DLRP Eiffel Tower Collection Pins

[unibear]

I just received three pins (Mickey, Minnie, and Cheshire Cat) from the Paris Eiffel Tower collection from a reputable eBay seller. When I opened them, I noticed that the Minnie and the Cheshire Cat pins have severe paint dips in them (especially egregious for the Cheshire Cat with about 5 different dips), just like we see here in the States on really bad counterfeit pins.

Does anybody else have these pins, and if so, did yours come with really severe paint dips? I'm sure this is a Disney manufacturing error and not a counterfeit issue, but if all or most of these pins have severe dips, I won't bother trying to get replacement pins for these two and I will probably stop collecting the series entirely...

Looking for information from others who own or have seen these pins. Thanks.

yes I have all three, mine were gotten from DLRP Park my mickey has some paint dip at the top of the tower where ears are and the cheshire as one tiny spot at top of ears as well, but I do know mine were gotten in the park,

Well that sucks. I really wanted all of those but I hate crappy quality pins.

That really surprises me from Paris pins, they are usually the best in quality (in my opinion).

thing is it is not too noticable unless you are really looking for it
