Ed the Hyena - The Lion King Laughing Mystery Collection

This pin features the iconic Ed the Hyena from Disney’s 1994 animated masterpiece, The Lion King, as part of the The Lion King Laughing Mystery Collection released in late 2024. Ed is well-remembered for his erratic behavior and distinctive, manic laughter, which provided much of the comic relief alongside Shenzi and Banzai within Scar’s hyena trio. As a mystery pin, this piece is part of a blind-box series sold at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, making it a sought-after item for fans looking to complete their sets. The pin captures Ed’s signature crazed expression, rendered in a style that highlights his chaotic personality. Mystery collections are highly popular among pin traders because they often feature varying degrees of scarcity, sometimes including a rare Chaser or a Completer pin that drives secondary market interest. Because Ed is a fan-favorite sidekick from one of the most successful films in Disney history, this pin holds significant appeal for collectors of The Lion King memorabilia. The release date of November 27, 2024, places this within the modern era of Disney pin production, where character-focused mystery sets remain a staple of the park experience. Collectors value such pins for their ability to add personality and humor to a display board, especially when grouped with other characters from the Pride Lands. Whether you are an avid trader or a casual collector, this Ed the Hyena pin serves as a delightful representation of a memorable character.
