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.
