The Scrapper Files

Identifying Disney pins that have been offered by various Chinese Manufactures via their websites and marketplaces such as Trade Key and could, therefore, be in circulation. Anyone interested in doing their own investigating simply needs to Google a combination of words such as Disney Pin Manufacturer China. I will list the Pinpics numbers, and a link to the original internet page where the pin was pictured. Search by Pinpics number to find results, or view by pin type.

Large list, bit of everything

I think this the largest groupings of pins, I've done so far. 60 pins, but several duplicates of what we've already had. I was not able to identify the Minnie pin in row 5, 3rd pin from right, because of the angle. EDIT: Because of a Dizpins image, I've now been able to identify that Minnie.

Vinylmations: Holiday #1, Urban #2, Park #2 HM's: Haunted Mansion Tombstones, Princess Tea Cups

Large group of Vinylmations from series Holiday #1, Urban #2, Park #2 and some unauthorized ones. Still looking for a Pinpics number for that Ninja Mickey (EDIT: found it!). DLR 2009 HM from the Haunted Mansion Tombstone and Princess Tea Cup series.

Another small batch, but this one are fancier pins that don't normally show up on scrapper lists because the thought is that they are too expensive for most counterfeiters to want to duplicate. But we know that there are "true scrappers" which are the ones that were produced during Disney's actual order that ended up on the floor because of quality defects, and I suspect that these might fall in that category. It is possible that there aren't a lot of these in circulation. However, the purpose of this website is to identify which pins the manufacturers say they have for sale, not a commentary on how many are in circulation. Collectors can make their own determination of how worried they need to be about their own pins.

A note about one of the pins. The pin identified as 120 in the photo has two Pinpics numbers given. This is because of the name change from Disney-MGM Studios to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Since it is impossible to tell which pin is "available," both Pinpics numbers are provided.

Open edition pins, Travel Company pins, Mary Poppins Jumbo

A small batch of mostly open edition pins, with a few travel company pins and a Disneyshopping.com Mary Poppins Jumbo pin. These also some of the oldest pins that I have found so far.

This next picture has 41 pins, but I could not find a Pinpics listing for 3 of them. They are:

First row, 2nd from right end. Some sort of ninja Vinylmation (EDIT: found it!). 4th row, 2nd from right end Cheshire Cat and 2nd to last row, 2nd from left end Toy Story Alien. If you can find a Pinpics listing, leave a comment.

EDIT: It's possible that the Toy Story LGM Alien is from a Japanese framed set, Pinpics 29592.
EDIT: Cheshire Cat is identified.

8 new pins, mostly HM's

Continuing the 2nd batch from Xiang Biao Bei. About half of these pins are duplicates. One pin, you will notice has 2 Pinpics numbers. I believe the 2nd listing is actually the scrapper pin, which is why it has a backstamp that makes no sense.

Hidden Mickeys from various years

Starting a 2nd batch from Xiang Biao Bei.

A few of these pins are ones that originally were released as part of the WDW Cast Lanyard Series 4, that were later "updated" to be part of the first Hidden Mickey Series from 2006-2007. It's impossible to know which one is being duplicated from the photo, so Pinpics numbers for both versions have been provided.

Also, I am not sure what the Pinpics number for that particular Classic Mickey is, leave a comment if you know.

This post is the first of many that come from a company that calls itself Xiang Biao Bei Qi Gong Yipin Chang. On their listings on Trade Key they say they have 400 styles of pins available. While culling info, this company certainly has the most listings. And under each listing is several photos with different pins.

Various Older Pins

Most of these pins don't have warnings on Pinpics. Nor are they displayed in the normal method of a big board with numbered pins, but in tiny bags. However, Disney is the only one authorized to sell these pins so I am including them. Googling the company, it seems like their primary business is golf accessories, so maybe they got ahold of a small number of pins from another source. Many times images are duplicated elsewhere, so as I continue to build this database we'll see which ones are included on other pictures.

I was unable to locate the Nightmare Before Christmas Mayor pin in Pinpics, if anyone can identify it, please leave a comment.

Hello! I decided to create this blog after the dust-up surrounding the sale of Pinpics to new owners. Concerns were raised, about the quality and integrity of the information provided via Pinpics going forward. Also, I had my own thoughts that since the closure of Dizpins.com photos of Disney pins that have been scrapped haven't been making there way out into the pin community as easily as before. Combined with the knowledge that Pinpics moderators are already overwhelmed with other aspects of maintaining the database, scrapper reports may not always be added to a Pinpics listing. So I decided an independent listing of pins that are currently being sold by Chinese manufacturers would be useful to Disney pin collectors.

All of my information comes directly from the websites of the Chinese manufacturers, or through postings on marketplace websites such as Trade Key. Anyone interested in doing their own investigating simply needs to Google a combination of words such as Disney Pin Manufacturer China. I'm not sure how often images get updated. Most of the images, I gathered in March 2012 are the same ones I saw several months earlier, when I first started Googling.

I will list the Pinpics numbers, and a link to the original internet page where the pin was pictured. I am not sure if I can include the picture of pins myself, ironically due to copyright issues. But I am saving pictures and screenshots to my personal computer in case the link ever ceases to function or the photo is removed from the internet.
