Francis Ladybug Pin Trader Delight (PTD)

This charming Limited Edition 500 pin features Francis, the tough-talking but soft-hearted ladybug from Disney and Pixar’s 1998 film, A Bug's Life. He is depicted as part of the popular Pin Trader’s Delight series, which is known for showcasing characters enjoying various ice cream treats. In this design, Francis is seen happily carrying a large scoop of ice cream on a cone, complete with chocolate syrup and rainbow sprinkles. The Pin Trader’s Delight series is a highly sought-after collection traditionally released at the Disney Studio Store Hollywood, often serving as a reward for purchasing specific sundae sets. Collectors prize these pins for their whimsical artwork, character-specific food pairings, and the relatively low Limited Edition size. As a member of the circus troupe in A Bug's Life, Francis is a fan-favorite character who famously challenges gender stereotypes within the film. This pin is an excellent representation of the humor and personality found in the movie, making it a must-have for Pixar fans and completist collectors. The clean, colorful enamel work captures Francis’s iconic look, from his ladybug shell to his expressive facial features. Given the limited production, this pin remains a Hard to Find piece for those actively building their Pin Trader’s Delight collection.
