thank you so much to everyone who took the time to vote in my last poll & share their thoughts on the situation with marine & tangerine bat. i wanted to be sure that i approached the situation as fairly as i could with the circumstances im currently in, while doing my best to abide by the wishes of a majority of my backers.

as im sure many of you saw already, the majority of backers voted to go ahead with swapping their orders out for different designs, and keeping marine bat & tangerine bat on the shelf for now to potentially return in a different campaign. 

i know SO many of you loved marine & tangerine bat, and i know this wasnt the solution some of you wanted -- i hope i was able to at the very least show that i was doing my best to find a compromise that worked best for everyone. 💔

to answer some general questions im sure some of you have:

- if you ordered tangerine and/or marine bat and choose to keep your pledge, you'll recieve an additional bat head pin of your original choice as an apology!

- yes, you are more than welcome to request a refund (either for just your affected batpack or your entire pledge). just reply to the email and let me know!

- if tangerine and/or marine bat come back in a later campaign, ill figure out a way to additionally compensate anyone who chooses to back this potential later campaign who wanted marine/tangerine originally. I'm not sure what that will look like yet (or if/when a batpack series 2 will be -- we gotta finish out this one first!), but i have everyone's emails so I'll keep you all updated!

now, there's some additional context that affected my decision to cut marine & tangerine bat, which I didnt feel comfortable sharing initially -- things were still up in the air & i didnt want my own personal circumstances to sway anyone's thoughts on the matter. now that everyone's voted, i do feel that its important to give you guys the full picture!
