Favorite Disney Pin Art - What's Your's?

[halloweenfiend]

I know we had a previous thread like this before, however I was ineffective in finding it. So as it goes --:wiggle: let's create a new one.

We have new traders entering our hobby daily. This is a chance for our community to expose them to not only the newer pins, but to revisit some of our older pins that have titillated longtime collectors. It's also an opportunity upon seeing them to...(how the heck did I miss that one - mussst have -- I will die if I can't find THAT ONE PIN - My Precious!!)......Add them to our "WANTS" list! :naughty:

There are literally tens-of-thousands of pins nowadays. Some we have wondered where the artists heads were at :facepalm:; some, at best, are mediocre; some that become "most wanted", we look at later, and wonder how they even made it to the pin community's radar . Then there are those pins, whose art and quality, speaks to an individual's heart, or better, knocks the entire community's proverbial socks off. :bowdown:

It is recommended that if you can see the pins in person, please take the opportunity. The pictures we see here do not often reveal their true beauty.

What are some of your favorites? Why?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are three that I enjoy. The art is detailed and reminiscent of a charming older postcard style.

#7489, DL Halloween Pumpkin Carving

#7490, DL Halloween Mickey and Bats

#7491, DL Halloween Minnie Witch

 

[Jabberwocky]

Masterpiece.

Gomes.

The usual DA LE100 suspects.

 

[robfromerie]

Halloween Fiend, your collection would probably be very interesting to me. I love all things halloween, I used to build haunted houses.

As such, my favorite pins are the ones that look a little scary.

Pin #63599

I love this pin. It depicts a great scene from the movie and is nicely designed.

Is this a pin-on-pin?

Masterpiece.

Oldies But GOODIES - Word!
My favorite Masterpiece is:

#35652 Masterpiece Series #3, Stitch

#52238, Maleficent

#32274, Chernabog

DA 100s - I have be blessed to acquire some of these treasures:

#42270, Halloween Party

#42269, Stitch Candy Corn Jumbo. This one is much more impressive in person.

Pin #63599

Halloween is our favorite holiday also. Before moving from Portland, we often turned our front yard into a full on graveyard -- kids from all around would come to see it.
I always refer to this pin (Runaway Brain Mickey) as "Mickey on Crack"! :lol:

 

[momin.ator]

Yes it is a pin-on-pin.

#3785, DCL, Halloween 2000

#49975, Halloween 2006, Mickey Mouse pumpkin

#55580, Pumpkin Ear Hat

I had NO IDEA there were that many Halloween Mickey head pins, that's a great collection!

 

[ThierryHenry]

There are some "Stitch as Sorcerer" pins that I find simply amazing...my two favourites:

71255

34316

 

[unibear]

Seems to be a Stitch theme. I love many of the DA100 pins of Stitch, but here are two lower-level pins that I find really cute. Every time I see them, I want to trade for them but I have to remind myself that I already have them!

Pin 42725: DCL - Stitch's High Sea Adventure - Stitch 'Leave Now!' (Gift)

Pin 58611: DisneyShopping.com - 2007 Advent Set (Days 13-18) - Stitch

 

[halloweenfiend]

#58611, 2007 Advent, Stitch is ADORABLE. Stitch's attitude is so apparent --- "Mine! Mine! Mine!":lol:

 

[halloweenfiend]

I had NO IDEA there were that many Halloween Mickey head pins, that's a great collection!

Thank you!

I see that you collect Black Cauldron. Have you see these yet?

#72291, The Black Cauldron 25th Anniversary Pin Set - Creeper Only

The detailing of the art is wonderful. I'm still trying to convince myself that it belongs to my Halloween collection. :lol:

#72293, The Black Cauldron 25th Anniversary Pin Set - The Horned King with Gwythaints Only is another great pin. Pinpics picture does not do it true justice.

Yes, I have both of those, they are pretty big, nice sized pins. Black Cauldron is one of my main collections and I am only missing 2 pins, unless you count the new wdi Gurgi pin that hasn't been released yet. I'll have to post some pix of some of the nicer ones.

Tough question! There are SO MANY PRETTY PINS.

Here are some sets I love the look of.

The graphic novel series...


The masterpiece series...



The Beloved Tales series:




Elizabeth Gomes pins:


Some other beautiful sets...

And The Kiss Series: (I own these and they are GORGEOUS in person!)

 

[SoraPandora]

Now here are some of my own favorites in terms of artwork, from all my different collections:

And here are a few more assorted pins with great artwork that I would LOVE to own someday...

 

[halloweenfiend]

I agree that the Princess Carousel Horse set (#23948, 23950, 23951, 23953 -23955) are lovely. Disney Auctions produced hard enamel pins with rich color and attention to detail.

 

[KT07]

Cant show a bunch of Halloween pins and not have the king. NBC pins rock!!

 

[Needlesandpins]

I love the graphic novel set, never seen that before!

These are some of my favourites -

also beloved tales!

 

[halloweenfiend]

As a number of you like the comics-style. How about this:
This 1000LE set depicts Mickey trying to serenade his sweetheart Minnie Mouse. The neighborhood animals want to join in which causes Mickey a little embarrassment. Released from the Disneyland Resort, the 6-pin framed set was inspired by the 'Sunday funnies', which debuted on Sunday January 13, 1930. Two years later it became a weekly page and ran for the next 30 years.

#43385, DLR - Mickey Mouse Sunday Comics - Framed 6 Pin Set (Cow)

Pin 43386 DLR - Mickey Mouse Sunday Comics - Framed 6 Pin Set (Minnie Mouse)

Pin 43383 DLR - Mickey Mouse Sunday Comics - Framed 6 Pin Set (Mickey Mouse)

Pin 43384 DLR - Mickey Mouse Sunday Comics - Framed 6 Pin Set (Pluto)

Then I'm sure you have zeroed (pardon the pun. :naughty on these ones

93146 DLR - NBC 'What's This' Series Jumbo - Jack Skellington & Oogie Boogie. I've seen this one in person. The art is on the edgy, graphic side. Some of the best that I have seen for Jack!

93182 Halloween 2012 - Jumbo Pin - Jack Skellington. Again great attention to details and rich colors.
Both should be a MUST for NBC collectors IMHO.

 

[SkeleCountry]

[h=3]Pin 98992 Happiest Haunts 2013 Tour Pin - Hatbox Ghost[/h]

​

 

[KTM]

Pin 50259 - DLRP - Halloween 2006 - Donald and Goofy as Captain Hook and Mr. Smee

I got this pin recently and pictures just don't do it justice. The colours are absolutely incredible. I really love this one! It's now my favourite in my collection.

I also love these two and would love to add them to my collection some day:

Pin 91025 WDW - Mickey's Circus - Jumbo Pin - Welcome Gift

Pin 47872: Disney Auctions - Elisabete Gomes (Lilo & Scrump)

 

[halloweenfiend]

Paris always does a smashing job on their pins; even their booster pins are lovely!

This one is so much better in person. The flames are iridescent

25433 DLRP - Halloween 2003 (Maleficent) Glitters

The following four were a part of Halloween starter lanyard packages.

25434 DLRP - Halloween 2003 (Mickey) and

25435, DLRP - Halloween 2003 (Goofy)

42219 DLRP - Halloween - Pin Trading Starter Set (Devil Stitch in Pumpkin)

42293 DLRP - Halloween - Pin Trading Starter Set (Stitch Biting Trick or Treat Pumpkin)


And this pin is just flat GORGEOUS with it's pin-on-pin and glitter features. This is a great picture, but, definitely breathtaking in person.

50223 DLRP - Halloween 2006 - Stitch as Chernabog


Speaking again of Paris's starter/booster pins - This picture does such injustice to this pin! I was so taken with the delightful facial detailing on Tinkers face that I added her to my collection. Even though, she has nothing to do with my collection (be quiet -- it was a moment of weakness -- OK!) :lol:

54932 DLRP - Tinker Bell 2007 Starter Set (Lanyard & 4 Pins) Dancing Tink.

 

[KTM]

:lol: Nothing wrong with a moment of weakness. That Tinker pin is really lovely. And those Halloween pins...well, that's another 6 for my 'wants' list!

Being Bad

Being Bad is an open edition group. I like the first three. Of course, Maleficent plays into my theme collection. Jafar is dynamic with his rich red and Chernabog has the vibrant orange. However, I was not to impressed with Hades. I don't care for the design, as it's hard to make him out, even in person. Some members have created some lovely frames with these four.

28575 Being Bad (Maleficent)


28580 Being Bad (Jafar)


28581 Being Bad (Chernabog)


28582 Being Bad (Hades)
