Is there any type of pins that you love that aren't necessarily just certain characters/attractions?

For example, I am a photographer so any pin that has a camera on it goes on my wants list, especially if it's a Goofy pin! Also, I'm half Irish, so I love St. Patrick's Day pins.

What kind of pins do you love?

I'm a big fan of the Haunted Mansion, but specifically the Disneyland Haunted Mansion, as that is the only one I've been to. I guess that makes me a bit picky, but I know what I like!
 
As of now, I'm enamored with PODM (piece of disney movie) pins and so I'm mostly trying to collect those. Mainly because they are very beautiful and unique. Also, I feel like I can't just collect one but all of them so... Other pins that I look for to collect are pins from Tokyo and/or Japan especially Valentine themed ones just because they are absolutely adorable! I also collect Japan PALS Lucky Boxed pins which are, again, very adorable thus why I want to collect them all :)

Here are a few of my favorites in my collection:
Pin 34371: JDS - Disney PALS Lucky Draw Boxed Pin (Lady)

What pin in your collection is your favorite? :O
 
I mostly just go off aesthetics. Whatever pleases my eye. I like round shapes, so Mickey icons are what I'm looking to collect...not that THAT collection will ever be complete! Also I like certain parks and attractions, Epcot especially. For me, my favorite thing about Disney is WDW so anything that reminds me of being there with my wife has a great shot of ending up in my collection. :wiggle:
 
Aside from the main themes I collect... I like anything Hanukkah themed (so dreidels, menorahs, etc.), and Halloween pins, especially those that include pumpkins or Jack-o-Lanterns. I also like Mickey icons, and certain round pins have caught my eye, too.
 
I look for mostly Belle wearing her yellow gown. and or Pink dress she wore in the snow
Plus book pins there's something about them that I care for
 
Haunted Mansion is a family favorite, but I'm going to focus on pins that show the DoomBuggies with non HM characters.

I love Eve, Wall-E is one of my favorite movies, and I like all of her pins really. There's a beautiful simplicity in her design that speaks to me.

I do wish there were more pins about adoption, I'd be interested in those also.
 
i collect waay to much but i love my silly symphonies pins...alot of them are very detailed and they all have something cool, like 3D/doors/movement/ i also have fond memories as a kid watching the shorts after school..when there where only 7 channels to choose from!!
