Especially video game, horror and funny/cute stuff. I have spent alot on these useless metal things.
I do. The partner and I get them from places we go. We also hot glue push pins onto smoosh pennys to make more pins.
i have a cork board filled with them. i kinda collected them as a kid as souvenirs, and then going to music festivals i saw so many more.
I have a bunch of pins of consoles, handhelds and controllers from the N64/GameCube gen that I really like, as well as 2 figpins of Beavis and Butthead. Yourself?
That's neat! The only pin I have to my name is a red cross pin the one time I gave blood, lol. Sounds like a good hobby.
Nice! It's fun, especially if you get a board to pin em on and display, but it can be expensive 😅
I have a "this machine kills fascists" pin that we found in my grandpa's World War 2 shit after he died. I wear it to work sometimes.
Those people who have like a bag covered in pins are cool. Where do you actually get started on something like that?
Conventions (Comic/anime/etc.) are great, if not maybe Etsy? Lots of great ones on there.
Yeah. I put them on my backpack. Which I kinda' regret because in total they're kinda' heavy and make using it slightly more cumbersome, but it looks awesome at least.
I love pins. Since some have kinda shitty backings and I am attached to them, a lot of them sit in a bowl like I'm some sort of crow. My personal fave is probably Pikachu with a banjo. I also hope to buy the Dunsparce ones when I get the chance, as merch of my favorite Poke is kinda rare.
Is it this one by chance?
And Dunsparce is cute, lil fanged slug thing.
Yeah, I basically grabbed that deck up the second I could. Another cool aspect was it had a code for the online TCG so I had band Pokemon decksleeves.
I have like gajillion they/them pins.
I also have a few political pins, that I've gotten here and there
Probably the coolest horror one I have is from They Live: It's a tv set with the 2 alien reporters on it, and it changes to static when you change angles.
Sorry for the delay! Here's the page for it that shows off the effect better than I could!
I do! I mostly have queer and politicial pins
