Licensed pin manufacturer FanSets is continuing their roll-out of Star Trek releases for 2018, and as we head into the early days of summer, we have some new reveals for upcoming pins arriving over the next few months.
This past month, three new Trek pins debuted: Star Trek Beyond Kirk (their second Kelvin Timeline entry), wheelchair-bound “Menagerie” Pike, and green-skinned Vina in her Orion appearance from “The Cage.”
For June, FanSets is returning to Star Trek: Discovery with the just-released Lt. Commander Airiam, the ‘augmented human’ Spore Drive operations officer played by Sara Mitich on the series, and June 15 brings the USS Franklin starship pin from Star Trek Beyond, the first ship from the Kelvin Timeline to make FanSets’ listings.
There are expected July releases coming from the company as well, to be announced in a few weeks, but today FanSets began teasing their plans for August’s Las Vegas Star Trek convention.
Expected are “super-rare, show-only [pins] limited to 100 pieces,” a Deep Space Nine 25th Anniversary pin set (likely similar to last year’s TNG 30th set), an STLV 2018 event “poker chip” pin (following last year’s TNG version), and more offerings — including this “LLAP” Vulcan salute pin, launching at STLV (for both attendee purchases and online sales).
Finally, for those of you headed to STLV, FanSets says they’re going to have another sponsored party at the convention like in 2017, and all attendees to their event will take home an exclusive party-only pin (not yet revealed).
