    Disneyland Paris Pins for July 2012 – Brave arrives with World of Disney & Phantom Manor

    A massive 19 pins are being released in July, which must be some kind of record? Without further a do, here they are in all their glory. I’m not keen on the handbag pins, but then I have a feeling I’m not the target demographic for these two releases. There are two more of the slightly over-priced 20th Anniversary train pins, this time featuring Goofy and Chip & Dale. If you collect all of these then they would very nice in a long frame with a decent background. The white picture…

    Disneyland Paris Pins for June 2012 – A massive 14 pins, including Duffy

    The pins are coming in thick and fast in Disneyland Paris these days and June 2012 sees 14 released, all different types of pin as you can see from the poster. In the top left you can see the pin game that was launched this month as part of the May 2012 releases and I talked about previously. It looks like there is a 3 pin set that comes out in June that goes with the game and together it forms a train with 3 carriages. That 3 pin set costs…

    Disneyland Paris Pins for May 2012 – The best pin releases ever?

    You may think that title is taking it to extremes but the originality and variety of the pin releases in Disneyland Paris for May are exceptional. It’s almost like they’ve been waiting for me to visit Disneyland Paris and have rolled out their best work for my visit. Let’s start with the 4 robot pins, which I absolutely love. The Pin MK Robot in particular is absolutely gorgeous with the nicest design of inner workings of the 4 in this set. This has gone straight to the top of my ‘to…

    Disneyland Paris Pins for April 2012 – 20th Anniversary & Phineas & Ferb

    Disneyland Paris are back with another set of pins for April 2012 and there are some stunners, and some others, but we’ll get to those later! I absolutely adore the 2 retro pins and really hope that these become available on DisneyStore.co.uk with the other 20th Anniversary merchandise that will be sold from April 1st. The other two 20th Anniversary pins are great too, with the Mickey Mouse giving a nod to the 1992 imagery of when the park opened. The clock one features the clock which is on the front…

    Disneyland Paris Pins for March 2012 – The Pins are back, 20th Anniversary Specials

    After 2 months of me complaining, justifiably, that the Disneyland Paris pin releases were too few in number, we have 14 for March 2012 – almost 5 times as many as January and February combined! I think the starter kit is absolutely fantastic and I like those pins better than the main pin releases. I really like the stamp design of the starter kit pins, and I know it’s simple and maybe obvious, but putting 20 where the price would normally be is a nice touch. I have to get one…
