Sponsor List

Here's the two sponsors that were pledged last minute on the campaign, and then the full list of sponsored species -- if you're curious to see how they turned out!

Remember, if you want to purchase extra pins, you can do so in Backerkit. No worries if you wanted to grab more!

What Happens Now...

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

• On January 11th, now that the campaign has ended, 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 January 18th.
• We'll launch the Backerkit survey sometime around January 19th. 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 (which animal, if you want a variant of it, etc) as well as opt-in to the freebies if desired. You'll also be able to purchase add-ons -- additional pins, cool items like stickers, lanyards, and so forth. You'll even be able to use PayPal to purchase add-ons on Backerkit!
• We'll collect survey responses until around February 2nd. At that time, we'll start finalizing manufacturing counts and put in the manufacturing order.
• In Early April, we'll see the pins start to be delivered to us from the manufacturer. Fulfillment of the product will begin in April as well as we start shipping them to you. With the number of backers this campaign has, we anticipate we will finish with all fulfillment around early to mid May.
• At this point... packages will start to arrive! You'll get pins, and they will be adorable!

Additional FAQ

• When the Backerkit survey begins, you'll be able to change tiers and purchase add-ons (including additional pins) to your heart's content.
• You can change your address in Backerkit up until the point where the project begins shipping, or sometime in mid April.
• Backerkit takes both credit card and PayPal for payments.

See you soon!

Thank you!

This campaign has been a ton of fun, and we're so excited to bring you all of these beautiful pins. Watching the funding total jump on the last day has been a ride, and we hope you enjoyed the excitement and joy in our communities as much as we did!

We probably would have reached $130,000 if we'd had a minute or two left for another sponsor to complete their pledge, but unfortunately the timer cut them off. Still, we got close enough for the Red Fox variants, so we'll produce those as well with the rest of the pins.

Until Next Time

Our team of artists is going to be hard at work finalizing the sponsor artwork for the sponsored species. In the meantime, consider joining our community on Patreon. This is the main hub of activity for Fursona Pins, where you can watch all the cool stuff we create. We'd love to see you there! There's so many of you we've never met before and we're excited to meet every one of you.

What's Next: The Survey

After the campaign closes, Kickstarter will start charging your cards for your pledge. It takes about seven days for Kickstarter to finish charging for a campaign, after which the survey will come out. Expect the survey to drop on January 19th.

What's the survey, you might ask? This is an e-mail from Backerkit (our pledge manager) that asks you what pins you want for your pledge, as well as asks for your shipping address. It also gives you the opportunity to buy add-ons (additional pins, more LE Kickstarter Exclusive pins, lanyards, etc), including with PayPal which is pretty useful!

Freebie Packages and Add-Ons

We've decided that for this campaign's freebies, there's going to be one Canines vs Felines lanyard, and a small assortment of random stickers from all three groups (canine, feline, vulpine). You'll be able to opt-in for this Freebie Pack, as well as be able to opt-in for the Mega Pin. Lanyards are perfect to put your pins on!

In Backerkit, when you're taking the survey, you'll also be able to purchase Domestic Dog, Wild Dog, Domestic Cat, Wild Cat, and Fox lanyards and sticker packs--in case there's something specific you're looking for.

There's still a few hours left, so let's see how far we can go!

See you soon!
