Stitch Japan Pavilion Epcot 40th Anniversary Pin

This vibrant pin features Stitch, the lovable Experiment 626 from the 2002 film Lilo & Stitch, dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono. He is portrayed sitting in front of the iconic five-story pagoda found at the Japan Pavilion in the World Showcase at Walt Disney World. The background displays a deep blue night sky illuminated by colorful fireworks, capturing the festive atmosphere of the pavilion. This piece is part of the EPCOT 40th Anniversary Collection, which celebrated four decades of the park's history in 2022. As a Limited Release pin, it was made available to guests during the anniversary festivities at Walt Disney World. Stitch remains one of the most popular characters in the pin trading community, often referred to as a 'grail' character by many collectors. The design perfectly blends Epcot's cultural representation with the whimsical nature of the character. The bottom of the pin features stylized 'JAPAN' lettering followed by the official 'EPCOT 40' logo. It serves as a fantastic memento for fans of both the World Showcase and the chaotic, heartwarming alien.
