Project Update: 50% Fufillment Done!
5 months ago
– Mon, Nov 17, 2025 at 05:39:50 PM
Hey everyone! Long time no talk. Sorry for the late update!
Firstly, I'll start off by saying that fufillment is about 50% complete! Orders that do not include blankets, keychains, washi tape or stickerbooks are being shipped out/have already been shipped out so keep an eye out on your email for shipping notifications!
Unfortunately we are indeed running behind on our original schedule due to a multitude of setbacks I personally haven't experienced before, but we are trucking along.
The new estimated shipping final date is pushed back to Mid/End of December. The washi tape finally cleared customs and is on it's way, and I'm waiting on a few other things from a different manufacturer!
A couple announcements having to do with the rest of me!:
- I have a few different enamel pins that are WAY larger/more detailed than I've ever made before being manufactured currently, and you're gonna want to see them!
Shipping Late January-Mid February!

Yes, I've recently fell head first into chainsaw man. No, I have no regrets.
Thank you guys for your patience xoxo, sorry for the extreme delays! Never had this type of thing happen before 😅
Campaign Update! | Grading is Finished!

Hello everyone! Wonderful news!
Pins arrived just fine a couple weeks ago! I have been going through the process of grading all of the pins alongside doing 5 back to back cons (I am so tired lmao). Now that all of the pins are graded, I have been going through and putting backing cards on pins, and packing some of the smaller orders!
I am still waiting on my add-ons order, and I just received a little unfortunate news earlier today. The washi tape has been held up in customs- and has been stuck there for a few weeks now. I'm a little nervous that it's going to be sent BACK to China, and I've been trying to get information on it as much as I can. For those of you who had washi tape in your order, please bear with me, as I'm trying to get as much info as I can + get it resolved.
I estimate all of the smaller orders to be packed up by the end of the month, with the add-ons and washi tape coming up behind it.
Thank you so much for your patience! It is much appreciated!

Hello everyone! Have an update for you!
- 1) Manufacturing is kicking into full gear! I have some pin samples that are finished and ready for me to approve (before anyone says it- I know Mimikyu's cheeks aren't orange in this they will be fixed!).
Here's the photos!
2) All the add-ons are also in progress! They're taking a bit longer than normal due to the blankets and other complex items. They are still being worked on!!
3) My apologies for the radio silence! Been working on a lot of different things lately, from my website to my first ita bag. For more frequent contact with me, consider joining my Discord! I'm active in there daily!
I'll be back super soon with another update! Much love xoxo
