waiting on Sleipnir, both Kelpie and Kirin, and Indrik so I’ll be getting those along with the backing cards in a few weeks. My apologies to everyone for the delay, I’m assuming my factory is being slowed by the supply shortage and new regulations although they haven’t said they have been. Again if any of your rewards are Christmas gifts please let me know so I can expedite your order once everything comes in especially if you are needing it shipped internationally.

New project

Hey everyone, got an update from my manu last night that they are shipping the pins. I’m really hoping they were al made correctly since I noticed in one of the pictures they had used colors from a proof not a final so I’m hoping that is the only one. The Indrik is being remade along with some canine pins I’m running low on so if you choose not he Indrik it will delayed unfortunately.

On another note I have a new campaign launching today but it’s much different than my last two. I jumped on the Genshin bandwagon a few months ago so Im launching a project of pillow charms. The project will only last two weeks and shouldn’t affect this project at all: if your interested go check it out.

Im also in the works for a mythical feline project Im aiming to launch in February so expect some updates soon about them.

Progress

Wanted to give everyone a quick update. Pins are still in production, my manu sent me some photos finally but they are extremely blurry but they looks good from what I can see. Still looks like there is a lot of work to do so we are definitely behind schedule. I've addressed this with the manu that they are far behind schedule so they will be stepping things up. I'm not exactly sure what happened with the 20-25 production day schedule, even with their holiday at the beginning of the month they still should have been closer to being finished. 

At least that gives me more time to work on cutting all the stickers out. Sorry I don't have more to say right now, if they send me better pictures I'll post them here but like I said they were very very blurry. Most likely shipping will happen mid November, I'm planning on visiting my brother and sister in law in November which is why I was hoping to have them at the end of this month but I will do my best to ship them in time for Christmas once they arrive. 

Till next update, Rae

update!

Not much of an update but pins are in production. I haven’t gotten any photos but I trust my manu is working hard. All the sticker paper arrived today so I’ll be able to at least start making stickers and get backers who back sticker pack without any carousel pins out. I noticed a few backers of the sticker pack tier did add on a few Canis Mythologica pins so those will go out soon as I do have those in stock. I’ll be posting another update soon and be sending tracking numbers individually. For now I have over 5,000 stickers to print laminate and cut (with the help of my handy dandy Cricut Maker) It’s by no means an quick and easy job so it will take a least a week or two for me to make them. I’ll update you all again as soon as I get another update from my manu, hopefully soon!

Pins ordered!

Hey everyone! Surveys are at about 90% if you haven't filled out your survey please do so as quickly as you can. I started the order for the pins last week and artwork has already started, once those are approved production can start. My liaison quoted me about 20-25 days for production which seems very fast so we should have pins earlier in the time frame. There isn't anything to show you at the time but I did as the manu to send me photos, she isn't always good about actually taking photos so fingers crossed we get some in progress shots. I'm using the same manu as all my other pins and they ALWAYS do an amazing job so I can't wait to see them! 

In other news, I was looking through Backerkit and realized that I grossly undercharged for Hati and Skol, I set them at $12 like the other pins and they should be $15. I'll be raising the price so if you backed either you'll see that reflected. If you choose to no longer have them as an add on due to this there is still 7 days to change you orders before your cards are charged. I'm very sorry for the mistake and apologize for any inconvenience it might incur. 

Thank you all again for your support!
