Meowshrooms - silly little mushroom cats

Hello everyone!
Super quick check-in for fulfillment. I'm done with grading the pins that are here already, and no more bad surprises as far as I can tell!

Now I'm beginning fulfillment. 
The order of fulfillment this time goes from small parcels to large ones, since many small pledges are here completely already while the larger ones are still waiting for remakes. Of course some smaller pledges are still waiting for remakes, so those will still be postponed by a bit.
You will get notified with your tracking numbers soon. 

Non-US orders will be dropped off as I go, while US orders will be sent in batches via Transglobal Express. Please read the backer only section for tracking.

See you on the backer exclusive side...

Hello hello everyone! 
First of all, the remakes have already started! These are the wip pictures that i got for confirmation. If you look at the sheets you can see that they sent the correct ones to the factory this time (with screenprint, with double pin backs, and less blotchy gradient prints). Let's pray that these will be good 😅🤞

But what I wanted to announce is something else entirely: there's an upcoming summer sale and since it takes place this soon after the fulfillment of Meowshrooms I thought I'd offer you combined shipping if you backed Meowshrooms and want to grab something from there too!
The summer sale will not contain any Meowshroom related items this time so everything there is relatively overlap-free with this campaign. A sneak peek of some available items - if you missed any previous campaigns freebies, chances are that I'll have some leftovers of them in the summer sale, plus a lot of the magic tea party stuff because I have soooo many B-Grades of them @.@ 



The old Magic Tea Party sub-collections will be sold in sets and as B Grades, there will be lots of older freebie pins, filler pin lucky scoops or charms that i want to sell out and of course stickers!
There's also a cross collab and returning backer incentive.

If you want me to delay the shipping so you can wait for the summer sale to save money on shipping, then do drop me a quick e-mail until July 3rd with the email address or name that you use for Backerkit. I'll wait with shipping your order and will charge you only the difference in shipping instead of the whole amount in the summer sale.
My email is [email protected]
Please do note that Summer Tea party runs until late July and the fulfillment will mostly take place in August.

And while we're at it, around 30 of you have failed shipping charges for Meowshrooms. Here's your reminder that i won't ship anything until all is paid, and partial payments will be considered a donation once the project closes, which will happen a while after fulfillment. 

Best & stay hydrated! (38°C here today with no AC @.@)

Hello everyone!
Just two days ago I complained about pins being stuck in customs and today I suddenly got a huge parcel! Yay!


But as you can read in the title, a few things went wrong… namely the factory just straight up gave the first samples from last year into mass production and not the actual approved version 💀 It‘s most apparent in the golden waxcap that has the wrong cap color still (it‘s supposed to be like the small yellow mushroom). They didn‘t send me a picture of the mass produced version before shipping either…. Yeah….
Most of the rainbow cats had some changes between the first and final version. Some pins also are missing a pin post (portobello; thats why she‘s so off balance on the hoop) or missing screenprint layers (the yellow and pink ones have no highlights).

The good news is, there‘s a plan and it probably doesn‘t delay everything by toooo much. Since the parcel contained literal thousands of pins, I will be busy for a hot second with quality control, packing etc anyways. The two most popular pins, the ink cap and fly agaric cats, don‘t need remakes. Neither do the tea pins or any of the minis.

And the factory is already remaking the pins, and told me that it should only take 2-3 weeks. In those 2-3 weeks I can already start to fulfill the orders without the affected pins. So if you only backed few pins then chances are, your pins will be out soon! 
Your cards charge today I believe, and after that I‘ll give you some time to check your addresses while I grade the pins.


Tl;dr: anyone who backed Caesar Mushroom, Gold Waxcap, Rosy Bonnet, Parrot Waxcap or Portobello has to wait a bit for remakes. In the meantime I‘ll ship out everything else.

I hope you all still enjoy the other pins - I personally am extremely happy with the overall look of the pins, it just sucks that the details aren‘t right in this batch yet.

That‘s all for today. 

Take care and stay hydrated!

Hello everyone!
Just a super quick sign of life - the pins have been shipped in the first week of June, but they haven't arrived yet unfortunately. I'm in touch with the shipping carrier but they've been hit by the customs inspection lottery it seems. I'll do my best to resolve this as quickly as I can.

That being said, I'm going to charge cards soon so there'll be enough time to fix the cards and then when fulfillment time finally rolls around, everything will be ready.

Thank you all for your patience!
