Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally come! Virtual Boy and Virtual Girl enamel pins are now for sale on my Etsy store! There are 90 Virtual Boy pins and 10 Virtual Girl pins. I’m asking $12 plus shipping to anywhere in the world. If we run out, don’t be discouraged. I will try to make it so everyone has a chance to get one.
It depends. Nintendo themselves show the stand both ways. I have them the other way when I play but this way when I display it. I feel like this way shows the medallion when displaying the system.
We got the final proof for the pins today. There are 3 variants here. The top two are soft enamel pins. The bottom is a soft enamel pin with an epoxy coating with screen print to get the logo. These are “experimental” styled pins. The bottom right is the back of the pin that has mine and the artist’s logos. The legs look different than the mock up because of the thinness of the legs needing to be worked around for manufacturing.
These are only mock ups at the moment. We were trying to see if the detail of the logo would be too small in the metal of the pin (why it looks light). It seems it would maybe work if we screen printed the logo on it but that is experimental process and may not work.
This most recent update that the VB version is only a stretch goal has really rubbed me the wrong way. I supported this project for a while on Patreon because we were promised a VB game. I’m sorry, I’m sure the game will be great but it’s not getting another dime from me.
Personally I just leave the labels and just seek out better ones later on if I really like the game. It’s usually frowned upon among collectors but TBH it’s your money and we can’t tell you what to do with it.
