I recently made a Trade for this pin and the Maleficent pin (118191) from the WDI Villains series #1. The FRONT of the Scar pin looks OK BUT I am questioning the back stamp information and format. I compared the Scar pin to the other 5 pins I have from the set and it is different.

The "box" and the font style of the lettering is definitely different from the other 5 pins. Font is smaller, and, the FAC number is stamped into the pin, not a "label" like the other pins. Can anyone who has this pin, who bought it directly from Disney, contribute what the back-stamp format is, thanks. I am very concerned about this Trade. Plus, the Trade came from overseas, China.

Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it *at all*. I know of no fakes or scrappers of this set. Additionally, disneys QC has been very sucky and the telltale signs of old can't really be applied to new pins. The first sign of fakes that I now look for is several/many for sale on eBay and those two pins you mentioned are two of the hardest pins to find....either to trade or purchase.
 
Okay so I have Scar / Dr Facilier / Evil Queen
Scar & Dr F both have the FAC number in a box under the edition number . EQ is printed below it in black , not embossed .
The FAC number for Scar reads FAC-046730-16218 .
Hope this helps , I'm pretty confident they're all genuine
 
THANKS everyone, the FAC # is the same as listed above so that is a relief. I guess I'll write it off as bad QC. Just concerned because it was a Trade for my 2 WDI pins (Princess Floral Fans) and I was concerned.
