Created by Toku Arts

Behold, a sequel to the original Cursed Frogs enamel pin collection that nobody asked for.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Fulfillment!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 27, 2022 at 11:09:01 PM

Hello everyone!

Good news, I have received most of the designs and can begin the fulfillment process!


I am still waiting on the MILF design and Adam frog design (from the Creation of Frog set) to finish up at the factory. These designs needed production changes, hence why they took a bit longer. In the meantime I will be fulfilling rewards that do not include those designs.


The first batch of 150 orders will be mailing out next week. If you haven't gotten it already, you will be received a final notice to change your address soon! Once you receive this email, you will have 48 hours to change your shipping address (if need be) before it's locked in. Please DM me if you have any questions/concerns regarding this.  


Thank you for your patience while I fulfill these rewards! I will try my best to get these out super speed but I'm just one clam in the sea. Tracking emails will be sent out to your email via Pirateship.


Have a wonderful week everyone! 

Sample Photos

Hey guys!

Sorry for being slow with this update! The package with the samples was stuck in customs for almost 10 days -- just my luck. Here are photos of all the main pins, cuisine de pond mini pin set, and sticker add-ons.

Please note that the "Adam" frog pin has miscolored screenprinting in the belly area and will be fixed in the final batch.

I'm hoping that mass production will be completed and shipped to me by the end of September so I can fulfill rewards by mid October! 

Manufacturing Update!

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to put out a small update letting you know that things are still chugging along! I'm estimating just a few more weeks until mass production is completed. Of course if there are any delays I will let you know.

My rep also sent me the samples along with another random restock order so I should be able to take clearer, more accurate photos of the sample pins when they arrive on Monday. 

Have a wonderful and safe weekend! 

Froga Lisa Update
almost 2 years ago – Sat, Aug 13, 2022 at 05:55:32 AM

Hello! 

I'm back with an update regarding the Froga Lisa enamel pin. My manufacturer has worked quickly to get the design remade so that it will be ready with the rest of the collection. We are still a few weeks away from the pins being fully completed but I wanted to show the updated pin.

The photo below of the "corrected pin" is BEFORE the epoxy coating, the final pins will have a smooth coating that will mimic the look and feel of a hard enamel pin. 

*Please note that enamel colors look slightly different due to lighting. 

Incorrect Plating on Left (Hard enamel with standard gold plating), Corrected Plating on Right (soft enamel with antique gold plating BEFORE EPOXY)
The sample has been approved and mass production of the pins has begun.

I also decided to purchase the incorrect pins rather than having the manufacturer destroy them. If you chose the Froga Lisa pin as one of your rewards and you'd like the regular gold hard enamel version instead of the corrected one with antique gold plating, please send me a DM via Kickstarter before August 20th so I can make a note on your survey. If you do not message me before this date, I will assume you are okay with the corrected pin. There is no need to message me if you are ok with the epoxied soft enamel change! 

Froga Lisa Issue
almost 2 years ago – Tue, Aug 02, 2022 at 04:03:26 PM

Hello! 

This update is for everyone who ordered the Froga Lisa enamel pin. There was a bit of a communication problem with the plating on this pin. I envisioned an antiqued gold metal plating however, we've learned this finish can only be achieved with soft enamel pins. 

An example of Antique Gold finish

The factory made the samples in regular gold (which is kinda tacky looking for this design).

I will be having new samples made for this design in the antiqued finish but please note the finished pins will be in soft enamel. They will however, have an epoxy layer so that it has a similar smooth feel to hard enamel.
