Hidden Mickey 2018 DLR - Toontown Signs - Goofy’s Gas

This pin is part of the 2018 Hidden Mickey series released at the Disneyland Resort, specifically within the Toontown Signs subset. It features a circular design mimicking a vintage-style gas station sign for 'Goofy’s Gas,' a humorous nod to the beloved character Goofy. The text 'Ka-boom!' is prominently displayed in the center, highlighting the chaotic and clumsy nature often associated with Goofy's antics in his various cartoons. A small, iconic Mickey Mouse head icon is located on the right side of the pin, which serves as the signature mark for the Hidden Mickey collection. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed to Cast Members at the Disneyland Resort to be used for trading with park guests. This series is highly popular among collectors who enjoy themed subsets, such as the various signs found throughout Mickey's Toontown. The simplistic, clean graphic design makes it a quintessential example of the Hidden Mickey pins released during that year. Goofy first appeared as Dippy Dawg in the 1932 short 'Mickey's Revue' and has since become one of Disney's most enduring characters. Collectors value these pins for their affordability and the fun challenge of acquiring the complete set through in-park trading.
