Front Description
This listing is for the Ariel pin from the Designer Shoes Booster Set (#90874).
This Pin is a Princess Ariel (From Disney's The Little Mermaid) Inspired Shoe with details taken from her purple sea shells and her fin/tail.
This pin set will be released in late 2012 and will contain seven stylized shoes inspired by Disney Princesses. Disney Design Group Artist Dave Keefer designed the shoe artwork for an upcoming softlines program, but we thought they would make great pins.
•Golden finish
•Enameled cloisonné
•Mickey icon pin backs
Pins in the series: #90875-90881

Be aware that these pins are being sold on eBay without the card prior to the pins being released by Disney. As such no one can guarantee the authenticity of these pins unless purchased directly from Disney.
Some signs to spot a counterfeit version:
1) The authentic has 1 pin post with 1 nub. The fake has 1 pin post and NO nubs.
2) The Mickey icon pattern goes all the way off the edge on the authentic pins. The fakes have a border around the edge and thus the Mickey heads look distorted.
3) The gold metal on the fakes is darker color.
4) On the back of the pin, sometimes the fakes have bubbles in the metal.
