2017 Pin Releases
According to cast members at Pin Traders in Epcot today, they never actually received any of the 35th anniversary lanyards that were supposed to be released today. Mouse Gear never got any either. They got all the other pins and the pouch though. Sooooooo keep a look out for that I guess?

The LE1500 pin & lanyard medal set is totally undervalued.

I came to the conclusion awhile ago (with some confirmation from independent evaluators, ha) that Funkos based on cartoon/animated characters often look very, very creepy. In contrast, those based on live/real personages are usually adorable. I LOVE the Pops based on the live-action Alice movies, the live-action Cinderella, and the live-action Beauty and the Beast. But animated Alice? Creeps me out. Ha ha. It's almost like the animation is distorted enough from reality that further distorting it into Funko territory is just too much. There are exceptions, of course, but that's how I feel about them!

I can definitely agree with this assessment. I like some of the animated ones (oddly enough the Darkwing Duck series turned out looking okay), but most of them are a little strange.

This is one of the Pinopolis pins being released for presale this Friday , if anyone's planning on placing an order for themselves and is willing to add one of these on for me please let me know , I can't justify another $25 for postage to the UK :(

Interesting that they're releasing the November flyer now. What are they going to be previewing at the Villains event then?

They didn't have any previews at this year's EPCOT trade event, so I imagine their preview boards will be what should have been at LIAA. Namely upcoming PTDs and several months' worth of pin previews.

I was going to order too, so if Disneychildwith can’t, I could. Do they sell out quickly or something? And didn’t you have some discount codes for the website? I’ve never used the pinopolis website so I’m not sure if it’s a straight purchase or not.

The more popular ones tend to go quickly , the recent Little Mermaid one for example , but generally speaking no .
Discount codes I previously posted will work : Netherlands Pinmaster / Florida Pinmaster
And yes it's a pre-order , you'll be charged when you place the order though . If you order at an event you get invoiced at a later date .
I messaged Lucy but thank you for the offer , normally I'd just order for myself but as I said $25 for one pin seems extortionate

They previewed some at the LiaA event, but haven't announced when they'll drop. I'm assuming it'll be either at the end of the month or early November.

Finally! I choose to believe they finally dropped the final set because I was talking with the cashier at DSF about the alphabet pins yesterday. ;)

Feel free to start dropping hints about movies that haven't gotten marquees yet. I know you have your own list, but if you add Alice in Wonderland to it, I'll buy you ice cream for six months! ;)

These have just been announced as next year's monthly pin releases at HKDL (so similar to this year's train set):
