2016 Pin Releases
Release date for Paris LE Villain Facilier is Sept, 10 and they changed My dog's UP to Mulan because of production problems...
UP is going to be out at a later date this year

Any other inside info you can share yet? I am so curious to see which pins they have in store for the Disney run!
 
Finally been able to look at all the pin previews... MY GOD. So many I need! But the absolute top of the list has to be that WDI Scar Profile. Stunning!

No idea about Run pins, i am not around so i can't ask sorry. xdattax told me about Medals but i think those are for Runners only (??)

Finisher's medals are only for the runners (oh boy, I'm going to need the whole board to send me pixie dust for this race, I couldn't train well this summer with the weather here in S. Florida), but the pins and medal pins anyone who goes to the expo can get. I'm going to be there and could be persuaded to pick up some extras, though I haven't seen them yet.
 

*whispers* The PC word you're looking for is "shark" not collector. Or the more popular, unPC phrase that rhymes with "witty lucker".




WHY??? Why does Disney design such an adorable, must have pin with kitties and then trash the design with a date? So, so sad about this.

Perhaps it's just me but I have no problem with dates on pins .
I just dislike Duffy , I always feel Disney forced him on us because they wanted to sell teddy bears with a trademark

I don't mind dates either. My original pins are dated so I know exactly when I started my collection (2009). As for Duffy, he's ok, I don't really care for him but his existence doesn't bother me any. The cat is super cute though!

That was also my thought. It didn't have the same organic feel as characters like Figment (who technically isn't a member of the Disney "family" like mickey and goofy, but still felt right at home). And felt much more like a marketing ploy. But he is cute. And I think the Duffy characters works muuuuch better in the Asian parks.

I agree. I remember when he first came out Duffy was everywhere in stores and the character was even at the parks. He took over a section of Epcot and just annoyed me lol.

I definitely understand what you mean - I never understood Duffy when I just knew him from Disneyland Paris. But then we went to Disneysea Tokyo and everything changed! So much Duffy and ShellieMay there. And it's all very cute! I also just love the HKDL & Tokyo style pins (I've always had a thing for "kawaii"), and Gelatoni is definitely the cutest addition to the Duffy gang so far

Are you doing the 5K or the half marathon?
 
Are you doing the 5K or the half marathon?

The half. I'm so excited, this year I've gotten my pink and blue coast to coast medals and I'm going to get my castle to chateau, hell or high water, if someone has to drag me over the finish line! I'm a slow runner, a plopper really, but I finish. Might be a few steps ahead of the balloons (dark side was awful!) but I finish!
 

That's the spirit!! :like: Do let us know how it went afterwards!

I am doing 5K (my very first run ever!) & will be running very slow as well. It's the only way I don't get completely exhausted! I'm not a trained runner at all, but luckily now I learned to control my pace and breathing so it's bearable
 

Released today at DLP (Photo Credit to Jean DP Facebook)
Now if they'll just do Clayton as one of the final 3 it'll be my favourite Villains collection of all time
OH! He looks so cool, Facilier is one of my favorite villains. I'm so glad they made a frame for him.

Which characters haven't they done? (I can't find a complete list) Are they stopping after this year? I want a Horned King!
 
I've just seen pictures of the 5K Medal pin on the September Flyer
It features Remy in his chefs hat , a blue ribbon . It's a LE400
There's also a Mickey badge for the 5K LE600 , and an OE version pin too .
I'm trying to source a decent image to post but I expect someone else may beat me to it
