Hello, contributors! As this campaign reaches it's glorious end (thanks again), I wanted to remind you that you'll be getting an email in the coming days from my fulfillment partner, Backerkit. Backerkit will confirm your order and allow you to make additions or changes. Additions you can make include the Glow-In-The-Dark TV Patch, additional TV Pin Packs, and the Special Edition TV Pin Pack. You can also verify your shipping information and even plunk money into a virtual tip jar for me. How about that? Below are some example images of what that email and cart experience looks like, so that it's familiar to you when it appears. Thanks again for making this project a success!

Love,
Josh Ellingson

Hello. We've reached the tail end of the Indiegogo campaign for Glow-In-The-Dark TV Pins and holy-moly, what a campaign it's been! As of last night, the project is 1800% funded and I've been packaging the products to stay ahead of the demand. So far, I've got about 600 pin packs ready to ship.

Thank you, dear reader for whatever support or attention you gave to this. If you backed a pin, I hope you love it.

Thank you to Flint, Michigan's Factory Two makerspace and specifically Marcus Bieth for his expertise in sticker printing. Thanks to Ham and Winnie for overseeing the manufacturing of these pins. Thanks and appreciation to Rusty Blazenhoff, Bonnie Burton, Leef Smith, Lori Dorn, Doctor Popular, and everyone else that promoted and ignited enthusiasm for this unlikely project. 

Keep your eyes peeled for emails from me and/or Backerkit in the coming days to confirm your order and shipping information. With Backerkit, you'll be able to change or upgrade your order with add-ons and exclusive items.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Tell a friend about my pin! It'll be a hit at the Halloween party!

Love,
Josh Ellingson

This campaign has been such a success that I've designed a black-and-gold "Special Edition" version of the TV pin for contributors. A small batch has arrived from the manufacturer and they look spectacular. The screen is white with a minty-green glow and it glows so bright that you don't even need to turn out the lights! The Special Edition pack also comes with 7 new screen stickers that are interchangeable with the original sticker set.

How to Get The Special Edition in 3 Steps 

  1. Claim at least one standard TV Pin With Sticker Pack perk. If you've already done this, you don't have to do it again.

  2. Wait for an email from Backerkit after the campaign ends

  3. Add the Special Edition to your order as per Backerkit's instructions

The Special Edition TV Pin will be available as a $10 add-on item to current contributors after the campaign ends via my campaign managment service, Backerkit. Contributors must have reserved at least one standard edition "TV Pin With Sticker Pack" during the campaign in order to add a Special Edition to their order. The Special Edition is limited to one-per-contributor. As this campaign reaches it's end, I'll post a reminder to be on the lookout for a notification from Backerkit so you can reserve your special add-on items.

Thanks again for the encouragement and support!

TV patches are back from the manufacturer and they look great!  They are now available as a $5 add-on perk here at Indiegogo. If you've already backed my campaign, you'll be able to add the patch to your order after the campain has ended. Be on the lookout for an email from Backerkit for that. New contributors can add the patch to their order when they reserve any of the pin/sticker sets right on Indiegogo. Tell a friend!

TV Patch Animated

"This is an embroidered version of my 1975 General Electric model 12XB9104V television set. The screen is stitched with glow-in-the-dark thread, so it lights up in the dark after being charged with sunlight or indoor lighting. The patch is roughly 3 inches in diameter and has an iron-on backing."

This campaign has been completely bonkers, so far. Thanks again to everyone that has contributed, tweeted, shared, liked, commented, laughed, and supported me on this weird and fun adventure. I'll keep you posted when more strangeness occurs.
