Which is authentic?

[imp]

I have two of Pin 73303: DLR - 2009 Hidden Mickey Series - Villains with Pets - Jafar and Iagoin. Both look pretty good, but the colours are different, so at least one is a scrapper. I think the right one is authentic, but the colours don't quite match the Pinpics photo so I'm looking for some help.

Here are the two pins:

Here's the Pinpics photo:



The colours are pretty accurate in my photo. The right one has a darker colour in the background and neck area, but brighter blue and reds. The background colour of the left one is closer to the photo on Pinpics, but the blue and reds of the right one are closer to the Pinpics photo.

Since lighting so often changed colours in photos, I don't know how well the colours are depicted in the Pinpics photo. I'm hoping that someone who has an authentic one can tell me if either one looks like the real thing.

The pupil of the right eye seems to be missing on the left one, but it's so close to the edge of his eye that I suppose it could be a quality issue.

The right one is slightly thicker but they're both the same weight. The backstamps on both are correct.

I would say the one on the right. The lines are cleaner (less thick) and especially the color bleeding in Iago's beak on the left one makes me think it's a scrapper. Jeeze, sometimes these guys are too good!

I would have to say the one on the right is the real one as you can see on the pics the one on the left has a lot of "dips" in the paint and the colors in general seem a lot darker!! I hate that people make fakes!!!

I think they are messing with us. I tried all 3 browsers and see nothing but the linked pin.

Can you see it now?

YES! hooray!

OK. the first pic, definately not a good one. fake or scrap doesnt matter, the underfill would turn me off for a trade. There is an error in the paint fill of Iago's mouth, and Jafar's upper eye is missing the metal pupil. There is also something very very different about Jafars ornament on his hat. And last but not least, the "mickey" is kind of warped looking where the ears meet the head.

The second one however, lighting could cause it to be a diff color in appearance to the pinpic image. It looks "clean" to me and I would be comfortable trading it.
