I've also seen regular button sets on eBay.

Very snazzy. They do look awesome, and it's great to see some high-quality craftsmanship into these.

Clay and the like is great, but it doesn't seem to be quite as uniform as it ought to be for badges. Still, these looks to be tinted glass on a metallic background and that really doesn't seem quite right. It's certainly better than what we've had before, but it's still not 100% and I certainly wouldn't value the whole set at $130 and an extra 45 for that display.

I think what I'd go for would be cast metal pins, the texture and weight like you see regular pins with, like you might pick up at Disneyland or something. Take that, raise the edges and internal borders of the badges and use glossy and either translucent or opaque glaze (depending on which badges) to fill in the blocks as solid color. That way you've got the shiny nickel (or brass for Unova's set) for a raised impression of the badge itself and have the clear colors that you want. Something about these just seems too... light. Some of them, Hoenn's and Sinnoh's especially, just look off somehow with the borderless glass look.
