CA'PINS LOG SPRING 2021
Pleasant greetings and salutations on the eve of this Spring season. The gentle shift in the day bearing warmth and energy is propelling us swiftly towards a mighty period of growth and we are excited to finally share the fruits of our laborious Winter.
In the coming days there will be a pin drop so intergalactic that neither the pin nor the pop-culture game will ever be the same. A collaboration so MASSIVE that it was bound to occur within the confines of our mutual nerd love with Clay Graham @claygrahamart for the one and only world-eater Galactus. That is all we will reveal for now, but his arrival is imminent and we consider the Surfer to have heralded it so.
Our Empire Strikes Back tribute series will continue in late May with Sick Mind Pins @sick_mind_pins as we will be revealing Part II of V.
The intention of these pieces will be to showcase the scenic elements which are often overshadowed by the characters and their choice of weapon/vehicle, to instead highlight the essence of set pieces in scenes of great importance to plot development and overall story itself.
The Main Generator was the only thing standing between annihilation and survival for the Rebellion. It's destruction was crucial to the capture of Skywalker for Vader. General Veers did his best to reach it in time, but in the end even it's destruction was moot when the Millennium Falcon escaped and Luke flew away to Dagobah. However, the relevance in our hearts for it's dramatic importance within the opening battle sequence will always be the most memorable thing about Hoth.
Dropping in early May will be a reunion collaboration with GhotiCzys. When we combine our powers on something it always comes out better than even we expect, so our anticipation for this one is running at an all-time high as the design concept is once we have been drooling to create for a few years now. Ghoti smashed it and in the end we came up with two variants that should bring the ruckus.
Finally, coming in early June will be a capsule collection in honor of our first mate and fluffy life-companion The Sultan (of Agrabah) who is turning 12 years old. It will consist of a limited edition pin, patch and t-shirt and will be available in a combo for those who want the full experience of
SCALLY-WAGRABAH.
At that point we will update the log again with what is coming for Summer 2021, but let's just say for now we will see a revisit to our Tarantino homage series, the first ever "diss-pin" which is sure to slide into pin history and part III & IV of our ESB tribute with Sick Mind Pins.
Thanks for traveling on this wild ride of ours. We will have a new exclusive crew badge for all orders starting in May. It will be called The Dolly and will be raised gold metal with purple hard enamel and feature glow for the first time in the logo series instead of glitter. We look forward to dropping it in to you soon.
Peace, love & YARG!
