Front Description
Originally released on 15 Jun 2012 for the re-opening of Disney's California Adventure at Disneyland, this four-pin booster set features black-and-white photos of WALT DISNEY THE MAN framed by a suitcase-shaped rim with a handle on the side. Beginning on 11 Jan 2013, it was also sold at WDW (and even later on DisneyStore.com). In 2016, the set was clearanced at the 26 May 2016 Pin Event held at Disney's Character Warehouse in Orlando, Florida (cost was $10.99). The epoxy-domed pins came on a taller vertical card, while the flat matte pins (no expoy dome) came on a shorter (almost square) card.
Release dates:
DLR -- 15 Jun 2012
WDW -- 11 Jan 2013
There are two different versions of this pin, but it's just because two different factories produced them (same SKU and price). The design is the same, but one version has an epoxy dome over the photos, while the other does not (just a flat matte image). Please check your pin carefully before cataloguing.
Unfortunately, these pins have been widely faked and are still being sold by Chinese factories in 2025.
