Thank you for your tremendous support of this campaign! We’ve produced a couple more species for you to enjoy based on the ones you’ve been suggesting as a BIG THANK YOU for smashing the last goal!

The next few weeks are going to be focused on finishing the artwork for all the new species — getting the lines ready, the flags, etc. It’s going to be an exciting time for us to get all these pins ready!

See you soon!

The owl is unlocked! Let's hear it for the Cobra and Red Fox!

You guys have unlocked the Barn Owl. What comes next?

In the time it took us to prepare the next stretch goals, you've already gotten halfway to the Cobra, which unlocks at $150,000! Wow!

We have also prepared the next goal after that, which is the Red Fox! You'll see this adorable cutie unlocked at the $160,000 point. Now's a great time to upgrade your pledge to a higher tier to get all the cute animal pins you could possibly ever want...  💕  

The deadline is approaching...

We're coming up at about one week left in the campaign. We have a lot of exciting additions to release in the coming week for the last leg of the Kickstarter, and we're so excited to have all of you along for the ride! Let's see how far we can go -- we've been listening to all your species suggestions and making up a list of future stretch goals based on your recommendations. 

It's an exciting week ahead. Let's go!

Pastel Collection Preview!
almost 5 years ago – Mon, Jul 08, 2019 at 05:01:36 PM

We are now the most funded enamel pin Kickstarter of all time.

You've made us #1. Together we accomplished this--not just the staff of Fursona Pins, but every single one of our backers. Thank you so much for all of your support, enthusiasm, and love for this project!

Here's a preview of the Pastel Rainbow Collection you just unlocked...

These are some really beautiful pins, aren't they? They're the design and brainchild of our campaign's colorist, DJ Mae (who also owns the custom Fursona Pin, Harvey #340!). DJ Mae designed colors for the Pastel Rainbow and the Unity Collection.

While we take a quick breather from all of the excitement... if you're still thrilled about pastels...

Did you know the backers are getting closer to unlocking another enamel pin freebie -- the pastel Rainbow Byte? This is a Kickstarter exclusive pin for this campaign. It's available for $15 in Backerkit after the campaign... oooooooor... when we hit 1,250 Patron members, we'll be tossing it in as a freebie to all of our backers!

Our Patreon is a wonderful community of pin loving folks. Come join us!

See you soon!

We did it!

You smashed the final stretch goal. The raven is home!

We did it. The raven is our last stretch goal and you've smashed it by nearly $2,000.

Together, you completed the campaign -- 100% Complete!

What happens now?

Now, we're going to enjoy the last few hours of the campaign and start preparing for the next steps. Be sure to let your friends know about the campaign so they can get Pride Pins as well before the deadline!

After the Campaign Ends...

If you've never backed a Kickstarter campaign before, here's how it goes:

• On July 1, when the campaign ends, Kickstarter is going to start charging your cards.
• You have seven days to provide valid payment if the payment bounces. Be sure to update your card during this time if your payment declines!
• Kickstarter will take about a week to process the payments. From past experience, the campaign's funds will deposit into our bank account sometime around July 15.
• We'll launch the Backerkit survey sometime around July 21. This is to ensure we have plenty of time to get the survey fully populated with all the pins! You'll get a link to fill out your survey so we know what pins you want.
• The survey is where you'll indicate your choice of pins (animal and flag combinations) as well as select your desired freebies. You'll also be able to purchase add-ons -- additional pins, cool items like stickers, posters, and so forth. You'll even be able to use PayPal to purchase add-ons on Backerkit!
• We'll collect survey responses until around August 4. At that time, we'll start finalizing manufacturing counts and put in the manufacturing order.
• In Early November, we'll see the pins start to be delivered to us from the manufacturer. Fulfillment of the product will begin in November as well.
• At this point... packages will start to arrive! You'll get pins, and they will be adorable!

This has been an amazing adventure together. We're excited to begin this project with the help of all our fantastic backers. Thank you for supporting Fursona Pins... we're excited to bring you the best Pride Pins we can!

Onward!

It's coming! We're closing in on most funded enamel pin KS ever!
almost 5 years ago – Mon, Jul 01, 2019 at 12:02:16 PM

When we hit $215,000, we will be the most funded enamel pin Kickstarter of all time. You made this happen. You're amazing!

$215,000 marks the point where we release the pastel collection, a beautiful set of recolored gray animals with rainbow accents and a gorgeous pastel flag!

But that's not the end. After we hit $215,000, we need to keep going strong for another $10,000 to unlock the final two animals! Let's hear it for the Axolotl and the Raven!

New Pin Tiers -- 3 Pins, 5 Pins, 6 Pins, 7 Pins

We've heard your request for additional tiers to get more pins. If you want to upgrade your pledge to get more pins (or you just want to slot yourself into the new correct tier because you've been adding $8 for each extra :) ) head on over to Manage Pledge and adjust your pin tier!

It's the final countdown, folks! Let's see how far we go!

Share this campaign with your friends and make sure they don't miss out on getting an adorable enamel pin to represent them! Don't forget that Pride Pins make great gifts, too :)
