Half-Way Point

Hi everyone! Though there hasn't been any movement, I still wanted to drop a very quick update. We're at the half way point of the campaign, and a few people might be worried about the lack of movement. I just wanted to assure you that this is completely normal. It's why, depending on the type of kickstarter, the length doesn't always matter. For me, my most successful campaigns (those with the majority, or all of the stretch goals unlocked) are always like that. Active up front, active at the end, dead in the middle. So don't worry just yet!
The holiday in China is now over, and the rep working with me on these pins was kind enough to send me a video! She also sent me the weight so I will be able to make the shipping on backerkit as accurate as possible.
I know I said it with the pictures, but I am SO happy with this pin! I also like the fact that it's a decently thick one. Let me know if you guys have any questions!
Mars Unlocked + Freebie Sticker

Hey everyone!
Since my last update we were able to unlock Mars, and we're actually very close to Jupiter. As always, if you could share this campaign across socials, that would help out a lot to get the rest of the swords unlocked!
Some good news for many of you, but not quite great news for me. I got an email from the company where I planned on getting the freebie sticker from about a sale. Stickerapp doesn't often have sales, so I decided to jump on it. I was really trying not to use my credit card, so I'm still hoping that I'll be able to cover this. If not, well, anyone who backed for 2+ pins will be getting a free sticker anyway!
I only ordered a limited amount though, so right now I can't put them up as add-ons since I'm not sure how many I will need. If the numbers allow for it, I WILL be putting some up on backerkit to grab after the campaign.
Speaking of freebies...I was organizing a few things the other day, and came across a huge amount of sticker sheets from my Rainbow Crystal campaign, which was also SM inspired. So after running a quick IG poll, I decided that I'm going to give them to everyone in this campaign as an additional little thank you. This is what they look like:
So everyone automatically gets one of these too!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Two More Unlocked + Sample Picture

Hello everyone, and for those who have joined us since my first update, welcome! I tend to update projects pretty frequently, wanting to keep you guys as up to date as possible.
Firstly, both Chibi and Mercury are unlocked, and we are well on our way to Mars!
For this project I am working with a new manufacturer, so I decided to get a sample made of the first pin, and honestly, it looks amazing!
I love how the colours turned out! They're exactly how I hoped they'd look, though keep in mind that this may not be the best lighting. I'm also happy with how the details turned out. I filled in a couple lines with metal that were too small, but I was a little worried about some other spots. They turned out great though! I asked for a video so we can see the sparkle and shine in action, but given that Golden Week is beginning (and there are a lot of factory shut downs due to a coal shortage), that could take a while.
Let me know what you guys think!
As always, please help me share this campaign so we can get all of the designs unlocked. I'm feeling pretty confident right now (my campaigns where we do manage to start unlocking goals tend to be very end-heavy), but the more we can spread this around, the better!
Initial Goal Met

Thank you all so much! Less than 12 hours in and we already reached the initial goal! I'm blown away!
So what's next? We're very close to unlocking our second pin as well (less than $40 as of writing this). If you know anyone else who might be interested, send them our way. We have plenty of time to try and unlock the other pins.
I mentioned it in the campaign, but I also wanted to let you guys know that I'm looking into a bonus freebie that everyone would get! I'll keep you guys up to date on that.
Thank you so much for everything so far. You're all amazing! 🥰
