Star Trek pin producer FanSets, who launched their first Star Trek: Discovery pins at the Las Vegas convention in early August, announced on social media this week that what started as a five-pin set is expected to expand at warp speed with almost two dozen more entries!
The company’s first Discovery releases include a pin featuring the series logo, as well as the USS Shenzhou, Starfleet officers Saru and Phillipa Georgiou, and Klingon leader T’Kuvma. In addition, a CBS All Access-themed Shenzhou variant has been produced by the company as a ThinkGeek exclusive.
On Tuesday, the company revealed they will be adding a whopping 19 more releases to their Discovery line.

With the six characters named above — Starfleet officers Stamets, Tilly, Lorca, and Culber; Ambassador Sarek; Klingon officer L’Rell — that leaves thirteen more pin designs yet to be revealed. Naturally we expect the USS Discovery, Michael Burnham, Harry Mudd, and Kol, but there’s still plenty of remaining slots to fill in that target number.
Lew Halboth from FanSets appeared on the TrekGeeks podcast earlier this month, where he confirmed a Burnham pin is on the way, and also detailed that while the company will be continuing to roll out Trek pins from across the franchise, they plan to heavily focus on Discovery for at least “the next eight months.”
We’ll bring you the latest news on this product line as soon as it breaks!
