Forgotten Forest: Endangered Animal Enamel Pins

Hey guys!

Good news I managed to get the survey out on time 💕 The pain from the pleurisy has mostly gone away. Autoimmune is playing games but thats apart of life lol


I added 4 new designs to the survey! The white tiger, 2 new poison dart frogs, and a piping plover 1.75” pin (it will not be glow in the dark).

The entire white tiger will be glow in the dark besides the skull and leaves and nose ^^

ALSO for those of you who ordered a plushie with the Adventure Buddies campaign, due to all the delays with the legislative issues and changes and the issue I had with the first manu upping the MoQ and cost after it was funded and being scummy, I’m giving everyone who ordered a plushie the green poison dart frog for free. So don’t order another unless you want two.

Also regarding the yellow frog, it’s toes should be yellow not lime, the reference I used it had some moss or something on its feet making it look green, I will fix this in a day or two lol





Thank you all for your support! The winter market launches tomorrow, I’m going to try to add an option in the survey for anyone who wants to add items onto this campaign to get a $5.25 credit towards shipping if you’re ok with them shipping with this campaign. This way you can add those items onto with no additional shipping cost.

I’ll post another update once I have my sample of the tiger pin!!

Hey guys!!

I just wanted to drop in with a quick sample preview of the poison dart frog!! He’s a little cutie. I also posted a video of him to my Instagram stories so you can see how the metal/effects look!

I am feeling a bit better. It still hurts to move or sit wrong but I’m recovering! Working on the tiger sample now. 

Anyways that’s it! Just wanted to drop in with frog.

Hey everyone!

I have a question for you all: I ended up in the ER last night with Pleurisy (aka autoimmune stuff caused my lung lining to get inflamed and it was also rubbing against my rib cage. Not fun lol) and it’ll probably be a few days of being in too much pain to draw.

So I wanted to attach a poll asking if you guys would rather the survey go out on the normal timeline (14th) or to delay it for a week to give time for drawing a new pin or two once I can shrimp my back again 😂


If we delay it by a week, it will also move the whole timeline back a week as well.

Also for those of you who ordered media monsters pins, I have 3 helpers coming by this next week to try and get all of them out asap!

For those of you who ordered Adventure buddies, I’ll make an update there in a day or two once I have more info but there’s some legal paperwork holdup with the plushie testing and an extra $1000 expense lol 😅I’m going to try to get them out by Christmas but boy howdy the current admin has made plushies a living nightmare to get produced.

Other than that! I hope you all have a good November! I’ll be posting updates as soon as I can move freely again! And don’t worry about me 😂 I say this a lot. But life is an experience to have good and bad and this is just another check on that list lol. Proof I’m alive. I just have to be responsible and let myself recover.

Hey everyone!!

I’m going to skip past the sappy stuff or I’ll be thank y’all all day TT another record breaking campaign and money raised for some good folk!

Y’all have no idea how grateful I am and how blown away I am month over month and I hope to always do right by yall!!

That aside!! What’s next?

The next 2 weeks are dedicated to card fixing! Backerkit does rolling card charges and if your payment fails you have 2 weeks to fix it. Once this period ends I’ll send out the reward survey. The reward survey will be open for 2 weeks before I finalize numbers and get the ball rolling on manufacturing!

In addition: I will be adding a few new pins to unlock on the survey! Some of yall may have already seen it in the new Stickersheet, but meet the white tiger!! White tigers are often the result of genetic inbreeding and aren’t found naturally in the wild!


In addition to the white tiger, I’m going to try to make 1 new poison dart frog variation and one new 2” glow-in-the-dark animal! I’m going to try my best to not do another mammal. The current goal is the Piping Plover! But we’ll see if my brain likes it or not lol! I make 0 promises!


If you want one of the new pins, they’ll be up in the pre-order store as soon as they become available!

Thank you all again, so, so, so much!!! 💕 I look forward to seeing all these good boys come to life and getting them home to you as soon as I can!!!

P.S. For those of you who were planning to swing by Twin Cities Con, I’m having some health issues so it’ll be my helper going for me instead <3 as an apology if you let her know you’re from backerkit I’ll have her give you 2 badge ribbons for free 🥰 

If y’all ever see me at a con let me know!!! And if you want to pick up your pins early at a con please also let me know!!!

December: Anime Weekend Atlanta & Anime Frontier (Dallas TX)

Hey everyone!

First! I hope everyone is having a good Halloween!

Second! I added a new Stickersheet for the newer pins! In addition, I added a new Stickersheet only tier for those of you who aren’t interested in pins!

Thank you all so much for such a wild project!!! Everytime I do a campaign I’m truly blown away as we continue to break the last campaigns records!

Also! If you’re at Kumoricon this weekend,  please swing by! I’m pretty low on stock from Nebraskon so the booth is missing a few items <3
