Pins Released on the Disney Store/shopDisney in Europe 2018


Each year Disney release some exclusives and unique items at their official online website which is only available there. This includes special pins.


Disney released a lot of different pins in 2018, with some inspired by live-action movies or animated movies. Pins can also show characters or other things.

Normally, Disney release these "Limited Edition" pins but 2018 was totally different. Only a few pins and pin sets were actually "Limited Edition". Most of them were not released in limited availability.

In 2018 Disney Store was under a big update: it was renamed "shopDisney". Although nothing else happened, the online website should now be known as the new name. It happened to the European Disney Store websites in August 2018.

Below is a list with images of each pin released during 2018. The price and release dates are also listed.

Please note: this information is for Europe only.




Mickey Mouse Memories


From January to December 2018, Disney released a new pin set with 3 pins each month on the 18th (except for the one in December which was released on the 10th) to celebrate Mickey Mouse's 90th anniversary. These pins were each inspired by a specific time from the 1920s to 2018. The price was £15 for each.


Along with the release of the 12 pin sets, Disney also released a special "collector book". It was released on 1st February and meant to keep each pin set inside the book. It contained also a special starter pin. The price was £20.



Other pins


On 10th January, 3 different pin sets were released. They're inspired by the Disney movies Zootopia/Zootropolis, Aladdin, and The Nightmare Before Christmas and based upon the Disney Emoji concept. The price was £8 for each.

On 4th May, a mystery pin set was released to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. They were each priced £12.

Limited Edition and other pin sets


The first Limited Edition pin set was Coco which was released on 9th January. It's the first and only release in 2018 to get a banner on the website. In the past years when a pin should be releasing soon, it got a banner so you would know when it came, how it looked and what the price was. This was removed from all other releases after this one. The banner was released online already in 2017 (which is why the year in seen on the right side), so it's possible that they decided to go away from this.


The 2nd pin set was released on 3rd August and is inspired by Pixar's Incredibles 2. The price was £60.
