What Do Folks Think About Pop! Pins?

Postby **BikerGeek** » Tue May 29, 2018 9:44 pm

I've seen some that are just circular, with the head of the pop in that, but I'm more thinking of something along the lines of the actual pop figure in pin form. Not a full-on 3D model, but the actual profile of the whole pop. I've been on a pin kick of late and something like this I think would be cool. Do these exist?

I’ve seen some non-official versions of these. I got the GITD Green Lantern one recently. As far as pop pins official go, I have all of the DC characters. Love them!

Like enamel? I actually like the old circular metal pins. I don't know if I'd be scooping up enamel ones. I think maybe for con exclusives, they would be great, but how long will the pin craze continue?

I like pins in general so pop ones would be great. Loved the one we got at FDO this year. It would be nice to get some more that aren’t exclusive to the events just so I can add more to my collection

I love enamel pins and would love pop figure pins.

Came in here to say this. They really knocked it out of the park with that pin. The shirt and the pin were easily my favourite thing from this years FDO.

I’m loving some for the pins for sure. Can’t wit to see what they come up with next

I think the pins would be awesome! They would go great too in the subscription boxes.

Yeah. The circular ones seem too "easy" for me...now make them of the whole shape of the Pop, so that each one's unique...now we're cookin with gas!

I actually got my first pin(FDO) from this forum from a giveaway I won. It's really great looking, glad to have it and will wear it when I go to sdcc this year. lol

I have the pins from the first year of Marvel's Collectors Corps and those a top quality pins.

Postby **RobinBear177** » Tue May 29, 2018 11:06 pm

Yes! The design is AWESOME. I have 2 but I kept them in the plastic instead of putting them on my jacket with the rest of my pins because I just love them so much!

I have a couple of pins that Funko has put out. If they brought characters out that were the same form as the FDO pin I would definitely buy them

completely agree the FDO pin is fantastic.... that said, I have seen some unofficial ones on IG and they look pretty decent.... I've been tempted to get a few.... lol

I can see myself falling down the rabbit hole of Freddy pins and must admit that I never realised there were so many

That's the only drawback (if you can call it that) right? Think of all the Pops you might have, and then now think of them all in pin form...hahah.

I’m not usually a pin person (I have no idea what to actually do with them), but ....it’s Freddy!

If Funko made them officially id buy some, just depends on character.

I'm a huge fan of enamel pins, and I'd love to add some full-body characters to my lanyard!

Postby **post31** » Wed May 30, 2018 12:08 am

Pins and lanyards I’m in all the way. Hopefully horror and sci-fi ones if I’m lucky.

Postby **Clutch** » Wed May 30, 2018 12:13 am

I love pins. Especially the event specific ones.

Postby **Mos_Eisley** » Wed May 30, 2018 12:17 am

Yes, pins like the FDO pin would be great.

Postby **wash2366** » Wed May 30, 2018 12:18 am

Pins aren't that popular but I love pins. Especially if there is cool corresponding banner to pin it on.

Postby **jayyy714** » Wed May 30, 2018 12:41 am

I love pop pins! I would love for them to make more!

Postby **cheekylyssa** » Wed May 30, 2018 12:53 am

I’d love more pins - so many characters that need pop pin love.

Full figure Pop in is a cool idea. Not sure if they will continue to make pins after the Pop head ones.

Oooo i like the full figure pop idea. Its give the pin more pop and stand out ability.

Postby **rowanofthestrata** » Wed May 30, 2018 1:09 pm

I'm pretty sure there would be a big market for pins in general...look at those Disney pin collectors! haha

I'd want a simple 'Funko' logo pin to sport on my lapel, haha.

I've come across a few sites with unofficial pins -

Pins would be awesome. I got a fundays pin last year and it looks great. I am sure they could do some awesome stuff, Like pins of some tee designs.

Postby **Kwik_One** » Wed May 30, 2018 4:08 pm

Already tryIng to limit my collection so I’m going to pass on pins but I hope those that want them will get them.

Me too! They're great quality so I would love to see what Funko does with something like pop pins!

Postby **Hachiman** » Wed May 30, 2018 7:46 pm

Pins are pretty niche but I love them. Blind pins are fun to, especially if they are convention merch and you can have pin trade/swap sessions.

I've seen some pretty cool ones, too!

There are some really great unofficial ones, just afraid if I get into pins it'll be like when I was into disney ones all over again.
