The latest news from the official Disney Pin Trading blog, What’s HapPINing:

Today is a special day for the one and only Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. DisneyPins.com wishes them a happy birthday! In honor of the special day, we have two sneak previews – one of which features Mickey Mouse.

This image above shows three different pins from the upcoming 10th Anniversary Mystery Series that will be released in February 2010. This limited release boxed set will contain two randomly selected pins – featuring the top full color pin or the middle golden quest pin. There are 10 designs featuring different Disney characters with the number 10 (so 10 in full color and 10 done in gold). We selected Mickey Mouse to showcase today in honor of his special day.

The bottom pin in blue will be the Cast Chaser which will only be available for trade from select Disney Cast Members at Domestic US Disney locations. The Cast Chasers won’t debut until the mystery set is released next year (so please don’t start looking for them yet).

The size of these pins impressed us the most. They are 1.75″ round (so about the size of the DeeBees mystery pins). Yet they look much larger due to the artwork that fills the entire circle (we should have paid attention in geometry class). We collectively yelled “Wow!” when we first saw the pre-production samples.

The other preview is a four-pin open edition set being released in California and Florida. It features the four quotes from the “man who started it all” – Walt Disney. What a fun collection! We really like the squiggly-lined, mid-century modern inspired background on the artwork. Originally, this background was a plan beige color. Julie Young, developer for this set, felt that something was missing and spoke with the artist. Ta-dah! Squiggly lines made all the difference.

Yet we like the pins even better! Gosh, we’ve come a long way since those Walt Disney scroll quote pins from years ago (anyone remember them?). The quotes in this set include the following:

“Today we are the shapers of the world tomorrow.”

“Happiness is a state of mind.”

“Why do we have to grow up?” (DisneyPins.com: We keep asking ourselves this one everyday!)

“I get red, white and blue at times.”Look for this set coming in 2010.
Finally, we have a date for Disney Trading Night in Florida for December. Mark your calendar for Friday, December 18 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This free activity will be held in the Ballroom of the Americas at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. We have two releases during the evening – Nights of Pin Trading and DeeBees – Wonder Series. We hope to see you there!
