Am I going to hell for making a video like this?
I don't think so, but let me know your thoughts down below.

Thank you for doing this video @Admin , I did enjoy seeing the whole piece in close up detail rather than a bit at a time through a glass. I do like this piece, although I only bought one of it Jon. These stackers - or stackables as the mint now calls them - are wonderfully detailed miniature works of art. This one shows Lucifer as being transformed from the angel that he was to the monster he became, and I see it as a moral piece, not glorifying evil and not controversial unless you have a very narrow mindset. Lucifer is paying the price of his disobedience.
So far as the shape is concerned, it isn't a pentagram, it's a five pointed star. To be a pentagram it would have to show the lines forming a pentagon in the centre, and the angles of the star's arms are too shallow to do that. My guess is that the star was chosen to reflect the name Morning Star, the son of the morning that was Lucifer's original identity before his fall - 'Lucifer' means 'light-bearer'. The Original Sin piece is a heptagon, seven-sided, nothing to do with pentagrams.
There are now 20 of the stackables issued and out on the market covering various subjects from masks to shields to architecture and a few one-offs. Original Sin (21) is imminent and can be pre-ordered; Ganesha (22) is not yet available, but there are pictures. Finally, for the moment anyway, there is a snapping turtle shell and a male torso in preparation, to be followed by a female torso in due course. Can't wait, although there are times I wish the mint would slow down a bit. I've managed to keep up with them and hope to continue to do so.

Hello there @Simpsonsfan . I don't think the mint sells direct, and I bought mine from the Coin Shoppe, link below. They are likely to be available from other sources too and if you googled the piece something should turn up.
