Description
Authentic Disney Vinylmation Urban Series 1 collectible enamel pin. Features the iconic Mickey Mouse-shaped Vinylmation form in a vibrant neon yellow/chartreuse colorway with a black swirling tribal-style pattern across the face and torso. Approximately 1.25 inches tall.
Key Features
Highly collectible Vinylmation series; recognizable Mickey silhouette; popular early Urban series design; crossover appeal for both pin traders and Vinylmation figure collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: Medium-High. Genuine pins feature a Mickey head pattern on the back (backstamp) and 'Official Pin Trading' logo. Note: If the yellow hue is dull or the lines are blurry, it could be a 'scrapper' (unauthorized factory second), but this color saturation looks correct.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface wear/faint scratches consistent with age and handling. Some dust/scuffs visible on the yellow enamel under close inspection.

Where to Sell
eBay (best for targeted collectors), Mercari (active pin community), or Disney Pin Trading groups on Facebook.
Selling Tips
