Authentic Disney Parks limited release puzzle piece pin featuring Brother Bear characters Kenai and Koda against a purple mountain range. The pin is shaped as a jigsaw puzzle piece that fits into a larger Sleeping Beauty Castle mural set. It features a black castle silhouette with the iconic Mickey ears 'hidden' in the spires. Silver-tone finish with a Mickey-head rubber pin back.
Key Features
Part of a collectible puzzle set; features Brother Bear (a less common secondary Disney franchise); Includes 'Hidden Mickey' in the mountain corner; Limited release; desirable for completionists building the full castle puzzle.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; look for the 'Official Pin Trading' stamp on the back with the date 2018, '© DISNEY' and 'MADE IN CHINA' marks, and a nub next to the pin post. The enamel fills should be flush and not 'dipped' or concave like common 'scrapper' fakes.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface scratches on the black silhouette area (high-gloss enamel often shows these); slight wear on the silver edging; missing original backing card.
