Love, Death, and Monster Girls

Hey everyone ! Thank you guys so much for the successful campaign we unlocked all goals! This update is a bit late as i was at katsucon all weekend sorry ! I'll be working on the pledge manager starting next week to start on surveys. For now the preorder shop is open for anyone who missed the campaign. Manus are on break at the moment for chinese new year so I wont be able to get anything started until the return :) In the meantime make sure you check your card to see if your pledge went through ! I'll post a bigger update once the factories are back and surveys are set up

Hey everyone ! We've unlocked all previous goals woo ! I'm here with another new pin design and another new stretch goal, as well as some bag updates and photos ! Firstly lets start with the pin: Changeling who unlocks at $29,000. She will be a standard pin and available to add on for $18.


The next new item is bag charms ! These are jet tag like charms and my original hope was to make them replaceable in the bow slow however with how the final construction of the bag ended up working that didn't work out. So i'm repurposing them as bag charms and they're honestly so cute ! The bat is made of the same PU leather as the bag and the skull will be a thick fabric with embroidered details on it ! These will be add-on items for the campaign for now. They unlock at $27,800. They will be $8 add ons.


here is a photo of the bat sample that i already have in hand, the skull is still being made.



Next I've added a few new pledge levels.  I've added a four standard pins pledge level to accommodate the newest designs and I've added two new bag + pins levels that are ita + four standard pins and ita + four standard and 1 supreme pin. These two new bag tiers allow for pay over time to make it easier on some people while adding more pins ! As a reminder for pay over time backers you will not be filling out your survey right away through backerkit but I will be sending you an email to get an idea of what items you'd like to pick ! You will then later fill out your backerkit survey once you've paid in full.

Lastly I have some bag sample updates ! I've got the chain strap ! You can now see how it looks with the chain strap which is my personal favorite but i love having the option ! The leather part of the chain strap is adjustable in length.



they've also removed the extra link at the bottom and I have a sample of the darker red bow color thats an option on the survey, it's super beautiful on the bag especially in person. I also have a sample of the cushion ita insert ! You can see how it looks in the bag with no pins and theres also a photo of it on its own. Its sooo cute and makes it even more coffin-like i'm very excited to put some pins on it ! 

As a note on this current sample the back pocket zipper was moved to the very back to test out the structure and feel of it but I still like both zippers in the middle so expect that on the final bag. 

Going forward I'm working on at least one more pin design as well as some printed design ita inserts. Would you guys like to see any more bow colors? I was thinking a dark purple and a deep blue would look nice but leave your opinions down below !

thank you so much everyone ! We've hit both zombie and the cushion inserts ! Today i have three new things to announce to you. The first one is a new stretch goal: Ragdoll

She gets unlocked at $25,000 and will be a standard $18 pin selectable on any standard pin tier or on any standard pin add on. She also has her own add on if you want to pick her directly ! Once she unlocks expect more pins !



The second announcement is my friend keeneire wanted to make something special for the campaign ! She has hand carved a suffocating stamp that she is using to make a very limited 5 custom inserts of any shape where she will hand stamp suffocating onto the color of your choice with the color ink of your choice for you to have ! Here's a mockup below


The custom ita insert will be available for $30 as an add-on only and will be limited to 5. Lastly she is also using this stamp to offer 15 limited block PRINTS. They can come in black ink, pink ink, and purple ink. You'll be able to choose through your survey ! These are a campaign exclusive item  and will NOT be available at any point once the campaign ends. 

Wow everyone thank you SO much for a great first day ! We blew through so many goals and made it all the way to the casual ita inserts ! I'm so thrilled to say the three pins are unlocked, both the black and pink coffin ita bag are unlocked, and the black casual ita is as well ! We're SO close to hitting the white ita bag and today i'm introducing two new goals ! 

A celebration point: At one point yesterday we had a whopping 155 people on a backer train ! Thank you guys !

and i'm so excited to share with you an additional monster girl pin that will unlock at $21k ! We about to be up all night waking up a zombie!



She will be a standard pin in the $18 pin category. She's available as her own individual add on so you can get her through adding that one OR on one standard pin to your pledge :) She will be selectable at the end of the campaign through any standard pin tier pledge. 

Another bonus news is my manu made this pin insert for me upon my request for a variation of the design to look more like a coffin inside for the pins :) This will unlock at $23k and will be selectable under the coffin ita insert add-on as an option along with the regular solid colors. It will be available in all the previous color ways as well. These will only be available for the coffin style bag unless theres a bunch of requests otherwise.


 
I also have a poll for you guys to vote on what you'd like to see next as more campaign surprises ! Vote below ! Although bow colors isn't on this poll i would LOVE to know if you guys have any more suggestions for me to add :)
