Hallo lieblings!
I wanted to post a quick update as a reminder that surveys are due on Jan 31st. PLEASE NOTE: This does not include those of you that are using Pay Over Time -- your surveys will be sent out in March!
There are still 20 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.
Click HEREor the banner below to go check it out!
I hope you all are having a good start to your year and staying warm, especially those of you in the areas that are gearing up for that big winter storm.
If nothing else, my basement is warm, so behave down there, kay?
Much love,
Katze
Surveys have been sent! Please fill them out ASAP!

Hallo lieblings, happy Thursday!
I'm so happy to say that surveys have officially been sent and should be hitting your inboxes any minute now (if they haven't already)!
In the survey, you'll pay for your shipping, choose your items, and any additional add ons you might want.
If you have ANY questions feel free to comment them here or send me a message~!
Please fill out the survey ASAP. You won't be charged for shipping + add ons purchased in the survey until the survey closes on Feburary 1st, so please keep that in mind!
EDIT: If you selected Pay Over Time, you will NOT get a survey until your payment is complete in March! This is perfectly normal and fine, don't stress! If this isn't you, you're looking for an email with the subject, "Response Needed — Get your reward for BTD Swappable Ita Bag + Enamel Pins".
I look forward to seeing what items end up being the most popular. If I was a betting cat, I'd place money on the Ren bag being at the top, lmao.
Much love, everyone. Stay safe out there.
Sending well wishes to all of you in my basement,
Katze
Smoke Tests have been sent!!

Hallo lieblings, happy hump day!
Backerkit has finished reviewing the survey! I've gone ahead with sending "smoke tests" -- essentially, a few of you have been chosen at random from each pledge level to get a survey before the rest. You're my beta testers! If you are chosen for smoke test, PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR SURVEY ASAP! If there's anything weird that seems wrong in your survey, please let me know so I can make changes before it goes out to the masses. The sooner I can get a majority of the smoke tests turned in, the sooner I can send surveys to everyone!
Best wishes, guys!

Survey Update! A Slight Delay + Final Add Ons!

Hey guys!
I hope everyone is having a good start to the new year. I wanted to make a quick post letting y'all know that the survey is currently under review by Backerkit, and I'm waiting for their response. I had intended to send it out yesterday, but it took a bit longer to set everything up with how big the campaign got!
Once they approve the survey to go live, I'll send "smoke tests" -- essentially, a few of you will be chosen at random from each pledge level to get a survey before the rest, akin to being beta testers. If you are chosen for smoke test, and there's anything weird that seems wrong in your survey, please let me know so I can make changes before it goes out to the masses. HOPEFULLY I'll be able to send out smoke tests tomorrow. I'll post an update when I do.
I appreciate you all so much! I'm still waiting on my initial payout from Kickstarter, by the way -- hopefully by next Monday I will get it, and I can get some more of the add-ons put into production.
In the meantime, I did want to show you all that the Lawrence dangle keychain is finally done (art block was KILLING me on this design!), along with the final add ons -- Law and Ren's lanyards are done, andddd... the scrunchies are designed too! All of these will be avaliable in the survey as add ons. There are also bundle deals if you want all three! I hope you're looking forward to them!!
Finally, I have some finished pics of Strade's lanyard! I was able to place the order early for his design as I was placing another order with my manufacturer around the time I finished the design. I really love how they look!!!
Best wishes, everyone! Behave in the basement!

FULLY FUNDED! What's Next?

Hallo lieblings!
The campaign has ended! Not to sound like a broken record but, holy shit y'all -- thank you?!? My expectations for this campaign were absolutely blown out of the water. With art being my full time gig, this is a HUGE deal for me. I feel so fired up to keep creating and make sure you all are happy with your rewards!
But, now that we're done, what's next?
- Over the next couple days, you'll be charged for your pledge if you haven't been already.
-
There are currently over 20 of you with failed initial payments. This is normal for crowdfunding, and after Christmas as well, I was expecting it. That said, it's crucial that you fix your payment ASAP. It's okay if it takes a couple weeks, but the sooner the better! If you do not fix your card by the time I send out the survey (I'm planning to send it by the 12th) but you still want your rewards, you will still receive a survey if you have not fixed your payment at this point, but the cost of your pledge will be due along with shipping at that time. If you do not fix your payment, you will not recieve your pledge rewards.
- Expect a survey around January 12th-14th! I'm going to begin setting that up over the next few days. The survey is where you'll choose which rewards you want for rewards for multiple options, add in any last minute add ons (including new add ons I'm working on that will be avaliable!), and where you'll give me your address and pay the shipping cost. Shipping is calculated by weight and region, there are estimates under the shipping tab on the campaign page!
- Surveys will be open until January 26th. I will be giving an option for me to charge your card ASAP after you submit the survey, but if you do not select that option, you will be charged for shipping + any extras on Jan 26th.
- On Feburary 1st, I will start production with my manufacturers! The surveys give me the final tally for everything so I know how much to order.
- After that, it's a matter of waiting for production, then shipping from overseas, then my own fulfillment process of packing your orders.
Below is the timeline in a nice graphic in case you want a TL;DR:
I'm also expecting to see samples for some of the enamel pins in the coming weeks. I'll post another update when either the survey is ready, or I get sent pics/videos of the samples, whichever comes first.
Behave in the basement, my little freaks!
