Our least favorite "cold" seller from Hong Kong (or not) has sold several different PTD styles in the last couple months. Anyone know, aside from these and the old Tinker Bell that showed up years ago, if there are any other styles showing up in unauthorized ways?

The ones that specific seller had are:

Shoot, PTDs were one of the last "safe" pin types for awhile there...

The known PTDs that have been faked/scrapped in the past have been early Tinker Bells, Kermit, and Zero.
 
I'm bumping this thread up to ask if anyone knows of any additional styles that have been compromised.

I've spent the summer sort of not paying attention to pins or Ebay because I didn't have any play money. Now, I have a little $$ and was thinking about buying a couple PTDs that aren't that unreasonably priced and wondered if I missed the arrival of more bad pins.
 
Have to say I saw a LE 1000 Rapunzel Tsum tsum recently on a cast member lanyard at world of Disney in Anaheim that HAD to be a fake. Besides the poor likelihood of finding it like that, there was a color mistake (one ear was a much darker shade than the other) and it had that "far too lightweight" feeling. It also said "Made in China" TWICE on the back, but without a real one to compare it with, I can't claim that is truly a mistake, just something that looked odd.
(I know, it's not a PTD, but here you are anyway) :roll:
 
I think the ones you posted are the ones that I've seen that seller have in the past few months. Nothing new.
