PINS ON THEIR WAY~!!

Hi everyone~!
Phew, what a journey this campaign has been~!
I am happy to say that on Tuesday morning I shipped out all of the parcels for this campaign (bar 2 which had tshirts that are yet to arrive!) and they are now on their way to you! Some of the local parcels have already arrived to their new homes.
I had my 2nd COVID jab yesterday and I am feeling tired, sore and a bit woozy, so I shall keep this short and sweet.
Thank you all so much for supporting this campaign!!! You have all been absolutely wonderful, and I want to assure you that I am already designing the next series of pins. As soon as I have any updates on it, I will be sure to post here so please keep an eye out in the coming weeks!
In the meantime, please make sure to post about your new pins on your socials and tag me on Instagram and/or Twitter~! Also please consider keeping an eye out on my TikTok, and if you want to socialize a little bit with me and my friends, come join our Twitch family~!
Big hugs to you all - Gilles ʕ •ᴥ•ʔゝ☆
NOTE: If there are any issues with your order, please send me an email on [email protected] as that is the best place to get in touch with me. Thank you so much!
First Batch of pins has arrived!

EXCITING NEWS EVERYONE~!
The first box of pins has arrived to my home here in the UK mid last week.
We had a wonderful unboxing stream on Twitch and showed off each pin to our audience. They have been quite well recieved!!
I am slowly going through them, putting them on backing cards and storing them neatly. I will then be checking each pin for any visible defects and then patiently wait for my next batch of pins to arrive something this week or the next. Once all the pins are on backing cards and checked for quality, I will start packing orders bit by bit.
I do apologise that these pins will be arriving later than anticipated but I promise that they are well worth the wait~!
If you'd like to have a look at the ones I have put on backing cards thus far, please check my TikTik profile and have a look at the videos I have been posting there.
Now to get back to more pins and backing cards~!
(This is a secret cry for help! Pls send assistance! T_T TOO MANY PINS~!)

MANUFACTURING UPDATE + PHOTOS
almost 5 years ago

Hi everyone,
I hope this update finds you all well and in good health.
It has been of a difficult week dealing with the pin manufacturer. The pins should have arrived to me by now but some difficulties at the factory have caused some delays. I have been told that they had some issued with some of the machinery which needed repairing, and due to high volume of orders, ours was slowed down in production.
Upon sending me photos of the now complete order this weekend, I noticed some changes were made without my concent to the colours on a small portion of the pins. Some of the hair colours was used on the ears of the characters, or on one ear. This was rather upsetting after this long wait.
I have been discussing with my manufacturer on how to rectify this situation as soon as possible, and I'm afraid these pins will have to be remade. These pins include Rapunzel, Merida, Belle and both Ariel in gown.
In the meantime, I am going to be sent the pins which are finished so I can start packing and grading the ones which are done. This will hopefully allow me to send out some smaller orders as well.
I have attached some photos below of the finished designs. I hope you like them.

PRODUCTION
almost 5 years ago

Hi everyone,
I hope this message finds you well.
I have been getting a few Kickstarter Update Requests and I'm afraid the pins are still in production and I will not have much to show you until the end of the month. This was to be expected with the high volume of pins being producted and the large number of quantities for each one.
Since we last spoke, the artwork was approved based on what you had seen during the campaign, the payment was sent to the manufacturer and production began. Now, we wait.
But don't be discouraged. I still have some photos of the process to share with you.
Right now, the base molds are complete and they are creating the enamel paints for each pin. Dont worry about the overfills, this is perfectly normal during this stage. Once this process is done, the plating is added and polished, and then we will have our pins.
If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment down below. I will reply to you as soon as possible.
Best Regards
Gilles ʕ •ᴥ•ʔゝ☆
