Disney Animal Kingdom Kite Tails Colonel Hathi Elephant Chaser Pin

This vibrant pin features Colonel Hathi, the authoritative elephant leader from Disney's 1967 animated classic, The Jungle Book. Released in 2016 at Walt Disney World, this pin is a part of the Kite Tails mystery collection, which celebrates the whimsical, larger-than-life kites featured in the Disney's Animal Kingdom park entertainment. The design depicts the Colonel Hathi kite in a stylized, artistic form with intricate blue and purple patterns across his head and trunk, accompanied by a small green palm leaf accent. As a Chaser pin within the set, this piece is significantly harder to find than the standard mystery pins, making it a highly sought-after item for completionists. The Kite Tails series is particularly popular among collectors who appreciate the unique, stylized representation of Disney characters in kite form. Colonel Hathi remains a beloved character for his memorable 'Colonel Hathi's March' scene, where he leads the elephant patrol through the jungle. The pin’s distinct color palette and unique subject matter help it stand out in any collection. Collectors value this pin for its status as a Chaser, adding a layer of exclusivity to the set. It serves as a colorful tribute to both the character's legacy and the park's creative atmosphere.
