Merchandise

Enamel Pin Series

Released on November 3, 2017, the Enamel Pin Series consisted of blindboxed pin badges, as was the style at the time. There were twenty to collect in total, and were provided to retailers in cases of twenty, but were not produced in equal quantities, meaning some pins were rarer than others. The two "chase" pins were "Grimlock Blue Metallic" and "Series Logo", which had a rarity of one in every 80 pins. In a break from the norm, the releases named "GI Joe / Cobra Logos" and "Transformers logos" actually featured two pin badges in each box, in the form of each franchise's faction insignias.
