I’m not a fan of free-D because it stains really easily. People keep them uncovered in trade books, which are mainly black, so the blacks rubs off on them and they look dirty. Plus I always worry about it drying out eventually and crumbling or the glue coming undone and the whole chunk falling out. I will say that sometimes it is used cleverly (like the Inside Out Father’s Day pin where Riley’s Dad’s foam finger is free-D).
The mice are cute, and I’m happy to see another Church Mice pin. Also happy to see low excitement for them overall since that should mean a low turnout at the release. I’d love to see a Gadget surprise but recent trends have me thinking the surprise for that set will be Mickey.
The Frozen ones look kind of cool but am waiting to see how they look in person.
