Dragon Hoard Keepers - A Plush & Enamel Pin Campaign

Hello everyone! 

Just popping in because we’ve hit the final 48 hours of the campaign! 

To celebrate the final 48 hours, we put together one more surprise Hoard Keeper and mini hoard pins! This Dragon enjoys a quiet morning strolling through meadows and enjoying all the beautiful flowers the world has to offer.


Check out the addons section to add them to your pledge!

The Pin Hoard Dragon is so close! Pin Hoard Dragon is still so close to being unlocked! Today’s gotta be the day! There’s so much hope in those eyes!

That’s it for this quick check-in. We’re hoping you have enjoyed the journey thus far and have found some wonderful finds for your collections. We’re already itching to shift into full refinement mode on everything unlocked. Thank you so much for your support!

Happy 48 hours everyone! Until next time,

Arielle + Ryan

Hello everyone!

Over the weekend, we finally put together the finishing touches on the Pin Keeper’s Artwork.

This dragon is a bit more… domestic than the others. This one is perfectly content staying in, organizing its magnificent collection of enamel pins. A true introvert after our own hearts. And look how proud they are!

This solitary collector will be available when we hit the $20,000 milestone!

To help this collector, we’ve taken our Flower Collector artwork and turned it into an Enamel Pin Add-on! We’re getting a bit ambitious with this one and trying out a purple chrome finish!



With just 3 days left in the campaign, every bit of support gets us closer to unlocking this dragon and making these pins a reality. Thank you all so much for being on this journey with us. We’ll see you at the 48 hour mark!

Until next time,
Arielle + Ryan

Hello everyone!

Thanks to all your support and sharing, the Black Dragon Hoard Keeper is officially joining the hoard! Behold, the glorious Lucy in all her dark draconic glory!

Now about those prototype photos… See the straps on her head? That’s our enthusiastic first stab at “backpack mode”. Consider it the first of our refinements. We plan on moving those straps a bit lower on the back of the head. It’s safe to say that all Dragon Hoard Keeper plushies will include straps for use as little backpacks or to simply hang around.

Look how happy she is, frolicking with her precious dice!

And here’s Apple calmly deciding on what game to play while Lucy just chills.



We’re still impatiently waiting on the little charm plush prototypes to arrive! We are vibrating with anticipation.



The Dragon Pin Hoarder: This is next! A glorious board that must hold all the pins. Does it have enough room? The Pin Hoarder’s best kind of agony!



After that, we look forward to Elaine the Blue Dragon Keeper.




And just look at this chill little charm plush just hanging out!


A Quick Reminder

If you missed the last unlock, make sure to check out the Skull Dragon Keeper and its hoard of mini skull pins in the add-on section. Perfect little counterparts to Lucy! 

We’ll see you again soon!

Goal Crushed! The Skull Keeper Dragon Pin is officially happening. This black croco-dragon’s skull collection consists of the finest skulls the world has to offer. Just look at that t-rex skull. Immaculate! We’re pretty sure they’ve even stashed a rare Ancient Artifact skull in there somewhere…

You can snag The Skull Keeper in the Add-ons section if it’s calling your name. Make sure you add it if you are looking to collect all the Dragon Keepers. This pin will also be available for choice among those already picking up a Dragon Keeper.


For those interested in the process, we will cover the design process in an upcoming newsletter. Join us there and check it out!

While designing this striking dragon, we doodled up a bunch of skulls. And then we got thinking…shouldn’t this bad boi have a proper hoard like the rest?

So, a small surprise: The Mini Pin Set: Skull Hoard! This set of four fabulous skulls is ready to join your collection. You can find it in the add-ons section, and it will also be a selection option among the available mini pin sets.


Next Stop: 16000 Stretch Goal - Black Lucy Dragon Hoard Keeper Plush and Charm Color Variation!

We’ll see you guys then!
