It features a teal sunburst background with a centered illustration of an Ewok. The iconic silver Mickey silhouette (Hidden Mickey) is located in the upper left corner.
Key Features

Authenticity Indicators
High confidence if the back has the 'PIN TRADING 2011' logo and 'Hidden Mickey Pin 1 of 5' stamps. Red flags: grainy metal on the back, missing Mickey icon, or bleeding enamel.
Flaws to Note
Possible 'scrapper' (counterfeit) risk which is common with Hidden Mickey pins; check for paint dips or soft edges. Surface scratches on the metal back.

Where to Sell
eBay (best for collectors), Mercari (fast sales), or specialized Disney Pin Trading Facebook groups.
Selling Tips
Photograph the back of the pin clearly to show authenticity stamps. Use keywords: 'Star Wars Disney Pin', 'Hidden Mickey Ewok', 'Paploo Pin Trading'. Ship in a bubble mailer as 'Ground Advantage' to keep costs low and provide tracking.
