Pumbaa Smiling

This charming pin features Pumbaa, the lovable and flatulent warthog from Disney’s animated classic, The Lion King, originally released in 1994. The design captures Pumbaa in a classic, cheerful pose with a wide, toothy grin and his signature tusks prominently displayed. This pin is part of the 2019 The Lion King Booster Pin Set, which was released at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World in early 2020. As an Open Edition pin, it offers a more accessible way for collectors to celebrate one of the most iconic sidekicks in Disney history. Pumbaa is widely celebrated for his 'Hakuna Matata' philosophy, making him a perennial favorite among fans of the film. The pin features clean, bold lines and high-quality enamel work consistent with standard park-released booster set pins. Because it is part of a booster set, it is often sought after by traders looking to complete their Lion King character collections. Its bright, expressive design makes it a staple for any fan of the Pride Lands. The pin serves as a great entry-level piece for new collectors or a fun addition for seasoned veterans focusing on character-specific sets.
