Ok, I’m putting it out there that I just don’t get the appeal of Fansets products.
This has been one kind of tie-in merchandising that is a bit of a head shaker. I know there are certain countries in Europe where collecting fandom pins is a huge thing. Who actually wears badges and pins in North America however unless they are usable in cosplay?
(Meanwhile my spouse and I are trying to figure out how to score a Cerritos in the Master Replicas sale this week, and are ignoring the lack of remaining display space in our home.)
I have a bunch of pins on various bags. I don't like the Fansets ones that much, though.
A pin on a bag would seem less like a political campaign statement. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, most of my pins are from various podcasts.
I do have a couple vegan pins, and until it sadly fell off, I did have a COVID-19 Vaccinated pin designed to look like the Ninja Turtles logo. Those are the most political things I generally wear.
I think it's one of those things that the people who are into it are really into it.
Personally, I just like signal-boosting merch.
That’s the way I see it. The sets with images of characters etc just don’t seem like something I would ever wear.
This collection turns out to be mainly insignia pins based on costumes which seems like a more viable niche. Our kids would have loved to have had these when they were tweens. I spent an entire con with one of them looking for naught at every vendor for a Discovery-style communicator pin.
Not sure why signal boosting graphics on clothes feels different. I’m happy to wear my t-shirts and hoodies, and our family has many independently-designed licensed ones from teepublic.
