❄️ IceScream Cryptids – 8# Update! - Pumkin Pup Tie, News & more about the Cook Book
2 months ago – Tue, Jan 13, 2026 at 10:42:23 AM

Hi, Cryptid Friends!

❄️ IceScream Cryptids – 🎃🐶 Pumpkin Pup Tie - Who will win, the Pug or thas Mastiff? Just a few Hours left!

Hi, Cryptid Friends!


It's sooo close!

Will Pumpkin Pup be a pug? Or a mastiff? It's a tie between them, but each of them desperately wants to go down in history as Pumpkin Pup! However, there are only a few hours left to decide.
Let's not forget the Labrador and the Jack Russell, of course ;).

Vote here:
Poll - Which Pumkin Pup design would you choose?


And don't forget to follow the Campaign, if you didn't yet.



Any other News? Oh, yeees!
I wanted to tell you, that I've found a (new) manu for the Cryptids!
That early?
Yes! ;)
Because they're so detailed and have that many effects, I started looking for a Pin Factory at End of December. Fist I wanted to go with one of the biggest ones, buuut ... well, they had issues to get the glass-like Cup done, (For them the Clear stained Glass Area was too small.) and so there wasn't much I couldn't work with at the samples.

So I was Standing between three Options ...
1. Go with the Big One but forget about the stained Glass (No way!)
2. Go with the Big One but make tons of changes (Tooooo... MUCH WORK! And ... NOPE.)
Or maybe even ... choose 3!
3. Looking for another (more specialized) Manufacturer.

I had her in mind for a Project I wanted to launch in Summer 26 (that one with the fish 🐠)
 
After writing with her about the possiblities, she mailed me some Infos about the costs + shipping this mornig ...
And well, I coun't be happier about the Decision to ask her!!! ;D

The only Pin that will probably be produced by the Fist Manu is the "1 Inch Fresno Nightcrawler Mini Pin" from the Banner Group - it is much cheaper there.


For those who are interested: the pins will officially have colorful clutches, which makes them even more unique!

Cook Books and Reciepe Cards

Our Poll from 2 Days ago ...
IceScream Cryptid Cook Book
... says we'll get a Cook Book with cookable IceCream Recieps. But It's still time to Vote.

Means: Costs will be a little higher for the real reciepe than for the Monster reciepes.

Version A: Recipes that are suitable for humans and just look more or less creepy
25 € Softcover / 10 € E-Book

Version B: A freaky Cook Book for Monsters & Cryptids
20 € Softcover / 7 €  E-Book

Since I can let produce softcover books starting at just 5 copies at a low unit price at my trusted printing company, the Cryptid Cook Book will not be a separate stretch goal.

Instead, I can offer it alongside the pins.
The cookbook will therefore be unlocked together with Mothman from the very beginning. The Prices from the new Manu give me even a little more space.

A big advantage of this is that:
📦 The book can be printed in any quantity
💰 I don't have to worry about it reducing the income from the pins
💛 For you, this means a significantly lower price✨


The Recipe Cards are back and available as AddOns! (Single & Full Pack of Reciepe Cards!)
(huh, they have been away?)
They were an early Idea for the Project, then I threw them of the Pledge Level / AddOn List - and now they're back!!!

(I'll try to send a Design Prewiev before the Big Day.)

They will have the Format of a Postcard ...
A6 / 105 x 148 mm
... and will have the Pin Design with the Plates in some GOLD FOIL or SILVER FOIL on the one Side
... plus the Reciepe from the Book on the other Side.



Best Regards,
Akitaya

And last but not least, here's ... 🥁 ... The Vampire!

But should the Berry Blood sauce, has been poured over the ice cream be "Pearly Blood" or rather "Glitter Blood"

3. Poll - Vampire - Pearly Berry Blood or Glitter Berry Blood?








Thanks for Voting, Friends!
