Emily's Best & Worst of Disney Pins 2020

[@MagicallyEmily]

*Let me know what is on your Best & Worst list!*

[@carrishipaila2256]

The baseball card type pins are my worst list.

[@thelaughingrat]

I thought the 2020 advent calendar set was a pretty strong collection, but anything Star Wars was lazy this year. Also, the Mulan remake pins were really generic feeling, apart from the movie itself being underwhelming.

Make a new video of where you buy your Disney pins ?

[@robbyu.672]

@@jonelchino she has made a ton of those

[@amandaproudfoot7075]

I literally laughed out loud when you showed the Emperors New Grove pin that’s so ridiculous!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@toriandtilly]

I mean it might fit on a lanyard 😂

[@toriandtilly]

Ok but I need a fiesty pin that is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@cindyspence7237]

I agree with you on all the dislikes especially the Snowman series. They were almost creepy looking! Happy New Year!

[@stephl3207]

I liked most of the cereal box pins, definitely in the best category for me. The Timon one is my personal favorite but there's so many cool designs.

[@alysaur3069]

Best- trick or treat cuties! I LOVED them! I could only get one and it was a really hard choice of which one to get. Best- the tangled tenths anniversary was just stunning!

[@LouisaRubyDDD]

The Trick or Treat cuties were adorable! Great pick!

[@robbyu.672]

Your face when you say “this has definitely been a year” was a MOOD 😂😂

[@juliewilliams2038]

I totally agree with the Grogu pins! I was excited to collect them, but I haven’t any yet because they look like such poor quality!! So disappointed.

[@trin9264]

My favorite was the cereal box pins and the I collect pins by far!!

[@carrishipaila2256]

Omg I just realized my Bruni is spelled wrong... I'm perplexed I didn't look close enough to notice

[@TheHarachtee]

Hello! I thought you would mention the designer pins from the villain MIDNIGHT MASQUERADE series ( in wich isma is also included). I got the set (on sale in Europe) and it is amazing! Such original artwork ... especially for an emperor s new groove collector like yourself! Isma is a queen in this set!

[@beccamcneely9421]

I did enjoy/collect the alien remix series..only shopDisney ones-it really looks nice all together. I agree with the snowmen series...pretty strange looking for sure! Happy 2021!

[@jenniferreiff9865]

I agree with the Cruisers pins. My biggest issue was that the cruises themselves were so different from each other (i.e. different scales, different materials, some were full ride vehicles while others were halves). I also had a few come with the plastic around the cruiser broken.

[@gigiedits8616]

The dumbo and Baymax snowman pins are adorable!

[@philhendricks3625]

Emily, Happy New Year!!! Hope to see you at Disneyland this year.

[@CinderAliLovesDisney]

Hi Emily. Thanks for sharing this info. I agree with you on the snowman set too. Some of them, like Cinderella, look a little spooky 😂. And that Emperors New Groove pin with the full stand on the bottom 😲 WHAT? That is an odd one. ~Ali 🎀🏰💖

[@Matt-eb9ne]

Hi Emily! I loved the I Collect pin series and Scents pin series too, and agree with all of the rest of your categorizations. For 2021, I'm looking most forward to the The Windows of Main Street USA Area, Disney Dream Destinations, and Where Fantasy Grows: A Disney Terrarium Series. It all depends on the style of the first two pins and the subject of the third pin whether I will get them or not. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the best and worst of 2020 pins.

[@MagicallyEmily]

I really wish they would release the 2021 monthly series already!

[@kylerrettberg6138]

I agree with most I loved the first Minnie main attraction it was my first pin but they go so popular I couldn’t get any more

[@bluelycanroc.]

The vintage toy pins are on sale on shopdisney right now. Shocker. Edit: I kinda like the snowman set actually. I own the scrooge

[@specsandscience47]

I agree, I really dislike those snowmen ones! The Mr. Toad pin is so cute, I'm gonna have to get one for my collection lol thank you for another great video, Emily!

[@v_zach]

2020 was the first year I bought pins that were not specific souvenirs. I got myself the Fantasia 80th anniversary, the series of four. I wish they had made a Rite of Spring pin with dinosaurs, but the four they decided on are good. I also got the Pocahontas 25th anniversary pin.

[@johnginardi8107]

I really liked the ink and paint series 2 pins.

[@정앤드류-j9s]

Wish Disney continued the LunchTime & Characters w/ Latte series...

[@DoofsInDisney]

I agree with you that the QC of the pins has gone way down hill. What you used to be able to gage as real or fake... now many brand new pins from the parks are showing these mistakes.

[@crazilicious666]

Hey Emily, if you wanted to put the kuzco pin on a board you could cut a piece of cork for the actual post to go into, then glue a thumbtack to the back of the cork piece if that makes sense!

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

The “I Collect” pins are super cool! I hadn’t seen those before. I have to agree that the entire Minnie Mouse the Main Attraction was a giant mess. We bought the book and it was so cheap and bulky, and then weren’t able to get half the pins.

[@TuggerAbbey]

Mine are all tarnishing and they are in bags and not handled

[@Victoria-cm7yh]

Those Star Wars LE pins have been on ShopDisney since at least this summer. I think maybe the designs are too drab-looking and blocky to appeal to a lot of pin collectors. I don't collect Star Wars pins, but I have seen ones that actually have some color and personality to their designs, and I think those traits are what a lot of pin collectors look for. If any Star Wars pin collectors have some insight on why these LEs were so unpopular, I would be curious to know! Very fun video, I hope you make this best and worst list a yearly feature!

[@tanyamassey9438]

Right on

[@WaltKristiWorld]

Snowman set was what I immediately thought of! Still laugh at how bad they are.

[@sams_disney_life3235]

I do need to get in to pins!

[@toriandtilly]

How do you pick up the monthly pins as they are released if you don't live near a park? Do you find someone to do pickups? How does that work?

[@DoofsInDisney]

I loved the Alien Remix. But you are correct. The Pin board was terrible. Regarding the Quarterly mickey pins was that outrageous price tag. Regarding the spelling error... Did you see the Cindsrella Disney Visa Chase pin? The 75th Anniversarry They ended up yanking it from shot disney.

[@myfamilyiscrazy]

I got the Winnie the Pooh pin from the "I Collect..." series and I love it so much.

[@isabelh684]

those holo nails!!! yes girl!

[@egracie18]

I’m collecting the castle series that came out this year. I’ve always dreamed about a series like this and I really like the outside but the screen printing of the rooms on the inside is disappointing. Guess I’m still waiting on my dream castle series.

[@nolongerlost]

My local disney store has been so shoty with the release of those I have only been able to collect 2 lol

[@sweetsonicstars1]

I'd totally buy the fiesty pin I love flawed pins/other merch

[@SydneySurfRider]

For the MMMA the worst pin set had to be February Pirates of the Caribbean, best is probably Tiki Room or Mad Tea Party because of the bright colors. I did not like the retro toys pin series, me and my mom were both like what happened and how are the going to sell this. I did not like the Basketball team pins that they had because there was so many of them and never went on sale and was hard to find new pins with all the Basketball pins. Overall 2020 was a good year for pins. Almost forgot I absolutely love the 2020 Easter Eggs pins, (they were the first limited edition pins I ever bought since I have not been to the parks in a really long time.)

[@nolongerlost]

I cant stand any of the pins realised at boxed lunch or hot topic. Far away they look semi cute and then just horrible up close. And thanks for letting me know about the " scented " pins I thought the whole pin smelled not just the card ❤

[@serafinalewan698]

I am probably in the minority but I was underwhelmed by the Disney Parks 20th anniversary collection. I was expecting so much more.

[@morganalxis]

Lol everyone mustve been using the i before e rule for the fiesty pin 😅😅

[@girlinthe3102]

what's your thought on pins that say "2020"? Do you think years from now people will have a better appreciation of or nostalgia for them?

[@lopesj6670]

See you flexing them nails, wish you could review star wars products love your voice and mouse ears lol

[@robbyu.672]

The problem with a lot of these releases now is Disney realizes they can throw their pins on Loungefly and Boxed Lunch, make the licensing fees, and people will buy these poorly crafted pins.

[@love4yeojin838]

great video, but it would be easier to understand what you’re talking about if you kept the photos up while you were talking about them

[@Victoria-cm7yh]

It's too bad that the vintage Mickey toy designs translate so poorly to a 2-D pin, because some of the actual toys they're based on are pretty cute.

[@billyjobobb]

I really can’t stand the tiny kingdom pins. For the size and mayhem I just won’t bother. They’ll show up as fakes in 50 pin lots.

[@noeonegetsleftbehind7305]

I agree with the snowman pins! They are horrible!

[@owlsry4093]

The snowman set is terrible!
