Hi all,

I know we still have about 19 hours or so left, but I'm going to be flying cross country when this thing ends and so won't really have access for most of the day so I wanted to get in a thank you ahead of time here!

I did notice as of writing that we dipped below the $5k needed for the second filler pins' goal. At this point, I'm not going to re-lock it. They will go into production with everything else, unless something drastic happens. But obviously, not going to complain if people want to push the final funding up over $5k here in the last half day!

Once I'm back from con (if you're going to Katsucon in MD, come say 'hi' in the artist alley!), I'll start getting stuff ready for surveys and ordering and corresponding if there are any backer issues.

The Home Stretch!

Hi all,

First off, want to say thank you to all who've hung in here with me! To those at the start who helped get this off to such an amazing start, to those who came on in the middle during the slow period that every crowdfunding campaign deals with and those who are coming on here at the end to help us finish strong.

As of writing, we just unlocked the second filler pin set! So if you were waiting to see if that would be available to either get or add-on to an existing pledge it is!

Let's finish this strong!

New Stretch! More Filler Pins!

Fresh to market: More filler pins! You asked, so here they are. These will unlock when we hit $5,000.

Set will include four 1" pins: soy sauce, napa cabbage, persimmon and garlic. Backers to the filler pin set level will be able to choose from either set. It can also be added to existing pledges through the Add-On Shop. Let's do it!

New Pin: Honey Butter Chips!

Big update with lots of info here!

Thank you to all who've helped this fund so beyond what I expected! I've been scrambling to come up with new designs here, but you're all funding faster than I can design so the new pin is already unlocked!

I did a poll over the weekend for what people wanted to see next and Honey Butter Chips won. It is now in the Add-On shop.

New pledge tiers have been added as well!
  • Jimin's Muse pin has it's own pledge tier if you want. He's also in the add-on shop if you want to add this super detailed pin to your current pledge level.
  • Since we've unlocked so many pins, there is now a 13 pin level.

More Pins Coming
Bibimbap was tied with the Honey Bun plush after the chips so I'll be working on vectoring that one next. I'm also working on another super detailed design - a fierce looking haetae ready to fight for justice. And there MIGHT be another filler pin set of more Korean food ingredients if I can get these others done fast enough. Stay tuned!

Next Stretch Goals - You Vote!!

Jimin's Muse pin unlocked last night and since we're only on the second day and don't have any intent of just resting on our laurels....I've created a poll to determine the next stretch goal(s).

More Korean food pins! I don't have the sketches just yet, but I have either bibimbap or honey butter chips on the list.

Plush! I actually have a few plush already prototyped and so was wondering if people wanted a second shot at either Honey Bun or Cinnamon Bun. As plush, these would definitely have a much higher goal to hit funding, but if people want them, I'm willing to give it a shot. (I know they're not Korean related other than being designed by a Korean, but it's REALLY rough to try to get funding for a plush off a sketch).

So make sure to get in your vote! Poll closes Sunday so I can prep stuff.
