    Thanks, so, what's to just stop anyone from just printing out a copy, laminating it and then popping out in a similar style of stand?

    I don't understand how these things are attractive or relevant? They're too big to be used as badges, too flat and generic to be entice me away from the toys or other similarly themed merchandise and too easy to copy and make myself.

    Are these 2 dimensional cells in 3 dimensional display boxes? I am not trying to be funny. I am having difficulty telling what these are.

    They would be fun on a corkboard. You could stick them to the board like pushpins and have them holding your child’s report card or latest Crayon masterpiece!

    They are pins in the sense that they have pin backs. But normally they are big and heavy and awkward to wear. I think the makers knew most people wouldn't not wear them so they put them in a display box. If you're into pins, its kind of a cool setup. If you don't care about pins, it's a pretty hard sell.

    Figpins are similar to other enamel pins, in this case it\'s a wearable pin that can be displayed worn, standing on its own or display its own case.

    Cool, so Bumblebee is a US Target exclusive and Starscream is a FiGPiN exclusive who do not ship outside of the US.

    Collection incomplete before it begins.

    I don't see you making these yourself, tbh. They're quite thick and extremely sturdy. Personally I like personalizing backpacks and such with enamel pins, so I've got a few. I actually really like them. Easily the highest quality enamel pins I've ever had.
