2018 Hidden Mickey Release Watch
I'd agree with the fake assessment - back looks bad as does the hidden Mickey on the front.
 
I was really hoping they aren't faked yet. I'm going to wdw in November and was hoping to get all the stitch ones. Hopefully not all faked yet

Some of the stitch have been faked. Easy to figure out when you look at the scrapper sellers selling them for cheap.
 
Copying an update from @pincrazy

"Spoke to cm, sounds like DLR 2018 HM are en route, and might appear in October. I add "might" cause that's what's been advised, but we've also been advised that WoE were coming back in August. At least this update sounds more promising, so fingers crossed we'll finally have some new HM excitement:stitch:"

All I can say... here's hopin'!

I hope you and Darice are right! I just got my AP, so I'm excited to hunt for my first round of HMs!
 
We talked to the pin people during the event. Apparently, when the 2018 pins were originally ordered (and I assume a lot of other pins too), somehow the DLR HM set got missed by the vendor. So Disney didn't realize they hadn't REALLY been ordered until the WDW 2018 HM order arrived, and they were like, "Umm, where are the DLR pins." And it was like, "What DLR 2018 HM pins?"

That is very curious. All the odd/conflicting info mostly makes me wonder what is really true.
 
Per the CM's the day I was there earlier this week, they were traded for as soon as they put them on their lanyards.

One told me they had had the Moana ones ("the coconut people" lol) but I'd missed them. The other CM I encountered had the backside and dessert/cone ones. (I don't know what we're officially calling any of them. lol)

Otherwise I saw none of them either.

I was told the same thing from the 2 Cast Members manning the PIN Partners area for WDW/DLR who are also in Pin Development. They also disclosed the 4 Waves per year of HM Pins planned, starting in October.

I forgot to mention, also, that unlike previous waves where there are six pins shown in a series but only five are released, this wave ALL of the shown pins I can confirm are part of the release. In fact, I am looking at all of the pins right now...they are pretty spiffy.

I’ll be in search of the AIW card set. My favorite character - White Rabbit - getting some ️!
