Mickey's of Glendale has released another in its exclusive ongoing pin series utilizing the sorcerer hat (a symbol for Walt Disney Imagineering) as a blank canvas for creative and unique designs based on Disney parks icons and colors inspired pin designs found in the Disney Parks.
This pin is in the Fourteeneth collection released by WDI in the Sorcerer Hats Mystery Pin Collection, and an exclusive release for the opening of the new feature film, "Pirates of the Caribbean, on Stranger Tides," which was released only to Cast Members and their guests.
Each pin in the collection is sealed in a black plastic bag and sold in a blind box.
This is the listing for the black key.
This pin features the Dog with the Jail Cell Keys in the scene from the POC attraction. This grey mutts head and shoulders with dark blue nose are the only part of him visible in front of a span of black jail cell bars on a purple background. The black key ring is in his mouth with a single key hanging from it. The dog's eyes are white and wide and he has a smurk on his face. Around the pin's hat format brim are dark purple cobble stones that resemble the floor of the dungeon. Though the scan of this pin have the bars and the bottom looking blue, there is no blue at all on this pin.
For the other pins in this collection see Pinpics #.
The back of the pin has 2 pin posts and a WDI Sorcerer Hat icon waffle pattern. Between the posts it has the following:

***********
The backstamp states LE 200, but confirmed with WDI and the designer of the pin that there are 150 black keys and 50 gold keys for a total of 200 pins. All the Pirate Dog pins were suppose to have a backstamp that says LE 200 so the edition size of the gold key variant would be unknown. Unfortunately, the manufacturer messed up and put L.E. 50 on the back of the variants. So not only is the gold key variant rare, it can also be considered an "error pin" due to the fact that the backstamp is suppose to say L.E. 200 and not L.E. 50! The LE 50 Gold Variation of this pin is 84782
