Thoughts on POP! Pins?!?!

Postby **popfanboy** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:13 pm

What is everyone's thoughts on the new pins? I personally am not going to buy any but I wouldn't mind some in the subscription boxes. Do you think this and POP! Home are over saturation? Maybe a little.

They're small and easy to hang off a push pin into the wall, i'm in.

I'll pass. I thought the home series was pushing it. I'd say the home series will be successful, but I don't think people will find pins practical enough. Best of luck Funko!

We already collect pins from places/events we go to as well as Hard Rock Cafe pins, so these are a no brainer for us, we'll definitely be adding some to our collection!

I know someone who is a HUGE pin collector. He is very happy about the news

(but not for his wallet lol

)

I love pins because they're a small, durable, and cheap keepsake and are very easy to display in a number of places. While I probably won't get tons of these, for my favorite characters I'll be sure to pick some up.

I think they look great, following suit with the freddy pin from the Pop Asia Starter Kit. I think a bulletin board full of my favorite characters would be awesome to hang up on the wall.

They look good and I'm sure they will sell well but not for me, Stina might like them though

Postby **homietrav** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:58 pm

Ill buy a couple. i love pins!

Postby **treswright** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:10 pm

I have zero interest in pins. All my MCC pins are still in the boxes. But hey, if others love them then rock on Funko :-)

Postby **Maclay** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:11 pm

I'll have to get myself the Harley pin for sure.

Postby **saul_damascus** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:12 pm

I don't know what they are

Postby **HappinessGuano** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:30 pm

Oh, man, I'm excited for these! I hope these take off like the keychain Pop!s.

Postby **zOnesTarX** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:33 pm

Gonna be a pass for me, but cool for the people that enjoy pins

Postby **pop_jumper** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 4:33 pm

I think Home pushes it a bit, but PINS?

Yes.

Yez, Funko. Pins I like. Pins I will buy (at a reasonable price.)

Pins are more practical than any of the home decor. Pins you can wear, put on your backpacks or purses, heck, even stick em in a cork board and display them. I am stoked.

He's got the right idea.

I've been collecting pins on and off for years, and I'm currently back on, so I'm intrigued.

If we get Wolverine, Superman, Ghost Rider, Doctor Who, Supernatural and Horror, I'm in!!
However I mostly collect Marvel Pins, so the more of them the better!

I'm also curious of some of the dislike of the Home. I personally would love more items with Pops on them, but I'm pretty particular about which ones. Basically what I'd love in Pin form would be cool to me, anything outside of that I probably wouldn't get, but I can't blame Funko for wanting to branch out while the money is good.

Yea I'm excited. This is what I did with the MCC ones

Ohhh forgot about these. Time to flip them when pins become more popular than POP! :smile_ears:

Postby **FunkoNinja** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 5:15 pm

All these pins yet still no Funko lanyard. I know that they had one in the Pop! Asia Starter Pack but I have not heard of any other place you could get them.

Postby **jhorsley23** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 5:18 pm

I think they're pretty dumb, but to each their own.

Postby **nerdandcheese** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 5:23 pm

Love the Flash pin!

Postby **jinxykat** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 6:18 pm

I'll definitely be picking a few of them up, I love pins!!!

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 6:43 pm

Pins .. ?

Gee .. I wonder why no one ever thought of these before .. lol

Postby **Funko5ker** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 6:58 pm

have a small pin collection so I'm all in for these

Postby **Jango_Fresh** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 7:06 pm

Love them!

Postby **zaghawk** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 8:01 pm

Disney Pins are the only pins I ever really pay for and even then my family own picks up like 2-4 pieces on a Disney trip. I think the Funko pins are neat, I don't see myself hardcore collecting them, but if a cool piece comes up I like I'll buy it

Postby **JBiz** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 8:12 pm

I'm sure they'll be hugely successful, as many people collect pins. But aside from maybe grabbing a Spider-man, out of obligation, they aren't for me. Stoked for all the pin collectors though.

Postby **BigM** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 9:16 pm

I collect pins so I'll be getting characters that I like.

Stina will definitely add them to her lanyard if she can find room! I was thinking that is what I would love them for!

Love this idea. I'm in.

I may buy 1 or 2 depending on their design. But I must admit that I am more interested in the SPN keychains. They look very tiny and cute!

Postby **saul_damascus** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 10:13 pm

Is there a link to this? Or is it speculation at this point

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 10:19 pm

From the Funko Announcement :

Pop! Pins

With Pop! Pins you can accessorize with your favorite Pop! figure!

From do-gooders, like Batman, Flash, and Iron Man,
to agents of chaos like Harley Quinn, Deadpool, and Loki,
there’s something for everyone!

These 1.25 inch enamel Pop! Pins are coming in November!

Postby **BlueberryWaffles** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 10:52 pm

Meh. Not much of a pin guy. But I'm sure Funko will make about a thousand different exclusive pins per convention. lol

Also I bet anything there will be a Venom one in the October MCC box.

Postby **allhermight** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 11:02 pm

Not for me, but I would probably get a couple of Marvel ones if they came out with my favorites.

Postby **RedRoo** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 11:35 pm

OMG OMG OMG GIMMIE DA FLASH!....also the mini supernatural keychains to plz :P

Postby **Rexus** » Thu Oct 01, 2015 11:45 pm

I love pins and already have two Funko ones from the Pop Asia starter Kit so I'll definitely pick up the Harley Quinn and hopefully a Captain America one in the future
