Don Carlton - Monsters University Mystery Collection

This pin features Don Carlton, the eldest member of the Oozma Kappa fraternity, as part of the Monsters University Mystery Collection released in 2014. Monsters University, the prequel to the 2001 hit Monsters, Inc., was released in 2013 and introduced audiences to the origins of Mike and Sulley's friendship. Don Carlton, a mature student and successful salesman, is depicted here in his signature green sweater, capturing his friendly and encouraging personality. As an Open Edition release, this pin was available at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, making it a accessible piece for fans of the film. Mystery collection pins are highly sought after by collectors who enjoy the thrill of completing a set of various characters from specific movie rosters. The design focuses on character-centric portraiture, framed by the stylized 'DON' lettering. For collectors, this pin serves as a nostalgic memento of the college-themed Pixar expansion. Its inclusion in a mystery set often makes specific characters harder to track down as trading patterns fluctuate over time. The vibrant colors and clear character likeness make it a staple for any Pixar-themed pin board.
