Pinsider 04-04-2016
So, April will be a bit of a quiet month for Privateer Pins as we build up to our major wave of Lock & Load releases (when we really bring on the awesome), but that doesn’t mean we can’t tip our hand a bit about what’s coming in May. And next month, we’ll reveal the rest . . . AND tell you about the pins coming for Lock & Load GameFest 2016 in June.
We’re releasing five new pins in May: a new logo, two more pins in the cereal line, a new chibi, and the third addition to our IK Football Helmet collection. You can bet all of these lines will see even greater expansion as the convention season commences!
Kudos to Laine Garrett for her clever addition to our Honey Bunches of Goats pin, the tagline “Kid Approved.” (She and her team have another clever tagline when we get to Cephalyx Toast Crunch this June!) She also pulled out all the stops with the clever visuals on our latest helmet for the Five Fingers Dicers (which, at one point, was dangerously close to the logo of a pizza delivery service, an unlikely business among pirates . . . ) Finally, a couple of folks guessed Feora would be our trade-only, Lock & Load-exclusive chibi character. BZZZT! Wrong answer! But chibi Feora IS coming soon in May, and here’s a look at her. You’ll just have to wait and see who we create for Lock & Load . . . but we won’t reveal it here. You’ll have to attend to find out!
Tune in next month for the first reveal of those pins and the rest of our May releases!
