You wanted it, you got it!
A number of you said you wanted patches for a stretch goal, so I'm going for it! These have replaced the second shirt design goal at $5650. I may offer the second design later in the campaign, but I think it's more fun to offer a wider variety of things for people at this point.
My pin manufacturer can also make embroidered patches for us, so we are ironing out all of the details now. I'm currently trying to decide on which designs to offer at the $5650 unlock. At the very least the Plague Doctor will be available as a 3-4 inch patch with full embroidery. I'm waiting to verify pricing, but I'm aiming to offer these at around $8-10 each. Which of the other designs would you like to see as a patch? Would you also be interested in some smaller (1.5 inch) skull patches?
A quick update about the Apocalypse Party tier.

Just a heads up!
The original Apocalypse Party tier was set up to include one of everything in the original campaign, meaning 1 of every unlocked pin and 1 each of the tote and zipper bags. However, even though the items above were clearly listed out, I did say one of everything in the campaign. This was true up until I decided to add additional add-on stretch goals yesterday. These items are not considered part of the initial campaign and are not included in this reward tier.
To avoid any future confusion, I have added 5 new slots for this tier which now have the appropriate wording. If for some reason anyone who backed the original tier thought this also included the newly added add-on items, please feel free to edit your pledge or message me directly. My goal is to be as transparent as possible and make sure that everyone loves their items! Thanks to everyone who has supported the campaign so far, and I'm so sorry for any confusion this may have caused!
All initial stretch goals unlocked! Long term goals ahead?

All pin designs are officially unlocked! And in less than 48 hours! You guys are all so amazing!
As a thank you, I'm now going to include BOTH the large plague doctor sticker AND a selection of mini stickers for every backer! I saw everyone was pretty divided on the past poll, and you guys have all been so great. I'm happy to spring for both. :)
Now I'm thinking about what more fun add-ons we can try and unlock if this continues to attract new pledges. Here are my current thoughts:
- Plague Doctor DTG (direct to garment) t-shirt
- Grumpy crow and/or screaming possum screen printed t-shirt(s)
- Wooden magnet versions of all the pin designs (these would also be cut to shape, so imagine larger wooden versions of the pins!)
- Pillow plushies: flat pillows cut to shape, just like the pins, but made with a soft minky fabric (zipper on the bottom, would ship without stuffing - backers would have to stuff these themselves)
Any thoughts on these potential items? Or anything else you guys would like for me to try and create that I haven't already listed?
Shirts and Acrylic Standee now available

I was initially going to pursue these after the Kickstarter, but I really wanted to unveil some more fun things for you guys! Current shirt designs are for the Grumpy Crow and the Screaming Possum. Both will be screen printed on soft, unisex shirts. I'd considered doing Plague Doctor shirts, however his original artwork has so many colors that he would need to be DTG (direct to garment printing). I've had very meh results with that in the past, and I want to make the best quality shirts possible for you guys. I may look into simplifying his design so it works in 2-3 colors if you guys would like him on a shirt, though!
I'm also offering the Plague Doctor as an acrylic standee figure! This will be my first time making one of these, and I'm super excited about it. The overall figure will be about 4 inches tall and will be printed in full color on glossy, clear acrylic. I love desk toys, so I'll definitely be getting one of these for myself!
If for some crazy reason funding continues past the $6k mark, I'd like to add some additional things as well: keychains, wooden magnets, and patches. Keychains and magnets I have pricing on, but I'm waiting to hear about patches. Would you guys have a preference for any of these additional stretch goals?
Day 1: almost half of all goals unlocked!

WOW! You guys are awesome! Thanks for the incredible show of support. I honestly didn't expect this to get so many backers so quickly.
This also means that we can start talking about FREEBIES! I'd like to know what everyone prefers for the sticker gift. Would you rather have 1 larger (3inch or so) sticker of the plague doctor, or a few mini stickers of various characters at random (for example, three 1 inch stickers)?
