Quick answer
Start with Pike Trickfoot Chibi Pin No. 14 if you want a bright, classic cleric and the lower upfront price. Choose Dariax Chibi Pin No. 25 if you prefer a chaotic, spear-wielding character and don't mind paying a little more.
Character appeal: light vs. chaos
Pike represents the sweet, radiant cleric archetype, while Dariax brings a chaotic, spear-carrying energy. Your first pin should be a character you'll enjoy seeing daily, so pick the personality that matches your shelf or jacket.
Both pins are designed by Jenny Park (@asunnydisposish) and share the same 1.75-inch size, so the visual difference comes down to the character art and pose, not the format.
Price and value
Pike's catalog price is USD 6.92 (compared to USD 10.99), while Dariax is USD 7.69 (compared to USD 10.99). The gap is small, but if you're buying multiple pins or testing the waters, Pike leaves a little more budget for your next pin.
Both use silver-plated zinc alloy with hard enamel and carry an embossed Critical Role logo on the back, so construction quality is consistent across the series.
Series and collectibility
Pike is pin #14 and Dariax is #25 in the Chibi Pin series. If you're collecting in numerical order, Pike comes earlier; if you're drawn to later releases, Dariax is a strong entry point.
Neither pin is described as limited edition in the supplied facts, so availability isn't a reason to rush—choose based on character preference.
Trade-offs to weigh
- Lower price vs. character preference: Pike costs USD 6.92 versus Dariax at USD 7.69. Saving 77 cents matters only if you're buying several pins; otherwise pick the character you like more. Set a budget for your first order before choosing.
- Classic cleric vs. chaotic spear-wielder: Pike's sweet, light-bearing design suits fans of traditional heroes; Dariax's spear and chaotic vibe suit fans of unpredictable characters. Match the pin to the Critical Role character you already quote or cosplay.
- Early series number vs. later release: Pike is #14 and Dariax is #25. If you plan to collect sequentially, start with Pike; if you're buying a single pin, the number is just a detail. Decide whether you're collecting the series or just one pin.
