Welcome!
Hello! I'm MindytheTurtle.
Please feel free to call me Mindy, Turtle, or MindytheTurtle.
Welcome to Critters Collective!
In each collective, there is an ita bag design, a large (2 in) fancy enamel pin, and a set of three mini pins under a critter and colour theme. This means that with each unlock, the set will be available to take home! Currently, the themes are coral reef/ocean, dragon's hoard, Carl the frog, capybaras' hot springs, and maybe more!
If you back this campaign and Shroomie Shoppe by Lexidus Art, you'll receive TWO enamel pins as bonus!
I am super excited to be collabing with the amazing Lexidus Art again! They're a super sweet artist that draws the most adorable little shroomies. All of the shroomies are such a joy to look at and are perfect to add into any enamel pin collection or ita bag. My favourite this time around is "Lactose Overload" because of how relatable it is.

Critter Collections
Meet the current collections available to be unlocked!
With each unlock, an ita bag, large enamel pin, and a mini pin set will be available!
The Ita bags are the same size and shape as my prior beeta bag. Please see the video below for an example of what can be stored!
In addition, in a prior project, I designed a large enamel pin with some of the same features as mentioned under Carl the Frog.

💖 WELCOME TO PINTOPIA — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of over 175 creators collectively launching their pin and/or plushie project on BackerKit from January 23rd - February 13.
Be on the lookout for projects that have paired up to be Cross-Collab partners — this means that if you back BOTH projects in the pair (for a physical reward), you will get a limited FREE pin from EACH creator. The more pairs you support, the more FREE pins you earn ✨
And for all you pin-collectors out there, we want to reward your achievements with a limited Gold Pintopia 2025 pin once you support 6 or more Cross-Collab pairs (this reward will be surveyed and shipped by the BackerKit team).

Risks and Challenges
- Colours: - Colours may appear different in real life to how they appear on the screens. - It isn't possible to achieve 100% colour accuracy because pantones are mixed individually and by hand. I will work with the manufacturer to ensure that the colours turn out well.
- Design: - There might be minor changes to the design based on manufacturer's capabilities. This will most likely reflect on the small areas. - There may be potential design changes as the items are being manufactured. Any significant changes will be communicated through updates on Backerkit.
- Delivery: - There might be delays in delivery and original estimated production time. I will post any updates I receive from the manufacturer. - I have added a little bit of wiggle room to include delays, but with covid and shipping delays, there is still the potential for the bags to arrive later than anticipated. I will provide updates as I receive them. - Please note, there won't be any returns due to delays in delivery.
- Chargebacks: - If you ever want to back out of the project AFTER it has been funded, please message me first before filing a chargeback. I will not question why you are backing out and will refund you the payment you have sent. If a chargeback is filed and the name matches the individual filing the chargeback, measures will be taken with future projects.
