RESPONSE NEEDED if you got blue moth!
10 months ago – Tue, Nov 25, 2025 at 06:22:05 PM

Hey everyone, need to know if you think this is ok or not.

First, ignore the epoxy spillage at the bottom wings they said this was a sample they held onto because the quality had issues and that's why it wasn't with the rest in production.

They said that "silver" enamel was put behind the pink translucent enamel. That was done without asking. Because of it, the blue metal can't be seen through the pink at all, so it's very neon still but not purply like it was supposed to be. But do you think this looks okay?


I made a quick poll and if it isn't unanimously okay I'll ask them to remake that. They did say that if it's not okay that they'll redo it since they didn't ask first, it's just all been so long that I want to get you guys the rest of the pins asap. Crazy because the green moth is going just fine, only this blue one is having all these issues




Thanks guys, let me know what you think

Moths are almost done!

Hi everyone! As you can see, the moths have now been plated so they probably will take only 2 more weeks at most. This factory is much faster. But, you can probably see there was a huge miscommunication for some reason and they made 2 different molds.They should still both resemble the artwork because the blue one was supposed to just have the metal's blue visible up top anyway

This week I'll begin packing. The orders that can currently go out are anything excluding: dangos or chance at dangos, lemonades, moths, Early Summerween bat coin (those are almost done too)


So those will start going out this month and once that wave is out then the stuff to be able to fulfill the others should start coming in and we can keep going
Also we got the stickers in 5 of the designs had issues (3 dangos, bonbon and Carmel apple) so will need to be remade but the rest are good
Thanks!

Fulfillment delays

Hey, so unfortunately I've got a couple serious issues delaying being able to get your packages out.

The first is that a few pins have quality issues in most or all, mostly the "white" dango which was supposed to be a warm off-white with white print instead being...grey


I requested they remake them because it just looks...bad, and it also means the pic they sent me a while ago that I approved of the metal colors was edited or just in really inaccurate lighting. Because it was absolutely not grey in that pic:


Not as warm as we wanted but not the tone it came out as either. She also lied about the rest of the pins being fine because there really are a lot of green and pink with random splotches in the eyes...

The other designs most affected are pink lemonade and the bonbon, the first has a ton of metal issues all on the eye boba, and the bonbon's problem is the print is incomplete and not lined up right

Because of this I can't do dango orders or blind bag orders over 3+ right now but about half each of the lemonades and bonbons are okay so some of those with no issues can go out.

The non-pin-related issue is because of the govt shutdown. I'm putting that in backer only info.

Geode pets ends tomorrow and currently available to pledge for are catfish, lizard, and snake! Please share the campaign on social media if you know anyone who'd be interested it really does help alot.

sorry!!!

Here it is

Surveys are all locked and more geode pets info
12 months ago – Sat, Oct 11, 2025 at 12:42:10 PM

Surveys already filled out have been locked and will be charged Oct 13th 3PM ET!


Here's more Geode Pets info:



I have 4 designs done! The base goal is the ruby lizard I showed before and the freebies (returning and cross collab), the lizard will be 37mm wide and the amethyst dragon will be 38mm tall, the dark purple on the dragon's frame means recessed metal (carved out) and not enamel
(These are mockups to show where the glittery effects will be. Everywhere basically)

Next is the sapphire catfish and garnet snake, the 1st and 2nd stretch goals:
40mm tall including whiskers, then 37mm tall snake

Also to mention the returnee freebie mini bats again, here they are side by side


I had to change the project subtitle because these are actually going to have to be soft enamel with epoxy since the glitter printing I want to do under clear enamel isn't possible with the vibrant metal I want to use.

I'd also like to draw an emerald frog and pearl armadillo soon so those would be the next things to unlock if we make it all the way there. If we get to that point I'll do a poll with more options and sketches of them to vote on!

Thanks!! I'm really excited!!
