so for both of these pins, they are bootleg/unauthorized. what that means is that disney did not create these designs, and did not sell these vinylmation pins at any time. They were most likely bought as part of "lots" of counterfeit pins on eBay and then whoever bought these then traded them with cast members.
One way to spot these unauthorized vinylmation pins is that while they also do have the mickey heads on the back, the heads are smaller and sideways, and they also say LIMITED RELEASE on the back (genuine pins do not have that written on them) :
On genuine vinylmation pins, the mickey heads are larger, evenly spaced, and the heads are right side up and upside down. Also, though the most recent counterfeits have much less of the "border" issues, if you compare them, the mickey heads go right off the edges of the pin because the real pins are cut/stamped out of large sheets of metal that already have the mickey backs embossed on them.
