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.

Vinylmation Muppets Series 1

Now it's the Muppets. Again, one pin is missing (Fozzie) because of a duplicate Statler. Although, the duplicate is very creepy looking without his pupils. No Pinpics number for that one, since it isn't in the database (but plenty of comments in the regular listing for Statler).

Vinylmation Jr Series 1 & 2

This image features 15 of the 16 from Series 1. Tulip is missing, Mrs Skull is listed twice, but one of them has no bow. Since the version sans bow is not on Pinpics, no number is given. All of Series 2 is shown.

Trade City CarEARS, WDI Character Sorcerers

Six of these pins were in one image, with a second image with just Ludwig Von Drake. I've combined them into one post, since they are part of the same set. Again, not all pins from the Trade City CarEARS boxed set are shown, so not sure if there are others that have been scrapped or not.

HKDL Mystery Name Tags

At least with a image like this, the pins aren't too hard to locate on Pinpics. But still sad news. There are 15 pins in the collection, but only 12 appear in the image and have been counted. Not sure if that means the other 3 haven't been scrapped, or just not photographed.

Japan Disney on Ice 20th Anniversary

Another listing I wasn't quite sure what to do with. This one is different because the pins are displayed on the product card. However, 2 pins (Donald and Pinocchio) are shown twice. Is it a mistake in the photo, and if you bought this listing, would you get duplicates? In the released version, there were 2 different pins, but since they aren't shown in this photo, they are not included. Two other pins have Pinpics entries with different years. Since I am unable to determine which year is pictured, both Pinpics numbers are included.

Three unknown Mickey sports pins

While putting this project together, I have stumbled upon listings that I wasn't entirely sure what to do with. These pins were in an image being sold by the same manufacturer as the 2 previous blog entries. These pins don't seem to be in Pinpics, and I've never seen anyone ask about them. So are they out there, are they scrappers? Maybe they were something produced and never sold. I don't know. I'm including them in the list because this blog's purpose is to identify pins offered for sale by Chinese manufacturers, which these 3 pins were. Maybe, someday they will show up somewhere.

However, since they aren't on Pinpics, no Pinpics number can be given

Misc rack and LE pins

This listing had a small image, so I was unable to determine what the 2nd pin in the top row even was. Perhaps, someone can recognize it from their collection and identify it. One pin was pictured twice.

WDW 2008 HM Completers, plus a few among a ton of previously identified

This batch indicates the work that identifying pins can take. There are 29 pictured, but only 9 are new. I've made myself a bit cross-eyed trying to decipher pins, and remembering which ones I had already found. Then the other battle of finding them on Pinpics.

The rest appear in one, two, or even 5 other images. The new ones from this batch are ones that bum me out the most. WDW 2008 HM completer pins. I believed Disney when they said that these pins would only be released at the Epcot Pin Trading Celebration. But they didn't tell the manufacturers who made these available not that long after the event. While I could have had pins that were desired for their exclusivity, now I have extras that no one wants because there are so many counterfeit versions. This also features the infamous June Gloom pin, which made it's appearance long before an official version ever made it to the parks.

Moving on...Dee Bee's, Puffles, Mickey Monsters, and more Vinylmations. The DeeBee's came in both a silver and gold back versions. It's impossible to tell from the picture which one is scrapped, so both Pinpics numbers have been provided. I think my scrapper Latee is silver metal, but I don't know if there were gold ones as well. There is one pin, Row 5, Pin 4 I could not find on Pinpics.

I did not mean to take such a long break

But it has been a couple months now, since I posted. Unfortunately, this does not mean I don't have more images to identify.

I posted a lot of images from a company called Xiang Biao Bei Qi, when I checked Trade Key today, the same images attributed to them now are under the company name Source Mall Import & Export Company, Ltd. So if you are doing your own investigating, and wondered why the difference, it appears they have a name change. At least, on Trade Key. If you look on the details, it gives a website for this company as http://www.xbbq-cn.com/ which takes you to Xiang Biao Bei Qi. No Disney pins are listed on the company website.
