EDIT (30/12/2010): Thanks so much for everyone's support in such a short time! I'm sad to hear that some of you are hesitating about buying the pins due to the shipping cost. I understand that it's pricey, but taking into account the fact that we'd have to ship from Malaysia to America (I'm generalising, since I notice that many of you guys are from America), it's expensive for us as well, and we need to cover our costs too. Darn the crappy postage service here! *shakes fist* But we don't really have a better option that's fair to all parties and that plain sucks. If anyone (I hope there are more Malaysians familiar with postage service in this community?) has suggestions and ideas that may help, PLEASE DO POST HERE, we'd hate to burden anyone with the money problems.
Just as a reminder, if you'd like to request pins from the other fandoms (Not Layton or Phoenix fandoms), remember to drop me a note at my own personal journal or privately. Plus, there are clearer views of the other pins there. Oh, and by the way, we're not taking the pins off the market, so we can do business anytime you want. No worries about a deadline for requests or anything, we have a lot of time. XD

First of all, I hope this sort of post is allowed because I bring to you MERCHANDISE. (Mods please erase this post if it's not allowed) I hope I don't come across as a lurker-who-breaks-the-silence-just-to-grab-money, I promise to bring fan art next time! (Please don't hate me)
Anyway, my friends and I collaborated to make badges for Comic Fiesta, an anime/manga/game convention in Malaysia. No prizes guessing who's one of the subjects for our badges. Our theme is anime and game characters.
By the way, anyone here plays Taiko no Tatsujin? It's a highly addictive Japanese drum rhythm DS game with adorable mascots. We crossed the design of the mascot with various other game characters to create our badges. So, presenting creations from Pivot Design group:
plus
equals...
The Layton and Luke Taiko pin set! :D (Watermarked for security purposes)
Unfortunately, this is the only photo I have of the real pins themselves (as I wasn't there to take proper photos of each individual pins). Not too clear, but sufficient to see how they really look like.
Can you identify the other characters? :)
In conjunction with the Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright crossover, the Phoenix and Miles badges are also on sale here. :D
Flashy.
(By the way, all the designs were done in Adobe Illustrator. I did Layton and Miles. )
We're pricing the badges in US Dollars for convenience and transaction is done through Paypal. We will mail them from Malaysia in bubble-wrapped envelopes or in little boxes, depending on the number of badges. Pricing is as follows:
Shipping cost - USD 5
Single pin - USD 3 (including shipping = USD 8)
1 set of 2 pins (Layton set, or Phoenix set) - USD 5 (including shipping = USD 10)
1 set of 2 pins (Layton set, or Phoenix set), PLUS a third pin from a different set - USD 8 (including shipping = USD 13)
2 sets of pins - USD 10 (including shipping = USD 15)
If you're interested in purchasing any of these 4 pins, do post here or send me a note, though I'll reply through notes only for transactions.
If you're interested in the other pins, head over to my journal instead. This post is meant for only the Layton/Luke set and the Phoenix/Miles set. :)
Thanks for your time! I hope that even if you don't feel like buying it, you will enjoy the art. :D
