Hidden Mickey 2018 - Ice Cream - Pluto

This charming pin is part of the 2018 Hidden Mickey series, specifically the Ice Cream sub-set, which features popular Disney characters reimagined as iconic park treats. The pin depicts Pluto, Disney's beloved dog character who first appeared in the 1930 animated short 'The Chain Gang,' transformed into a yellow popsicle. The design features a stylized popsicle stick, a bite taken out of the top, and a subtle Hidden Mickey icon integrated into the yellow icing. The popsicle is accented with a green stick and a red ring detail, reflecting Pluto's signature collar. As an Open Edition pin originally released at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, it was distributed primarily through the Hidden Mickey pin trading program. Collectors frequently seek out this series because of the creative 'food-themed' character designs that have become a staple of modern Disney pin collecting. Because it is an Open Edition pin, it was intended to be traded with Cast Members, making it a fun and accessible piece of park history for enthusiasts. Its clean design and recognizable character imagery make it a standout in the 2018 Hidden Mickey wave.
