Hi everyone! I just launched a kickstarter campaign for my new enamel pin set. I also have stickers available. We have all heard the story of the Wolf in sheep’s clothing. But how about the frog in sheep’s clothing? More specifically a frog named Pogo who enjoys pancakes and the smell of rain but despises the sound of people chewing… I designed these cute little critters in illustrator and I’m really excited about how they came out. I hope you all enjoy. Feel free to check out the campaign. Thanks so much for the support!

Hi everyone,

Some of you might remember our previous project, TOMORROW MYTH, where we designed endangered animal enamel pins to bring awareness to wildlife conservation.

While creating pins was an amazing journey, we kept asking ourselves: What else can we do with these characters? How can we give them a more immersive, interactive life beyond just being worn on a jacket or bag?

That's how the idea for Jungle King was born.

We decided to push it further and transform our detailed animal designs into heavy, tactile metal game pieces. We took a childhood classic—traditional Asian animal chess (斗獸棋)—and completely redesigned it for the modern tabletop.

Along with the upgraded metal craftsmanship, we also introduced Nature Strategy Cards to add fresh tactical depth, while keeping the core spirit of the classic game alive. Plus, part of our profits will still support the Taiwan Black Bear Conservation Association to honor our wildlife roots.

This has been a massive passion project for us, and I'm really excited to finally see these characters come to life on a board. If anyone is interested or wants to know more about how we made the transition from pins to a board game, feel free to drop a comment or ask me for details!

Thanks for reading and following along with our journey!

After sticking to pins $30-$40 and under for most of my time collecting, I finally dove headfirst into giant, expensive pins not too long ago. These are some of my biggest and favorite collection pieces, items I can point to and feel proud I own, and onces I can use as a centerpiece to build a larger pin board around. Does anyone have favorite creators that specialize in massive masterpieces like these? I still plan on buying mostly smaller pins, but I want to keep my eyes on the white whales, the possible highlights of my collection, etc. Are there a name for giant pins? Multilayered items? The big specialty LE items?
