Hollywood Studios Clapboards Mystery Collection - Lightning McQueen

This pin features Lightning McQueen, the iconic star of the 2006 Pixar film Cars, depicted within a cinematic clapboard design. Released in 2011 at Walt Disney World, this piece is part of the Hollywood Studios Clapboards Mystery Collection. The design cleverly incorporates the top 'clapper' portion of a film slate as a hinged element, which adds a dimensional, interactive quality to the pin. As an Open Edition release, it was designed for accessibility, allowing fans of the Piston Cup champion to commemorate the movie-making magic found at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Lightning McQueen is shown with his signature determined expression, complete with his bright red paint job and yellow racing details. The bottom of the pin features the text 'Disney's Hollywood Studios' in a bold, stylized font, anchoring it to its specific park origin. Mystery collections like this one are highly popular among collectors for their 'blind box' format, which encourages trading and set completion. Because it features a beloved Pixar character, this pin remains a staple for Cars franchise enthusiasts and those who collect park-themed memorabilia. The hinged clapper detail is a hallmark of high-quality Disney pin design, mimicking the look of real on-set equipment used during film production.
