You all floored me. We were one of the lucky projects to fund in the first hour, and in less than 6 we unlocked every stretch goal. I went in to this thinking it was nothing but embarrassingly bad hubris to make more than 9 or 10 designs total available because I'd be lucky to get that far, but your support has humbled my anxiety in the best way. Thank you all so, so much. I will be informing my manufacturer that they can expect to be doing all of these designs! I've been trying all day to keep up with updating the page, and it is a strange but good kind of busy.

I've put up a new set of stretch goals for getting those alternate colors using the poll participated in by folks during the Launch Party! The image with the order is too large to attach to an update, but it is up on the campaign page. Did your favorite make it pretty high up? Mine is at the very bottom because it wasn't on the poll of course. The first stretch goal will also add the CMYK potion dragon and white cannibal unicorn as options for those who would be receiving them!

For those of you who might not have spotted them, here is the final pin's design along with the two alternate colors it has! A chicken and a mealworm with gold finish. When people think of chickens in relation to meat eating they are usually imagining the chicken as the meat and many folks believe chickens are natural vegans. Not so! If they can swallow it easily it is fair game, be it made of moss, meat, or metal (I wish that last one wasn't true because no, they can't digest screws.) Their diet is especially insect-heavy, but I've personally seen them eat rodents, nestling birds, lizards, frogs, and snakes. They will grab any tiny animal they can catch and start smacking it against the ground with more vigor than a seriema, if they even bother making sure it isn't moving before swallowing it. They are little fluffy killers!



I am not sure if we will hit any of the new goals, but they're officially there for those of you who wanted to root for them. Have a great evening y'all!

I did not even have the time to post that we were launched since I was streaming, and now that that's over we've already hit two stretch goals??? That's insane! We funded in under 20 minutes even!! Thank you all so much for your support, I am SUPER excited to make these pins and I hope we can keep tearing through those stretch goals so no one ends up disappointed. 

OH. And while I was typing this out we unlocked the tiger too. Y'all are killing it! Thank you so much!!! I will do my best not to spam anyone with updates, but if you want to see what is currently available I'll be doing my best to keep up with updating the stretch goals section on the campaign page- AND THERE GOES THE BEAR UNLOCKING!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OK I AM GONNA GET TO UPDATING THAT SECTION OMG

(this update got typed out originally w/the title possum unlocked you guys are ZIPPING THROUGH)

Hapy crismin, please have these alternative pin colors! Which is your favorite? I'm torn between the two dinos for mine.

I have not solidly set stretch goals for these since the final goal is $10,000 already as it is. I think that will have to be a bridge we cross if/when we get there. If we do end up unlocking any of these I think it will be in the reverse order of the initial pin unlocks! Partly because the piebald hyena would be the most expensive one to do. Only the animal would be receiving any color swaps, the meats would stay the same. If we did reach them and unlock them, the white cannibal unicorn and CMYK potion dragon would become available options to folks who are getting them as freebies!

Provided I don't beef it on figuring out how to do so, of course. We're not streamers so don't expect this to be a huge event or anything, just a little hangout stream. I got the jitters so bad counting down to Pintopia 2025's launch and I'd rather be putting that energy in to something other than anxiety this time! I'll be drawing animals/plush concepts and we'll both be chatting about whatever and answering Lairbrew related questions in general. It will run for an hour before launch, and up to an hour after launch. Set a reminder on Apple, Google, or Yahoo so you don't miss it. You can also subscribe to our (seldom used) Youtube page where we'll be hosting it!

Not a big update, just an announcement for the poll with some captions to be selected from! Some of the suggestions were too long for me to write out and guarantee it would remain legible, so I had to boil them down to a shorter joke. There's still credit for each user on the poll though!

We just wrapped up fulfillment on our 2025 Pintopia project Carrion Baggage, so I am focusing on making sure this campaign will be the best it can be!
