There are a couple of fixes that are being made now -- screenprint is getting adjusted on Pastel Kitsune, and I am inquiring about the swapped finishes on the slime girls as well. We tried to lighten up the rose gold cyclops colors, but the results didn't look as good.
After the aforementioned open items get squared away, hopefully we can finally start shipping in the next couple of weeks. Once again, I would like to apologize for the delays in this project -- between the flops of manufacturer #1, time digging for a new manufacturer, and a couple of small issues (but overall good experience) with manu #2, this project really dragged on longer than anticipated. When I look back on the whole experience, I can't see a single minute I could have saved really -- sometimes, manufacturing is turbulent.
Here is some concept art for the next pin kickstarter I may do. Are there any other animals or fashion variations you want to see?
I am debating if the sub-genre should be included by name with each one (e.g. "Hime", "Sweet", "Kuro" etc).
In other news, there are going to be a number of deals going on at kittynaut.com starting this Thursday and running through Monday:

This is the first time since the pin club started that pins are being made available to the public.
Finally, there are preorders open for the new Toe Beans Appreciation Club Pins! You can also bundle with apparel (if you get an apparel bundle this weekend, you will also get a free pin as noted above).
Click here to preorder Toe Beans.
That's all I have for now!

Two of the 16 Monster girls designs have finally arrived -- they are being graded now by me personally. More are coming soon! So, that's good news! Thank you in advance for your patience -- I will be grading 2000+ pins as we close this project. :)
I revealed my December pin club pins today! For December, I will also be sending a freebie pin to patrons. Join on patreon.com/kittynaut
To coordinate with the kawaii cozy Japanese theme of my Kotatsu bunny, I also am running this onsen monkey as a preorder! He comes with a free sticker.
This has been a long time coming, but I have decided to run my blood bag pins in new styles and blood types! I used to only have AB, but now I have A and O, and they have new super cute facial expressions. I hope they do well so I can do blood type B someday.
All right, I think that's all of the major Kittynaut news I have for now!
Cheers,

Yes, seriously. I am sending free pins to people. In case you didn't see this yet on instagram, I opened a new shop:
The first 100 orders over $20 get a free hard enamel pin! YES, IT'S TRUE.
USA orders over $20 also get free shipping
There are still a few free pins remaining, so be sure you go ahead and place your order before they all run out! Click the banner on the main page for how to get the free pin
For orders <$20, use "KITTYSPACESHIP" to get free shipping.
Nothing too exciting, production is just rolling on along. They are not finished yet, but will be soon hopefully! Here's another update photo from the manufacturer. The color matching looks pretty good!
That's all I have for now!
Cheers,
Heather
