Surveys and Production!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 06, 2021 at 03:28:49 PM

Hello!


There's still about 50 surveys that have not been completed yet. I will be locking surveys on Sunday so please make sure to fill it out before then to get your rewards. If you'd also like to make changes  to your survey responses or add anything to your pledge you'll have until then to do so. 


I've finalized the proofs with my manufacturer this morning and production will begin tomorrow. Everything looks perfect so I'm so excited to see all of these come to life! 


I did make a small change to the James Pond design. His watch face is now a lighter shade of gray to have some contrast between the watch and his skin tone. 

Colors shown are for the manufacturer key and not true to final deisgn.

Have a wonderful week everyone! 

Production Begins!

Hello everyone! 


Just a quick update to let you guys know that stickers/charms have been paid for and are in production. I've been talking with my pin manufacturer to get final counts squared away. The pins are now paid for and will begin production soon once the final proofs are completed and approved. I have a trusted relationship with my manufacturer so I normally don't ask for too many progress photos but will update you guys if I receive any during the production process. 


If you haven't already, please fill out your Backerkit survey asap! If you've not received as email with your survey link, please reach out to me via Kickstarter DMs and I can manually send you a new link.


In the meantime, follow us on social media @tokuarts to see what else we're up to or shop some of our other pins over at  tokuartsco.com . We just dropped some Lil' Ghostie pins just in time for spoopy season! 

Surveys!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Sep 28, 2021 at 12:53:31 AM

Hello everyone!

I finally got everything set up through Backerkit which means it's finally time for surveys to go out! I need to conduct a smoke test first. This means that surveys will be sent to a few backers first to make sure everything runs smoothly with the survey format. Once those are completed, I'll be able to send out surveys to the remaining backers. Please keep an eye on your email for this survey. The sooner they are completed, the sooner I can order the pins!

Through Backerkit you will also be able to add-on any additional items you may have missed during the campaign! I also added a final (very cursed) pin design stretch goal that will unlock if 20 people order it through Backerkit. You will not be charged for this pin if it doesn't meet the 20 order goal.

Have a wonderful week! <3

THANK YOU!

I'm actually surprised at how many people loved these crazy long frogs! A big thank you to all of you for supporting the project! This has been my most funded project to date and I can't thank you enough.

Surveys will be conducted through Backerkit. This is a trusted third party service that will help me tremendously with fulfillment. You can expect to see the survey link in your email sometime in the next week. I will also update once they are sent out.

If your pledge was errored for whatever reason, Kickstarter will send you an email to fix this. Please fix it within one week or your pledge will be automatically removed by the campaign.

I've also had a lot of questions about if they will be sold afterwards.  You'll have the option to add more through backerkit for preorder pricing. After kickstarter rewards are fulfilled, they will be sold in our  Online shop for retail price ($12+).

I'm so excited to have these made. Production will begin as soon as surveys are filled out. ♡ Thank you and I'll be updating again soon!

New pins added!

Hi guys!

With the campaign nearing the finish line this week, I wanted to add a couple last minute designs! 

Internally Screaming:

James Pond:

 You can thank my friend @rotoodle on Instagram for forcing me to draw James Pond.


A 14 and 15 pin tier have been added for these as well as a 16 pin tier for those who would like all of the pins including both color variants of the "I'm Chemicals" frog.


As a reminder, all designs have been unlocked including the new ones so if you'd like to increase your pledge now is the time to do it. 


I've also gotten a few questions regarding the freebies-- ALL physical pledges will recieve both the freebie sticker as well as the Pond Olympics pin no matter what tier you pledged for. The only tier not eligible is the "no reward" tier.


Hope you guys love these new designs! Would love to hear your thoughts ♡
