Monthly Update: Approved, & Lockdown Survey
13 days ago – Thu, Aug 06, 2026 at 09:50:51 PM

Long Awaited Approvals!

Finally all the pins are approved, and we are production ready! The final pins are pretty good now, and I'm locking the survey to get final counts soon!

Survey will be locked down August 18th. 

When I lock down survey, you will not yet be charged shipping, that will be once pins get in. Backers can update what pins they want based on updated samples, add-on any additional pins if desired, or update address details until the 18th. I'll be away on a trip with family till then, so I'll lock survey once I get back. As a note, you should still be able to update addresses up until I'm ready to ship your order and charge shipping to the card on file, lock down should only affect your pin selection.

Preorders will also be closed when survey lock down too~!


As a visual reminder, here are the other pins to help you narrow down your selection in the survey if needed.

They have come a long way, and hopefully will be faster in production than they were at sampling.

Notes for minor production tweaks:
Hibiscus - None
Tiger Lily - None
Sunflower - None
Chrysanthemum - None
Cornflower - Minor fix to screen print thickness to preserve detail
Iris - None
Foxglove - Fix on areas that were hard enamel that were made solid
Plumeria - Slight adjustment to make the belly gradient go darker, and fill the left paw
Dahlia - None
Hops - None
Sakura - None
Hops Bookmark- Slight green adjustment to body color so less gold
Sakura Bookmark- Make the dark brown body more clear

Next update when survey lock down!

Monthly Update: June / July
about 1 month ago – Thu, Jul 09, 2026 at 11:41:33 AM

Finally making some heckin' headway with the dragons, the manufacturer was focusing elsewhere instead of chronologically with the projects I've sent to them. That seems to be what was bogging down sample production. Though we still are in the thick of it, at least some things are getting sample updates finally.

Three pins seem to be almost done with their samples, just waiting on clear fill and screen print on top. When these 3 are ready and Hibiscus is confirmed we will finally be ready for Survey to be sent out.

On top of that, Bookmark samples finally have a finished visual and are pretty good. There will be some small tweaks in color for production (not significant enough to warrant a re-sampling), but they are otherwise approved.



Otherwise, I'm hoping this month we will be done with samples, because I'm very excited to see the set complete!

Design Statuses:

  • Hibiscus Dragon - sample in progress
  • Tiger Lily Dragon - Sample approved
  • Sunflower Dragon - Sample approved

Reminders:

Discord since that makes it easier to contact me quickly if I've managed to forget to update here. Link HERE to the Discord server. Which is dramatically faster than here, and faster than email.

  • Survey will stay open though until samples are complete
  • Until Survey lock, you can manually update your address, add more pins / stickers, or select different stuff if you have changed your mind. You can even message me if you want to swap around your stickers for pins to some degree.
  • The Pre-Order store will be open until samples finalize as well. So if you missed out, you still have a chance to get them steeply discounted.

If you are a backer that can't find your survey, feel free to email me so I can try to help you out. Otherwise you can try this first: Survey Recovery Page

Monthly Update: January

January Sample Progress

Progress is still going annoyingly slow right now, we are still waiting on updated samples with the pearlescent revisions under the clear enamel. They have been prioritizing my older Patreon pin club project (from 2024) that was the most behind, which is why samples are taking so long. I'll post as soon as we get something with a photo update from the manufacturer of all the sample updates when I get them. However, I do have these 6 at the half-way point without their screen printing effects, UV effects, and fills.

As you can see, overall they are looking so far a ton better than the last visual update. Hopefully samples will be completely done soon.

Thank you for your continued patience.
