Etsy shop is open for business again! Quantities may be slightly limited for a few weeks while I get back into the groove of things.

08/24/2021

Wrecker arrived today! I know I've been quiet lately, just had a lot of stuff going on. I'm hoping I'll be able to grade the majority of these this weekend and get them on the way to those of you that pre-ordered. (Also please excuse my dirty hands, I weld for a living and I quite literally look like Pigpen when I get home from work but I was too excited that these came today lol)

08/01/2021

Wrecker and Lula have officially been ordered and I cannot wait for them to get here! Still a few presale slots open at the link in my bio if you don't want to wait for the in hand sale!

07/23/2021

It's finally time! We're starting a little early because I planned poorly and I'm gonna be driving at 7 lol. So my presale for Wrecker and Lula is live! $18+shipping. https://kestrelprops.com/product/soldier-with-doll link is also in my bio for easy access. Please share with your friends!

INTEREST CHECK. We've got Wrecker and Lula dialed in to a 2" hard enamel pin with screen printed details for Wrecker's face. Currently pending approval on the proof, but I need to decide on run size to decide on pricing. Who's in? Like and share!

07/05/2021

I know I've been quiet, but I've had a pretty busy weekend and gotten a lot of things done. One of those is getting all of my Kickstarter orders fulfilled! If you backed my project, your pins will be on their way to you on Tuesday! Once I make sure there weren't any shipping problems the rest of them will be up for sale on my Etsy. :)

06/15/2021

Still have presale slots open for Mara! 3" hard enamel with glitter and screen printed details, $40 plus shipping! Share with your friends! Link in profile!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: if you see an ad for my Etsy shop anywhere please for the love of God so not click on it. I hit Etsy's arbitrary sales cap and I'm now being forcibly opted into their off-site ads. A) I do not want them B) I do not need them, C) I lose another 12% on any sale(s) in a 30-day span if you do click on one, regardless of whether you purchase something immediately or come back later from a direct link. I will most likely be moving shop once I get logistics figured out.

Please share with your friends.

*ART UNVEIL/INTEREST CHECK* Next up on the docket we have Wrecker and Lula! I'm super excited about this piece, with the art done by . (Check out her fiverr if you need art done, she's amazing! www.fiverr.com/winter_maiden) Wrecker is my fave of the Bad Batch clones, and I can't wait to bring him to life. Please like and share this post so I can get a reading in interest and figure out run size! Thanks!

Full details on my Mara pin! Dimensions and full color palette! To say I'm excited to get this into production is an understatement, but I need your help to do it.

Price will be $40 (plus $5 for shipping to the US, $15 to Canada, $25 to Europe except for the UK.). Since Etsy doesn't allow pre-orders, I'll provide the sales link to my website at 8pm EST on June 11. Unfortunately, the Etsy problem means that UK buyers will have to wait until my in-hand sale because of VAT.

I will have 40 preorder slots available... I need to sell at least 30 of them to fund the production run. If after two weeks of the sale going live I haven't sold enough of them, all sales will be refunded and I'll have to figure something else out.

So please help me out! Like and share this post so we can get the word out to add many people as we can! I greatly appreciate every bit of support you give me!

05/19/2021

Super excited to be able to share the finalized proof for my Mara pin! Featuring black nickel metal, glitter colors, and scream printed details, she will be roughly 2.5" tall by 3" wide. Cost will be somewhere around $40 (I'm still crunching final numbers to figure out if that will include shipping or not.) Presale will go live on June 11 at 8pm EST ... Stay tuned and spread the word!!!

*GAUGING INTEREST*

While we wait for Kickstarter to send over the funds so I can get Tatooine and Hoth into production...

I have this lovely art of Mara Jade that I commissioned from (https://www.fiverr.com/winter_maiden) to make a pin from. I'm currently considering 2" or 2.5” with the lightsaber in glitter. Not sure of quantity yet, which is where this post comes in.

If you might be interested, please like this post. I'd also be very appreciative of any shares! And you can let me know in the comments if you have a preference on size :) Thanks!

Final day! Link to my Kickstarter in my profile!

04/29/2021

36 hours left on my Kickstarter! Get those final pledges in! Link on profile!

04/26/2021

4 days! Come pledge and help us unlock Endor!

04/25/2021

5 days left! If we can get another $200 raised we'll be able to add this one to the production list. Personally I can't wait until I get to send it off for proofing. Come check out the Kickstarter!

http://kck.st/3cAYK2O

04/23/2021

7 DAYS LEFT!! Still just about $200 shy of funding Forest Moon! Spread the word, tell your friends... I'd love to be able to show this one off in its full glory!

http://kck.st/3cAYK2O

04/22/2021

Another design for down the road. Come check out the Kickstarter and help us get Forest Moon and Cloud City unlocked before it ends!

http://kck.st/3cAYK2O

04/20/2021

This one won't make it into the Kickstarter because it's later on in the planned order of production but I think it's one of my favorites out of the dozen or so of these that I've made so far. Fallen Order is definitely one of my favorite games.

http://kck.st/3cAYK2O getting close to unlocking that next stretch goal!

04/17/2021

I can't stop looking at the proofs for the two pins that we've funded so far. Just a little over $200 left to go before I get to show you the next one!

http://kck.st/3cAYK2O

04/16/2021

Two weeks left!! We are just a little over $200 shy of unlocking the next pin right now. I can't wait to show you all what it is!!

Because I had to rearrange my schedule for some last minute plans for next week, the shop will now be going into vacation mode tomorrow instead of Sunday. It will still be reopening on May 5th. Sorry for the last minute switcharoo!

04/15/2021

Here's a peek at another future pin. Drew this little guy up yesterday and I think he came out pretty good. Don't forget to check out the Kickstarter for my Star Wars planet pins if you haven't already!

The amount of support I have received from you all this past month staggers me. Despite being laid off from my full time job I've made enough from Etsy sales to add a 3rd printer to my line-up. As of today it is set up and ready to aid me in filling orders a little more quickly. That said, bear with me for the next week or two while I catch up on all of these orders. I can only print the stands off so fast, and Amazon keeps sending me the wrong type/number of screens.

Along that topic, the Etsy shop will be in a short vacation mode starting April 18th and will reopen for orders on May 5th. I'm leaving for Florida with my family for a much needed vacation on April 27th, and I want to make sure I have enough time to fulfill all pending orders before then. Again, thank you all so much for your business and support!
