Crystal Temps enamel pins

Sing it with me now:

:musical_note: Peridot, Lapis, and Pumpkin...AND CONNIE! :musical_note:

I got a set of enamel pins representing the Crystal Temps. I bought them at an online store called The Mystery Shack. The site does not say who the designer is and they aren't licensed by Cartoon Network as far as I can tell. They allow you to buy any pin individually for $9.99 or get all 4 at a discount for $29.99.

They are pretty nice in person and look slick, though personally I am not a huge fan of the designs chosen for Peridot and Lapis. Let's take a look.

Peridot:

This is her typical alien symbol in a bubble. I understand the alien symbol since she consistently likes this emblem, but she only bubbled once, and she didn't bubble an alien head, so I am not sure why they picked this to represent her.

Lapis:

Lapis's symbol I at least understand; the mirror is strongly connected to her imagery. But I don't think she'd like a symbol of her slavery and imprisonment to become her emblem.

Pumpkin:

This is SO CUTE. They didn't bother to invent a symbol for Pumpkin; it's just Pumpkin, with the party hat Pearl nose. It's larger than the other pins and has two posts on the back.

Connie:

Rose's sword makes sense for Connie as it's connected to Steven while symbolizing that she's the offense of the Steven/Connie relationship. It's a lovely image and has two posts to keep it steady.

Overall I really like these pins!

I'm afraid of losing or damaging them if I put them on my everyday bag so for now they'll chill in my keychain and Mondo pin bowl, but soon I'll find a better way to display them.
