Ghibli Pin Badges: The Complete Guide to Collecting

Studio Ghibli enamel pin badges are one of the most accessible entry points into official Ghibli collecting. Affordable, visually striking and immediately wearable, they let you carry your favourite Ghibli characters on your jacket, bag or hat. Our Ghibli pin badge collection is one of the most comprehensive available outside Japan. This guide covers every badge we carry and how to approach building a collection.

The Two Pin Badge Formats

Our Ghibli pin badges come in two sizes. The standard 3 cm format covers the core Ghibli characters in a compact, elegant enamel pin. The larger 5 cm portrait format offers more visual detail and greater impact on a jacket lapel.

3 cm Enamel Pin Badges: The Core Range

Our 3 cm badges cover eight characters and films:

• O Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro)
• Catbus / Nekobus (4 cm, slightly larger format)
• Kiki (Kiki's Delivery Service)
• Jiji (Kiki's Delivery Service)
• No-Face / Kaonashi (Spirited Away)
• Calcifer (Howl's Moving Castle)
• Laputa Robot Soldier (Laputa: Castle in the Sky)
• Ponyo (Ponyo on the Cliff)
• Porco Rosso seaplane (S.21) (Porco Rosso)
• Whisper of the Heart scene design

5 cm Portrait Pin Badges: The Statement Range

Our 5 cm portrait badges offer larger, more detailed enamel designs for a more visible lapel statement:

• Jiji Ki portrait (Kiki's Delivery Service): A highly detailed Jiji face in the larger format.
• Porco Rosso portrait: The legendary pilot in his iconic look.
• Ohmu (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind): One of our rarest and most distinctive badges, the great insect guardian of the toxic jungle.
• Nekobus portrait (4 cm): The Catbus in a slightly larger, more detailed format.

Building a Pin Badge Collection

The most satisfying Ghibli pin badge collections are organised by either film (all Totoro characters together) or by format (all 5 cm portraits). For a starter collection, the O Totoro, No-Face and Jiji badges together cover three of the most iconic Ghibli characters across three films.

How to Wear Ghibli Pin Badges

The classic placement is on a jacket lapel. Pin badges also work well on backpacks, denim jackets, canvas tote bags and desk pin boards. Multiple badges pinned together create a bold collector's display.
