Hi everyone

A few weeks ago I received a counterfeit version of Pin 80415 Jessica Rabbit as a Vampire from a very well known member here on DPF (If you would like to know their Username, please PM me). I took pictures of the pin and have decided to share them with the rest of the community in hope that it will raise awareness for this particular pin. Below you can see my pictures -

Before I was sure that this was a counterfeit I messaged gbdb4ever (Greg & Debby) and they were nice enough to send me pictures of the Jessica as Rabbit pin they bought themselves directly from the Disney Store. Below you can see their photos -

If you look at both sets of photos of the pins there are some noticeable differences -

1.) The Counterfeit came in a cheaply cellophane-like bag while the Authentic one comes in a ziplock-like bag.

2.) Authentic comes in white protective pouch while the Counterfeit does not have one.

4.) The small SKU that is Printed onto the Backing Card is missing on the Counterfeit but it is visible on the Authentic.

4.) While I know it cannot be 100% sure but the colors on the 2 pins seem to be pretty different looking.


The reason I believe I received a Counterfeit in the first place is because on the pin's listing on PinPics, it mentioned the counterfeits coming in a cellophane-like bag which mine did. You can see the comments on the pin on it's listing on PinPics.


I would like to thank Greg and Debby for taking their time in taking pictures of their pin for me :)
