Front Description
This Mickey & Minnie Mouse Sweethearts pin is part of the new Hidden Mickey Collection. Mickey & Minnie have their backs to to us and have their arms arounds each other as they watch the stars. The pin is heart shaped. This new version looks very similar to the original, except there is a Hidden Mickey on the front. The back has the 2006 Official Pin Trading logo and is marked Hidden Mickey Pin-3 of 3. Original Pin is #25469.
I left it as #2 in the subset to maintain continuity for people comparing the Hidden Mickey Series with the originals.
These pins will replace the current Cast Lanyard Series pins on cast lanyards across Walt Disney World. The initial assortment of the Hidden Mickey pins will feature 96 different pin designs from the four existing Cast Lanyard series of pins, with the twelve event preview pins plus twelve more designs being released property-wide in October and twenty-four pins being released each following month through January 2007. All pins follow the criteria set up on the official website, with pins from the earlier series being resized to match the current size standards and all pins being made in silver metal. All pins will also feature the silver Hidden Mickey mark on the front and will state which pin number and how many pins are in the subset on the back.
********************
Please be advised that there are unauthorized versions of these pins being sold from China directly to individuals not associated with Disney. No one can guarantee the authenticity of this pin.
The unauthorized version has a more dull finish and a smaller hidden Mickey. The color is less bright. Also, the silver which spaces the color is flat instead of raised up to give a more defined color break.
