Pins

The enamel pins are a kind of merchandise that are sold on Crowdmade. They are original designs of characters that are popular on the channel in the form of small, metallic pins.

## Releases

They are released either in pairs, or alone together with a sticker sheet. When they are originally released, it is with a corresponding video, and they are then available for a limited time of two weeks. At the end of November, there is a Black Friday Sale on Crowdmade, where all the pins of that year are sold again. In 2020 the Black Friday stock sold old in only 3 days, prompting OSP to have a significantly larger stock in the following years. This way, they also started having a "spring cleaning sale", where they sell the remaining stock from last Black Friday. OSP has also announced that for "rare, extra-special channel milestones" they will re-release all the pins up to that point, though they don't know when that will be or how many pins that will entail. In 2021, they surprisingly also rereleased the pins from 2020 two days after the start of the Black Friday sale, but it is unclear wether they plan to release the older pins in the next years as well. In 2022, they released special "gold" versions of all the pins for the Black Friday sale, where the normally black lines are now gold. However, they stated that they don't have any plans to ever bring the gold versions back after the sale.

With Ursa Major in February 2023 OSP released the first Pin with details that glow in the dark.

## Trivia

* So far, Red & Blue are the only humans to have pins.
* The Red & Blue Pins are the plushies that are lying on the armchair in Detail Diatribes and OSP After Dark streams. The designs were also available on shirts (and may be available as actual plushies one day).
* With the addition of Aphrodite & Hephaestus, the Olympian pantheon is fully rounded out.
* The pins come in a small package, pinned to a little card with a fitting symbol on it:
	+ Artemis has a hunting bow with a crescent moon, Apollo has a bow with a golden sun (as they're both gods of archery).
	+ Ares has a Spartan helmet, Hermes has the Caduceus (a staff entwined by two snakes).
	+ Hades has a skull wearing a crown, Persephone has a pomegranate.
	+ Loki has a salmon.
	+ Zeus has a cloud with lightning, Hera has a peacock.
	+ Athena has an owl, Poseidon has a trident.
	+ Dionysus has a bunch of grapes.
	+ Demeter has stalks of wheat, Hestia has a column brazier.
	+ Aphrodite has hearts, Hephaestus has a hammer.
	+ Red & Blue have the OSP logo in their respective colors.
	+ Ursa Major has the Ursa Major constellation.
	+ Thor has Mjolnir, Odin has his ravens (Huginn and Muninn).
	+ Gilgamesh & Enkidu have cuneiform of their respective names.
	+ Taurus has the Taurus constellation.
* Ares is in a jar, as a reference to him being locked in a "big bronze jar for an entire lunar year" in the myth of his abduction.
* Persephone has a pomegranate in her hand, as a reference to her having eaten a few pomegranate seeds while she was in the underworld for the first time, which bind her to the underworld.
* Hades, on the other hand, holds a purple flower, which is likely a reference to Persephone often being seen as the goddess of spring.
* Hades and Persephone also extend their hands, which can be arranged as them looking like they're holding hands.
* Athena has an aegis / shield with a gorgon head on it, an item she is typically depicted with.
* Hera is holding a peacock, one of her most common symbols. In the myth of Io she even creates the pattern on the feathery tail of the peacock by placing the eyes of Argus on it after he'd been killed by Hermes.
* Aphrodite is holding the Golden Apple of Discord, which she got by promising Helen of Troy to Paris, ultimately playing a major part in the start of the Trojan War.
* Aphrodite can sit on both Ares' jar and Hephaestus' anvil (see here).
* Gilgamesh & Enkidu's pins are designed to appear as though they are fist bumping.
* Blue has referred to the collection of pins as the "pintheon" on the stream, where the Red & Blue Pins were announced.
