NOTE: Similar to pin 102401, which is a variation release. Pin 67986 seems to be the pin found in the sets being sold at WDW and DLR, while pin 102401 has been the pin found in the sets that were purchased from DS. The pins have several differences:
1) The frame on pin 67986 has an entirely screened-on, dainty, clean, white dotted design. On pin 102401, the white design on the frame is mostly of the metal mold - it has holes that were filled in with white paint - however, SOME of the white design is simply screened-on. So pin 102401 has both screened-on dots and dots that are part of the metal mold (try to figure that one out!). Because pin 102401 has most of the white design as part of the metal mold, the design looks bigger and wider when compared to the dainty dots on pin 67986.
2) The backstamps are completely different. Pin 67986 has the new Mickey icon pattern, while pin 102401 has the old waffle-style pattern. Pin 67986 has no nubs, pin 102401 has 2 nubs.
3) Belle's facial features are more realistic on pin 102401. Her eyes on pin 67986 are more oval and cartoony, while pin 102401 are more pointed. Her pupils on 67986 is just one big brown paint fill, while pin 102401 has her pupils are gold metal and then there is a sliver of brown pupil next to it. She has 3 gold metal eyelashes per eye on pin 67986, while pin 102401 has 5 gold metal eyelashes. Her lips on 67986 are two big red paint fills, while pin 102401 has thick gold lines and therefore it has two slivers of red paint fill for lips.
4) The frame color on pin 67986 is a salmon color, and pin 102401 is a slightly paler shade closer to pink. The background on pin 102401 is bright, bold pink that's almost neon-like, while 67986 is softer and more of a true soft pink color.
