Earlier this year, I announced Monster Match Minis, which was set to be a collection of mini versions of the original Monster Match pinups and launch as part of Pocket Change Pins. However, due to the size constraints of that event, I made the decision to push the mini Monster Match pins to later this year.
Well, I have some great news for Monster Match fans: Monster Match Minis is now launching as part of Pintober on October 20th, 2026!
As part of this announcement, I wanted to share the final artwork for the mini pins. I'm so happy with how cute they all turned out!
Mini versions of the original Monster Match ensemble!
But wait...there's more?!👀
Since I am no longer constrained by size, I decided, why not use this chance to make some new Monster Match boys to fall in love with!?
So now, Monster Match will also include 5 new sexy boys to collect: a witch, reaper, Frankenstein's Monster, mummy, and slime boy! Here are the WIP sketches for each:
I also plan to make mini versions of each one, just like the others, and hope to continue with that set up for future pinup campaigns, too.
So far, I have some names in mind for the Witch and the Reaper, but not the other 3 yet. Feel free to suggest names for the mummy, slime boy, or Frankenstein's Monster in the comments! (though it might be fitting to leave Frankenstein's Monster without a name since he was never given one in the original Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelley...things to think on!)
Traditionally, I try to make the names alliterative to the monster type, so keep that in mind with your suggestions. Feel free to like any names that other people suggest in the comments as well! 🫶
👉 Save the launch date: October 20th
Monster Match Minis (which I may just rename to Monster Match 2 at this point 😅) will launch as part of Pintober on October 20, 2026!
More information about extras & early bird tiers will come in a later update closer to the launch time.
I hope you guys are excited for the new additions to the set! I'll catch you in the next update!
