For all those who collect the Artist Choice Pins...

The Figment one is wrong. It shows Martha Widener as the artist on the backstamped this is an error it is actually Costa Alavezos who designed this pin. Not sure if that makes a differance or not but sorta messes up the series...

Well, I bet Costa Alavezos is mighty p'ed off about that!

Why do you say it messes up the series?

Well as you know I collect just a few styles of pins. One of those is the Artist Choice set from WDW. I have had them all signed by the artist and then made up this frame set for the artist choices pins

Well imagine my surprise when I found out Michelle Morrow did not do a pin that has her name on it. The trouble I see is that Disney didn't bother to say anything. This pin never should have been released. If it was an error like a missed spelled word or wrong color I could understand but to release a pin that I consider to a collectable under the name of another artist and then not even let us know I feel is wrong.

I could never see this happening with a WDCC piece or any other collectable. It is just another instance of Disney not taking pin collecting serious. I mean you make a Limited Edition Pin called an ARTIST CHOICE and give another artist credit... It is either poor quality control or they just don't get it... After this weekend I vote for the second choice.

JMO but I feel they should have held this pin and had it redone.

ok, I understand now...and you are right about their attitude toward pin collectors. I am starting to feel a bit taken advantage of....

Did you get my pm?
