The Poop Troop, is a series of adorably deranged enamel pins originally designed by my then-8-year-old (2023) with zero filter and maximum imagination. Each member of this oddly charming group captures the joys of life—through the universally beloved poop emoji.
Here is the original:

The romantic. Bold. Bashful. Likely to send you a Valentine. We like to think of this one as the leader of the pack.
Chippy Poop
They’ve seen things (but mostly on tv). Can a poop also be a couch-potato? This is my favorite. I love how you can see their mouth is full.
Peaceful Poop
A flower child who definitely would be wearing bell-bottoms but for her lack of pants. Don’t ask, its just their vibe.
Harmony Poop
Dapper, delighted, and fully in command. He leads and all follow joyfully. Absolutely in creative control.
Super Poop
A caped crusader here to clean up the streets… yes… a poop can clean up streets.
Award-Winning Poop
Of course, they’re not #1… the top spot in their universe is #2.
What Did Dad Do?
Each design was lovingly translated into enamel lines by me… her father. With gold-plated edging and softly blushed cheeks, these little weirdos are ready to grace your jacket, your bag, or whatever shrine to chaotic creativity you’ve built.
The Back
Each pin features a rubber clasp back (shown below).
All backers will have access to the full Poop Troop pin set and other options right from the start. But as the campaign grows, we’re also planning to unlock additional designs through stretch goals — because the world clearly needs more intellectually involved poop emojis.
First 48 Hours 💩
If you join the campaign in the first 48 hours, we’ll include a free “Basic Poop” 3.5” vinyl sticker featuring the Troop’s original member (design to come).
Returning Backer Bonus 🎉
A free bonus pin “and… Banana” will be offered to returning backers — as a thank-you for sticking with us even though this has very little to do with space or science and is honestly a giant load of poop. (The bonus pin will also be available as an add-on for new backers.)
Followers Bonus 🕊️
A free “Poop Troop” 2" sticker for all followers who back the campaign.
The campaign kicks off in early July and runs for about four weeks. All six core emoji designs are ready for production. The two stretch goals are waiting to join the party!
Campaign End (early August):
After the campaign wraps, BackerKit will begin processing pledges while we prep the surveys.
Surveys (mid–late August):
Surveys will be sent out roughly two weeks after the campaign ends. BackerKit requires a brief holding period before surveys can be locked in.
Samples & Production (August–September):
While surveys are coming in, we’ll begin producing any last-minute stretch goal designs. Once all samples are approved and surveys hit ~75% completion, we’ll place the full order with the producer.
Shipping (late September / early October):
As soon as the pins arrive at our studio, we’ll start packing and shipping rewards to all backers who’ve completed their surveys. Expect your little poopy friends to land in your mailbox not long after that.
We will accept returns for refunds. Often you can write RTS (US only) and drop it back to us in a US postbox to avoid shipping fees. Our envelopes are re-sealable.
For any flaws or damaged pins, simply provide image evidence of the damage and we will send out a replacement. In many cases, you will not be required to return the item.
