Pete Puzzle Collector - Celebrating Disney Pins 25: Medals

This collectible pin features Pete, Disney's oldest recurring character, as part of the Celebrating Disney Pins 25: Medals series. Released in 2025 at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, this pin commemorates the 25th anniversary of official Disney pin trading. The design showcases a Pin on Pin style, where the central circular element featuring Pete holding a puzzle piece is layered over a metallic, medal-shaped base. Pete, who first appeared in the Alice Comedies in 1925, is depicted here in his classic antagonistic yet iconic style, holding a puzzle piece that ties into the broader series theme. The medal-shaped border includes the text 'AUTHENTIC OFFICIAL DISNEY PINS' and a prominent '25' at the top, signifying the silver anniversary of the hobby. As a Limited Edition 4000 release, this pin serves as a significant milestone marker for traders who have participated in the community over the last quarter-century. The medal design lends a prestigious feel to the pin, making it a sought-after piece for character collectors and anniversary completionists alike. Given Pete's status as a foundational character in Disney animation, his presence on anniversary-themed merchandise is particularly appealing to long-term collectors. The high-quality finish and the Pin on Pin construction add depth and tactile interest to the piece, distinguishing it from standard flat pins.
