Description
This authentic Disney trading pin features Dug the dog from the beloved Pixar film 'Up'. Dug is depicted within a colorful geometric frame design of overlapping squares in red, blue, and yellow. Approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Includes the signature Mickey-head rubber backing and backstamp common to official Disney Park merchandise.
Key Features
Fan-favorite character; durable hard enamel construction; highly tradable item at Disney Parks.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The back of the pin features the waffle/diamond Mickey pattern which often bleeds off the edge (a sign of authentic molds), and the rubber pin back is the standard Mickey-head shape used in official parks.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface micro-scratches from previous handling; no original packaging (cardboard backing card missing).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Mercari, or specialized Disney Pin Trading Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
Mention 'Official Disney Parks' in the title. Use clear, close-up photos of both the front and the backstamp to prove authenticity. Ship in a padded bubble mailer to prevent the pin post from bending.
