FiGPiN is celebrating International Women’s Week by offering some special bonuses for purchases made between today and March 10 from its International Women’s Week collection. For Yu-Gi-Oh! fans, the collection includes the common Mai Valentine pin and the formerly event-exclusive Harpie Lady pin.

Harpie Lady was originally available only at FiGPiN’s booth at New York Comic Con 2023 with a limited run of 1,000 units. FiGPiN quietly started selling Harpie Lady on its website a few months ago, but drew no attention to it until now.

Harpie Lady’s online sale seems to be an unusual occurrence because FiGPiN’s president previously stated that the company cannot sell a convention-exclusive pin outside of that event. FiGPiN has never resold its con-exclusive glitter Yami Yugi pins (New York Comic Con 2022 and Anime Expo 2023), its Maximillion Pegasus (Los Angeles Comic Con 2022), or its glitter Dark Magician (San Diego Comic Con 2023) directly on its website.

If Harpie Lady is part of an ongoing trend of selling FiGPiN’s con-exclusive pins online after the events end, that would be an absolute boon to collectors everywhere.

Anyway, if you’ve been looking to buy Harpie Lady without paying a markup to third-party resellers, now is a great time to do it.
