REMAKES HAVE BEGUN thank you for your patience!

Angel's remake process has started, and if required to reduce the flaw rate of the white sparkly "skin," they will be using another pearl/mica method to make it. It's kind of play it by ear right now because the rep does feel really bad about the whole batch being crummy, and I don't want to be taking up a ton of their time and materials either, so I'm trying to make sure all details are ironed out properly this time.

As mentioned in previous posts, she's really bad quality overall. I have enough to fulfill the campaign orders IF we ultimately decide to keep the enamel materials the same, but I don't have any to fulfill gacha or if people were to add her to their surveys, she's about 80% with very major issues:

Most of the problem pins are because the pearl colors are inexplicably all bleeding into each other in the hair, but many also have random blue and black speckles throughout all the white pearl, which is their "skintone"... If we do decide to change the pearl white to something else that's less prone to debris and easier for the workers to keep in the right cavities, then I will need to fulfill all of the orders via the remakes because you all should have the same type of pin.

Demon's 100 pins are being sent straight back to China, they paid the shipping so I don't have to do that. That's GREAT too because I looked it up, and uhhh it would've cost me $340 to send back on my own. I'm upset that she doesn't glow like she's supposed to on her skin, but at least her eyes do still glow:


While we were at it, they had me include the 12 flawed Golems that were missing enamel too, because if they agree that they're not good they'll remake at least that many...so they say. If the printing works out, whether or not they can fix those 12 Golem I will be super, super grateful for that - But, that currently remains to be seen. There's also about 20 more Golems with substantial issues but they ignored those and just focused on the ones with empty cavities.


They've also got Gorgon the proper colors again:

Gorgon was initially made with the wrong gradient. After much back and forth, she is being remade correctly. Details can be found here.

However, if you're someone who got Gorgon who PREFERS the incorrect-gradient version please let me know and you can have her, they're mostly good quality just not matching the artwork...

And as I showed the backers of the first campaign last week, TV Cat is practically all perfect!!


Mermaid is about 3/4 finished...she just requires the clear enamel/epoxy/whatever they're topping it off with, and then printing...not sure why they plated her first...


Lastly, here's an updated Dullahan.



I've been reassured that the navyish color is a static glitter/pearl effect now, the lighting is just poor and it isn't visible. The reason I wanted that to be a very faint pearlescent (and not swirly) is to resemble high-opacity nylon stockings. The glow effect is still really good despite the added color, which they were worried about, but it looks great to me:

So she's now wonderful! The only disappointment I have about Dullahan is that her nails look a bit dark, we did actually try a much brighter color with this 2nd sample but the plating affects the shade way more than anticipated because the cavities are so tiny... There's also the chance the lighting is just totally washing it out, it's like that in photos I take of Zombie from campaign 1 somehow and her nails wind up looking grey in some pictures...but they're super vibrant.


Next update will be after I've submitted my surveys for review for this campaign, so in about a week, with info on new stuff (mostly keychains) that will be available in it! Thanks.




Happy new year!!

The batch of pins that was Angel and all geode pets came out really atrocious. I'll include more info in the next update but remake quantities are currently being negotiated. We had to grade every single one and then I, as the contact,  had to take videos of each individual one and email about it so it was a massive chore.

I'm still being told Mummy and Dullahan should ship to me in about a week, and Gorgon's printing is finally the right color for real. Golem unfortunately needs some remakes too because a huge number of her are  entirely missing a fingernail and/or have some enamel mix-ups. However, I have enough to fulfull current orders of her (cross-collab backers) but I don't have enough for survey or gacha stock which is why I need remakes.

1 example:


GOOD NEWS is that it took very very little time to grade TV cat because she looks great!!



TV Cat, Golem, Demon, Gorgon, and WIP Mermaid are all from the same super expensive manu. The end quality of the pins is some of the best I've EVER received including attention to detail, and they're super fast, but their graphic designers are the absolute worst I have ever had to work with in the last 9 years. 

I'll have pics for you of the Golem stickers soon too they came out amazing!

Have a great end of the year. 💜


Super quick Demon update!

She looks hilarious to me without the majority of her printing. So far so good!

Angel is done but I made a small mistake...will elaborate when she's arrived and I also know the flaw rate at that point, she was made independently of everyone else so it will be soon.




I will know soon how Demon's flail is doing and what's up with the others! Mermaid's deposit was also paid from Holiday Market earnings so she's now being started.

Manufacturing updates!!

Here are TV Cat and Gorgon update images I shared to the other campaign already, and Golem!

Demon is coming along too!


And a semi-update on Mummy and Dullahan:

This factory told me their screenprinting machine(? I thought this was done by hand for pins, so the fact they even have one is impressive to me) is currently under repair, so they felt bad and UV printed without added charge for some samples so that I could see what all the colors and placement are like. However, the screenprint colors will be presumably most accurate anyway because I chose color codes for them, vs UV printing being done with ink by...well, a printer. So I just used these as compositional reference mostly.

The feedback I gave was that Mummy has some green in her bangs and that shouldn't be there. Dullahan's purple shouldn't be swirly, her blue "face" is supposed to be a different color, and her nails as well. There were a couple spots they couldn't cut out like I wanted them to, but overall I think the molds look really really good!!

They said they'll fix it asap, and they won't UV print - they'll wait to do print en masse until they can screenprint again. UV print on pins has its place, I'm doing it on some of my snake pins coming up, but I don't want it on these ones, it's hard for me to explain. Too 3D and grainy? 

I paid the first half of Mermaid, too! That proof process was actually pretty lengthy because she's complicated, but she's now approved and her mold is in queue. And Angel is still in early production so I haven't seen progress pics yet. 

Thanks for your patience!! I've been having very severe hand pain so I'm trying to stagger my campaign updates (not doing any 2 the same day) so I don't keel over. I'm excited about these girls and I hope you are too! 




Progress! ALSO liquid shaker tease
11 months ago – Thu, Nov 20, 2025 at 01:36:31 PM

Hey all, I have a couple progress pics of two of the girls:



The last update I got on the green mini bat also shows that it's just awaiting printing. It's almost much closer to the colors I asked for than the pink one wound up being (came out more...purpley? unfortunately).


Angel is in production now too, which makes everyone underway!

I thought about it and I think that the surveys should probably go out at the beginning of January. Most people, myself as a backer included, like to fill them out as soon as they're sent out so they don't forget. I won't be charging them until the pins arrive, likely in February ahead of CNY, but right before the Holidays and also overlapping with the existing Holiday Market (lots of participating backers!) would be really poor timing financially. 

So, what that means:

  • I'm likely to pay upfront for Mermaid if my Holiday Market funds allow me to!
  • Survey would then of course include Mermaid but would be to FUND Harpy, Kuchisake-Onna, and Hedge Witch if my carpal tunnel allows me to finish her...
  • My gacha snakes will also be in the survey for it as possible add-ons because they'll be either in progress or finished at that point:


I also wanted to say that I dug a bit into my misc business funds (from Retro Game Con thanks to Fantasy Fox Creations!!!) and also paid for 3 new eye candy and 1 eye boba liquid shaker designs to begin production. I don't have any updates on the eye candies yet (made based on the poll results) but here's the eye boba!!


I love it and can't wait. I really needed to get these last bucketlist things out there before I closed and I'm so IMMENSELY grateful to everyone helping that happen!! I'm sickeningly happy with all these eye-related liquid shakers though, so, like quite a bit of my pre-existing designs I'm going to try to find a way to tie them into my OCs so that I can keep them around as game dev-related merch.

In the future, Fantasy Fox and I also may run a joint campaign to make our own custom liquid shaker molds (and again on my end I would "give" the keychain to a character so the merch can stick around indefinitely) because there's only so many days in a year, and tariff nonsense and crazy xenophobic tantruming by the regime really ruined the momentum at which I needed bucketlist things tackled (amongst everything else). However, those are OBSCENELY expensive.

The only other things I have going on that I need to finish are getting my cat paw septums finished (my gem cutter suddenly quit on me and my jeweler has no idea where to find a new one, so they've been sitting gemless at the factory ...), and I also have some new pudding keychain designs in the works. Ideally I can also get a jirai kei bandages set made, but that's been postponed for about half a year so I'm not sure if it will still happen before end of 2025. Thanks to the holiday market hitting 1.5k I am able to take the snakes off that list 💜🐍 I'm not done designing things! But other ideas will all be intentional merch for my game(s) and aren't me scratching unafilliated creative itches like these list items are.

Any of these keychain bucketlist items (including new puddings) that arrive before Holiday Market fulfillment ends will enter the chance pool for the grab boxes.

Thanks for your support and patience!

PS: My combo of carpal and cubital tunnel has finally reached the point of admitting to myself I need proper imaging/nerve assessments to possibly pursue surgery. I have always avoided it out of fear because it's of course worse in my dominant hand, and everything I do in life is affected by that hand. But that also means everything I do in life makes it hurt worse. I saw rheumatologist today for the first time and left with a ton of referrals and a lot of labs having been done, so hopefully my current severe flare ends soon. I always am way too verbose, but typing hurts a lot now even if I use the swype function on my phone keyboard (which I almost always do) so updates will have to become less frequent across all campaigns. 

Since it completely affects not just my ability to ✨️Art✨️ but also my ability to do just about anything else, this will also affect my shows coming up, my packing speed, and my already slow (due to other health issues) game dev progress :( so if I do need surgery before the estimated fulfillment period of this campaign I'll let you know.
