Trash Pack: Pins and Pals

Created by Trash Eater Design

Six pins, one plush, all Trash! My ultimate goal is capturing the cuddle factor of the chaotic opossum and containing it within a 16” plush!

Behind the Scenes Hiccup
1 day ago – Wed, Apr 01, 2026 at 07:18:31 PM

Hey all!

I just wanted to pop in to let you all know a few things!

Firstly, production is beginning on the plush! Hurray!

Secondly, my pin manufacturer isn't honoring my initial quote, they have increased the price of my pins around 100-125%, so I will be looking for a new manufacturer to see if they can offer a better price with a hopefully better quality! I ordered my last campaign pins through this manufacturer and the ones that weren't flawed were beautiful, but 25% of them were flawed.

I want to be completely transparent with this process so everyone stays on the same page I'm on. This is a nasty bump in the road and at a terrible time as I'm headed out of state to Sakura Con. Thanks for bearing with me!

Surveys Are Out!
12 days ago – Sat, Mar 21, 2026 at 08:05:25 PM

Hey all!

Most of you have already seen, but surveys are out! I have a handful of  that still need filled out, but we're getting close to surveys locking and pins/plush going into production.

Since I'll be going to Sakura Con in Seattle this year, I decided to keep the pre-order store open and have a QR code linking there for customers to be able to order things in person, hopefully getting the Scream Queen pin (and maybe clown opossum??) unlocked! I'm super excited for this show, it's my first big out of state show and I can't wait! If you're in Seattle, come see me!

Smoke Test Surveys Going Out!
about 1 month ago – Wed, Feb 25, 2026 at 10:07:22 PM

Hey everyone!

With CNY ending, things are picking up again behind the scenes.

I have taken the time between Pintopia ending and now to refine the survey and get it ready to go. Smoke tests are going out now, if those are clear you can expect to see the survey in your inbox! Keep an eye out, the smoke test goes to a select few backers and is very important!


That's all for now, thanks everyone for sticking around!

Pintopia 2026: Finished!
about 2 months ago – Thu, Feb 12, 2026 at 02:03:19 PM

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for your support on this project! We ended with a not-to-shabby $2,327. This year's Pintopia was full of so many amazing projects and I know money is tight for so many right now, so I am extremely grateful y'all chose me to throw money at!

On the subject of stretch goals, since we didn't end at the $2,500 goal I will have the option to unlock the last pin by pre-orders in the pledge manager/pre-order store if there is enough interest!

I will also have a few other add-ons that didn't make it to the campaign that y'all should really check out!

I will be getting in contact with my manufacturers ASAP, but the factories are closed until the end of the month, so sit tight!

Thanks again,

-Mary W.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to pop in to share a few things:

Firstly, new stretch goals have arrived! Check out the achievements and the story section to see what's down the road!

Secondly, there's a poll out! Vote on the $5,000 stretch goal. Shall we take the trash out, or clown around? It's up to you!

That's all for now, thanks y'all!
