Can anyone with images of the actual pins please post them here in replies for others to see? I would love that please!
*******************************************
August release is:::
What do you think??? Is it cool? is the red a good choice?
**************************************************
This is the next series I decided to discuss. Since the first in this discussion group was a DLR/DCA exclusive, I figure it is best to cover a series that is WDW exclusive as well. It's only fair right???
This series is part of the lead up to the September Pin event taking place at WDW in 2013. One pin per month is being released. These pins are LE 750, and feature a different villain each month. They are all shaped like the mirror from snow White. The mirror is cracked, and has a silhouette of the villain in the cracked glass. The 13 is a pin on pin element.
images below are linked. A quick description and tidbits of info included.
So, what do you think of this series? I am sure all the villain lovers out there are enjoying it.
Thoughts, opinions, idea's, "wish they had done this..." etc... are appreciated.
image of all released except one. Dr Facillier is missing.
Thank you Amy for letting me take a pic of your set!

- The first in this countdown series was released at the Mickey circus pin event in September 2012. Featuring Cruella DeVil, they rolled this series out as a surprise release. This perticular pin is more highly sought after. Being the first of the series and unexpected, many who want to collect the whole set have yet to obtain her.
- Queen of Hearts was the choice for November. The 13 is a beautiful, vivid red color which makes this pin stand out. Don't let this ladies trade/want ratio's fool you. she trades very well.
- Chernabog was the featured villain for the December release. Everyone loves Chernabog. He is one of the most interesting villains out there right? I felt this was a very nice pin, the 13 didnt block out the villains features as much as a few of the others.
- Jafar rang in the 2013 year as January's villain. Also not as highly sought after, I think it is because Jafars face is so hidden by the 13. His twisted beard is very obvious though, which many aladdin collectors love. The red 13 is a brighter color than the queen of hearts, and stands out nicely against the dark background of the pin.
- February's villain was Ursula. A fantastic purple color was used on the 13 for this pin and so far, it is my favorite of the bunch. Her White hair stands out nicely as well on the mirror, making her a more visible villain for the series.
- March was Maleficent. With the 13 in a glittering evil green that matches the color of her flames when she is in dragon form. This is a great pin. Also one of the most sought after in the series. It is a great trader and wonderful addition to any collection.
- April brought us Captain Hook. While the 13 is in a great BOLD red, the silhouette of Hook was so large it seemed to loose detail. I have only seen it once, so I do not have tremendous detailed visual reference. If anyone has more info on the quality or appearance of this one i would love input.
- Gaston was the pick for May. I feel they did a fantastic job on him. the whites of his eyes and teeth make him stand out strongly on the dark background, and the red 13 matches the color of his clothes in the movie.
- Dr Facilier was the man of the month for June. The green is a wonderful glittery match for the movie. And his skull and cross bones hat is perfectly centered.
- Scar released july 11th. The pinpics image indicates his eyes and teeth are kind of evil sickly yellow. which i find to be awesome! I cant wait to see this one in person!
- Oogie boogie is scheduled to release on August 16th. I really like the LIME green for the 13. it just fits.
So, what do you think of this series? I am sure all the villain lovers out there are enjoying it.
