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.

A picture of the final proof of the pin was sent to me today. It still needs the final touches.

I’ll just make them an offer they can’t refuse **godfather hand gestures** 🤣

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.

I have the mock up that the pin artist made of both pins. We’re looking at a soft enamel pin and may do some screen printing. This is a WIP.

Damn, Kevin. Those are freakin sexy!

I’m happy to help if you need folks and can’t find anyone else 🙂

I appreciate it! This took me much longer than I wanted it to.

Thanks! I’m kinda proud of this one.

Thank YOU! I was worried the video wouldn’t do it justice. I’m trying to better my channel as a whole and your video was my dip in the water.

I love how they’re reminiscent of the NA labels. This is all such great work.

Sweet! Can’t wait to see what this is like. I downloaded a VM specifically for when this was available. I’ll be adding this to my Hyper Flash video!

That’s some neat information that’s come to light regarding DH! Welcome to the forum too, Jim!

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.

This is great to see! I feel like this opens up a lot of possibilities for homebrew.

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.

This looks great! Thanks for this! I’ve been wanting to make boxes for a few things for a while.

I loved this game so much. Not even just because of the VB reference in the Virtual Boo but also how many little nods to the system there were in things like the map screen colors, little VB logos in E. Gadd’s lab, the game carts that function has assist items to help find gems/boos, and a lot of nods to Mario Clash with the green pipes Gooigi travels through.
