Need Help with Pin Series Name

My family was at Disney World for the first time last month. We immediately were drawn to the pins and began collecting on our first day. One series we particularly love is the Hidden Mickey collection. There was one series we saw in the display cases at the various pin trader stores but weren't lucky enough to get in our hidden mickey pin packages. I have looked online and have not been able to find them anywhere. Here is a description:
  • They are similar to the Sweet Characters series in that they are minimally stylized with block colors
  • They are profiles/silhouettes of Tinkerbell, fairies, or something similar.
  • They are square or rectangular.

I know it isn't much to go on, but I am hoping someone on the boards knows what I am referring to. Thank you in advance!
 
I wonder if perhaps you are talking about the Hidden Mickey Topiaries collection which feature various characters that can be hard to determine. The Tink is pin 50608 if that helps to determine if these are the ones. :dumbo: Probably not, but worth a shot. Can't think of any others with block colors that include Tink other than that you mentioned. There are the Pooh & friends ones that are similar but again, no fairies, so I guess I'm not being a lot of help, lol.

Pin 94952: WDW - 2013 Hidden Mickey Series - Sweet Characters - Pinocchio

Pin 94955: WDW - 2013 Hidden Mickey Series - Sweet Characters - Tigger

I saw a few at DLR last weekend on cast lanyards so they may have already migrated west (for FL traders coming to visit CA)
 
All the Hidden Mickey collections are on ODPT.com

Here's the current list: http://eventservices.disney.go.com/files/HMMP-WDW Set A-1Sheet.jpg

I don't think I saw any older HM series in the case at Pin Traders at Downtown Disney, which is where I'm guessing you saw a case. But you can look at the Disneyland series and the older WDW pins here: http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/event?id=38899
 
Poohs_Hotstuff: Unfortunately, that was not the pin, but thank you for the lead.

Starry_solo: Those are the pins I referenced in the post. The pins I saw were very much like the Sweet Character series, which I really love as well.

Hopemax: I checked all of the checklists yesterday and didn't see them there. Then I thought they may be a cast exclusive series or something just for year round pass holders.

Thank you all for your help thus far. I have a friend going in a month and I may ask him to speak take a photo of the display case in the pin trader store at Downtown Disney or Epcpt (saw the pin series at both locations) or ask the cast members what they are. I am kind of obsessed to at least find out the name of the series.
