Hallo lieblings!
Just a quick update today. It was brought to my attention I forgot to let you lovely pay over time folks know what the deadline for your surveys is! The surveys are due by March 13th! Cards will charge then as well for shipping + any post-campaign add ons!
Thank you so much to those of you who have already filled out the survey. There are currently 18 total backers (across pay over time and regular payment) that still need to fill out their surveys. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT you fill this out ASAP. Without it, I will not be able to ship your rewards! Also, the quantities reported from the survey are what allows me to decide how many of each item I order. If you do not fill out the survey, I cannot guarantee all items will be avaliable at the time of fulfillment!
That's it for now. The weather is breaking and after a very tumultous winter (I feel like I really did get seasonally depressed this time around... I normally manage to avoid it) I'm very happy to have warmer weather and sunny days ahead. My sleep schedule is slowly reverting to normal as well and I'm really excited to be productive and start up my convention season as well!
One final reminder: my next pin campaign, Love is Super Effective, launches on Backerkit next Tuesday, March 10th! It's a series of Pride themed Pokeball mini pins, and a part of a Pride themed collection of projects (called a group collab on Backerkit) named A Pin of Pride! If you back my campaign and at least two others in the collab, you'll get a freebie mini pin from each creator! Plus, since you've backed a previous campaign of mine (this one lol) you'll also get a free sticker as a bonus, yippee!
Check it out HERE!
Be good in the basement,

Hallo lieblings!
Just a short update today, not much to report on in terms of production. But! Surveys have now been sent for Pay Over Time backers!
Please let me know if you have any issues or questions regarding the survey!
Much love everyone!
Katze
PS: I saw the Umamusume movie today and got so pumped to continue to chase my goals and keep pushing forward. Who knew horse girls could fan my flames so hard... I hope to keep pushing to new heights, and I am so happy to have you all along for the journey. I'm so grateful for you all.
PREORDERS CLOSE FEB 28TH @ MIDNIGHT! Reminder for March 1st Pay Over Time, plus upcoming pin projects!

Hallo lieblings!
It's been a minute since I've posted an update! Things are coming along (slowly, but surely). My manufacturers in China have returned to work from a much deserved break over the Lunar New Year holiday. Next update I should have pin samples to share, and hopefully the jet tags in hand (they've been stuck at customs for like a week, ugh!)
The BIG thing I want to say with this update though is that the preorder store will be closing TOMORROW, Feb 28th, at midnight! If someone you know missed the campaign, make sure they know that they are down to the wire to guarantee they get their hands on the goods! I plan to put leftovers up on Etsy after the campaign + preorders have been fulfilled, but I'm not sure when I'll be restocking if things do sell out (hopefully ASAP, but I can't see the future LOL). So, go get those preorders in if you still need to! HERE is the link!
Another reminder is that Pay Over Time backers will have their final payment on March 1st. After that payment is processed, you should receive a survey within a week. Please keep an eye out for a survey over the next week if you selected Pay Over Time!
Finally, I have a few upcoming pin projects unrelated to BTD that I'd like to share with you all! I hope you'll check them out -- even dropping a follow on the prelaunch page helps me with the algorithm!
This June, I'm launching Tails of Tokyo | Modern Day Kitsune Enamel Pins! This campaign is an original art campaign featuring Kitsune themed designs focused on various Japanese subcultures, including gyaru, decora, and lolita! This is a part of the Pin Quest Group Collab! Check it out HEREor by clicking the banner below!
Then, in August, I'm launching Hero's Hoard: Timeless Mini Pins -- a Zelda/OOT themed set of mini pins featuring items from the game in my style! This is a part of the Pocket Change Group Collab! Check it out HEREor by clicking the banner below!
For this year's Pintober, I'm launching Elemental Evolutions -- a series of enamel pins focusing on the Eeevelutions with their type symbols! These are 1.75in pins featuring gold plating and glitter, and an expansion on my very popular Sylveon design from a previous campaign, PokePostage. I'm so excited to get to draw all the Eevees! Check it out HERE or click the banner below!
And finally, for next year's Pintopia, I'm doing a sequel to this year's Pintopia campaign, 64 Bit Memories. That campaign was centered around N64 games, and I polled my backers there to see what they would like to see as a sequel. Gameboy + DS won, so Handheld Memories will officially launch in January 2027! Follow HERE to stay updated, or click the banner!
Curious to see what projects I cook up, updates and WIPs as I design, and have a voice in my design process? Join my Discord HERE for a full Crowdfunding schedule, updates, convention announcements and more!
Oh, and don't worry. I'll be coming back to feed this fandom this November/December with a TPOF pin campaign (and possible faceplate expansion for the bag?!?!) Keep an eye out for that prelaunch page coming SOON! (Probably being shared in a future update, hehe)
Alright, that's it for now. Behave in the basement, kay?
With love,
Katze
Backerkit charges initiated! Keychains in hand, status updates for fulfillment, IMPORTANT update for Chest Keychains!

Hallo lieblings!
I hope you've all had a great start to your February!
Huge thank you to everyone that's filled out their surveys! There are still two of you who haven't so please check that you have and get that done ASAP.
Cards charged for Backerkit surveys on the first, and I'm very happy that the majority of cards charged with no errors! There are twelve of you who need to fix your cards (including preorder backers). If you've not seen a charge come out and you have filled out your survey, please check to see if you got an email from Backerkit asking you to fix your card info.
And, VERY IMPORTANT: If you ordered a Chest Keychain, I forgot to add a selection box for whether you wanted Ren or Strade. Everyone that ordered one (or more) of these has recieved a DM here on Kickstarter asking which you would like. It is VITAL that you respond to this message as I will not be able to pack your order when the time comes without this information.
With that out of the way, I wanted to let you all know that I've placed the order for the pins, and they will be starting production soon!
The embroidered keychains have also been ordered! Same deal for those, I hope to have more pics soon!
As for the bags, I'm finalizing my counts, and expect to place the order sometime this week or next.
China has an upcoming national holiday, so most of my manufacturers will be away for a couple weeks. As soon as I have any WIP pictures to share with you of from them, I'll be posting them here!
I do, however, have two more products in hand that I'm super excited to show you all!
Zav's keychains arrived yesterday, along with the Fox glow in the dark stickers! I absolutely love how they came out!
That's all I've got for you for now. Next update will probably be whenever I get WIP pics, or a reminder that surveys are going out for Pay Over Time folks on the 1st of March, whichever comes first.
Behave in the basement, and stay safe, y'all!
Much love,
Katze

Hallo lieblings!
This is one more reminder that surveys are due on Jan 31st, with cards charged on the 1st. This will mostly be copy and paste from the last update. If you've filled out the survey already, thank you!
There are still 10 of you (not including Pay Over Time) that still need to fill out your Backerkit survey. This survey is VITAL for me to be able to fulfill your rewards for this campaign. It's where you pay for shipping, and give me your address. IF YOU DO NOT FILL OUT THE SURVEY, YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR REWARDS.
Can't find your survey? Click here and enter the email associated with your Kickstarter account to retrieve it!
Additionally, cards will charge for all preorders, shipping fees, and add-ons you purchased via the survey on FEB 1ST.
With all that out of the way, I also wanted to let you know that my next enamel pin campaign is currently LIVE on Backerkit! It's not BTD related but I still wanted to plug it haha. It's a series of pins based on some of my favorite N64 games! Zavlekat (the artist behind the connecting keychains of Ren and Strade) also did Star Fox pins for this campaign.

Much love,
