Hi there everyone!

So after joining the site about six months ago, I figured it's probably time to introduce myself. I've been collecting pins for about 15 years. Originally it was just Marvel, Hello Kitty, and the occasional animated Robin Hood pin I came across in the wild. That expanded to Disney Parks pins in 2016 when I went back to WDW for the first time in 20 years. I didn't actually get into pin trading until 2020 and the Tiny Kingdom series and there's been no looking back since then. I learned about the Disney Pin Forum last year from Jenn and Chris over at Pin & Pop, where I'm also a mod - so if anyone has any questions about the site (especially when it comes to photographs and series), please feel free to ask!

Now on to the part I'm sure people are more interested in - my collections. 😀

Disney Parks:
  • World Showcase (especially the skyline and architecture)
  • it's a small world (especially the clock and anything in Mary Blair's art style)
  • park history
  • Orange Bird
Movies and Characters
  • Marvel: Black Widow and Winter Soldier
  • Star Wars: Din/Mando and Grogu as a family, Minnie Mouse as Princess Leia, and Donald Duck as Darth Maul
  • Pixar: Turning Red
  • Disney: Lady Kluck (I am one super jumbo pin away from being Lady Kluck complete), Anna and Kristoff as a couple, Robin Hood (both the character and the movie), Minnie and Daisy dressed in historical costumes, Minnie and Daisy dressed in traditional/folk dresses from around the world (i.e. kimono, saris, hanbok, dirndl, etc.)
And on top of all of that, I'm always on the lookout for the following pins for my mother and sister:
  • Goofy (especially Goofy as Darth Vader)
  • Enchanted Tiki Room
  • Three Caballeros
  • José Carioca
  • Adventure Through Inner Space
 
Hi there, welcome to the Forum! Nice to have you join the fun. Lots of crazy cool people here. Nice collections, I would LOVE to see photos of your Lady Kluck collection when you have time.

I would also love to see a photo of my Lady Kluck collection! 😆 I ran out of wall space back during WDW's 50th anniversary (I blame the Vault collection), so half my collection is packed away. One of these days, I'm going to rearrange all my walls so I can get my complete Robin Hood and World Showcase collections on display.

And thank you to everyone else for the warm welcome!
 
Welcome! We have a bunch of the same collections, especially on the park side. And we've made a couple trades via Trade Arcades.
 
We have! I'm pretty sure one of recent trades involved an Orange Bird pin that I was so excited to finally get, so thank you so much for that trade. 😊
 
Hello and welcome to DPF! Robin Hood is my main collection (three pins from completist!), and I'm always happy to see more collectors! Especially Klucky, she's such a great character! I also collect Turning Red (mainly focused on Panda Mei but I sometimes branch out to 4*Town and Mei's friends).
