Great Mouse Detective Pin Group

If anyone is familiar with the pin-trading website PinPics, you might remember how it looked before it was revamped. One of the features that was lost in the "upgrade" was the list of pin groups created by members to showcase their favourites. It will come as no surprise to learn that the Great Mouse Detective group was created by Whatsits Galore. For posterity as well as old time's sake, we recreate it here, with updates when new pins become available.

	Pin 55559: Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective pinback button This 3" button is an early example of the all-too-sparse memorabilia for a terrific film. The logo reflects the somewhat odd title change to "The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective," a decision that continues to cause confusion. Basil and Olivia engage in one of their favourite pastimes: observing footprints through a magnifying glass.
	Pin 57324: Campaign Button This promotional button was available to retailers in Great Britain as part of Disney's advertising campaign for the first release. It was included with a packet of promo signs and clip art. At less than 2" across, a small but attractive button featuring a small but attractive Basil examining a clue and shouting, "It's Elementary!"
	Pin 5168: Walt Disney Home Video pin: Basil One of 6 Great Mouse Detective pins available only in Europe to contest winners. Basil is quite happy with his magnifying glass at the ready.
