Tsum Tsum Mystery Set 5 - Carl Frederickson

This pin features Carl Fredricksen, the grumpy yet endearing protagonist from the critically acclaimed 2009 Pixar film 'Up', rendered in the adorable, stackable Tsum Tsum art style. Released in 2017 as part of the Tsum Tsum Mystery Set 5, this pin captures Carl's iconic look, complete with his thick-rimmed glasses, bushy eyebrows, and signature round nose. The design is an Open Edition, making it a staple piece for collectors who focus on Pixar characters or those who enjoy the charming, simplified aesthetic of the Tsum Tsum series. These mystery sets were sold at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, allowing fans to build their collections through blind-bag purchases. Carl is depicted here without his usual balloons, focusing entirely on his distinctive facial features and stoic expression. The Tsum Tsum phenomenon, inspired by the Japanese plush line, became a massive collecting trend for Disney, leading to numerous pin releases across the parks. Because it is an Open Edition pin, it serves as an accessible entry point for newer collectors while remaining a favorite for completionists of the 'Up' character set. Its small, compact design makes it perfect for displaying on pin boards or lanyards alongside other Pixar favorites. As a representation of a beloved character from a modern classic, this pin celebrates the legacy of Carl Fredricksen's journey to Paradise Falls.
