Hey guys!

I bet everyone here is super excited for the last AoT episode, which will be live on Crunchyroll tonight!

I have great news - I’ve gotten word from my rep at the pin factory that the pins are finished production! She kindly sent me photos and videos, which I will share with you guys below:

Once these pins arrive to me, I’ll be grading them and then packing and shipping all Kickstarter backer rewards and pre-orders. Shortly after that, I’ll announce a drop date for the extras, which will be available on angeldelysstudio.com

Stay tuned!

In the meantime, have a great weekend, everyone 💕

Production Update and Photos
6 months ago – Thu, Oct 19, 2023 at 12:14:48 PM

Hey everyone!

With some time having passed us by since the last update, I reached out to my manufacturer in regrds to the status of the remakes for Levi and Reiner. I was given photos and an estimate of how much longer it will take to complete them.

The pins are at the final stage where they are only missing the screen print. See photos below:

They look great so far!

As for how much longer fit will take for the screenprint to be finished, I was told one more week. See screenshot below:

We are close to the finish line!

I’ll be back with another update once the screenprint process is finished. Until then, take care, everyone!

Pin Photos and Important Production Info!
8 months ago – Fri, Sep 01, 2023 at 10:00:08 AM

Good afternoon, everyone! 

As we were approaching the last week of August, I reached out to my manufacturer in regards to an update, as the pins were originally projected to be finished near the end of August.

The good news is, they were indeed finished! Unfortunately, there was also some bad news once I looked at the photos of the pins I was provided. Luckily, its nothing that can't be resolved and my manu is extremly cooperative in terms of resolving issues and fixing mistakes.

There have been errors with two of the pins. 

"Sacrifice Your Heart" was accidentally made with glitter on the hair and straps, when the glitter was supposed to only appear in the background. This was noted in the original mockups and art proofs, so it was an error on their part.

"Our Shield" was accidentally made with the wrong enamel colour on the arm accessories. They were supposed to be made a dark grey (Cool Grey 11C), but instead a wrong Pantone code for a light blue was used. This was also an error on their part and is being corrected.

The good news is that these two pins are being remade as we speak!

I continued to ask questions and inquire about more pictures, showing the effects on certaih pins better, and although it took a few days of communication to get everything I was looking for, by yesterday night, I received all of the additional info and photos that I wanted, hence this update :)

Below you will find photos of all of the pins, the ones with errors have notes written on them. I am absolutely thrilled with the actual quality of the pins, and besides the mistakes previously mentioned, these came out absolutely beautifully. They did a wonderful job on the enamel, the plating, the effects, and the screenprint! 

There is also a photo of the acrylic charm, as I have the same manu making them!

Here they are:

I am super excited for the remakes of the two with errors to be done, everything else looks so good and I am really looking forward to sending you guys your packages!

Although I have to wait for the two remakes to be complete for the manu to mail me the pins and charms, rest assured that I am always very fast and thourough when it comes to quality checking and packing your orders. I have a solid record of finishing the process within 48 hours of receiving the pins.

Until then, I’ll keep you guys posted when I have more news. If any of you guys ever want to reach out to me, don’t hesitate to message me on Kickstarter or any of my socials, found on my carrd page

Have a great day and weekend ahead, everyone!

Production Update!
10 months ago – Fri, Jun 16, 2023 at 02:11:18 PM

Hey everyone! 

It’s been a while since the last update, as things tend to get quiet while pins are in production. I touched base with my manu and got this update:

It’s good to know they’re putting their absolute best screenprinter on the job! as for the timeline, my projection was for the pins to be done in mid-late August, which still looks on track according to this update. 

Thats about it for now! If any of you have questions or comments, feel free to reach out anytime!

Have a great weekend, everyone! 💖
