Why Display Matters for FiGPiN Enamel Pins
FiGPiN enamel pins are more than accessories—they're collectibles with engraved serial numbers, layered hard enamel, and character-specific art cards. How you display them affects both their protection and your enjoyment. Whether you own a Marcus Fenix, Dom Santiago, or the limited Kait Diaz pin, choosing the right display method keeps your collection visible and safe.
What You're Working With
Each FiGPiN pin measures approximately 3 inches (76.2mm) tall and 2mm thick, made from cast zinc alloy with hard synthetic enamel and an electroplated nickel finish. Pins arrive factory-sealed in a hard polycarbonate case with a rubber backer stand and an art card. The case itself is designed to let the pin stand upright, but you have several options for showing off your collection beyond the original packaging.

Display Methods for Your FiGPiN Collection
Choose a method based on your space, how many pins you own, and whether you want to keep them in the original case or display them loose.
- Keep in the Original Case with Backer Stand: The polycarbonate case is designed for display. Simply place the case on a shelf or desk using the rubber backer stand. This method offers full protection and keeps the art card visible. Works well for single pins or a small collection.
- Use a Pin Board or Fabric Display: Remove the pin from its case and attach it to a corkboard, fabric-covered frame, or dedicated pin display board. The rubber clutch on the back secures it firmly. This method lets you group multiple pins and swap them easily. Avoid placing pins on rough surfaces that could scratch the enamel.
- Shadow Box or Floating Frame: Arrange multiple pins inside a shadow box with a glass front. You can include the art cards behind the pins for a curated look. Shadow boxes protect from dust while keeping the collection visible. Make sure the box is deep enough to accommodate the pin's thickness and the clutch.
- Standalone Acrylic Risers: For a clean, modern look, place the pin (still in its case) on a small acrylic riser or tiered shelf. This elevates each pin and works well for a desk or shelf display. It keeps the case intact and allows easy rearrangement.
Keeping Your Pins Safe
FiGPiN pins are made from cast zinc alloy with hard enamel and a nickel finish. They are durable but can scratch if handled roughly. If you display pins loose, avoid stacking them or placing them against abrasive materials. The original case offers the best protection against dust and accidental drops. For long-term storage, keep the case closed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
