Hi! I think that the problem was that your account was set in an inactive group. I’ve fixed it up, and you should be good to go. Let me know if you still have trouble, and I can get the avatar changed for you without a problem. Sarah

Apologies for the quality of some of the photo... I did my best, but I’m happy to provide additional pictures if needed. I’m reviewing my old Star Wars Tsum Tsum collection and realize that only some of these pins may be authentic. I’d appreciate help in determining which pins are real versus fake. I have not been able to identify any consistent indicators that would make me confident labeling any of them as real or fake. I understand that quality control varied significantly, which makes it difficult to determine authenticity.

Happy new year.

I would really like to add an avatar but that little photo icon doesn't show up for me to click. Am I possibly doing something wrong?

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!! Be safe if you are going out! We are looking forward to 2026 and everything it is going to bring!!!! Hang on to your hats! Molly & Joe PinPics Owners

I love seeing all the new things Pinpics has had this year, and wow a lot of trades and so many pins added! Anyone going out to celebrate tonight, be safe! Wishing everyone here a happy and healthy new year, and many happy pin trades and acquisitions ahead!

The stamp on the back of yours looks suspicious to me. Between that and the color differences, I'm betting that the one you have is not legit. Sorry.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Years! Best wishes to all on the upcoming year

The PinPics Admin Team would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year! It's hard to believe that another year has gone by already and that we're on the brink of 2026. This last year has been a big one for PinPics in a lot of ways, so I thought it would be cool to take a look at some of the great things that have happened in 2025! Over 10,200 pins added to the database. Over 9,000 Profile Badges earned. Over 4,500 posts in the forum. Over 6,750 Trader Feedbacks left. February: The website was upgraded to the new mobile-friendly software. April: PinPics PLUS debuted with new options for custom Pin Notes, PDF printing, etc. June: The Trusted Trader program launched. September: PinPics PREMIUM debuted with the Mobile App and Image Search option. October: The PinPics Perks Loyalty Program launched. And there have also been some great meet-ups at events and shows from Maryland to California! In June, a whole crowd of PinPics members attended the Dayton Disneyana convention. It's thanks to all our great members that this community continues to grow and be such a happy place for pin traders from all over the country . . . and all over the world! To all our great members, we'd like to say "thank you" for helping to make 2025 such a great year. We're looking forward to what 2026 will bring as we continue to develop new features and additions to the site. Wishing everyone a very happy and pin-filled New Year!

Mine is definitely white. The shirt is blue, but much lighter.

I think this is the one you mean? The blue is much brighter than yours though? The origin and authenticity of the one in the database seems unclear though so it’s hard to say?

The is one just like this but more color. It was a cast member pin. Is this one legit?

thank you. Not all of them are stamped LE. I have many that are not. Thank you.

This 2006 release looks almost identical but there's nothing in the description about what the back says. It does say not glittery and white mouth, which sounds like your pin? I'm not 100% sure though, especially because this pin should be LE 300 and yours isn't backstamped LE either?

I've had some luck using isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip

I have two of these Ariel pins. According to pinpics it is suppose to have the Disneyland paris logo but do not. They have the Pin trading logo with 2006. Attached is pic of the pin. I have 2 of them. Three daughters so I ended up with lots of the same pin. Got these btwn 2006 and 2011.

The rest of these pins are not in the database. Do you have any of them? If you are able to send photos (taken on a white background) in a PM to us, we could definitely get them added for you. Thanks!

Thanks @Dragon57 I don't have the set, but I did just nab a Bambi and wanted to mark it when I realized it wasn't up. I'll snap the pictures for it after the new year. I just wanted to make sure it hadn't already been put up under a different tag or something.

@ViciousLady I do not believe the other pins are in the database as I can't find them either. If you have them please add them (after January 5th). Here's the link to add pins. Thanks.

I know we have Nick in the database, but the description says there's other characters like Dumbo/Bambi/etc and I can't seem to find them, are those just not uploaded yet, or under a different name?

I'm excited and stocking up with good traders and trades for everyone! It hasn't even been a full year for trading for me and I've met some great people and made some fun trades. Thanks again to everyone that has traded with me and guided me in the right direction. My most sincere apologies for any lopsided trade offerings I've ever made due to my lack of experience and knowledge My goal is a total of 100 positive feedbacks by the end of 2026

I have quite a few plushies that I've gotten over the years with sentimental ties that keep them close to my heart and safe from being donated, nothing quite as fancy as a Steiff, or Jellycat, and I never ventured into those collections despite how cutely tempting they are. HOWEVER - A while back I found out that they have a Lady Steiff plush and I CANNOT get her out of my head, I might cave and buy her one of these days, but for now I just eye her covetously lol

What fun! That's super cool about your name and definitely a good reason to collect teddy bears. There are actually quite a few great Steiff options with a Disney connection that are pretty affordable -- especially if you're willing to watch and wait a bit. There was an exclusive release by Steiff each year at the Disney Teddy Bear and Doll conventions, so twenty different options (and a few extras, because there were multiple exclusives sometimes). They are not always Disney-themed, though a lot are. Here are the official Disney-only exclusives by Steiff (along with links to the pins that would have come with them or been available to people attending that convention) . . . 1988: Antique Teddy Convention Pin: PP#305 1989: Petsy Bear Convention Pin: PP#2353 1990: Antique Teddy (Charcoal Grey) Convention Pin: PP#2354 1991: Mickey (Removable Mask) Convention Pin: PP#2358 1992: Minnie (Removable Mask) Convention Pin: PP#2355 1993: Donald Duck Bear Convention Pin: PP#2088 1994: Winnie the Pooh Convention Pin: PP#2351 1995: Baloo Convention Pin: PP#2352 1996: Geppetto Bear Convention Pin: PP#1143 1997: Zehn Convention Pin: PP#315 1998: The Sea Bar Convention Pin: PP#1709 1999: Dawn of a New Century Convention Pin: PP#287 2000: Theodore P. Trader 2001: Seymore C. Trader 2002: Margarete (100 Years of Steiff Bear) 2003: Big Al Convention Pin: PP#27088 Pin with Purchase: PP#41826 There doesn't seem to have been a Teddy Bear and Doll event in 2004. 2005: Mickey Bear Convention Pin: PP#37450 Pin with Purchase: PP#37488 2006: Mickey and His Disney Bear Convention Pin: PP#47176 Pin with Purchase: PP#47399 2007: Minnie and Her Disney Bear Convention Pin: PP#54742 Pin with Purchase: PP#54741 2008: Jiminy Cricket Convention Pin: PP#62077 Pin with Purchase: PP#62316 And there were two Disneyland events with their own exclusive Steiff bears. 1992: Classic Grey Convention Pin: PP#797 1993: Classic Blonde Convention Pin: PP#798

I also collect teddy bears, as my maiden name is the word for bear in the Scandinavian languages! One of my collecting goals is to acquire a Steiff bear someday. All the better if I can get one with a Disney connection!!

I just got Theodore and Margarete bears for Christmas. The ones in the photos here are mine! Also, the little Fynn bear at the end. All the other plush . . . just photos from Steiff. These bears are actually the first real Steiff we've ever had! So excited about them.
