The Pins Arrived… But…
So the pins arrived. These look great.
Problem is…
Yeah. The Vostok one is right. The other two are HUGE at 4". As if that wasn’t bad enough…
Yup, the ISS pin at 1.7...

Surveys Are Coming, New Project for Patches
We just launched a new project featuring embroidered patch versions of some of the missions we just featured here.
The set already includes Apollo and Vostok. For stretch...
We will start shipping out the rest of the rewards once they arrive. So far only about 25% have been shipped based on:
If you said you didn’t mind the oddly sized pins
If you backed two campaigns, we combined your orders, but moved the three pins over to a second shipment. So if anyone is missing the LRV, ISS or Shuttle pins in your reward this is why.
If you had a large order, we did the same as above and split your order with the reprints coming as a second shipment.

Yeah. The Vostok one is right. The other two are HUGE at 4". As if that wasn’t bad enough…
Yup, the ISS pin at 1.75" is that much smaller looking than the Vostok pin at around 2.2" wide.
REPRINTING
So we are working with the producer to get these at the right size so the set looks cohesive. All three will appear at an average 2" in scale like the rest of this and the Historic Robotic Spacecraft Series. We do still expect these to ship in time for the holidays.
If you want a copy of these monsters check them out in our Holiday Shop. They were made with a lighter and thinner material so the weight is not as bad as you might expect. They are REALLY nice at this size. Just totally inconsistent.
Well, yeah… the ISS is just too small. Still nice, but going bigger is nicer than going too small. That one is in the shop too for only $6.
We’re back with a brand-new campaign—this time to fund a set of embroidered mission patches inspired by both our Giant Leaps and the Historic Robotic Spacecraft enamel pin series. The base lineup includes Apollo • Voyager • Cassini • Mars Science • Sputnik • Vostok. But thanks to early backers, we’ve already unlocked three more: Space Shuttle • ISS • Viking.
That’s nine patches total—with more in reach! Next up: Spirit & Opportunity, Gemini, and New Horizons.
Each patch comes with iron-on backing by default, but you can upgrade to velcro for just $1.
If you loved the pins, consider joining us again for the patch series.
I started this one long before the campaign was even posted. Ideally, I wanted this to arrive while it was still live… but it just arrived yesterday. The rest are all getting samples made. Once they are approved, it should be just three weeks to arrival.
