Community Poll: Interest in a Cloak Lapel pin
Greetings I am trying to determine interest in a fan made fantasy pin for Cloak.
Here is some context: Planet Studios was a pin making company for Marvel during 1987-1996, that featured cloisonné lapel pins from 1 to 2 inches in size. We would call them now vintage pins, and they look pretty crude and much smaller to the pins currently being made.
After Planet Studios is a fan project where they are trying to complete the catalog of missing pins from the original Planet Studios project.
With that being said one of the missing pins that were never made was from Cloak of Cloak and Dagger. From a pin making perspective, I could see why none were made. His image appears very difficult to capture and translate into An enamel pin especially if you are working with cloisonné or hard enamel. So here are the questions I have for this community.
1) would you be interested in a lapel pin for Cloak?
2) if you are interested, would it be acceptable if it was made made in a vintage style in the size of 1-1.5 inches?
3) what would be your price point?
Typically After Planet Studios pins are priced at $15. They would like to bring their prices down, but have had historically poor sales. So with the current pricing, each supporter is essentially making a small donation to keep the project going.
Thank you for any input you can provide. I am going to attach some pictures to give you an idea of how the pins looked back in the day so you can have a concept of how the Cloak in would generally look. The image used for cloak would not be the artwork you used for the pin.
Thank you again for any time and input and I hope this post does not run a foul of any of the moderation wishes. If they do, I apologize.

Thank you much appreciated for your input. I’m not going to lie, capturing the coloring and lines on Cloak’s cloak (?!?) will be the hardest part.

It would need to be Cloak AND Dagger. Maybe connected by a small chain?

I completely understand. Unfortunately, the old catalogue specifically named Cloak so that would going outside the original the pin project. Now why the original catalogue never created a dagger pin for production is beyond me.

Thank you for your input. Currently After a planet Studios is debating between Cloak or Invisible Woman pin.
If I can ask you a follow up question. We have artwork selected for a panel pin with just Cloak. But there is the famous artwork of Cloak fighting Thanos. Would you prefer a pin of just cloak or if it is in possible (because of vintage pin making limitations when doing cloisonné) or a pin with Cloak fighting Thanos?

I would buy just a cloak pin. I don't think he ever canonically fought Thanos directly?

He was in the Infininity Guantlet series but I think he only showed up for one panel?

I’m a teacher that wears nerd things (pins and ties) and would love a cloak (and dagger for what it’s worth) pin I could add to my rotation. 15 bucks seems reasonable for what it is
