    I didn't even notice the lipstick and beauty mark on Ms. Pac-Man :o I like the look! That's only my opinion. What matters is the majority. Now, coming from someone who owns the original tabletop version, I can vouch for the lipstick, too small to notice any beauty mark. :P Either way, I'm fine with or without.
    I also own original tabletop versions of Zaxxon, Donkey Kong, and Pac-Man 8-)

    Oh I totally get it's the original look. But that doesn't necessarily mean something from the 80's is something that fits the message we are trying to send with it now. Gender norms have progressed a lot in the last 35 years.

    People are interested in 78 regular coins and 41 colour coins :)

    It looks like its about 50/50 on if there's a mark or not in my google image results. I just like to think that pac man ate it at one point by mistake.

    I still have a preference for the bronzed look personally and would prefer that the coins weren't just straight color and we had both options.

  • Kaollasu78Kaollasu78 Portland, OrRegistered User regular
    I changed my preference to 1 bronze, 1 color. Ugly troll, should have put Khoo on both sides. lol

    Agree, that is one ugly, creepy troll, however, trolls are not supposed to be good looking :o

    Agree, it was only my opinion, you can call me old fashioned, I grew up in the 80's and it was an awesome decade.

    Personally, I think the colour one is good to go.

    For the regular one, I asked about the troll still being in colour and Khoo's eyes being different.

    If there is anything else, let me know!

  • TabbyKatTabbyKat Registered User regular
    I don't know what it is but the image of the troll just doesn't seem to pop in the way the image of Khoo does on either of the coins. Lack of texture?

  • DevereauxDevereaux Registered User regular
    I can't wait to receive the coins! Both the regular and color coins are going to look fantastic! :D Although, I am partial to the color coin with it's debut during Pax South. I have praised all coins thus far as each are especially unique! I never came across a coin I did not like.

    I've never seen a proof of the landmark side from kiddercorp that isn't just the provided photo, but they end up doing a 3D relief of the image just like Phoenix used to rather than actually putting a color photo there, so I don't think the landmark side should be of any concern as long as you make sure that's the case (the 3D and arrow leads me to believe it will of course be the case)

    I think the eyes being different is just due to them rendering the lighting on the coin, and it falling more on one eye than the other.

  • RILMSRILMS North BayRegistered User regular
    I am back from the woods! I survived hiking 14 miles with 7 kids and no cell reception.

    As no issues were brought up while I was gone, I gave the green light to Kiddercorp.

    Also, right now we have interest in 85 regular and 48 colour coins.

    I will post the order form early next week :)

    on the non color coin. Recessed mid gritty metal, green?

  • RILMSRILMS North BayRegistered User regular
    It's not going to be green. They just have to colour code things so they know what they want the metal to look like :)

    I'm interested in ordering a coin this year. Do I need to fill out the pre-form or can I wait until the order form is posted?

  • RILMSRILMS North BayRegistered User regular
    You can wait for the order form. I just need to confirm pricing and it will go live :)

    I heard back from Katie. She said, "I think Penny Arcade actually owns that design, but I know that I certainly don't mind you using it! The mock-up looks really cool!"

    So, between her ok and Mike's ok, I think we're good with the artwork :)

    Looking great. Excited for the order form.

  • RILMSRILMS North BayRegistered User regular
    It's go time!!!

    Please place your orders here: https://goo.gl/forms/lKwPMdCBA3HSzJIs1

    When placing your order, you must first send a Paypal transaction with kiddercorp@comcast.net so you can record your Paypal Transaction ID.

    First 100 Coins are going to production now and should be ready for the end of August. If we need to, we can do a second run for people.

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Just FYI the spreadsheet at the top isn't 100% accurate due to the color coins, you should specify to add $1 per color coin you want as well. (And I know the prices for each are listed, but someone's bound to mess up :P)

  • RILMSRILMS North BayRegistered User regular
    Thanks for catching that! It has been changed :)

    Is it possible to pick up the coins at PAX? I'm coming across from AUS so there's not much point in shipping it out here. Or do I need to find someone local to get it shipped to?

  • RILMSRILMS North BayRegistered User regular
    I am in the process of buying passes on the DL. So, once I have those in hand and I am for sure going, then people can have coins shipped to me and I can delver them :)

    Do we get confirmation emails? I ordered and got no email other than from Paypal.

    At South, some people got shipping confirmations, but most nothing other than Paypal.

    Kiddercorp doesn't really look at the order form until they have the coins in hand.

    But, I can confirm that your order is on the sheet :) (first in fact!)

    Quick question about ordering. So I would sign into my paypal and send kiddercorp money? Or is there a form I fill out purchasing the coin and then filling out the form? How would kiddercorp know what the PayPal money is going towards if I just send it to them?

    I've never purchased a coin so I'm not sure what to do :p

    You figure out your total and send kiddercorp the money via paypal. (If you want 1 Color and 1 Regular, and are in the US, it is $14, not $17)
    Make a note of the Paypal Transaction ID.
    And then you fill in your info into the order form, Full address, number of coins, Paypal Transaction ID, etc.

    If you've missed some info or done your math wrong, I'm sure RILMS or NFan will contact you to sort it out.

    Not a frequent poster, and I just ordered my regular coin, but would it be possible to put the link to the order form in the first post? Had I not decided to check to see what was being discussed on page 4 I probably would have just figured coins weren't available to order again today.

    Been buying these coins every year since they started for PAX Prime and I would have hated to miss a year; really only checked the last page because old forum habits die hard. Really appreciate all the work that goes into making these coins every year. Being able to have a nice physical object to remember past PAX by is awesome.
