What Do Folks Think About Pop! Pins?

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

These are big time Copyright infringement, the makers labeling them as "unofficial" does not make it ok......Just asking for trouble IMO

Out of principal I refuse to buy any of these “unofficial” pins.

I refuse to buy these since all it would do is encourage the seller to continue making these “unofficial” pins.

I don't blame them for trying to capitalize on the demand.

There is clearly a market for Funk Pop styled pins and if Funko themselves won't make it then fans will cater to fans.

Funko is within their right to Cease & Desist them, but I garantee you more black market pins will open up until Fuko decides to release an official alternative.

The only pins I have are the one that come in the collector corps boxes. I like them. I think Funo should make some specialty ones.

Ohhh, I like some of these pins.

I would love funko to make more. As for the unofficial pins...I think it is more harmful than good to allow it

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?

This would be a neat idea. I really dig the pins that came in the Gamestop Mystery boxes a few years back.

I have a lot from the boxes and I like them but I never where them because I'm afraid to lose them. It's a vicious circle.

Subscription boxes, sorry I should have been more specific. Or are there different types pins and I just showed I don't know everything

[funkosundae]

I already have my hands full with just Pops!, I really don't need to add pins to my collection.

[mactds]

I love the subscription box pins. Have a whole pin board of them.

[Valde]

I kind of miss those buttons, I bought a handful of them but missed out on a ton of the DC exclusives. I wasn't too crazy about the face only pins from the mystery boxes, I still have a bunch though.

[supertoygiant]

I love freddy pins and special events pins, I have quite a collection.

[Hachiman]

I also love some of the fan made pins. The community has made some great pins.

I have a collection of fan pins that we traded and handed out at various Fundays and Night Out events.

[racheva]

I honestly have a huge pile of pins from the boxes and I have no use for them.

I also have the entire SWCO pin set, and while it was super fun to collect, I'm not sure what to do with them now.

Lesson here is I have to stop buying pins!

[Shalee04]

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

Pins are VERY popular!!!

[hailmary25]

I have seen "magnets" (basically rubber cut out of character in pop form) at different conventions

[lessthanfunko]

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.

Tee designs would be pretty amazing
