Dragon Hoard Keepers - A Plush & Enamel Pin Campaign

 (Sign up for our newsletter for a free  coloring book, updates, and happenings at the studio!)

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!

Hello everyone!

Quick reminder that the Early Bird free Dragon Collector Pin expires in 24 hours! Make sure to back soon to receive your free dice collector pin!

Speaking of free goodies, we have a few others!

First, be sure you check out our partner collaborator campaign Elemental Myth brought to you by StrangeLittleCreatures. Backing both projects nabs you a Dragon and Griffon enamel pin set!

Second, the Banners of Pintopia are all offering their own mini goodies. When you back 3+ campaigns under Dragon Banner, you will receive a 3 inch sticker from each campaign backed.

We’re offering this one as thanks!

Before we go, I want to give a BIG HUG THANK YOU to everyone who has backed so far! We made it at 11:09PM PST. The anticipation of the day left us a mess. Because of you guys, we get to make these Dragon Hoard Keepers real. We’re so grateful for that.

We’ll see you in the next update,

A big thank you to every backer, collector, and enthusiast. You're all Keepers in our eyes. Cue wild, happy dragon noises! Without you guys, this little Dragon Hoard simply wouldn't be. So thank you all very much. We're so grateful for your support!

So what do we look forward to next? Well Arielle is still drafting up the Skull Keeper for our 12000 goal. We will be showing sketches and hopefully a final artwork in the coming days.


Shortly after that, we have our first color version Lucy as the Black Dragon Plush and Black Dragon Charm

And what's this? If we peek into the cave, we can catch a first glimpse of Lucy's sassy little charm version!

We're loving how much personality she brings to the dragon family. This is shaping up to a great campaign and we can't wait to see what comes up next!

Until we find ourselves there,

THE TIME IS HERE!


Dragon Hoard Keepers is a celebration of that magical urge to hunt down cool stuff and call it your own. From potions, mysterious keys, shiny math rocks, and all the other oddities a dedicated collector would love to squirrel away. If that’s you, welcome aboard! Be sure to check out the campaign page here.

Back within the first 48 hours and you’ll secure a free Dice Collector pin and become a foundational part of making the hoard come true.

Want to help the campaign along? There are a few ways you can help.

Don’t miss our collaboration with StrangeLittleCreatures. Back both campaigns for each collaboration pin free!

Thanks for joining us on this journey. Let’s build an incredible hoard together!

Alright, I’ve been holding onto this secret for what feels like forever, and I am so excited to finally share! We’re making a keychain charm plush of our Dragon Keeper!



LOOK AT HIM!

Isn’t he cute? He’s going to be about 5 inches big and designed to tag along with you everywhere, hanging happily wherever you may put him. (keychain part is still work in progress)

And that’s not even the best part.

He’s got a little secret compartment! A hidden magnet keeps him closed, so he can carry a tiny piece of your hoard with you. Maybe favorite dice, a lucky charm, emergency snacks…you get the idea.

So smol. So cute. So ready for adventures.

A quick reminder: We launch in 2 days! Sharing the campaign around is the best way to ensure a strong launch, which means unlocking more colors and pins for everyone. Plus, if you back within the first 48 hours, not only will you help make all these dragon dreams come true, but you’ll get this little enamel pin free!


Also, if you haven’t checked it out yet, make sure to peek at our collaborator campaign Elemental Myth by StrangeLittleCreatures.



StrangeLittleCreature’s designs mix complex, elegant details into clean, beautiful pins. Their mythical beasts are marvelous. If you support both campaigns, you’ll receive both of our special collaboration pins for free. Don’t miss out!



The campaign is almost here. Next time you hear from us, it’ll be launch day. Until then,
